On June 17, 2022, deputies responded to a battery call from a fast food parking lot after a road rage confrontation. The man they found told them he punched the other driver in the mouth because the driver cussed at him. Then he told deputies the statute of limitations on all American laws had expired, that he follows universal law, and that they had no jurisdiction over him. Refusing to step out of his car turned a battery investigation into an arrest. Legal Analysis Includes: - Battery: an intentional touching against another person's will, and why an on-camera admission supplies the elements - Resisting an officer: why refusing a lawful order to step out and pulling away adds a separate charge - Sovereign citizen arguments: United States v. Benabe, 654 F.3d 753 (7th Cir. 2011), where the court rejected these theories as frivolous - Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989): force is judged from the officer's perspective at the moment of decision - Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752 (1969): search incident to arrest - Why silence is a constitutional right and on-camera admissions cannot be taken back Case Outcome: The court outcome was not publicly confirmed at the time of this analysis. On camera, deputies state the man is under arrest for battery and resisting an officer, and the other driver says he wants to pursue charges. [CHECK: exact charges, county, and disposition not independently verified] Story Breakdown: Deputies find two drivers at a fast food parking lot after a road rage call. The man admits punching the other driver and lectures deputies on universal law and expired statutes. He refuses repeated requests to step out of his vehicle, is told he may be arrested for battery, and is handcuffed after pulling away. A search turns up knives and deputies note a smell of marijuana. The other driver gives his account and asks to press charges. The analysis covers the battery, the sovereign citizen claims, the force used, and grades the deputies, the suspect, his son, and the other driver.
