      That DOT number is not in the FMCSA’s data base, so they either made it up, or registered a motor carrier company that was then removed from their system.

        So you can’t go through the drive through?

    Definitely don’t get in an accident with one of those. They won’t have any money to cover damages.

    If they did, they’d probably just pay their child support.

    Not everyone needs to operate in public but clearly your car was out on public roads, come on Yvonne!

    Sovereign citizens are the fucking best.

    They live in a completely different reality from the rest of us. In what world do you think someone whose job it is to enforce the corporate laws of the united states is just going to be like, “Apologies citizen, be on your way here’s $20 for your trouble.” None, not even coo coo crazyland where they live. Maybe in like Maybury. But the cops patrolling american streets in 2024 have AR’s in the trunk and cross train with the military on urban combat maneuvers. They’re all Judge Dredd cosplayers or zealots of the law and the perverted sense of justice america has. It’s not going down like you think it will. Barney Fife isn’t going to call you a rascal and tell you to fix it before he sees you again. He will grind your face into the asphalt while he cuffs you after you tell Mr. Qualified Immunity himself he can’t do something a secind time.

    The driver of that car is going to jail if this car isn’t sitting in their closed garage. If it’s out and about and Porky catches you, especially if you also do not have a driver’s license and insurance, you are looking at class a misdemeanors. If you start talking about maritime law, felonies.

    But they can’t see it or don’t care to. We certainly do live in interesting times.

      Not only are they doxxing themselves, I’m pretty sure that also opens them up to DOT roadside inspections who do not fuck around.

      It’s listed on the DOT website as “<the person’s name in all caps> FOREIGN GRANTOR TRUST” and engaged in intrastate non hazardous materials operation.

    Feel like this is reaching epidemic levels. Locally, I am seeing lots of them suddenly.

      As the local purveyor of sovcittery on Lemmy, sovereign citizens have definitely increased. Qanon is largely to thank for that.

        In some ways it’s no different that the Libertarians i see who have never registered their vehicles in my neighborhood. I still see 2019 and 2020 temp plates on the regular. What you can get away with if you have a driveway.

          Oh wow I didn’t know that was a thing. In Ontario where I live they got rid of the year stickers so all of them are out of date.
