Seriously? You think the sovereign citizen movement is a threat to the government? You have been reading too much FBI and BATFE propaganda.
Today, we look at a third threatthe sovereign citizen extremist movement. Sovereign citizens are anti-government extremists who believe that even though they physically reside in this country, they are separate or sovereign from the United States. As a result, they believe they dont have to answer to any government authority, including courts, taxing entities, motor vehicle departments, or law enforcement.This causes all kinds of problemsand crimes. For example, many sovereign citizens dont pay their taxes. They hold illegal courts that issue warrants for judges and police officers. They clog up the court system with frivolous lawsuits and liens against public officials to harass them. And they use fake money orders, personal checks, and the like at government agencies, banks, and businesses.
[duh!!! like the unlimited resources of our tax-funded overlords]
Thats just the beginning. Not every action taken in the name of the sovereign citizen ideology is a crime, but the list of illegal actions committed by these groups, cells, and individuals is extensive (and puts them squarely on our radar).
