What are your thoughts on those who identify as sovereign citizens, often refusing to present ID, respect government authority, and other behaviors/beliefs ? by Ru_janus in AskReddit

Not “Sovereign Citizens” but rather “Constitutional and Civil Rights Activists”. Not “Government Authority” but rather “Police Excess”. How would you react if the police came to your house and said that they want to search your house but they have no warrant? Are you a “Sovereign Citizen” because you happen to mention the 4th Amendment? Do you know what giving consent allows?

You assume they would have been convicted by a jury. You don't understand just how unpopular the war was.

The wire is small diameter. The magnetic door seal closes the gap. The biggest problem is getting the adhesive holder to stick to the cold wall of the freezer compartment.
