This reads like a little kid/middle schooler that discovered the thesaurus function...
You would be punctilious in assuming that.
It's a perfectly cromulent assumption...
“I have fulfilled all my obligations to the plantiff”
[X] Doubt
But they sent a picture of a spider that they valued at the exact amount requested!
Time for another round of "replace all the sovcit nonsense with fanfic terms!"
Has anyone had a judge refuse to hear them read Spirk slashfic? He let me begin to speak and I pointeed out that this particular case was just like when SuperWhoLock tried to post Twilight memes. I also said that I was "the owner of the oc _______ (do not steal)" ....
(This was a drabble that is basically a mary sue and I have fulfilled all obligations to the beta reader)
This is the first sovcit I think I understand. Don't mistake me, they're still fucking wrong and dumb as dirt, but I finally get what they want.
They want to be able drive drunk and speed and not get pulled over for it.
They want to be able to load up on credit card debt and not have to pay it off.
They want all the imaginary privileges they can muster, but take no responsibility for anything they do.
It even kinda makes sense. If a company C-levels can get away with what's essentially several thousand counts of manslaughter because it wasn't any one person, it's this fictional legal entity that doesn't really exist and the government just gives it millions whenever it's in trouble - why don't we all do it?
The way that I've seen it, they see the legal system as this complicated thing that few people really understand, with those who get away with bad things hiding behind fancy words which get them out of trouble.
So they got fancy words of their own which they can use back, just like Harry Potter.
It's the American dream
I think that sovereign citizens are basically like evangelicals. They know the special words and others don’t. If you know them then you can do anything. Everyone else is an idiot
"a civil case that is basically harassment" probably is more "they keep wanting me to pay my bills"
This seems to be the tactic that judges take now: if you’re not the person then you can’t participate. This seems to infuriate the sov cits because it doesn’t appear in the playbook.
...and the defendant is charged with failure to appear. Fines are added, penalties are upped. A warrant is issued. Rinse. Repeat. Eventually, the heat gets too hot and the defendant slips up. They end up spending a lot of time in jail instead of a small fine. This method has the potential to radically reduce the number of SovCits.
"In caption"?
