"I gave the government extra money for a vanity plate so that I can tell the world that I don't support or recognize the government. "
- Pretty sure it's not an official plate. The sovereign citizens will print their own. Sometimes like this in an effort to fool cops into thinking its a regular plate so they don't get pulled over.
  
  What a steal
- It's not a customized plate, it's just straight up fake. Sov citizens buy them, and cops often don't even pull then over because they're so fucking annoying to deal with.
  
  How is handcuffing and unceremoniously throwing someone in jail annoying?
In America I have the right to travel FOR FREE! recites garbage thinking they're a lawyer.

Yeah, the right to travel. No restrictions against travel. You are very welcome to walk on over to another state for free. You can ask your friend for a ride and go over there. It's just if you want to drive your own personal car on public roads, you have to pay to register it. Oh, did you not think that they obviously included that in the lawbooks? I'm sorry to burst your bubble but actual lawyers covered their asses, Jimmy Youtuber didn't find out one sick way around it.
- I'm not sure the book has been closed on this one. You don't have to be a sov citizen to read the constitution and know that laws get passed all the time that violate civil rights for instance. Laws get overturned when they are challenged and someone has standing. Appeals courts are issuing rulings all the time that reverse what many assume was iron clad and untouchable. Jimmy YouTuber could be wrong but if he tests it and appeals with standing, we might just be surprised by the outcome.
  
  You can drive all you want on private land without having a license or insurance or registering your car. Some states even have tax-free fuel (especially diesel) you can buy for ag equipment, since the fuel tax is for maintaining roads.
  
  But when you use public roads you have to follow the rules and pitch in towards their maintenance.
  
  Are lawyers taking up cases about stuff like whether the government has a right to mandate holding a driver’s license to legally drive?
Must be in a red state. Report it to the Confederate overlords please.
To be fair, this dude is also paying taxes, even if he’s trying not to.
- Imagine telling this guy what that little third 9 in the price of his fuel means. Think he might switch to electric?
  
  OOTL: what is it supposed to mean?
With that plate, could be a sovcit lunatic.
- Is*
[email protected] would enjoy this
This why I always carry a red crayon to mark a 45° line across their driver-side window. Then they can never drive it again.
- Just don’t let them see the crayon, they will try to eat it
How the hell is it exempt? Can you just pay for that?
- It’s not actually exempt. You can buy those plates on the internet.
