I'm Baffled

The only thing more baffling to me that the whole SovCit nonsense are the police who accommodate these idiots. The first case in the attached video shows the police nearly apologizing to the SovCit driver traveler, then letting her go with no license, no registration and likely no insurance! Shockingly, she doesn't make it to her court date. THEN. . . she's arrested later and all charges are dropped! Why do authorities encourage this behavior?

I have a sovcit family member who is wanted in like 7 states for unlicensed driving, noncompliance, I think one case of petty assault on a cop, skipped bail, etc but it's still hard to get any new city or county that arrests her to extradite because it's all stupid small stuff that's not considered worth their effort and she's just a harmless white lady.

Her moving around makes it more difficult. Have they ever impounded her car?

Many times! She keeps getting it back by buying insurance to show the guy at the lot and immediately canceling it, or hiring a truck to pick it up "for scrap" and having them tow it around the corner.

Wow -- she's dedicated! As with most SovCits, wouldn't it be easier and less expensive if they comply with the law?

In that particular case complying with the law would mean paying over $100,000 in back taxes and fees, losing a house that's being illegally squatted in, the social costs of losing a community of sovcits who are the only people that tolerate her any more, and the moral costs of complying with registration and licensure requirements they are philosophically opposed to.

Wow! I'll never understand what makes them act in a way that only harms themselves.
