The sovereign citizen thing was cooked up in the 1930s or so and is actually not a real thing. Discussed a while ago.

Cop must have believed it, so the guy was lucky.

ThankQ for the background info on the sovereign citizen movement!

That’s what I figured, the cop’s boss had heard it before and maybe agreed with it.

I'm a sovereign citizen and the droids your looking for are not here.

Sovereign citizenry has no nexus in a DL/Registration stop anyway. The laws are pretty clear that driving is a profession and traveling in a conveyance of your own is not.

The fact that a zillion people have gone in for being “drivers” doesn’t negate the fact, though it does make cops able to deal with it 1/10000...

I didn’t watch the video, but whether or not you’re travelling in a rolling scrapyard or a decent vehicle plays a large role in how that goes down (also not being crazy or stinking drunk helps too).
