    Driver: Let’s just get some photos and swap information, ok?

    Traveler: Ok. [He hands over a traveler’s license in red ink on an index card.]

    Driver: [He glances at card, then paper plates, then traveler.] Ok actually I need to make a phone call.

      And then 10 seconds after they have established their weird magical victory, the cops come in and say actually JK you’re definitely going to jail now.

      It was good crazy Facebook content, so I thought it was Bones.

      Courtrooms have audience benches, but they constantly refuse to list which cases are sovcits.

      Also, they do frown on bringing your own booze.

      I’m still perplexed that there are people who don’t try to stop when they see the person ahead of them is stopped.

      Always give those a little love tap so they’ll learn to drivetravel with impunity. Can’t move mom’s automobile on a clogged road I don’t pay for after all.

    I always find it baffling why they think avoiding to state their name is somehow helpful. Do they believe that the court will just say “well, tell your mister NAME that he is guilty and has to go to prison once we actually find him” ?

      They unironically believe that the government has no power to enforce laws against real living breathing people and that they can only enforce laws against legal fictions. All they have to do is ensure their real person is always kept separate from their legal fiction and they don’t need to follow laws.

      To them, acknowledging your name (sometimes only your name in ALL CAPS) is the same as combining your real person with the legal fiction and must be avoided at all costs. In courts, they will only ever say they are representing a legal entity and will never acknowledge they are representing themselves as that is the same as combining the real with the fiction.

      None of this works because the base premise that the government can’t enforce laws against living breathing people is untrue.

        Or the fact that any organization big enough to run a country can effectively do whatever it wants so long as they don’t trigger a popular uprising.

      Essentially, sovcits don’t understand how the legal system works and think judges are bound by the sovcit’s personal interpretation of the literal text. They take this right down to the constitution and common law, ignoring precedent and case law.

    Sometimes I read these and laugh.
    Sometimes I read these and just feel so sorry for them.

    They need help and either don’t know how to ask for it, or just haven’t realised they need help yet.

    Like surely one of these guys has realised that this shit never works right? Like do the people that make up these incantations and stuff claim that when they tried the judge was like “ah dammit you found the loophole, you win the case and here’s $10,000 for being so smart” or something?

        We’ve talked about this before, but I suspect the ones that figure it out just quietly give up, and we don’t hear from them again.

      Sometimes it works for a little while. Like this is a great example. The person gets thrown out of court, and their problem is solved for a while. Eventually an arrest warrant will be issued, perhaps their car will be impounded if they get pulled over in the future. But that hasn’t happened yet.

      And there are situations where judges don’t want to waste time dealing with them, especially if it’s something minor like a Fix-It ticket. I’ve seen numerous videos where essentially the court staff realizes that their job is revenue generation, and spending hours and stays dealing with the sovereign citizens is not cost-effective.
