It's magical thinking. They believe they found a legal loophole that means they're obeying the law, because they don't actually need things like license plates or a drivers license.
For example, they commonly believe that the law actually defines "driving" as a commercial activity, as in "to drive a herd of cattle". So they insist that they aren't "driving a motor vehicle", they're just "traveling in their conveyance".
It's why the poster made a point of saying they were privately traveling.
This is correct. Lots of farms have children drive trucks around, and places like resorts often have shuttle drivers without CDLs drive their busses, which they could not do on public roads
What's the origin of this "traveling doesn't require a license" thing? Usually the sovereign citizens end up grossly misinterpreting some real statute or law. "Traveling" seems to show up consistently. I'm just curious where it came from.
Also the U.C.C. Sovcits fuckin love the U.C.C. If I had a nickel for every time of them says they're not engaging in commerce so they're not required to have a license, I'd be Jeff Bezos.
I’m imagining a scenario where the driver gets one ticket and becomes irate. The police officer decides to issue another and the cycle continues until the driver shuts up.
I am not from the US, but i would assume sth. like operating an unregistered vehicle, driving w.o. licencse and maybe one violation he got pulled over for in the first place.
Because a private individual will have the resources to take on a police department. As though they wouldn’t defend their officer. How much money do you have for this case? It’s definitely not going to be enough. But I’d love to see it play out.
I wonder why they are obsessed with all things vehicle. I am pretty sure they could make a big show out of not doing jury duty or not answering the complete census without much happening to them.
