there's a solid chance it's sovcit nonsense
these guys are AMAZING at turning what ought to be a citation and a fine into a full blown arrest + jail time via being generally disruptive, uncooperative, wasting the court's time on complete legal nonsense and overall idiocy.
There's -several- youtube channels making a living out of reporting and commenting these cases.
I mean Native American tribes are literally sovereign nations within the US so I'll give them a pass if that is what it was.
Regardless please explain under what circumstances it is necessary to not only take someone's freedom for 2 months but to also have the tax payers pay for their detainment all over a suspended license?
It's not necessary to keep them 2 months in jail, they do it to themselves.
Normal people, when they get arrested by a police officer, provide their ID, take whatever citation, pay the fine, and then move on.
Meanwhile, the typical interaction with a sovtard goes like this
Police officer "Hello sir, we stopped you because you were over the speed limit, and it seems your plates are expired, can you provide me with id, drivers license, proof of insurance?"
Sovtard: <insert nonsense about traveling not in commerce, maritime law, morrocan kings, etc.>
Police officer: "Please provide me with id, drivers license, proof of insurance, so I can give you a citation and we go our merry way"
Sovtard: <insert nonsense about not contracting, black's law dictionary, judges are a corporation, etc.>
Police officer: "You are legally obliged to provide these, if you don't, it's obstruction, and you'll be arrested"
Sovtard: <insert nonsense about bonds, secret bank accounts with trillions of dollars, etc.>
Police officer: <arrests sovtard, searches car, finds ID - runs it: no insurance, suspended license, etc.>
This goes on and on and on in front of judges the same pattern applies. Challenge jurisdiction every 15 minutes, refuse legal counsel, refuse to plead, 'I am the living Man', constantly interrupt the court's proceedings, fuck up at every corner, waste time with, general incompetence, general stupidity, 'I am not the allcaps representation of my name', etc etc
This is why these idiots spend 2+ months in jail over a citation and a ticket. They watched a youtube or tiktok retardfluencer selling them legal nonsense, bought it hook line and sinker. Some even go and surrender their driver's license if they had any, cancel their insurance, buy "PRIVATE not for commerce" license plates.
It's full blown stupidity.
Those "Private Not for Commerce" plate make me laugh every time I see them. I work in freight and every time someone shows up with those to pick up their freight I can't give them their freight due to DOT.
They also almost always don't have a valid license of any kind as well, which means that even if they did show up in a valid vehicle I can't release it because I can't confirm the identity of whose picking it up.
I'm paid by the hour so I have a right proper giggle every time explaining it to them.
