It's fun to laugh at sovcits and I know we're dealing with unreliable narrators, but I think there's some legitimacy to this person's objections about their treatment by police. Trying to seize the gun in TX is a big one to me.
It's been a long time since I had to deal with texas laws about firearms, but I think there is a clause about having a handgun/firearm while in commission of another crime. Yup, here's the relevant one. Then there's the plate one which is what triggers that 'other than... Class C' part of the first one, since having a fictitious plate is a Class B.
So basically, the seizure they're doing is legal, although as we all know, *cough cough*, legal ain't always right.
I don't disagree that credit is a joke of a system, that people should be treated poorly by police or anything, but still they're pretty bonkers and also dangerous. One killed a cop in Dallas a couple of months ago.
It's an interesting intersection between a sense of entitlement, thinking legalese is like magic spells where if you use the right words you get what you want, and police/government overreach plus late stage capitalism making people think they need something like that to get what they feel they are entitled to.
I am someone who politically thinks all our needs should be met because we pay taxes. My motto is give everybody everything, to quote the poet Bernadette Meyer. But sovcits just have very strange ideas.
It's almost always people who have lost their license due to multiple DUIs.
