The driver had been pulled over by police for driving without insurance and for having licence plates not issued by ICBC. Video of the incident was posted to social media.
In the video, he calls himself a sovereign citizen, which is a group of people who believe they are immune to the government’s law and order.

There has never been a case where a person claimed to be a sovereign citizen and it went their way. Not even once. It makes one wonder why they even bother. How can a person be so utterly wrong about how things work and still manage to function.
As much as these people are annoying and ignorant assholes, they're also victims of fraudsters who pretend to know the secrets of living an easier life through secret magical knowledge of "the law". They sell this bullshit in seminars where people are paying $500 to $1000 a seat.
These people boggle the mind. Say that was a valid argument for not having insurance or licensing, so why do they think they're entitled to use the roads the government, which they don't support, paid for and maintains? They want all the benefits of government without having to support or pay for it? Absolute lunacy.
