I was behind a huge redneck truck today that had a "plate" on the back saying essentially this, yet he had a "thin blue line" sticker on his back window. You just can't make this shit up.

Some of them believe that sticker (used to be the policeman's ball sticker, but I didn't put it together until recently) will make cops ignore them.
IIRC one of those stickers, maybe policeman’s ball, was only available to cops and so you had to know one to get the sticker, and maybe then they’d identify “friends of the department” that way and go easy. Not a law or official policy, though.
And yeah I doubt thin blue line does much.
Yeah, you had to buy tickets to the ball which meant you were financially supporting them. And they were probably more right than I want to admit for those stickers but less right than they believe for the thin blue line ones.
You saw a sovcit!
I am baffled by how this "movement" never seems to be running out of gullible people to attempt doing this. Because you know whoever tries it never lasts very long before they get a reality check. How much longer can it last before they run out?
It's because the do your research crowd never post things that go against their bias.
It’s a puzzle, because they’ve been doing this shit for decades
This has been happening since the 70s but stuff like Facebook definitely inflated it. It seems much worse since the days of Trump as everyone on the right has become certifiable. This is what disinformation does.
They aren't really gullible. If you watch the youtube videos, it's pretty much always people that already had their licenses revoked, sometimes permanently. They're just trying to convince themselves there's some way to legally drive again.
And He said "Let there be motor vehicles".
Fucking troglodyte.
And are they all being driven on private roads?
Absolutely not.
They argue the definition of the word "drive" so you can't use that. I'm not certain where their definition comes from, but they argue that "driving" is only for commerce. So that's why they always say they are "traveling". So they don't need a driver's license because that is only for someone using a vehicle for business. From all I've seen, this typically results mostly in fines and court appearances. The fines they refuse to pay and they claim they can't "appear" somewhere.
"no driver license or insurance required"
dude this has less legitimacy than a note from your mom.
I wonder how that new truck was paid for.
when they post pics of the repo man towing it, you'll have your answer
They charged it to the secret fund the government set up in their fake name, then posted about their success on Facebook. later haters
I should have gone into the fake license plate business. Free money, man.
Not too late!
One of those unique business opportunities that provides both actual work experience as well as the reason for their future work behind bars
If you're going to claim something is an inalienable right, learn that "inalienable" is the word you are supposed to use.
But it was grated by their creator!
That guy grates
Hate to defend a sovcit, but "unalienable" is a valid synonym of inalienable and was used in the Declaration of Independence
Grated.
Blased.
Unalienable was a popular word at the time but less so now: https://www.dictionary.com/e/unalienable-vs-inalienable/
Regardless, it was more of an address of the hyphen.
Hate to defend a sovcit
Why? They showed ignorance on the same or contextually even worse level, while pushing some sort of "gotcha" moment.
Them fail English? That's unpossible!
Dang it someone already has the personalized state plate for "PRIVATE" here.
You found the guy who manufactures the sovcit plates! Lol
Ready to install my argue-with-cops device.
Ok, this one is so stupid I'm now convinced that these sovcit people actually want to get arrested... They're probably bored and dream of the day they get to create an embarrassing scene and then drag everything out in court to embarrass themselves further just because it's something to do and everyone will have to pay attention to them for a little while
At what point do we just go ahead and start calling this a mental illness?
It's more fun to be a sovereign citizen but ironically pay taxes and engage in democracy
This wouldn't make it back from McAllen, Tx without getting swooped by CBP
