Britain has these nutjobs too, but in the traditional British way we get it slightly hosed up so the main beef with the British equivalent is the drat TV Licence and how you can beat the system by saying magic words.

Not that I really wish this was the case, but it would be funny to see some of the Tv Licence ones enforced like the US Police enforce refusing to hand over your driving licence, i.e. smashing your poo poo up.

* Dave invites the Tv Licence Officer into his house and there is a TV, but it is unplugged *
"Ah dun't need Tv Licence cos ma telly is unplugged" *smug grin*
" Sir do you have a licence or not? "
"Nah Ah dun't need one like"
" If you have a TV and watch live broadcasts you need a licecne" *Smashes TV to pieces with baton and walks out*

Sovereign citizens are pretty hilarious because they understand that there are magic words that mean the law doesn't apply to you but they're "I'm rick as gently caress" and not "I don't consent". You also need to have the money to back it up.

sovereign citizens are just mentally ill people who have subscribed to anarchism

I mean their whole thing is rejecting the idea that the government can possess rights that individuals cannot. while as an actual basis for policy (or lack thereof) this is laughable imo, as an idea it has a rich philosophical history. it's an important idea to analyse and consider for anyone learning law or public policy.

but anarchists, even anarchists who believe they can and should put their philosophy into practise, understand that until they do they still have to deal with society's laws and breaking them will result in adverse consequences from courts and law enforcement.

sovereign citizens seem to think that there are magic words that invalidate this fact and then act really surprised when that inevitably fails to work. that's loving mental illness.

Still waiting for the day for a Judge in a Sovereign Citizen case to just ask:

"So you do not believe in any rule of law that is currently followed by the 360 million other inhabitants of this land?"

"No."

"Then you cant sue us for doing the following. Officer, please shoot him in the kneecaps, I don't want him to walk from now on."

that's sick. I'd let a cop do that to my window, as long as he wasn't a pussy glove wearer. gonna watch the other because drumming is totally what I want to see. Maybe a cop siren rave.

Door windows are really weak to pressure from the top like that. And the glass just disintegrates when you do it. Just, boom, window's not there anymore. It's easier to break them like that than by hitting them straight on. Cop isn't a superhero, he just knows how to get through a car window.

Still pretty badass he did it bare-handed.

I have two tv's, both used as monitors, never bothered tuning them or looking for an ariel socket.

If there is ever a knock on the door, its usually me that has to answer, (shared hallway with other tenants. live in first flat, so I get buzzed first.)
about 4 months ago some goob did indeed come knocking, rang all the bells, so I answered the door with a "hello" and another flat guy stuck his head out from behind his door, I waited for the fat little man in front of me to state his business, but he seemed too worked up on who's flat was who, who was I, who was the guy on oxygen down the hall. before I had the chance to say "private property, pavements that way" the new guy down the hall said yes, his name was "mr frail guy down the hall on oxygen".
stunning, so bloke got to sidle past me to have a look in his flat for a tv.

jokes on them though, he did not have to pay his tv license, as he died about a week later.

As a non american I lol just lol that you guys have so many sub-human animals living in your country (regardless of race) that your police force has escalated to a military-grade 'shoot first, ask questions later' style of force.

Aren't you guys worried that, ya know, one wrong move when you're out having a few drinks and BAM you're loving dead? Or that the police seem to literally make things up as they go along without regard for proper process?

Or do the majority of goons (being white and middle class I assume) just not have to worry about this sort of negative interaction with your law enforcement?

Don't worry, wherever dumbfuck place you live is the same way

Sovereign citizens are idiots and I like watching them be owned hard by upstanding officers of the law. Thank you op for this thread

Nah, it appears I am a Subject.

forreals: I know people who get into the polices face daily, they have been arrested countless times, it seems that fracking in the uk is not going to be quite as simple and clear cut as it was in the states.
very very occasionally, the antifrackers include "freemen on the land" folks, but, as everyone is liable to be arrested meaninglessly, for the judge to throw the entire case out most of the time, I don't think many people are keeping close tabs on what those specific freemen people are saying/doing.

the sign I have "NOT FOR HIRE" is there just to let the cops know I'm not in commerce.......so far none have stopped me......they have followed me for several min. but have turned away after about 5 min.

Semi related to sovereign citizen dickheads are people who refuse to answer whether or not they are a US citizen at DHS checkpoints. You're technically not legally required to answer yes or no because DHS checkpoints are not the same as actual border checkpoints, and people have for some reason decided that arguing in circles and making the officer suspicious of you until they get loving fed up of you and tell you to go because legally they can't detain you unless their suspicion has reasonable proof is a better proposition than saying "yes". And then if the officer DOES decide that the person refusing to say if they are or are not a citizen of the fuckin country they're coming into is FOR SOME REASON suspicious you get the same "waaaah you're violating my right to be a lovely pissant to you!!" rigamarole as with freemen.
