How do they think that the officer is bound by law but they aren’t?
It’s magical thinking. They believe they found a legal loophole that means they’re obeying the law, because they don’t actually need things like license plates or a drivers license.
For example, they commonly believe that the law actually defines “driving” as a commercial activity, as in “to drive a herd of cattle”. So they insist that they aren’t “driving a motor vehicle”, they’re just “traveling in their conveyance”.
It’s why the poster made a point of saying they were privately traveling.
They are remarkably compartmented in their beliefs about the law.
Maybe the cop was a sovereign citizen too, what makes you so sure he has a constitution to uphold?
Well, they may have a point. Was the sovereign citizen travelling on their own road or someone else’s road whom gave them permission to? If so, that’s totally fine and the police officer shouldn’t be policing stuff owned by other people, only the government’s stuff.
Oh, what’s that? It was the government’s stuff? Well, what a surprise. A person using roads that aren’t their’s and are in no position to pay for breaking anything or anyone while on them. It’s like a stranger walking in your house and just using your shit, “It’s okay, I’m a sovereign citizen and the law says I don’t have to follow the law.”
Nah it’s not like that… I can just go into your house because I spell my name with lowercase letters and put a lot of weird semicolons and shit in there. See when I do that it’s just me the person in your house and not the legal entity that the courts think I am that’s there. They’re two separate entities! So legally I’m not in your house.
BTW, you’re out of beer, when are you gonna get some more? I didn’t legally drink your beer, but… you’re out of beer.
Imagine hating government so much that you dedicate your life to making your own whole government by way of amateur arts and crafts
DAE have an idea, what the 9 violations might be?
I am not from the US, but i would assume sth. like operating an unregistered vehicle, driving w.o. licencse and maybe one violation he got pulled over for in the first place.
What could the other six violations be?
Prob add fake driving licence. Fake id.
resisting arrest, failure to ID
This kind of people sound like they would drive a 1980 shitbox with no headlights, broken side mirrors, dysfunctional blinkers…
These posts are the highlight of my day!!!
I have so, so many hahaha.
I’m curious if you interact with any of these people, or do you just lurk?
Sometimes I give them (benign) bogus advice, like to suggest they use a specific kind of postage stamp on their crazy correspondence, which I say is the seal of the great councillor of admiralty and allodial titles.
Use “colloidal”, put some soil science in there, as in “This asphalt road was placed on my soil, restricting its colloidal properties, therefore this asphalt belongs to me and not the state of Insanity.”
Oh I like that. Good one.
Honestly, without seeing consequences I find them frustrating.
Sometimes they just don’t post then, usually because they are paper terrorizing some poor court clerk in response.
Just the idea that you can force yourself onto another countries road and tell them you don’t need a license/etc is so narcissistic it’s crazy lol.
They don’t understand that private means use on private property.
Like, it doesn’t have to be licensed, I assume, if you have an old truck you use to get around on the farm or ranch or whatever.
Which makes a certain amount of sense.
But the moment you’re on the public roads, you can’t be driving a private vehicle, that’s not how any of this works.
I wonder why they are obsessed with all things vehicle. I am pretty sure they could make a big show out of not doing jury duty or not answering the complete census without much happening to them.
They are really keen on using those roads which society created for their benefit.
America in general is car obcessed. Also car related fees are expensive so getting out of them would help
Solution: keep on traveling bub
What’s the origin of this “traveling doesn’t require a license” thing? Usually the sovereign citizens end up grossly misinterpreting some real statute or law. “Traveling” seems to show up consistently. I’m just curious where it came from.
