In their make believe world, is stealing from a sovcitizen a crime? Since "the law" doesn't apply and the cops "have no authority", it sure looks like they're walking around with "free loot"

First time I've seen anyone propose this, but I remember in a vid where a man referred to his child daughter as "property," so I think they have strong beliefs about this topic.
Could someone finally explain me what is sovereign citizen?
They are a loosely connected group of anti government right wing people who believe they don't have to pay taxes or have license plates or driver's licenses, and try to pay bills using magical paperwork. They are sincerely hilarious and the YouTube videos are a hell of a rabbit hole.
They try to use magic to become immune from the law.
Watch some youtube videos of these guys being pulled over. It's hilarious.
People who claim they are not a member of any country. They resent the fact they were born into a country and automatically considered a citizen of that country without their consent and then bound by their rule. They get told by grifters and other delusion people that through legal loopholes and long forgotten legal jargon they can excuse themselves from the rule of goverment.
There is something to be said for not getting to choose your birth country and yadda yadda. However, typically these people still benefit from infrastructure and protections provided by the government while refusing to be comply with the rules that come along with it IE taxes, regulations, rules.
Thanks
Taxes pay for roads. If you are a sovereign citizen, I don't see why you would be allowed to use or park on them.
They don't use or park on them.. they travel on them (or whatever bullshit they say).
But I can quote some obscure law or resolution or whatever the fuck that proves that maritime whatever whatever…!
"Sometimes your roads travel over water, therefore I am subject to Poseidons rule, not yours!"
This fake license plate is very aesthetically pleasing. Still don't use fake license plates...
You know the sad thing is, I bet a lot of cops don't pull them over because they know it's going to be a huge hassle for them.
Eh, on the other hand, some cops LOVE the fight.
And even though I hate cops I also don't blame them because cops have died at the hands of sovcits before. I really don't disagree.
No insurance required huh? Would be unfortunate if something were to happen their car.
Insurance isn't required for your car. It's required to drive for everyone else's car, and required for when the bank still owns your car, but not when it's yours.
To clarify, since you're getting down voted. You have to carry liability insurance in case you damage someone's property or harm someone with your car. If you crashed in to someone, your insurance would pay for the damages to the person and their car, but your own car would require you to pay out of pocket. You can also get insurance to cover your own car, (which is sometimes required on leased/financed vehicles) which would cover damage to your car in the case of an uninsured or underinsured driver, weather, vandalism and more. I'm sure this is what you meant, but you didn't say it in a way that made sense to a lot of people.
Is it? In Spain it’s mandatory to have it for any car.
Depends on the state
I'm pretty sure they don't have any insurance though.
…. we know how insurance works my dude. The comment was made in jest.
