Aight, the judge should take his car because he was using it to commit commerce with Publix to buy butter!

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 49 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Even though the Sovcit was carrying a writ of mandamus to buy butter, the Sovcit bought margarine which was not covered by the writ. Classic rookie mistake. /s

Imagine the paperwork they’d submit for an exchange instead of a receipt

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

"Sir, this is a Publix. We don't accept 'negotiable instruments' in payment for groceries, only cash or card. You have put down a quarter, which is indeed cash, but you keep referring to it as '0.1808 troy ounces of silver'."

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Sui Juris

[–] ArtieShaw@fedia.io 2 points 6 months ago

I can't believe it's not mandamus.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 56 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"They got me on the way to get butter at the Publix" should be the official motto of this community.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Could be a sovcit country song, by the Winn-Dixie Chicks.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 45 points 6 months ago

Was that duty free butter? Of course not, Publix doesn't have a Customs agency, dork. You need to buy your groceries at an airport so you can say that you are travelling to a transportation center and using the roads as an easement, granting an unobstructed path. And police count as an obstruction. Just ignore them and only stop when you get to the property line of the airport. If you travel onto the tarmac, then only airport police can chase you and it will significantly reduce the amount of police who might confuse your rights if they try to detain you.

SovCits just don't know their rights. /S

UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION you say? Perhaps SovCit should try to convince the judge he wasn't wearing a uniform at the time, nor does his vessel constitutes a uniform.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I was not participating in traffic.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 19 points 6 months ago

I can't believe it's not registered!

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

These people are voting for representation. How can you be so tremendously stupid? HOW!?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I did have a FL Driver License on me, but I told them that I was not in the capacity of a driver or driving.

Does anyone else think this sounds like they quickly popped over to the passenger seat before arguing with a police officer?

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

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.)

[–] msfroh@lemmy.ca 15 points 6 months ago

Shoulda known better than to drive [Private] to Publix. That's how they get ya.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

You were not in capacity, or incapacitated shall we say

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 6 months ago

Surprised they didn’t tow the vehicle.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Shoulda conveyed, the laws cover traveling now

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Was sovcit's mom stuck somewhere?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

She was trying to pay for her house with a silver coin and the bank wouldn't listen.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 3 points 6 months ago

I was talking about the butter.
