He has has been charged with breaking and entering in one case of disputed ownership but he is even fighting that charge.

'SOVEREIGN CITIZENS' - A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES They could be dismissed as a nuisance, a loose network of individuals living in the United States who call themselves “sovereign citizens” and believe that federal, state, and local governments operate illegally. Some of their actions, although quirky, are not crimes. The offenses they do commit seem minor, like creating false license plates, driver’s licenses, and even currency.

However, a closer look at sovereign citizens’ more severe crimes, from financial scams to impersonating or threatening law enforcement officials, gives reason for concern. If someone challenges (e.g., a standard traffic stop for false license plates) their ideology, the behavior of these sovereign-citizen extremists quickly can escalate to violence. Since 2000, lone-offender sovereign-citizen extremists have killed six law enforcement officers. In 2010, two Arkansas police officers stopped sovereign-citizen extremists Jerry Kane and his 16-year-old son Joseph during a routine traffic stop on Interstate 40. Joseph Kane jumped out of the vehicle and opened fire with an AK-47 assault rifle, killing both officers.

The sovereign-citizen threat likely will grow as the nationwide movement is fueled by the Internet, the economic downturn, and seminars held across the country that spread their ideology and show people how they can tap into funds and eliminate debt through fraudulent methods. As sovereign citizens’ numbers grow, so do the chances of contact with law enforcement and, thus, the risks that incidents will end in violence. Law enforcement and judicial officials must understand the sovereign-citizen movement, be able to identify indicators, and know how to protect themselves from the group’s threatening tactics.

more hope and change

Wouldn’t a Quiet Title action require personal service of the Complaint before the court would have jurisdiction?

That’s crazy if someone can leave their house of 21 years to see a dying relative and come back to find out that they’ve been kicked out because some stranger says he now owns the house!

One of many reasons to leave someone at the house
during the funeral, riding “ShotGun”

I've done this before.

Watching the cars slowly driving by,
looking at you, is priceless

This is absolutely nuts — if they have been getting mail there and utilities are in their name and their possessions have been there and they have been paying property taxes then this guy is nothing but an interloping burglar.

This is bullshit. The actual owner has the deed in his name.

I’d kick this guys ass down the road a few miles. Or call the cops as someone breaking and entering.

The are white sovereign groups and black sovereign groups, such as the Nawaubians.

Oddly enough, the SPLC does not even mention the Nawaubians, who are larger and more prone to violence.

Why can’t the family file criminal complaints against the guy — breaking & entering, grand theft, forgery, are just a few that come to mind.. and have him arrested.

They can certainly prove the house is theirs — they must have real estate tax receipts, utility bills and so on.

From another article:

http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/210345/sovereign-citizen-moves-into-ohio-familys-home-while-theyre-out-of-town-claims-he-owns-the-place/

“Carr has done this with several “abandoned” homes in the area, which has resulted in him having charges of breaking and entering filed against him. However, he “rejects” these charges and sends them back to the police with “rejected” and “offer not accepted” written across the indictments.”

And exactly WHY doesn’t the police just go and ARREST him — now if a criminal “rejects” the charges they don’t get arrested?!

A couple of empty mags with Hornady 230grn JHP would settle the issue.

In the old days, when the law actually served the people, you would simply visit the Sheriff, who would ride up on his horse, challenge the squatter, and drag him out by his hair if necessary.

It was probably this way up until the 1970’s (minus the horse) until the liberals started abusing the law and the Great Society and turned everything upside down.

The fact that this criminal was NOT arrested IMMEDIATELY
is all the proof we need that our government is totally and
completely corrupt.

I’ve had ‘em in my court. They’re extremely frustrating to deal with because they truly think they’ve got a valid legal position, even though most o
of the pleadings and “motions” they file are gibberish.
