I saw my first SovCit plate in the wild yesterday! They also had a tinted cover over it, I assume to hide it. Such a lack of confidence, tsk tsk.

I don't get why they advertise themselves. You'll blend in a lot more if you use a normal plate and simply never renew the registration. You rarely get pulled over for this and ticket is so minor that it's easy to just ignore it and never show up to court. But more often than not the cop will just tell you to renew it ASAP and send you on your way. Be polite, apologize, don't argue/mention any sovern citizen bullshit, and most importantly: don't be brown-skinned, and usually they'll just let you go without even so much of a warning.

The thing is, they WANT to show that they are "special".

Won't the state just impound the car the second time sovcit gets pulled over? And eventually auction.

Wow haha. I would love to see one but they're not really a thing here I don't think.

I also don't seem to have them near me, but I might start carrying a hammer to break the tint of I see one. Sovereign citizens can get fucked and pay taxes.

I think you could still get in trouble for that.

Every time I'm in the US I look at every plate I can, but nothing so far. Upstate New York tends to be a bit more sane though.

Nova is as well, glad to know other places avoid the crazies

Be the change you want to see in the world!... Actually, wait-

Yeah, debated trying to get a pic, but never had a chance given that we were both driving and I didn’t want to get too close to a truck that I was sure wouldn’t have insurance.
