Cops wailing on sovereign citizens is the one form of police-force overreach I allow.

So, alright, I have an authoritarian streak.

As much as I hate these pompous asses who feel they belong to a sovereign realm in their own minds, I think they have a point about police stops and requests for ID. In most of these cases the police don't have the rights to stop anyone and definitely don't have the right to randomly search people without good reason. Unfortunately their baby wailing about sovereign citizenship obscures this bigger issue.

That's true.

I'm more of a "never talk to the police" type. Sovereign citizens seem to try to bombard cops with :words:

I've noticed in a lot of these "Sovereign Citizen" videos it's actually just a person not wanting to talk to a cop. Which means a lot of people think "Sovereign Citizen" means "people who don't comply with police" which is kind of a scary conflation.

I just kind of skipped around it but it looked like it worked in at least one of the cases? The cops didn't know how to respond to the one dude and just kind of let him drive away

he's clearly a grifter but he's also clearly insane

so basically he stumbled onto some schizophrenic wisdom and instead of going "i am god now" he went "i will use the powers of god to bilk the rubes for $$$"

They’re not getting pulled over for no reason you dummy theyre gettin pulled over because they don’t believe in license plates or car registration and they’re also usually drunk.

Yeah I’m less a fan of those. I don’t think I’ve ever been stopped in one though, at least the places I’ve lived they must be very rare.

There's one near me that's pretty routine, just south of a stretch on the Coast Highway with a lot of bars. I can't say that I care though because there are a lot of drunk idiots coming down that road and if you're a local you'd know to just take the parallel road on the other side of the train tracks anyway.

Sovereign Citizens should totally get a free pass on their first DUI or whatever so long as they're immediately remanded to ICE as illegal aliens.

I've been through a few, and was never drunk but a couple times was carrying a decent amount of weed which was always kind of nerve wracking since it was potent

All this time and nobody's posted Meads v Meads yet? Justice Rooke does a 736 paragraph treatise on the "organized pseudolegal commercial argument" litigant.

https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/abqb/doc/2012/2012abqb571/2012abqb571.html

he especially unloads on the Moorish Law folks

[190] The exotic nature of the Moorish Law movement and its claims warrant some comment, as casual exposure to a Moorish Law litigant may lead an observer to suspect mental impairment or disorder. The Moorish Law community is a predominately American offshoot of urban American black muslim churches such as a Nation of Islam. They claim that black muslims who self-identify as “Moors” are not subject to state or court authority because they are governed by separate law, or are the original inhabitants of North and South America.

Really really funny wiki article on this loving nutcase

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Wynn_Miller

Quote:
"In March 2015, David Lewis Turner, a resident of Mooresville, NC was convicted in Statesville, NC of embezzlement of nearly $400,000. He was sentenced to a term of 6-8 years for this Class C felony. He represented himself at trial as a sovereign citizen. He had been the first successor trustee of the estate of his mother. The trust directed that each of her 3 children receive an equal 1/3 of the net estate. Rather than distribute equal shares, the defendant kept 2/3 for himself. His defense was that the trust was invalid since it was not written in D. W. Miller’s recommended proper syntax grammar. Turner espoused therefore as trustee he had no obligation to follow the terms of an invalid trust. He did not explain how the alleged invalid trust was valid enough to identify him as first trustee and allow his control of all trust assets. At one point he read a statement in parse-syntax-grammar, then declared himself the only true judge in the courtroom, tried to take control of the court and ordered the bailiffs to stand at attention."

Depending on your country/state the act your police operate under may allow for random searches if people seem to be acting intentional evasive or inherently suspicious.

Being a smart rear end not suspicious. Identifying yourself as as required at a road stop, you maybe hiding something.
