EJUSDEM GENERIS. Of the same kind.
Bouvier's law Dictionary, 1856
Rule of ejusdem generis, which holds that where general words follow enumeration of particular classes of persons or things, general words will be construed as applicable only to persons or things with same general nature or class as those enumerated, applies whether specific words follow general words in a statute or vise versa; in either event, general term or category is restricted to those things that are similar to those which are enumerated specifically.
People ex Rel. San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Com'n v. Smith, 31 Cal.Rptr.2d. 488 (Cal.App. 1st 1994)
"Ejusdem generis" provides that where general words follow specific words in statutory enumeration, general words are construed to comprise only objects similar in nature to those enumerated by preceding specific words; likewise, where specific words follow general words in statutory enumeration, doctrine is equally applicable, and restricts application of general term to objects similar to specific
words.
Carriere v. Cominco Alaska, Inc., 823 F. Supp. 680. (D. Alaska 1993)
Principle of "ejusdem generis" provides that general statutory term should be understood in light of specific terms that surround it.
U.S. v. Parker, 30 F.3d. 542 (C.A. 5th Va. 1994)
Expressio unius est exclusio alterius.
The expression of one thing is the exclusion of another.
Bouvier’s Law Dictionary, 1856
"We the people..." or the "people" ARE NOT mentioned in the Vehicle Code!
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE
§54950 DECLARATION OF LEGISLATIVE PURPOSE. “In enacting this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people’s business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly.The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created”.

SECTION 100

Re Corporations are Persons, Here: http://www.ratical.org/corporations/TCoBeij.html
Is a "NATURAL PERSON" also a corporate entity?
See for yourself here: http://www.ratical.org/corporations/SCvSPR1886.html
The following is an essay on the word "person" as used in the Vehicle Code.
It is important to remember that the accused be properly identified and that absent clear identification, it is somewhat impossible for the accused to be punished if they do not meet the description of the party who allegedly did the deed.
Regarding laws, statutes, codes etc., law dictionary definitions are used primarily when these things are drafted. If one is unaware of the legal definitions of terms used, one may not understand exactly whom is regulated and make a mistake.
For example, the word "driver" has a legal and conventional or colloquial definition that means something entirely different. And this is also related to the context within which the word is used. The word driver as defined in law dictionaries is "One employed...". Yet the majority of people believe this terms means anyone who sits behind the wheel and makes the car move. This couldn't be more wrong and results in people inadvertently mis-classifying themselves as something they more than likely are not upon their discovery of just exactly what and whom are regulated by the DMV.
The one regulated and required by the Vehicle Code is labeled a "person". Therefore if you do not meet the description of a "person" as used in the Vehicle Code, you can not be the subject of the regulations UNLESS you do what the DMV regulates. THEN and only then, will you be required to classify yourself as a "person". The discussion of what the DMV regulates will be found within the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in the matter of Reno v Condon, handed down on January 12th of this year and found at:
http://www.usdoj.gov/osg/briefs/1999/3mer/2mer/98-1464.mer.aa.html
It is most important to understand that the "person" regulated by the DMV may not be you.

From: "Richard James, McDonald" <richard@caprica.com>
When one is reading and trying to understand THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE and one comes to the word person, how is the word person interpreted? There are 6 different listing on page 29, Ss470." " person" includes a natural person, firm, co partnership, association, limited liability company, or corporation."
1 Are all 6 listing separate, with separate subject matter jurisdictions?
2 Do all 6 listings cover the same jurisdiction under the codes?
3 If one is labeled a "person" does he than have the taxable status of a commercial corporation, firm etc? Are the words Man or Women different than the meaning of the word "person" in the codes? Is a "natural person" separate and distinct from the other 5 listings? When reading in different chapters within the codes, how does one make a separation, if any, when one comes to the word "person"? Isn't a natural person a human being, or is a "natural person" as defined in the codes just the corporate status of a human being under contract?
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 11340
11340. The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) There has been an unprecedented growth in the number of administrative
; regulations in recent years.
(b) The language of many regulations is frequently unclear and unnecessarily
complex, even when the complicated and technical nature of the subject matter is
taken into account. The language is often confusing to the persons who must
comply with the regulations.
Does the word person in the government code above stand for private men and women or corporations as found in the VEHICLE CODES. Does the word "person" above mean everyone "must comply" or just commercial entities in the business for profit only.
(d) The imposition of prescriptive standards upon private persons and entities
through regulations where the establishment of performance standards could
reasonably be expected to produce the same result has placed an unnecessary
burden on California citizens and discouraged innovation, research, and
development of improved means of achieving desirable social goals.
(e) There exists no central office in state government with the power and duty to
review regulations to ensure that they are written in a comprehensible manner, are
authorized by statute, and are consistent with other law
Does "other law" mean other statutes and codes, or does it mean the constitutions and common law? Even if there was a central office in government with the duties as said above, it would be corrupted in short order. This is a job for American Patriots who actually understand the constitutions!!!
(g) The complexity and lack of clarity in many regulations put small businesses,
which do not have the resources to hire experts to assist them, at a distinct
disadvantage.
What about private citizens, non-commercial men and women? The "lack of clarity" puts everybody at a disadvantage, is this lack of clarity the smoke and mirrors that is used to control private folks as commercial entities under all codes these days?
11344.9.
(a) Whenever the term "California Administrative Code" appears in law, official
legal paper, or legal publication, it means the "California Code of Regulations."
(b) Whenever the term "California Administrative Notice Register" appears in any
law, official legal paper, or legal publication, it means the "California Regulatory
Notice Register."
(c) Whenever the term "California Administrative Code Supplement" appears in
any law, official legal paper, or legal publication, it means the "California
Regulatory Code Supplement."
Black means white, administrative means REGULATORY, how does this comply with the plain English standards set within these very codes? Is this how administrative laws get to be general regulations for everyone?]
SECTION 11342
(d) "Performance standard" means a regulation that describes an objective with the
criteria stated for achieving the objective.
(e) "Plain English" means language that can be interpreted by a person who has no
more than an eighth grade level of proficiency in English.
(f) "Prescriptive standard" means a regulation that specifies the sole means of
compliance with a performance standard by specific actions, measurements, or
other quantifiable means.
11346. It is the purpose of this chapter to establish basic minimum procedural
; requirements for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of administrative
regulations. Except as provided in Section 11346.1, the provisions of this chapter
are applicable to the exercise of any quasi-legislative power conferred by any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted but nothing in this chapter repeals or diminishes additional requirements
imposed……
Quasi legislative power, now there's a interesting subject, does this mean the agencies such as DMV have something akin to making laws/codes that apply generally to everyone, or must you apply for this statutory control? The government codes shown here must be complied with by DMV and all other government agencies/businesses, nothing is said about Men and Women/private state citizens.
Can someone with only an 8th grade education understand the CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODES, or even these government codes that require clarity? The answer is NO, the DMV codes are designed to mix commercial law with private, and take away our immunities, liberties or rights under the constitutions! It's this confusion, this play on words that have turned America into the land of the FEE and the home of the bamboozled! The governments administrative regulatory agencies/big businesses run this country now, not even our top elected officials can stand up to them. They are IN THE BUSINESS TO PROFIT AND EXPAND.
