Sovereign citizens always try to talk their way out of trouble, but these officers have heard it all before. Here are five cases when sovereign citizens get reality checked by no-nonsense cops. Number five. Cops pull over unlicensed driver and it all goes downhill. Police pull over a car and immediately ask the driver to step out during a traffic stop. The driver pushes back asking to speak to a supervisor and hesitating to get out. Here's how it plays out. Go ahead and step out of the vehicle for Under Pennsylvania V Man's I'm requesting you step out of the vehicle, okay? Pennsylvania V Man's case law that dictates that I'm allowed to have you step out of the vehicle, okay? So, I'm going to ask you one more time politely to step out of the vehicle, okay? I would like to speak to your supervisor. Is there a sergeant >> Sergeant's right here. Fantastic. Step out, okay? Okay, don't don't step Step out. I'm asking you Step out. Step out. Step out.

Sergeant's right here. You got You're going to tell me why I'm being arrested? Like Brett, seriously? You're being arrested and detained. Oh, come on. You're now being arrested for resisting. No. No, listen. I'm not resisting. I'm But, why? Um, I'm confused. Huh? What have I done? I'm going to step back over here. Step back over here. He argues he wasn't resisting and claims he just needed answers. The officers remind him that ignoring commands during a stop is enough reason for them to act. Is that what he asked for when he asked for the registration and Yeah. I wasn't resisting. I really just kind of wanted some clarification. I don't know, it kind of makes sense. Makes sense to me. He said he travels without a license. That would be only that we poke seeking any weapons, any knives, guns Anything like that? Oh, god, no. Has he not identified himself yet? He's identified himself. Under duress. Correct. Correct, cuz you're required to identify yourself in a traffic stop. Correct. That's just what the statute That's Do you want her to get this? Um, yes, please. Are you from here? Yes. I grew up Yeah, I grew up here. What's your name? Phoebe. Phoebe? Brett. Brett Phoebe? Mm, what did you want to do? When pressed further, they discover that he's been through this before, having been arrested for the same problem in the past. You've been arrested before? Uh, yeah. Same thing? Um Yeah, same thing. I mean driving mis- confusion. I mean I don't need Well Well, I mean driving isn't a Well, it's a commercial endeavor. I'm I'm not out here in commerce. I'm not making money, you know, taking my wife to the store, getting something to eat. I'm just going up there. Traveling up there in my private conveyance. On our public roads. Well, there's I mean, you're allowed to travel privately on the on the roads. Absolutely. >> you have a driver's license to do so. Well, I mean Only if I'm involved in commerce. I'm not involved in commerce. >> Listen, I'm allowed On your own private property, you can drive. This is not your property. >> There is a private easement on every road. Incorrect. So As far as it goes, you're being placed under arrest This evening for resisting without violence and for And for driving with Yeah, correct. No, I do not. Okay, what part don't you understand? Um all of it. Okay, well, we'll I'll I'll explain it a little bit further while we drive you down to the jail. So, we'll get that part explained. Just walk to the side. We're going to walk to the max and then we have to Okay. Not valid. And he said he's married. Yeah. Uh, she That's what she's saying. Are you legally married? Yes. Yes. He's making a racial slur. Okay. Well, he is being arrested, so he's uh Like I said conduct of traffic stop and driving and he also resisted us right here in front of me. So, he's being taken to jail for that. You need to find arrangements for this vehicle. Start calling around till she can come get you and the vehicle. Back at the car, his wife is left trying to figure out what to do with the vehicle. It hasn't been registered in over 2 years and they've taken the keys out, so now the tow truck will have to drag it. Otherwise, we're going to have to tow you. How would you tow her? I'm just going to I'm just going This thing looks like It's expired 2 years ago. What's your name? Phoebe. Phoebe Brett? Yeah, so I They passed us. I pulled them over and took Immediately turned on No, it's just This is the same people that showed up to the house with me. She's clearly stressed talking about the cost of towing and the extra money it'll take to bail him out. Right, but the next step for me is to be able to drive the car. I won't be able to pay all these fees to get the car running, which is why it's not anyway, because of how much it cost. And then you're just going to tack another $700 on by towing my car. Plus whatever it's going to take for me to bail him out. She getting home? Yeah, she's she's calling somebody. And please don't tow me over a hill. I think she's going to try to lock the car. She's going to try to lock the car. Okay, that's it. In the end, the man is arrested for resisting without violence and driving without a valid license. The car is impounded. Number four. Defiant driver learns why cops don't play games. A woman is pulled over by a police officer and immediately makes it clear she identifies as a sovereign citizen. Let's see how that plays out for her. Sorry? [Music] You do not consent, you do not wish to contract with me, and you don't answer questions. All right, turn your vehicle off for me. Can I get 94? I got a sovereign citizen. Turn your vehicle off for me. 10-4. Ma'am, can you turn your vehicle off for me? All right, listen to me. I know you don't answer questions, but you're going to listen to what I'm going to say. If you don't open the vehicle door and you step out, and you turn the vehicle off, I'm going to break the window, and I'm going to take you out of the vehicle, and I'm going to take you under arrest. Okay, you understand that if you don't comply with what I'm saying, you are going to go under arrest. Yeah, 10-4. Like I said, 10-4. All right, one more chance. All right, I'm going to have her 10-15. I need 94 because she closed the windows. I'm going to have to break the window. [Music] I understand that. It's a female driver telling me that, and I'm going to break the window and take her under arrest. Step out of the vehicle. Step out of the vehicle. I'm not going to kidnap you. Listen to me. Listen to me, ma'am. You're going about You're going about this the wrong way. You're just going to get a citation. You're about to go to jail for resisting. You understand? So, step out of the vehicle. The officer tries several times to get her to cooperate, warning her that continued non-compliance will lead to her arrest. Despite this, she repeats the same lines. Ma'am, I don't want to use force against you. Ma'am, I don't want to use force against you. You understand that, right? Ma'am, okay. Turn your vehicle off, ma'am. Open your vehicle door. Open your vehicle door. Step out of the vehicle. I'm breaking the window. Open the vehicle door. You are under arrest. At this point, you have no say. Open the vehicle door. Open the vehicle door. You're under arrest for resisting. Step out of the vehicle, ma'am. You are under arrest for resisting. Step out of the vehicle, ma'am. Step out of the vehicle. Step out of the vehicle. Step out. Step out of the vehicle. Yeah, break it. Step out of the vehicle. After several warnings, the officer finally succeeds in removing her from the vehicle. Step out of the vehicle or you're going to get tased. Step out of the vehicle. Step out of the vehicle. I don't want to hurt you. Step out of the vehicle and do what I say. Step out of the vehicle. Get behind your back. Behind your back. Hands behind your back. You want to play games? Now you're under arrest. Yeah, that's fine. Simple. You should have just complied. All right, ma'am.

If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, one will be appointed to represent you in all courts before and during questioning if you wish. You can decide at any time to exercise rights and not answer any questions or make any statements. Do you understand each of these rights that I explained to you? The officer reads her rights and arranges for medical personnel to check on her minor injuries from the forced removal. All right. Got rescue coming to check your cuts. Then after that, going to jail. Unreal. All she was going to get was a citation. I got several charges. I got resisting, I got failure to comply with law enforcement, plus several citations. Thank you, guys. Yeah, no worries. Yeah, I know you're good. It escalated. I didn't want it to escalate that quick, but she didn't give me any choice, and I couldn't see inside the car, so I was, you know, yeah, I know. Like, I don't That's the three things that she told me. I'm like, you know, give me your license and whatever. All right. Stay in the car and leave the traffic stop, please. I'm going to back up 25 ft for her. We're not We don't have to talk. Just go home. What? Nobody gave you permission to search that vehicle. Don't worry about it. Get out of the scene. That's fine.

Hey, your vehicle has a seized tag order. Your vehicle has a seized tag order from the state. So, since you're present and you're the registered owner, I'm taking your tag. Just letting you know. In the end, multiple charges are filed, including resisting arrest and failure to comply. Number three. Sovereign citizen argues with police like he's the boss. An officer conducts a traffic stop after spotting a vehicle without a visible tag. The driver immediately becomes defensive and claims he's being stopped unfairly. Well, you're not worried about your safety. I am worried about my safety. >> a routine. I'm asking you why you're not Okay. Well, what are you doing? Well, what are you doing?

So, I'm trying to explain to him Anyways, I came into contact um Holy He was He was tailing me on Fisk, and I was like, why is this car tailing me? So, I pulled over. >> Tailing? No, what happened, ma'am, is she busted an illegal U-turn. So, whenever she stopped, she detained me. I just detained him cuz he was getting aggressive with me. >> Getting aggressive? Look at the body cam footage. Getting aggressive? What are you talking about? You a lying little Listen. You don't need to speak like that. First amendment, ma'am. Okay, so look, this is what happened, okay? There's no tag on the car. I was coming No, there's no tag on my vehicle. I was coming car registered? Oh, yeah, it is. I was coming down the road. Okay, well, you asked what happened, right? Well, I'm asking where the tag is. But you asked what happened, right? You asked her what happened initially, right? >> Okay. So, I'm going to tell you what happened initially, okay? Go ahead. Okay. So, I was coming down the road there. I viewed this officer bust an illegal U-turn. No turn signals, no nothing. We going to get that dash cam footage as well. So, whenever she pulled into the parking lot there, I pulled in behind her to ask her for a name and badge number so I could go and put in a complaint against her for breaking the law. You can't do an illegal U-turn. You weren't going to no You weren't going to no call. I was actually That's why I was behind her going to see if she was going to a call. She wasn't going to a call. She pulled into that parking lot right there and sat there. So, I pulled >> I didn't sit there. I pulled in because you were tailing me. So, I pulled it cuz you just busted an illegal It wasn't illegal. Yeah, it was. Don't So, don't argue with her. So, I stopped So, I stopped whenever she pulled in to ask her for a name and badge number so I could go down to the station and put in a complaint form on her. Plain and simple. She asked me, "Well, can I help you?" He refuses to provide identification claiming he hasn't committed a crime. He flat out refuses to provide ID claiming he's done nothing wrong. He challenges the officer's authority, calls for a supervisor, and keeps pressing to know what law he broke. Okay. What What is your name? Oh, why do I have to give that for? You're being detained. I need your name. For what crime? Okay, she has stopped you now for tailing her. For a traffic infraction, right? >> And you have to identify yourself. What is your name? >> For a crime What crime? Okay, for one, you don't have a tag on your vehicle. So, it's a traffic infraction, right? Okay, if you have to have a tag on the vehicle. Okay? It's a traffic infraction. >> your name? Are Are you refusing to give your name? I'm not under under threat under under what? Threat of arrest? I'm I'm asking Are you refusing to give your name? Under threat of arrest? Okay. Well, listen, we're we're not going to play this game with you. >> playing no game. I'm asking you a simple question. >> Where's the tag to the vehicle? >> Under threat of arrest? Oh, the tag uh I have no clue. Go ahead and Go ahead and take him. You got anything on your smoking else cuz I got to look through that. For what? Cuz I'm searching you. You got any money, dude? No weapons, nothing like that. Nothing's going to stick me, stab me, poke me? Nope. Okay. Okay. So, where were you going to after you busted an illegal U-turn? Well, I was on my way to a call on Bart and that I was going to go to, but then another unit got there before me, so I didn't have to go to that. And then you were tailing me, so I pulled over to get out of your way. Yeah. So, that's why you busted the illegal U-turn? >> It wasn't illegal. I'm not going to argue with you on it. What? Lights have to be initiated for you to be able to get around those laws. Yeah. I don't know what you're talking about and neither do you. Okay. And that's unfortunate. He argues that the car is registered putting the fault on the DMV for not issuing a tag. I have piercing. These are reading glasses. Prescription. Yeah, prescription glasses. You don't need to keep So, I'm being arrested? Yes. For? You didn't identify yourself. And the reason why she pulled you over is for the light. No, no, no, no, no. I clearly said Yeah, I'm under threat of arrest and my The reason why The reason why she pulled you over is for the light. Uh because I got behind her and asked her uh her name and her badge number, then I went to pull out, and then she stopped me because I said I have no tag. Is the tag in the car? Okay. In what state is that allowed? No state, right? You can't do that. What am I supposed to do? Get a tag. How? So, the car needs to be on the road? What do you mean? Uh this Who is it? You registered? What? The state of Florida. The DMV. It I cannot do anything. Why? It doesn't make any sense. What do you mean it doesn't make Have you a vehicle I own that has a tag on it? Yeah, well, Any other vehicle on the road with no tag on it? I don't have a tag on the vehicle, man. I don't have the title for it. You can't have a car on the road with no tag. Yeah, I can't because it's it's My vehicle's 100% registered. I had multiple temp tags. This one, I don't know where it went. Okay, you still got no tag on the car. Huh? You still got no tag. You still got no tag. How do you How do you get another tag when the DMV only gives you two temp tags? That's between you and the DMV and whoever you bought the car from. But you have to have a tag in Florida, right? But you have to have a tag on the vehicle in Florida. You can't just drive it around. If they won't print me another one, then what do you do? That's between you and them. But it's not legal to be on the road with no tag. Registered, that's fine. You can have your car registered all day long, but you have to have a tag affixed to the back of your vehicle, right? Right. You see any other car without a tag on it? And if they don't, then we address it accordingly just like we do with this. Even after a supervisor arrives, he keeps arguing questioning the legitimacy of the stop. Despite his protest, officers proceed with a routine search and maintain control of the situation. And then my lieutenant asked you for your name. Yeah, and I asked her Yeah, I'm under threat of arrest. Are you Are you asking for my information? And she said, "Oh, just take him." She asked you multiple times for your name. And I And I said, "Under threat of arrest?" Under threat of arrest? Under threat of arrest? Does that answer your question? What? That I asked her under threat of arrest I have to give my information? Yeah, she asked me for my information and My phone, if you would I do not consent to any searches or seizures of my property. Okay. You got to bend You got to bend over so I can see that the key hole. That's what I was doing before you said I was resisting. You got to bend over and that's not what I said you would be in resist. Don't Don't try to hold my hand. >> I'm not holding your hand, lady. You can now go ahead and All right. Yeah, yeah, I turned that off, huh? What? I didn't touch your phone. I just cleared it from there. No, you never touched your phone. I just put it in the back. It's off, so. Oh, yeah, no, I never touched I just threw it in the back. That was it. No? All right. Nope. You do not consent to any searches or seizures of my property. No inventory, no nothing. Man, she said I failed to properly stop. Come on now. Y'all got to get your story straight. >> she pulled you over for a tag, I believe, right? Yeah, well, she just said failed to prop uh failed to properly stop. Huh? So, y'all got to get y'all story straight, bro. Ultimately, he's arrested for failing to comply with a lawful order and not having a valid license plate displayed. He's also cited for resisting and obstructing during the stop. Number two, when sovereign citizen logic collides with the law. An officer pulls over a driver after she runs a stop sign. From the start, the woman claims she's a state national and not required to follow standard traffic laws. Here's what happens next. Good morning. Officer Langlois of the Naples Police Department. The reason I'm stopping you is failure to come to a complete stop at the stop sign. Of course I did. I'm sorry. It's okay. Can I see your license and registration? I no longer use a license.

Officer has no patience for sovereign citizen nonsense. A police officer stops a Jeep Grand Cherokee after a license plate scan shows the driver has a suspended license.

I PROMISE YOU WELL, DUDE, IF YOU LISTENED the first time, we wouldn't have to be here. Nothing. Yes, you were, bro. You don't listen. Yeah, it's on for all this, bro. So, you're You're not helping.

YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS. I'M GOING TO SPEAK with him. TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON. OKAY. OKAY. I PULLED I SAID, WE CAN RUN YOUR WE CAN BUT LISTEN, YOU CANNOT HE CONTINUES TO insist he hasn't broken any traffic laws and argues that he was pulled over illegally. We can run your plate. I GOT IT. IT'S IF YOU CAN'T I DID NOT LISTEN. I DID NOT DISOBEY NO No traffic what's his name. I get that. You're not listening to me. I I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAID. I KNOW MY RIGHTS. I KNOW MY RIGHTS. LISTEN. I KNOW THIS GUY YES, HE IS. YOU CANNOT TAKE ME OUT OF MY CAR. I CALLED FOR A SERGEANT. I SAID, "CAN YOU GIVE ME A SUPERIOR?" I said, "CAN YOU GIVE ME NO, HE PULLED ME OUT OF MY CAR. NO, I AIN'T GETTING NO SUPERIOR. HE PULLS ME OUT OF MY CAR. START OPENING MY DOOR. THEN HE STEPPED BACK AND ABOUT TO SPRAY ME. SIR, YOU CANNOT DO THAT TO ME. OKAY. IF YOU WANT IF YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM ME, I'M GETTING OUT THE CAR. THEN HE SAID HE GOING TO SPRAY ME. I'M LIKE, "BRO, WHY YOU GOING TO SPRAY ME?" LOOK AT ME, HE JUST STARTED TREATING ME ALL CRAZY, MAN. AND I THAT'S THE ONLY REASON WHY I'M MAD. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PULL ME OUT OF MY CAR. EVERYTHING HE DID WAS TOTALLY ILLEGAL. TOTALLY ILLEGAL. THAT WAS ILLEGAL. HE PULLED ME OUT OF MY CAR RIGHT THERE. HE WENT INSIDE. HE HE He took his hand and went inside of my car and opened MY DOOR AND STARTED PULLING ME OUT OF MY CAR. HE PUT HIS LIGHTS ON BACK THERE. BACK BY THE MALL. Why did Why did it That's why he's doing this. It's because he's a coward. I said I was going to pull into a residential area. I didn't want to pull it over over on the highway. I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING OFF IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN it said Morris time. BUT WHEN I GOT ON THE HIGHWAY, I SAW IT WASN'T, I PULLED OVER. I SAID, "OKAY, I ain't going to go too far cuz I don't want to make it SEEM LIKE THEY'RE CHASING ME." SO, WHEN HE GOT RIGHT HERE, I SAID, "OKAY, YO, JUST CALL THE SUPERIOR." I SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU PULLING ME OVER FOR?" I'M NOT I'M I DIDN'T IT WASN'T LIKE I SPEEDED. IT WASN'T like I was speeding, taking a high-speed chase. I was going about 25 mph. So, and when I pulled over, HE OPENED THE DOOR >> GRABBING ME OUT FOR WHAT? MY CAR NOT COMING BACK REPORTED STOLEN. OKAY, YOU MAY SAY I'M DRIVING ON SUSPENDED LICENSE. OKAY, YEAH, I'M GIVING UP MY RIGHT AS a living being. I'M GOING AS SOVEREIGN. All my paperwork has been done. I don't need no license, registration, no no plates. They told me to take MY PLATES OFF. SO, THAT THE CAR TOLD ME TO TAKE THE PLATES OFF. I GOT A a loan you know a loan you know title to my car. I don't need to You need to have it registered. >> Yeah, no you don't. Whatever they told you was a lie. He explains that his suspended license and expired registration are part of a process to reclaim his rights. He quotes legal cases and insists the police have no authority over him. I'm explaining to you New Jersey title code says you need to have a license and a registered vehicle with a license. It's so the Supreme Court is the supreme law of the land. We're not going to get into that. I understand all that, but I I went through it. So, you know what? He shouldn't have ever did what he did pulling me out my car. I WASN'T IN NO HIGH SPEED CHASE. I understand. But, when it takes you when it takes you almost a mile to No, it wasn't a mile. I just turned Half mile whatever. It wasn't even a half mile. I turned off right there. By the highway, right? Yeah, on the ramp. I wasn't even I ain't even a thousand feet. PROBABLY A THOUSAND feet away. But, for him to go in my car and pull me out my car, I am suing you, bro. HE START MUSHING IN MY FACE TALKING ABOUT TURN AROUND. WHY YOU GOT YOUR HANDS IN MY FACE, MAN? I'M NOT SPITTING, BRO. I'M TALKING THIS WAY. HE'S GOT HIS HANDS IN MY FACE. I AM SUING THE [ __ ] OUT OF Y'ALL, BRO. I'm suing the Y'all SHOULD HAVE SAW WHAT HE DOING TO ME. HE DRAGGED ME OUT MY CAR, MAN. NO. He's sitting in the back of the car. THIS GUY'S THIS GUY'S THIS GUY'S NASTY. PLEASE, SOMEBODY PLEASE, SOMEBODY GIVE ME ANOTHER OFFICER, MAN. PLEASE. SIT IN THE CAR. SIT IN THE CAR. Everything's being recorded. You got another camera right in front of you. I don't care, man. YOU YOU WAS TOTALLY DISRESPECTFUL, MAN. You was totally disrespectful. Who started screaming from the beginning? YOU YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE PULLED ME OUT MY CAR. WHO STARTED WHO STARTED screaming from the beginning? You shouldn't HAVE CAR. OKAY. DUDE, MAN. MATOS should have apparently Matos pulled him over? Yeah, I like for I guess he lit him up. And he didn't stop until here. So, I guess Matos can walk in and got all hot because he didn't stop for whatever a mile. Okay. So, he tried to pull him out and the guy started resisting. I'm going to talk to Matos. That's fine. This is open like this? Yeah, after he pulled him out. What are you trying to Come out cuz he didn't stop? No, well, not because of that. Like that'd be silly. I came around this side and I I said, "All right, sir." So, and he went off that. "You I'm not stopping. I'm not doing none of this. I'm not even I'm spitting. You didn't pull me over for no [ __ ] reason." So, I screamed at him right from the beginning. I said, "I'm not doing I'm not giving you nothing." I was like, "Okay, then get out of the car." Inside the cop car, he continues to argue and accuses officers of entering his vehicle unlawfully. No, it wasn't. Yeah, you're good, bro. No, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So, then I told him to get out. He don't want to get out. He started spitting everywhere. [Applause] No, he's spitting towards us. He's spitting like towards her, too. That's why he's TURNING YOU NICE. >> ALL RIGHT, LISTEN. LISTEN. WHAT'S WHAT'S YOUR WHAT'S YOUR FIRST NAME? My name is Deshawn Wiggins. >> Deshawn Wiggins, all right. Yes, my ID and all my my license and all that stuff right there, man. >> Listen. So, here's what's going on. He's saying that the boss is on the way, by the way. I called him. He said He's saying that you didn't want to give him any paperwork. Like license, registration, any of that stuff. >> when he pulled he pulled over. I said, "What are you pulling me over for?" I have the right to ask Correct. And he has the right to tell you. Yes. He said he said I I said, "Can I speak to him?" He said, "No." He said, "Get out the car." I said, "What are you pulling me over for?" He said, "License and registration." I said, "Sir, what are you pulling me over for?" I didn't do anything. Listen, I saw him. He chased me. He chased me. From the mall? From the mall. He chased me. Listen. Listen. Listen. I didn't want to pull over on the highway. I wanted to pull >> Listen, I We got that, yeah. Like that's all I wanted to do. Not only that, ask Look at his camera. I I stopped and I said, "Excuse me, officer. I'm trying to pull over on the town." I said that outside of my car window. He said, "Pull over." I said, "You know what? I ain't going to try to cause no problems." I pulled over. If you look at that video camera, you'll see my hand out the window saying, "Officer, pull on the side of me." He said, "No, I'm not pulling on the side of you." I said, "Okay, I'm just trying to pull into town." He like I said, "You know what? I pulled over." I said that. Ask him did I say that. Why is he checking my car? I'm not I'm not this ain't a criminal Just not A CRIMINAL STOP. THIS AIN'T A CRIMINAL STOP. Get Tell him to get out of my car. I did not give him consent to check my car. Please, officer. Officer, he is in my car. He is in my car. They are Are they checking my car for what? The officer clarifies they're allowed to observe anything in plain view and that the search was justified due to the arrest. For what? He can't be in my car. >> to look what's in plain view. >> Listen, you can't check my car. We can look and see what's in plain view. He's not going to go in there. If he goes in there, correct. You're all correct. But, we can look from outside the car and see what's in there. That's fine. I don't have a problem with him checking the car, but like him like that, he just violated me. You You cannot pull me over if it's not a traffic stop. Even if you see my license is something expired, you have to wait till I do something illegal and use that as a what's his name. That's not That's That's not correct. Uh Rockland versus US 425 261 title 16 the 2016. If you If you and your police you and your police hit somebody's license plate, you pulled them over while they in a parking lot. When they pulled them over, they gave them a ticket, towed his car, and said that In the parking lot. >> Yeah, in a parking lot. Pulled him over in the parking lot, towed his car. Said, "How What was it the traffic trafficking offense?" Said, "No, we hit his plate." They said, "That's not enough to cover to have somebody pulled over and then tow their car." >> In the parking lot. Yeah, he pulled him over in the parking lot. He was about to pull him out. He was about to pull out. He blocked him in. This is the same thing. I did not commit no traffic infringement. >> You're not in the parking lot anymore. You're driving the car on a public roadway. I did not commit no traffic infringement. I did I wasn't speeding. I Listen, I wasn't speeding. I made my left hand turn. I turned my my signals on. I wasn't doing nothing illegal. I did not do anything. I understand. So, what what kind of >> Cuz your license suspended? You don't have to tell me. I mean, he's going to run it anyway. All this stuff I let all this go. They told me I had to let my license be suspended. I had to let my registration run out in order to get my sovereign. So, that's what they had told me. So, I let it all run out. I didn't pay it. I didn't once I I'm in there right now. My paperwork is in. My paperwork was sent. All the paperwork >> What is that for? It's for my sovereign. For your your living rights. You don't have to have your license So, you're a sovereign citizen what you're saying? >> Yes. Yes. I'm I'm applying for my sovereign citizen. I In the state of New Jersey, if you don't provide license, registration, insurance, like or at least your license, you're you're a you're going to get arrested. He's checking my car. Look, he's inside of my car. Look, he's inside of my car. Despite his continued resistance and legal arguments, officers maintain professionalism and complete the arrest without further incident. Hang on. What's he doing? What are you doing? He's got [ __ ] Okay. He's got these these bags. Let me talk to He's a sovereign citizen. Yeah. Yeah, he was going I said, "You went belligerent on me right from the beginning. I didn't get a chance to say nothing to him." He started screaming and yelling. Well, that's what he said What he told me he's asked you what you were stopping him for. Yeah. And then you're like, "I'll tell you after you give me your paperwork." Not in this life. None of that happened. As soon as I walked up to the window, "I'm not giving you anything like that." So, "Why did you stop me?" "You're driving on suspended." "Okay, I'm not giving you Well, that's what I said. He's in there starting chaos on me. And I'm like, "Dude, I In the state of New Jersey, we can run your registration. And if anything comes back wrong, then we can stop you." I didn't hit off my LPR. I didn't even I didn't even run Is he tinted though? Tinted, too? Yeah. But, it's it's a whole bunch of stuff You tried You tried to You tried ducking on me, too. So, like we passed each other Neiman's. Waiting for the Neiman's waiting for the J1. And then I I spun around. And by the time I turned around, he was gone. So, he tried going the long way around the deck. So, I cut through I cut through in front of Legal Seafoods and met him in front of Macy's. And he tried ducking me in front of a couple of them. Well, you're not You don't You don't got no All right, you're good here, right? Yeah. Yeah, I just saw it. He's not He's going to give me a hard time when we get down there. So, if I think uh D'Attilio got him. Panero's going to come. Yeah, I don't give a We have good ideas. Yeah. All right, we could I could I could incite him on scene and all that, but Mr. Wiggins is charged with obstruction, resisting arrest, and multiple motor vehicle violations. Game over. Another sovereign citizen argument shut down. Which excuse do you think was the worst one? Tell us in the comments.
