While it's from 2010, still some good info on "how to" on countering & turning the tables.
Regional Organized Crime Information Center (ROCIC) Sovereign Citizen Movement
24 page LEO only pub.
So-called sovereign citizens are anti-government extremists who reject the notion of U.S. citizenship. They claim to follow only God’s laws and the amendments found in the original Bill of Rights.
Sovereign citizen disobedience of laws and regulations often lead to their involvement in criminal activity. Members of sovereign citizen groups use a variety of harassment and intimidation tactics against the government and other forms of authority. The most popular tactic is termed “paper terrorism,” referring to the filing of false liens against public officials to clog the court systems.
Law enforcement’s ability to identify tactics used by sovereign citizens is essential, as these groups have a history of periodic violence when confronted by law enforcement. In the event that a member of your agency encounters one of these individuals, officers are advised to use extreme caution, and acquire as much information as possible, such as:
• Full name, address, and dates of birth of all vehicle occupants
• Any sovereign group or national affiliation, if provided
• Location of employment
• Where they are coming from and where they are going
• Any details regarding the visible contents of their vehicle
Oh heaven forbid. Independent people! The horror... "Paper terrorism", nice touch. The fear exuded in that little piece is amusing.
