I would mail a notice to the case on file at the court stating that "Holding me, a man, without a claim of wrong doing is interfering with my right to freedom. I would state that for every minute I am being held I require compensation of x amount of dollars (Making it high). I would name the judge, and the people involved that are involved in the interference as liable for these fees. I would state finally that if the judge (by name) doesn't act in a lawful manner then he must remove himself from the case and I would require the interference be stopped immediately, or pay my fees.
Please note that I would reference every statement in writing. Every notice would have my full name with the words "All rights reserved," underneath my name. If appearing in court, I would always refer to the notice that the court has received if they have questions or need clarification on something. Unless there is doubt in its clarity, I would speak to that, but briefly.
Everything else that is not related to clarity is them trying to exercise jurisdiction. Most courts will try to trip me up with my words. I always write plainly using my own words and never legal language.
The important thing I remember about courts is that, everything I say can be used against me, and everything they say is a legal determination. So I always use questions when speaking in my voice to the court. "Did you read my notice?", "Is everything in my notice clear?"
If that doesn't get their attention then I would sue the judge for damages in a separate court case using small claims court if they require fees I would let them know that my rights are being interfered with and I cannot afford to pay them (if I didn't have the money).
Most people will scoff at this because it sounds stupid, but there are ways to deal with U.S courts that most people don't really understand.
At the very least, I would get a paper trail going of my claim. I often remind myself of the word "Acquiescence". If I don't get something in writing that I do not consent to these actions, I have no rights.
Lastly, if I was actually guilty of a crime in a scenario like this it would come back on me either during my claim or some time in the future if its discovered.
Wrongdoing against another is harm and I would answer for that.
