- Hold on.
[inaudible]
- He's sovereign citizen--
not real like bad or anything, just passive aggressive kind
of deal.
He's suspended.
The truck's suspended.
We wanted to at least get one of you county guys out of here.
- All right.
Let's do it.
[inaudible]
- The registration on the truck is registered to a name--
same first as yours--
Douglas, but a different last name.
But it's under your driver's license number from California.
- So I went down and cancelled the driver's license.
It had been suspended.
I wasn't driving, but I canceled it.
And they told me--
this was after it expired--
you cannot cancel it.
It's not suspended.
It can't be suspended.
It expired.
It's done.
- OK.
Well, the truck's registration is suspended.
- That's all I'm saying.
- So here's what's going to happen.
You're going to see right here.
You've agreed that you're going to appear
before court on the date that's listed on the citation,
correct?
- Sure, I'll-- as attorney in fact, I'll show up.
Sure. - OK.
Now I'm advising you, I'm going to walk back there.
You're not able to drive this vehicle,
because it's not registered and insured.
- Can I get someone to come get it?
- You can get somebody to come tow it-- absolutely.
- OK, so here's--
- I'm going to go back here and work for a second.
I'm going to let the deputy talk to you about that.
- If you want a contract-- this is all about business,
I understand what's going on here.
I don't want to cause any controversy.
I'm--
- So let's not.
And if you have a private party tow you, you'd like to call,
let's get them en route now.
OK?
- I don't know that--
- Because it's got to be towed.
- See, I won't argue law, and I know
you don't want to argue law. - I don't.
I don't. - And I'm not--
- It's a one-sided argument.
- And I'm not saying I'm above the law,
but the law does apply to those who want
to contract with government.
A driver's license is a contract.
It's a contract.
I don't have a contract.
- Well, you're choosing not to do it and it's against the law.
- Well--
- OK?
So you made those choices.
- A license is a license to break the law.
- You're perfectly aware of making those choices.
and that's giving you what's coming, which is citations.
- See, licentious behavior is illegal behavior.
So when you have a license, you can break the law.
If you don't have a license, it's impossible.
- So you could just go the wrong way on--
- This is why you're saying it's suspended
when I haven't had one--
- So you could just do like 80 right through here, right?
- Well since 2006, I haven't had one.
- No, that would be ridiculous.
- How could you--
- That would be ridiculous.
- Why do I have a license?
I need to get rid of mine. - Was I speeding?
Was I doing anything unsafe?
- I just got in trouble earlier today for speeding.
- But you know what?
- I need to--
I need to-- - I'm serious.
I wasn't speeding.
- So if I don't have a license, I
don't have to follow that law.
- You know what he pulled me over for?
Did he tell you what he pulled me over for?
No license plate on the front.
- Which you don't have.
- Right.
- Valid reason.
- I can find any number of cars that don't have a license--
there's one right there--
the black Jeep.
But that's irrelevant.
- Uh-huh.
- I'm not going to, you know, argue with you.
- He had a perfectly lawful reason to stop you.
- I wasn't speeding though.
If I did something unsafe, totally.
I'm not doing anything illegal.
I know you say I am.
I say let the judge decide.
- Yeah, and your beliefs--
your beliefs are just different than the law.
- But to take the vehicle--
This is what I should have had on the back of this.
- That would've got it pulled over a lot faster.
[laughter]
I mean--
- But that, honestly, that's the--
- You're better off trying to get away with the suspended
plate then-- you put this on the back of your car,
every cop is going to get you within 10 feet of pulling
out of your driveway.
- You know what?
I'll tell you something that's funny, is that--
well maybe it's not funny--
- Oh, no, I think it's funny.
I, actually, I think these are hilarious.
- He seems to have his own beliefs
and why he can be on the roadway and why he
shouldn't register his vehicle.
But now NHP has issued him citations
for the suspended registration and license.
They're choosing not to tow the vehicle.
- I'm telling you, you can't drive this vehicle.
When I leave, what you do with it, that's on you, correct?
- All right. Yes--yes, sir.
- OK?
You're free to go.
- Thank you, sir.
- He doesn't like to be associated
as a sovereign citizen, but their belief line
is similar in the fact that they don't abide by the Nevada laws.
They don't abide by state laws, because in their mind,
they're not owned by the state.
Anytime you're dealing with those guys,
you have to be confident.
You have to know your laws, and you have to not
get caught up in their legal tongue twister,
and you'll be just fine.
