I think you are OK driving without a license as long as you stay on your own property.
No. The state government is fully empowered to require, issue, and enforce drivers' licenses.
I watch ALL “Sovereign Citizen” videos. (for amusement) Am I an expert on them? Kinda.
THERE IS ZERO BASIS for “Sovereign Citizen” beliefs.
They NEVER win in court. They do NOT have a legal leg to stand on in ANY state.
The 10th Amendment
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
The Constitution (which Sovereign citizens always refer to) gives all power not specified in the constitution to the federal government to the states.
Laws about driving, insurance, and almost everything else are “state or Local laws”
Sovereign citizens are NOT governed under “Natural Law” or Maritime Law while DRIVING a motor vehicle on the highways in the 50 United States. (They may be traveling, but they are still “DRIVING”)
They claim under the constitution that they have a “RIGHT” to “travel”. In THIS they are correct!!! They can walk, ride a horse, take a bus or train and “travel” anywhere in the US, but they can’t DRIVE a motor vehicle on public highways without following all the laws associated with doing so. PERIOD!
Yeah, the old *sovereign citizen* spiel.
A bunch of crap! They’re the worst entitled, arrogant punks going, and in spite of their bragging, woefully ignorant of the law. LEO’s have zero to no patience with them.
I’ve been watching some of those videos too and am appalled at the number of people caught on the road with no license, no valid license, no insurance, no or expired registration, and so many who don’t even carry ID on them?
Oh, I just ran out to the store and didn’t take my wallet.
And you paid for your groceries HOW?
And also, they always are just heading home, literally live right down the street and around the next corner, and never took a drink when they blow a 0.2 or more on the breathalyzer, and *What did I do? I didn’t do anything wrong !!!!. (cry/sob)* after being told more times than they deserve.
“I’m not driving. I am traveling”
“You are literally driving by definition. You are also traveling. If you want to just travel, sit in the passenger seat and don’t touch the wheel”
The law says you need a license to drive on public roads and you aren’t allowed to make up your own rules.
Federal income tax is the same.
