    The term, "sovereign citizen" is an oxymoron. If they are sovereign, they are self governed, but if they are a citizen, then they are governed by others.

      From what I am seeing, from links and definitions, it isn't an oxymoron.
      I haven't found any definition of citizen that uses the words 'governed by', but rather as either 'belonging to' or 'participating in', so a Sovereign Citizen can be described as a 'Self-governing individual who participates in sovereignty' making it more redundant than oxymoronic.
      Claiming to be separate from the law is still a huge problem, so I am not defending this movement.

    The clean cells thing is real. 11 years ago when I was 22 I was arrested in Brooklyn for a dime bag of weed and locked up by the 83rd precinct. They stole all my cash, my cigarettes, and my groceries, and put my in an 8x10 cell with about 12 other guys. More than half the cell was covered with days old sticky soda and old McDonald's bags that were literally rotting. We also had a guy who claimed to be an organ donor recipient who needed medication as to not suffer rejection and die. In my 12 hours in local lockup before being transferred to Central he was ignored the whole time. I still wonder about him and hope he's ok. Several hours after I was locked up, a guy I had never seen before (apparently the "middleman" I got the dime from bought from this guy, pretty sure the middleman was an informant) was brought in. The cops pointed at me, a skinny white boy, and said "he's the reason you're here". The other guys had to pull him off of me after the cops left and did nothing to stop the subsequent assault. Cops wonder why people hate them. An ounce of basic humanity goes a long way. I was dehumanized for less weed than goes into a skinny joint, all while I was polite, respectful, and obedient. If any cops are reading this, remember that everyone is a human being, and it just takes one experience like this for someone to distrust cops for life. I will never ever stop being afraid of police, even as someone in their 30s who no longer smokes or does anything remotely illegal.

      I too was shocked by its use by adults. While it is a good parry to instruction during the childhood years, I thought that the ability to use the expression is locked after a certain age. I certainly haven't seen my peers use this defense since my youth. However, it is in poor taste to make such a move when adults have such a wider range of attacks and defenses. I say this as a professional word fencer.

    My friend, a younger dude, one asked me what I thought about the whole thing. I replied that the implications would be him on the soil of another sovereign nation and would therefore have to contend with the border control and armed forces of said soil in order to assert his autonomy. Because that's how states/nations deal with each other... He also asked me what I thought about the earth being flat.... I worry about him. This was in the UK btw.

    First and only encounter with a sovereign citizen was when I called one to get a zip code. I was trying to mail him a record he had requested but there was no zip code. When parts of an address are left off we're supposed to verify with a customer, even if we could easily look up a zip code on line. This is to prevent a customer from going off on us if the mail never arrives or whatever. So, I let him know where I am calling from and ask him for the zip code, and instead of telling me, he begins this 20 minute spiel beginning with asking me if I am going to discriminate against him. I have no idea what he's talking about, all I want is a zip code, little did I know that zip codes are against his religion. He then tells me how zip codes came into existence blah blah blah, and also corrected me because I called him "sir". I thought he would never shut up, and in the end, all he needed to tell me was he didn't have a zip code but the mail would still get to him, because he's gotten mail there before without a zip code. After finally hanging up with him I told my co-workers about this lunatic who wouldn't tell me his idiot zip code and ranted for way to long about how the record was not his record, but was a record that the state kept on him and this crap about the origins of zip codes and a basic encyclopedia of crazy, and that's how I learned what a sovereign citizen was, and I was so very not impressed.

    So these people don't want to be part of the united states, but they seem to forget two things:
    First it doesn't matter if you don't live somewhere, if you commit a crime then that crime falls under their jurisdiction and you will be tried under their court of law, if I go to china, india, the middle east, anywhere that isn't the US, it doesn't matter if i'm not a citizen, if I commit a crime I will be tried under their court,
    The second is while yes you theoretically wouldn't have to pay taxes, ect. you also theoretically wouldn't qualify for things like medical aid, the fire department, the police, ect. which they seem to conveniently forget.

He ignored that and kept recording and even tried going into our employee lounge, so I told him to gtfo and he ignored me so I snatched his phone from him and threw it outside and locked him out. He called the cops and when they arrived I just showed them the footage from our camera and the cops got on me for throwing his phone until they asked him to leave and he refused then they quickly understood the mental gymnastics of our opponent. Also he's fighting the RO so I have a court date.

      Actually I think it’s going to die the same way the USSR did (ironically).
      It’s going to get too arrogant and think everything it does is correct (look at it’s views on guns and healthcare for examples) and this is going to lead to stagnation compared with other powers that will change and evolve.
      Eventually the world will shift towards those more humble powers as they are willing to use more modern technology or more modern socially.
      This will result in the USA becoming more and more irrelevant and eventually becoming what Russia was in the late 1990s.
      I’d argue the US would stay united (as Britain has through thick and thin and it doesn’t have a nationalism problem like the USSR did) but it will be like Russia.

      Two problems with that: sanitation and preservation.
      Signing with blood presents a risk of blood-borne disease propagation and is therefore unsanitary. Those documents go through many hands.
      Blood decays and the DNA degrades after a certain time, thus the document can no longer be asserted to have been signed by the individual. There's the fingerprint, but if you were going to use that then ink works better. You could get around this one by taking a sample for preservation, but reserving cold-storage for DNA samples for every single signed document in the USA sounds like it'd be prohibitively expensive.
      So, cool idea, metal as fuck, but not practical.
