Well, since the “sovereign citizens” have decided they exist in a Lockean/Hobbesian state of nature, vis-a-vis the rest of the world, it’s hardly surprising when they end up on the wrong end of the “war of all against all”.
(At a theoretical level in terms of social contract theory the “sovereign citizen” movement has something to commend itself, but this is one of those examples where theory and practice are very different: at a practical level they’re complete nutcases.)
80 MPH is hardly Rodney King level highway driving. What was she driving, a four cylinder Volvo 240 ?
What is a sovereign citizen?
She should have brought a Kamatsu KillDozer with a concrete overshield.
Drive down the interstate at any speed in one of those and yeah, you’re a sovereign citizen.
Lock her “Highness” up and throw away the key.

You've got to be kidding me. She changed her last name to "Sovereen"?
Reading through all the associated information concerning the sovereign citizen, I come to this:
If that is something that siuts your fancy, that is your choice. I am one that Mr. Murphy looks towards with glee, if I do not ‘dot my ‘i’s’, and cross my ‘t’s’.
To disassociate yourself from American society, as a survival-of-self, is not bad.
To disassociate yourself, and take your existence away from being ‘stamped, numbered, indexed, labeled, categorized, identified’ from governmental existence, MIGHT have merit, were it not for all those pesky things called ‘laws’, written by cousins of Mr. Murphy, that will catch and jail you.
A self-declared ‘sovereign citizen’ is someone looking at all the laws, precepts, AND from the U.S. Constitution back to The Mayflower Compact, and calls it a lie. The sovereign citizen movement looks with disdain and hatred at The 14th Amendment, sseing that Amendment as the end of what was the America they use as their benchmark, and the America belonging to Great Britian from that moment in history forward.
They can attempt to sell that to me, but I’m not buying!
