I don't know where this right "to travel" (in a car, etc.) originates. If they get some freedoms and movement rights provided by the United States, then it would follow that any time you step out of your property you would be subject to United States' rules in exchange of the provided freedoms.
From an article about sovcits in Car and Driver magazine:
"The website FreedomFromGovernment.org offers a sovereign-friendly explanation of the asserted right to travel that runs some 30,000 words long, including citations. Multiple attempts to contact Trent Goodbaudy, a writer who apparently runs the site, were unsuccessful. But the online store linked to the site sells a set of replacement license-plate tags proclaiming that the vehicle is private, traveling without commercial purpose, and not subject to insurance or licensing requirements. They cost C/D$39.95. No one in the office has volunteered to mount them to their vehicle."
So basically it's a crazy sovcit idea. It's honestly very hard to tell where some of their ideas come from because they're such a loosely associated group, and honestly I've discovered that if I give them some bogus advice repeatedly (I tell them they must use a certain kind of stamp) they believe it and it begins popping up in posts of their own accord. They truly are a game of telephone.
What happens if you try to pay for those fake license plate tags with those fake i.o.u. crap I've been reading about on this sub? Surely they must accept it, no?
You'd think!
