Yeah about the dangers of drinking the bong water!

As a big fan of Brent and his significant role as Manly icon, this is rather upsetting.
The only saving grace is that Magistrate Roger Clisdell is an unusually patient and tolerant man (unlike plenty of others) and certainly if he has any inkling there are mental health issues he will be alert to that. However there is no guarantee he will be presiding on the next date.
Kite is on a slippery slope to ruin with these beliefs. The current charges are trivial but if he refuses to pay fines or gets caught again the penalties can quickly escalate and very soon the courts hands are tied, in terms of legal options.
Brent needs to stop driving or wake up and smell the roses.
Wonder if any of his old teammates are still in touch, @The better Robbo may know? I seriously fear for Brent if he doesn't have grounded support at hand.
Not so certain your magistrate Rodger Clisdell is that understanding with comments like..
"I can cut myself in half if it helps"
Or this zinger as kite left.. "one too many scrums"
Lol, no but you probably had to be there. Sounds like Kite would have tested anyone's patience with that carry on.
Kite "painted" himself as a sovereign citizen through his delusional behavior, and through his own idiotic words @anthonyb1965 . His subsequent behavior at court and re-parroting of sovereign citizen doctrine, has just reinforced how learned dogma, can result in mental confusion.

Delusional may be more on the money than just a matter of simple stupidity?
My only direct experience with someone claiming to be a sovereign citizen in court was a person who had a serious mental condition.
Now I'm no expert in CTE but think I've read that delusions and other erratic behaviour can be among the symptoms.
I'd like to think the club has tried to reach out to Brent. Of course, whether he'd be receptive is another matter, but ... imagine if his brain is addled due to over 300 top level games of rugby league. Is that too far fetched?
We get them at my work all the time.
They go to court and tell the magistrate they don't have to pay rates.
The magistrates usually tell them to keep on believing that and their property will be sold, and once it's gone it's gone.
They all come good before the properties get to that stage.
Yep @SeaEagleRock8 your 100% right. Edited as above.
It is so hard to believe we're talking about the same Brent Kite ex Manly player, CC medal and premiership winner, mentor to young players and a real family man. As I read the court details, I thought it seems he's been in one too many scrums, which as it turned out is what the magistrate said...
This is both sad and disturbing. I hope he can acknowledge and get the help he needs - and/or a good lawyer, or he could well be locked up.

I had a friend in the finance game and he said with home loans - banks are kinda forgiving about a lot of non payments but will freak out if the person doesn't pay their rates. It's the one thing banks want to see paid.
I guess, because if left unpaid the govt can grab the house or something, I dunno.
n-e-way, I don't know all the details about Kite but if he needs help, I hope he gets it.
I didn't know cops were allowed to smash your window? Jay-z tells me they needed a warrant! But he had 99 problems.

Mr BPD
Always liked Kite as a bloke and player so this is very difficult to process.
Have some friends who share similar unique beliefs.
Feelings are not facts.

So much for those calls for him to join Manly’s coaching staff. He will not be part of any club’s setup for quite awhile.

At least Rodger has a sense of humor - not too many magistrates like that.
