my favourite sovcit video was the one where this guy is asked if he understands the charges and he keeps saying "I comprehend them but I do not stand under them" because 'understand' means 'stand under' which means you agree to be governed by (the law in question). iirc the judge ends up holding him in contempt. he went on youtube and used this video as proof of how much he owned the judge.

Learn about this great man on mormon.org
I dont know what a sovereign citizen is but the only important thing in my life is being a Star Citizen. Let me tell you about a man with a vision, a man with an unbeatable record in games development. The man I am talking about is Chris Roberts.
Through a combination of hard work and dedication he has produced a game that has saved PC gaming. A game with high fidelity graphics, ground breaking physics and an opportunity to create a new life.

Imagine being a space trader, star pilot or perhaps a dastardly pirate, all of these can be lived in Chris Roberts universe.

When I log on i am so immersed in the universe that I only realise a day has passed when sunlight peeks through my black out curtain.

Come join goonfleet and participate in giant space battles, the goon train has no brakes and we are a good bunch of guys. Head over to the games forum to sign up.

See you in the verse friends.

I was renewing my license plates and registration and etc about 5 years ago and got cornered by a sovereign citizen in the parking lot. He was very confrontational when I responded "I don't care" to his rant about not needing insurance or license plates. I still laugh about it to this day.

This stupid poo poo keeps popping up in my town. SovCits are buying ad space on billboards telling everybody that using a legal name is illegal. No description of what that means, or a website where you can find more or anything. When they first appeared, a quick googling lead to obvious retarded SovCit crap, but now thankfully it's just news articles going "nah these guys are loving dumb, ignore everything they say unless you really like going to jail".

Sure, we're all living in a state of anarchy ruled by pretenders without a mandate. As it turns out, any competent jurist doesn't find this fact very interesting or clever.

The reality of this situation is more like this:

The executioner is subject to U.S. laws, so therefore it is legal for him to lower the guillotine. The executed, not being subject to U.S. laws, may attempt to escape.

There was a sovereign citizen who would fly his camera drone around the data center i work around and upload the videos to youtube with commentary saying things like "this is where they're starting the project to take all of your memories" or some insane poo poo. he also recorded it when a bunch of our security came out and confronted him.

i think it went something like this
"you can't loving fly a drone over a construction site or over private property"
"i've never heard of those laws, but it doesn't matter anyway, because i don't follow your laws. i'm a sovereign citizen."

he ended up getting arrested when his drone died and fell onto the property and then he trespassed to get it.

But the "executed" is in fact a citizen subject to laws, and the "executioner" must treat him properly when he issues him a parking ticket. It's not like a cop would get a pat on the back for shooting self-declared sovereign citizens.

You are right, the execution itself is the act of subjecting the citizen to the law. It is the power of enforcement itself that legitimates the government, if anything does.

The fact that people bother rebutting is mind boggling to me. Why reason with someone who thinks you can just opt out of the law using magical words?

Also, I love the inherent contradiction with Sovereigns, which is that they think the government is fundamentally illegitimate but they loving love litigation. In other words, the government is fundamentally illegitimate, except insofar as the judicial branch wants to grant me the relief that I'm seeking.
