Ah, I see the problem here. He's using common law sovereign citizen tactics, when he actually needs to use Napoleonic code citoyen souverain
How could he be so thoughtless?
Every time I'm astounded at the hot-garbage blend of thinking that reduces to: "here are some pseudo-legal and actually legal measures I'm using to assert that your laws don't apply to me."
One of the sovcit court transcripts had a guy who refused to answer to his given name and insisted on being called Freedom Rings. Like are you seriously going to expect a judge to call you that lol.
To be fair, naming yourself is possibly the only concept consistent with the whole sovcit "I'm my own person", uh, "philosophy." The rest just seems like wishy-washy nonsense to me. But yeah, that probably didn't go over well.
One of them demanded at his trial that the judge address him as Freedom Rings lol.
Do you want a bench warrant?
Because this is how you get a bench warrant.
I’m impressed they went to the trouble of hiring a notary to prove they really signed this nonsense.
I wonder how many notaries are kept in business because of sovereign citizens?
I see you've assumed that it is a legitimate notary stamp... Your optimism is admirable
Notaries just must laugh all the way to the bank when a sovcit turns up to use their service.
Do they actually pay in something valuable for notaries?
I think they must. Which is weird because these are people who try to get out of using stamps.
They'd need to get a notary for the notary to pay in their made up Monopoly money, then a notary for the notary for the notary, and so on and so forth. Less of a hassle to use real money just this once.
Fit? If I were a notary I’d absolutely be ad-bombing sovcit circles
45° writing, red thumb print, blue wax, stamps and a signature. All the hallmarks of a perfectly cast "Noticketo Nomo" spell and still it persists. Whatever could they have done wrong?
Part of me wants to do some post-modern fictional world-building around this. Like the intersection of Constantine and The Office. A world where "magic" is just really bureaucratic metaphysics, complete with the occasional stovepipe or string to pull.
Sprinkle in some Dark City as well.
It’s “Noticketo NOmo”, not “NoticketOH noMO”.
NoHomo
Just eyeballing it but it seems he wrote at 43°, I'm assuming the court clerk had a protractor to hand and wasn't willing to overlook that horrible faux pas
Such a rookie mistake
