I like how he cares about the paperwork for the gun, but the paperwork for the car is easily bipassed by magic SovCit jargon.
I told my kids to...
Surprise! Kids in the car got to see their father get his just deserts. Officers may have even made a CPS report, as a cherry on top. Sovereign Citizens love CPS cases, I've heard.
This guy's an idiot, the sister is an idiot, I really feel for those kids.
I mean, how do we know the sister is an idiot? Posting bond for a family member is understandable. Unless they're violent or dangerous, and frankly, this sovcit doesn't seem like that. A fool, and suckered in by some real hucksters who are hawking him a product that will hurt him, but not a danger.
Doing double the speed limit with your kids in the car is not a danger?
Can't wait to hear how you justify this.
It could be an accident. I got pulled over because I was just cruising around the loop in my town on a Friday with my cruise control set at the speed limit.
At the time, my college didn't have school on Fridays, so as I passed the school I asked myself, "why are there so many cars when there's no school?" Then I saw the lights.
I still maintain that the school zone lights came on after I entered the zone since the school busses weren't even lined up yet, but I was driving at a safe speed for the road itself.
The cop thought so too, since I only got a ticket for 55 in a 35 instead of in a school zone.
Alright, I'll buy this highly specific scenario.
Bro somehow found the one good cop
Okay, you know, that's fair. I personally detest speeding because it is a danger. However, I feel that we are speaking of two different meanings of the word here, and my meaning of the word danger is much different in regards to whether or not someone should be bonded out.
You're right. ACAB. I was flippantly feeling judgy. Sorry!
It's fun to laugh at sovcits and I know we're dealing with unreliable narrators, but I think there's some legitimacy to this person's objections about their treatment by police. Trying to seize the gun in TX is a big one to me.
It's been a long time since I had to deal with texas laws about firearms, but I think there is a clause about having a handgun/firearm while in commission of another crime. Yup, here's the relevant one. Then there's the plate one which is what triggers that 'other than... Class C' part of the first one, since having a fictitious plate is a Class B.
So basically, the seizure they're doing is legal, although as we all know, *cough cough*, legal ain't always right.
I don't disagree that credit is a joke of a system, that people should be treated poorly by police or anything, but still they're pretty bonkers and also dangerous. One killed a cop in Dallas a couple of months ago.
It's an interesting intersection between a sense of entitlement, thinking legalese is like magic spells where if you use the right words you get what you want, and police/government overreach plus late stage capitalism making people think they need something like that to get what they feel they are entitled to.
I am someone who politically thinks all our needs should be met because we pay taxes. My motto is give everybody everything, to quote the poet Bernadette Meyer. But sovcits just have very strange ideas.
Oh God they wanna be wizards so bad. I have the magic scroll, I said the magic words, so you can't touch me now.
between this and handjob boebert wanting to abolish the ATF... like, what do they really envision? mad max? can I strap a grenade launcher to my roof rack and claim traffic was threatening me?
Pretty sure it'd still be illegal and someone would eventually shoot you. ATF just shoots your dog before they shoot you because they can't tell the difference between a carbine pistol chambered in 5.56 with a wrist brace and a short barreled rifle.
I mean, they're almost functionally identical, but that's what happens when there's an arms race between gun makers skirting illegally by technicality and the atf trying to plug gaps. Either way though, dog shot.
Questionnaire? LOL! That's a new one!
I'm guessing even most "I don't get paid enough for this shit" cops would say that went too far.
I've actually seen them do something like this before, I'll see if I can find it, where they try and get the cop to sign a form they made.
Sovcits are funny and all but we don’t need to lick boots about it
This isn't licking boots, this is laughing about someone FAFO.
If someone walked up to a cop and said, "guess what, I just robbed that bank over there but I have diplomatic immunity and here's my International Citizen card" and the cop cuffed him and took him down to the station, I'd laugh at that person too.
This is basically the driving equivalent.
ESH except maybe those unfortunate kids
Policeman wasn't having any of that shit that day
If you're wondering about the firearm charge:
prohibits anyone involved in criminal activity from carrying in a vehicle or watercraft.
That part I assume?
I'm not saying the Texas government is stupid, but a watercraft is a type of vehicle.
Laws can sometimes use different definitions for things than laymen, and according to Texan law
(23) “Vehicle” means a device that can be used to transport or draw persons or property on a highway.
