                I think it was far north? White woman, had the “private” plates and everything.

                There was also a Maori lady in Auckland who was refusing to pay her rates, saying Auckland council didn’t have jurisdiction or something.

                That was our very own flavour of SovCit.

                  I mean the Maori one is probably going on about joint governance, which is in some ways correct.

                  Still got to pay your rates though - it is the same government.

            Oh I just want to buy one of these with magic letters written in red ink at 45 degrees with some magic words and a thumb print. My bills are safe, I like having a credit score where I can rent. And buy things.

      Lol “the open roads in America”.

      They’re not naturally occuring. Someone owns them (whether private or state) and to use their property, you have to respect their terms. Else I could just walk in your house and start using your kitchen, “It’s cool, I’m sovereign so your rules don’t apply to me.”

      This guy’s gotta be an M.D. at least. Or a card-carrying member of MENSA. But, like, sovcit MD and sovcit MENSA. So…neither.
