Federal law does not apply to me as a Swede in Sweden.
Nor I, as a sovereign citizen in the United States.
The concept of the sovereign citizen makes sense. You never consented to the laws you're being held to. You're forced into this system with no other options. Of course only people who have committed crimes and lost their drivers license and etc. try to evoke their weird ideas in court. But how is that any different than the laws and standards they're being held to? Laws are written by politicians, some of the dumbest people in our society, heavily influenced by the wealthy. Laws are enforced only at the lowest levels, against people just struggling to survive to "protect the social order" it might as well be the Indian caste system. Laws are wildly unfair and applied excessively to the average person.
I'm sympathetic if you're living off the grid and don't use public infrastructure. But the "sovereign citizens" that we usually hear about have already implicitly accepted the social contract and are now trying to weasel out of the consequences. The license plates that say "private; no license required" are just utter balogna.
That said, I'm completely in support of nonviolent resistance against unjust laws. But most sovereign citizens, in my estimation, are not protesting in support of any higher cause.
First time I see something like this net upvoted. Mood improved.
I'm not downloading it, the bits are travelling to my hard drive.
May I could check out a paper copy of those bits, would that be okay? Then it's not a digital copy
I do not wish to enjoinder with your Game Launcher and anonymous telephony
I think Sweden has federal laws too.
No, just laws.
Sweden is not a federation, why would we have federal laws?
I meant as in country laws instead of local laws from municipalities and regions.
We have federal laws and local laws where I live, but I don't live in a federation either.
There are no "local laws" in Sweden that differ between parts of the country, only laws that apply to the entire country.
According to the English version of the Swedish government's website, Sweden does have local laws though? It says there are 23 regions, with 290 municipalities, that are allowed, and have laws, that pertain only to that district/municipality. That the central Swedish government regulates their governance to make sure it adheres to constitution's, and central government law also regulates these areas.
Reading more, there are police local to these regions and local municipalities too. With central government investigative authorities. So, what's the deal with what you are saying, vs what the Swedish government claims
Maybe something with translation IDK. Municipalities can have different regulations, and breaking them can carry a penalty. But these are not laws.
The "central investigative authorities" are the same police institution as regional police, they're just a different department so to speak.
Interesting. What about federal police?
It's just police, there's not really any policing entity above just regular police.
So every police officer can go and answer every call?
Over here we have police zones, and police officers patrol their own zone and handle the issues of their own zone (as long as no outside backup is required). Then we have the federal police that handle national issues and stuff like murders.
