    It happens, for sure. I had an acquaintance who was a cop say that she didn’t feel like dragging the dude out of his car that day, so she wrote a ticket, wrote ‘refused to sign’ on it, and threw it in the truck bed.

    My personal opinion on whether she acted like that every time an arrest would have had to get physical aside, I bet the next officer who dealt with the dude when he had a warrant for failing to appear at court had to get physical. Just delaying the inevitable.

      Ive commented about that before, If I were a cop and saw the “sovcit” plates on a car I would definitely have to take a moment to consider if I have the patience to deal with their bullshit today.

        The only remedy for this is for real citizens to go full vigilante on their arse. Sovereign Citizen plates on are car are a request to have your tyres slashed.

        Honestly, I have more respect for a criminal who doesn’t have plates, or has stolen plates because at least they admit that they are breaking the rules.

        SovCit idiots are just fucking idiots who think that the laws do not legally apply to them.
