Police: Sovereign citizen attempts to reach for gun while resisting arrest in Slidell

A man identifying as a sovereign citizen resisted arrest during a traffic stop and attempted to reach for a gun, a news release from Slidell police says.

According to the release, officers initiated a traffic stop after observing a green Ford Ranger driven by James Doyle Webb violating several traffic laws on Fremaux Avenue.

Webb, 54, 5129 1st Ave. D, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, ignored the officers’ request to see his driver’s license, registration and insurance, instead asking for the officers’ names and badge numbers, the release says.

After providing their names and badge numbers, the release says, the officers again requested to see Webb’s documents, which he again refused to produce. Webb instead took out a small notepad and wrote he was a “free traveler," and not required to give the officers any information because they did not have legal authority over him.

[font color=330099]The last paragraph in the article indicates that Webb claims to be an explosives expert. Sounds like the police nabbed a terrorist instead.[/font]

Google "sovereign citizens" for much more and longer compilations of these idiot douche bags.

Let's start with this one, about 20:00 of doucheness:



You are on your own for more hilarity.


And the sovereign citizens are on their way to jail, one would suppose (and hope).

What's remarkable is that they actually record themselves! And then post the results on the INet! Prosecutor says thank you very much.
