    This nutter got it all wrong; if she wants to ignore laws with impunity, she should have gotten herself elected President.

    Oh look at that. They can safely end a pursuit and arrest someone without pitting the car into traffic or an embankment, and without assaulting or killing the person.

      Still way more dangerous than just not chasing. A traffic violation is not worth putting the lives of any bystanders at risk.

    No one going to mention the thin blue line flag… Hard to project an air of rationale with that background.

      Sovereign citizens always made me laugh, ESPECIALLY when they go quoting the Constitution! I mean, what the actual fuck!?

      The Constitution? You are not a fucking citizen of this country, so it does not apply to you, motherfucker! And none of these jackoffs should even be allowed to use our roads, our postal system, none of it. What are they going to do? Sue? In the courts of a country they are not even a citizen of? Well, fuck you!

    9/10 sovereign citizens are victims. 1/10 are charlatans selling a fiction to those in dire need of a way out of legal trouble.

      I think more like 7/10 victims,1/10 scammers, and 2/10 people who are just obnoxious and oppositional and greedy. That’s my observation from looking at them so often…

      When an individual who is sort of weird and conspiratorial gets into this, I understand why, and the Moorish ones because they have sort of an organization or the American State National ones; there’s a loose organization of people there being suckered as a group. But when an individual average person finds their way to this, and they have just your average middle class family, I honestly wonder where this comes from. I discovered a friend of mine on Facebook had a friend in one of these groups and told her, and she was taken aback because she was just someone who she took a Photoshop class from that she met through her business network, and she has a business of her own and seems so normal. Those are the ones I don’t understand how they got there.
