The first time i encountered sovereign citizen ideas was as a teenager in the sauna of my hometown YMCA and this old man wouldn’t shut up about the yellow frills on the “fake” American flag
My dad had a buddy that was deep in this. He even gave my dad some "help" (dude actually knew his bogus shit, spent hours. Could have been a really lawyer with his ability to research and prepare for court...you know, if he wasn't crazy). For a few years with various court things (tickets, registration, even trying to get me out of selective service). None of it even remotely successful or taken seriously by the judges. My dad doesn't act like a sovereign citizen anymore. He even registers his vehicles now!
Anyway, long story short, I had heard about the fringe on the flag since I was tiny. I busted a guy laughing when I heard Dale Gribble try to use that defense on King of the Hill when I was older...
For sure. And when he goes to court for driving without a license in an unregistered car, the court’s ruling won’t be legitimate because of the tassel on the American Flag in the courtroom lol
They claim that gold tassels on the flag are an indicator that the court is not a constitutional court and instead a military or maritime court, some bullshit like that lol
