I'm not a good person

[ripcord]

A friend sent me a link to a video of some sovereign citizen being stupid and telling cops he isn't driving as he pilots his car down the highway he is traveling since he isn't acting in a commercial capacity. He didn't have a driver's license and the car had a homemade license plate, they finally got tired of his refusal to identify himself so they could ticket him so they busted out his window and arrested him. I then followed the YouTube links and watched 12 more sovereign citizens get their windows busted out for stupidity, I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

1. Link?

I could use some laughter too!

4. This one is good

5. Gold Star Idiot!

The commentary was pretty funny too.

Can't lie. I skipped to the end where they busted his window. A person with a brain can only listen to that crap for so long.

Thanks for sharing.

17. "I've never agreed to your rules".

As soon as your "private vessel" hits the Florida highway you agree to follow their rules. What a dumbass.

And he's going to take him to "common law" court.

And his children had to witness their father demonstrating what a total jackass he is.

23. So what protects your "private property", dumbass?!

You don't acknowledge government, so I guess that means someone else could just break your jaw and take whatever they want! Don't expect a government agency to protect you or to seek justice, because you don't accept such things! Right?!

2. Link?

And how does this make you not a good person?

3. Sovereign citizen videos are generally pretty hilarious, and I don't feel bad about saying that.

I laugh my ass off watching those idiots get harassed by those dastardly road pirates. It really never gets old. If you really want a laugh, search for "Sovereign Citizen Bingo" on Youtube, then go right down that rabbit hole. Enjoy!

6. So after watching this it seems to me these people are anarchists right?

I've never even heard of this sovereign citizen thing before. But how can you be so stupid to think that just by saying these things that you won't get arrested?

I wish in the video that they had showed what happened after they broke the guy's window.

9. Oh, the sovereign citizen thing is a trip.

They have a whole "body of law" that they cite, thinking it exempts them from having to obey the law like normal people do. Their basic gig is, "I have all the privileges, rights, and freedoms, but none of the corresponding responsibilities." They use specific terminology, too. For instance, they don't drive, they "travel." It's some weird, weird shit.

I don't think I'd call them anarchists, since they're not in favor of having no overarching form of government. They just think government has no power over them.

Believe me, cops absolutely hate having to deal with sovereign citizens. That said, they also love arresting and charging them with anything and everything they can think of.

11. Not really.

They are citing actual law. It just doesn't apply to the situations they are trying to apply it to. So anarchists would simply reject the law. They are playing within the system as they believe the system works.

I've actually had to draft serious judicial opinions in response to appeals from these guys. It is way harder (and more time consuming) because you can't just say, "you have not cited any law to support your position." Since they are citing actual law, we have to meticulously explain why the law they are citing has nothing to do with what they are citing it for.

16. Depends on the anarchist

Arguably Hobbes was a philosophical anarchist, in that he acknowledged that our natural state is anarchy.

He just thought that was bad, and The Leviathan preferable, even when it grows tyrannical.

The Kropotkin-loving crowd? More communist than anarchist.

7. It's great when they start citing the UCC.

What the Uniform Commercial Code has to do with a speeding violation is beyond me.

My favorite is the woman who kept citing Article IV of the Articles of Confederation as authority that she was not bound by any laws. It was lost on her that the Article in question didn’t say that, and was superseded by the Constitution in any event.

8. I've gone down that rabbit hole too.

They are nuts

[lastlib]

20. They have refined stoopid to weapons-grade.

Now they're inventing the means to inflict it on the rest of us.

[NBachers]

10. Zero tolerance for these convoluted head cases.

[3catwoman3]

12. Sovereign citizens and libertarians bring to mind toddlers...

…and preschoolers who holler, “You’re not the boss of me!” About the same level of psychological development.

[albacore]

15. Libertarians....

want all the benefits of civilization and none of the costs and responsibilities.
Like conservatives, they are saying "I've got mine, and fuck you."
Somebody compared them to a barn-full of feral cats.

The sovereign citizens are all that... but with fewer teeth and much lower IQ.

13. I've always wondered, why the fake license plate?

Why not no license plate? God, these people are idiots.

[KentuckyWoman]

14. Ain't no goobermint gon tell me what to do.

If you don't want to get a tag and a driver license, then just stay off the public roads. easy peasy.

Dumbshits.

[GulfCoast66]

18. Good people appreciate bad people

Getting their come-Uppance. I’m hoping all the assholes that invaded the Capitol on January 6 go bankrupt. That actually puts a mark on the good side of my ledger of life.

You are good in my book.

19. Van Balion and Schrodinger's Cat have excellent anti-SC videos up

Schrodinger's Cat is turning more to First Amendment Auditor videos because the SC community seems to have transitioned from getting arrested for driving illegally to getting arrested for harassing people with video cameras.

21. Those morons all speak the same language

and they all drool significantly.

[onethatcares]

22. I can only imagine

the kids take on gramps,

Mom: How was your day?

Kids: It was really neat. Like watching one of those teevee picture things about the bad guys.

Mom: Oh, you saw the police arrest a bad guy?

Kids: No, we watched Grandpa get his window broke and his ass beat by the sheriff.

[Solomon]

24. Look how patient the cops are with this nonsense.

Wonder what else would be broke if he was a black guy?
