Another Sovereign Citizen has his day in Court, although technically it's this guy's third day. First he was fined by a magistrate so he appealed to the District Court. After losing that case, today he was appealing his earlier losses to the High Court.

As usual, the SovCit lost. They always do. How come they never learn?

Someone on Reddit brought up an abuse case for #chatgpt and other #LLM tools that I hadn’t thought about but consider obvious in retrospect now that they mentioned it: #SovereignCitizen types using it to automate document fraud.

There's no fun like #SovereignCitizen court fun! 😂

State deniers bring paranoiac obsessions to court, testing the legal system.

Litigants rejecting the state's authority have increasingly been annoying Switzerland's authorities and courts. This week, a criminal trial took place in the canton of Basel-Land.

What goes on in the minds of those who deny the state's power?

Interesting story...Despite the superficial trappings of support for #lawenforcement, inherent in much of U.S., #farright ideology is the understanding that law enforcement is a potential enemy they'll have to use deadly force against.

I wish more agencies would recognize that and incorporate that in their training as they did with #sovereigncitizen #extremism

I hope one day, the next person in a wreck with a #SovereignCitizen declares war on his made-up citystate over an unpaid car insurance claim.

Imagine declaring war on just some guy.

"...[the rejected claim is] characteristic of the consent-based Sovereign Citizen, 'dual personality' or 'Organised Pseudolegal Commercial Argument' (OPCA) theories that have been consistently rejected by the courts as legally untenable and 'without legal foundation."

In 2007 a Grumpy Lawyer fell ass backwards into the #FurryFandom. He had been sent a letter written by a #SovereignCitizen who was also a furry, and tied up in a alt-right furry group, banning yet another furry from a convention. The letter was a five alarm fire of #Dipshittery, and the Angry Lawyerwrote something about it. He did it without punching down, and went to bed.

When he woke up, the Animal People had arrived. /1

"You can't touch the car! Handcuffs are illegal!"

#SovereignCitizen antics are always hilarious, never successful.

Kent E. Hovind (or, to use his full former academic title Kent E. Hovind, inmate #06452-017) (1953–) is a young Earth #creationist, promoter of imminent millennialism, con man, professional liar, and convicted felon.

Hovind promotes Young Earth creationist and #Christian #dominionist views in lectures and videos sold or publicized through his Creation Science Evangelism organization (despite having no legitimate degree).

Hovind created The Hovind "Theory" to explain how the global flood got all the water — namely, a comet did it. Hovind then proceeded to ignore all scientific evidence on dinosaurs gathered this side of 1960. Not satisfied with this record of failure, in 2001, Hovind started Dinosaur Adventure Land, an amusement park in his backyard.
