In a morbid way, I kinda want to understand someone’s thought process on how they could possibly justify this as being remotely true. What happened in your life that brought you to this point in your thought process to think that police officers should have to pay for the traffic violations you caused? How does that make any sense to these people?

I've come to view this stuff as people trying to cast spells. Basically, if you do a ritual and write magic words, maybe what you want will come true.

In the ancient days you summoned demons and angels. Now you invoke the Secretary of State or something.

Olympic level mental gymnastics

It makes sense if the person you heard it from was one of the voices in your head.

Well, if everybody tried this, the system would collapse, or else the government would cotton on and eliminate these loopholes, but thankfully the world is populated mostly by rule-following sheeple too dull to even consider that they might be able to get the traffic cop who booked them to pay their fine, leaving the path wide open for the true sovcits. Much like getting the Federal Reserve to buy you your new SUV from your straw-man trust account, or Jedi-mind-tricking away alimony payments.

I want to understand this as well. It's the same type of people that are susceptible to other types of scams I think. Like thinking you're dating a celebrity and you're the only person they can turn to for financial help. So I sent my retirement funds to Pamela Anderson. We'll move in together soon, she promised a bunch of times. She just needs a little more money and she'll pay it all back plus the investments she's been doing for me. So I guess people that want to believe so badly that there's a super easy way to get unlimited money that all critical thinking just gets tossed out.

I also sorta had a moment of perhaps morbid curiosity about this one.

Do they simply have an extraordinary sense of entitlement? A strong belief that getting ahead means being clever about working the system? A philosophical commitment to fringe ideas of what it means to be a person in society?

Or are traffic citations that much of a nuisance that you'll do anything to get out of them? A lot of the posts I see here seem to focus on transportation / driving.

They aren't getting out of it though. I've seen so many videos of idiots where even though almost everything was illegal (suspended license/fake plates/no insurance/etc) the cop was ready to just write a ticket and let them go but they try their sovcit script and inevitably get their window broken, dragged from the car, arrested, car towed. Then they try that same sovcit shit in court and get shut down again. The disconnect is insane.

I would imagine — in my non-trained eye — that they are probably narcissist; they lack the ability to admit to themselves and others that they make mistakes.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

They're also extraordinarily stupid. Like painfully so. Not one of them comprehend why this might not work.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Imagine if Anthony Blinken's job was spending all day forcing police to pay traffic violation fines...

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

I assume they mean the state-level Secretary of State. Still funny as fuck, though.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

In that case, if it's the attorney general in my state, his job would be better spent doing that.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Alright, how do we convince Indiana sovcits to absolutely innundate Rokita with pseudolegal nonsense letters?

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It can't possibly even ping on their radar because I'm in Texas and Ken Paxton hasn't been buried by these people yet. I keep hoping, though.

[-] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

I recall from a different sovcit post that Secretary of State is DMV is some states like Illinois?

But I don’t know shit about US government structure, just what I see here.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 month ago

Not only will the officer pay, they will also come round your place and cook you a nice meal.

But only if you remember to sign at 45°

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Just make sure it is exactly 45°, or you might end up with .45 ACP instead.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 23 points 1 month ago

Dude. Ten comments. You've got to share a couple of those beauties with us.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Sadly the little sovshit deleted the post, sorry buddy.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Ah well. Still had fun, thanks again!
