At the core of sovereign citizen beliefs is the denial of the legitimacy of the government. They do not believe they must obey any laws, nor that they can be held to account for lawbreaking.
Yes, there are a bunch of people claiming to know loopholes in the law through which they don’t need a license to drive and the county sheriff (who will absolutely arrest them for driving without a license) is the supreme authority.

Good point. It’s not news that “you learned” something. What is your conclusion?. What is your reasoning? If it’s been said before, we can just read that.
They didn’t even bring up the actual alarming issue of sheriff’s who think they are the supreme authority of the land either. Very weird article, it’s like someone missed an entire decade.
