Does anyone else think this sounds like they quickly popped over to the passenger seat before arguing with a police officer?
That’s what I was trying to figure out. He was pulled over while driving and then said he wasn’t driving, like..? Even for the sovcit community, that seems exceptionally stupid.
He was "traveling". That's their workaround for not needing to have a driver's license normally.
To an extent, they are right. Everyone has the right to travel freely. As in, a state is not allowed to restrict your ability to go from point A to point B. However, ~~wroth~~ with all things legal, it's subject to reasonable limitations. You can walk from A to B unless that causes you to cross a busy highway on foot. You can't drive around other taxpayers on taxpayer funded roads without a valid DL.
I feel like these guys are generally well intentioned, and I empathize with the broad strokes of what they’re going for. They just seem to always go about it in the most poorly thought out way possible.
Not sure how many of them are well intentioned. Seems like a lot of them are just looking for excuses to get away with not doing shit everyone else has to do.
I don't know if I'd consider it "well intentioned", but I sympathise with sovcits because actually there's a hell of a lot that regular people are expected to do but the rich and the powerful aren't: "rules for thee but not for me" energy. SovCits are silly for thinking that they can say some magic words to make the system's loopholes work for them, but I don't think they're too unreasonable for wishing that to be the case. I don't think their approach is productive, but I think that they at least are seeing and responding to the same injustice that motivates me and many in my community
I get to some extent where you are coming from. But there’s a reason we register cars and pay taxes for roads and stuff like that. (Yes the wealthy exploit this. And that is wrong. That needs to be fixed. But the concept of being part of a society is that we all contribute.)
