Jonathan Frieman is a political activist who lives in Marin County, California.
=="Corporate personhood" case==
Frieman received major international media attention in January, 2013, when he deliberately got a traffic citation for driving in the carpool lane with incorporation papers that Frieman stated qualified him to be in the lane during the restricted hours. He contested the citation.
Frieman's defense states that the wording of the restrictive highway signage refers specifically to "persons"; therefore, case law is applicable, going back to U.S. legal decisions from the 19th century, including ''Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad'' and to the more widely known 2010 "corporate personhood" case titled ''Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission''. Frieman contends that if corporations are indeed "persons", that carrying corporate papers in his car allows him to drive in the carpool lane. Stating: "Corporations are imaginary entities, and we've let them run wild," Frieman cites the California Vehicle Code, section 470, noting that under the wording of the freeway sign, his ticket for driving in the lane should be tossed out. Frieman's attorney Ford Greene observed: "When the corporate presence in our electoral process is financially dominant, by parity it appears appropriate to recognize such presence in an automobile. Frieman has lost the first round of the case in Marin court, but an appeal is planned.
