Sovereign Citizen, eh? More like Nuisance Citizen, IMHO. But then, consider the source – IANAL .

But they do fit a pattern. The funny thing is that while these guys (who don’t actually seem to fit a set demographic — I see them old, young, black, white — though usually male) often reject the jurisdiction of the court when they’re on the receiving end, they sure do use it a lot on the giving end.
