Police: Mississippi man claimed to be immune from arrest

Updated 9:32 pm, Saturday, September 3, 2016

SLIDELL, La. (AP) — Police in Louisiana say a Mississippi man claimed to be a "sovereign citizen" who's immune from arrest during a traffic stop.

Slidell officers on Friday charged 54-year-old James Doyle Webb of Bay St. Louis with several violations, including not having a driver's license, a license plate or insurance. He was also charged with resisting an officer.

. . .

A news release from the Slidell Police Department says Webb requested the names and badge numbers of officers who stopped him, then would not produce documents officers requested after he wrote down their information. The release says he was arrested after officers thought he was reaching for a gun.

Instead of a license, he had a homemade "Constitutional Protection Travel Identification."

1. These guys are idiots and can be dangerous

[Chakab]

24. They're responsible for a lot of attacks on law enforcement because, obviously, they don't like

being pulled over while driving around unlicensed without any sort of government issued ID.

Funny how we've never heard the "blue lives matter" crowd call them out.

[SCantiGOP]

30. He can win in the end

He will be free to scream every day of his sentence that he is a political prisoner in an illegal jail.

[TipTok]

2. Amazing how all the sovereign citizen garbage...

... Gives them all the privileges of citizenship and none of the responsibility.

Funny how that works out

[meow2u3]

22. You nailed it in a neat, simple way

[Sand Rat Expat]

26. I know right? Pretty sweet gig. NT

[SCantiGOP]

31. Drop the charges against this sovereign citizen

But fine him $1,000 a day for driving on "our" roads.

[TexasTowelie]

3. He also claimed to be an explosives expert

which is code for being a terrorist.

4. Aren't these the people Trump needs to state should leave the USA?

[bluestateguy]

5. Stupid white male thug

Trump, Hannity please denounce.

[MrScorpio]

6. Anytime I hear someone call themselves a "sovereign citizen..."

I fully expect them to use it as an excuse to be an asshole.

[Judi Lynn]

12. That's it. Have never seen ANY evidence to the contrary. n/t

[longship]

7. Sovereign citizen hilarity!

And this is one of the shorter compilations of their abject idiocy.

Google has much more. The idiots think that recording and posting their utter foolishness on the INet helps their case.

They always lose!

[Granny M]

9. Hilarious.

"Is speeding a crime?" "Am I driving??" "No, I'm not. I'm travelling." Moron.

[longship]

10. "I do not consent!"

Tell that to the judge! You are under arrest, asshole idiot!

[JohnnyRingo]

13. To quote several of them when finally hit with the juice....

..."Oh shit".

Everybody knows if you tell a cop you're a sovereign citizen while rubbing your head and patting your belly they have to let you go.

[Sand Rat Expat]

27. Only if the moon's in the gibbous phase, though.

Any other phase and you have to stand on one foot while rubbing your head and patting your belly.

[tblue37]

15. They apparently think that yelling, "I do not consent!" is all it takes to prevent

police officers from arresting them. That is actually funny as heck.

[Granny M]

8. Immunity not working.

"You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. Another Sam Elliott clone....

The dude resides.....in jail.

[marble falls]

14. One of my favorite "soveriegn citizen" in court videos:

[tblue37]

16. Wow, that lawyer for the state is a terrible speaker. Someone needs to get her a

speech coach. She looks young--maybe she has little or no experience in court.

[Enrique]

21. one of the commenters points out this resemblence...

[Enrique]

20. does he get around to explaining the stick?

i'm wondering how much I should watch...

[Moliere]

17. Have you heard of Paper Terrorism?

These assholes are dangerous

This article on SPLC is an excellent intro

sovereign-citizens-movement

[Historic NY]

18. They should be on a deportation list.

[FLPanhandle]

19. The internet is a dangerous thing for the gullible

Sovereign Citizens
Anti-Vax
Conspiracy loons

They all can easily meet up and reinforce their beliefs to each other and spread bullshit.

[pepperbear]

23. all "laughing at the silly redneck" aside....

"The release says he was arrested after officers thought he was reaching for a gun."

this shit is getting old.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. White privilege to be rarely shot by a cop. . . . nt

[packman]

25. O.K. - Let's take bets on

(1) Does this wackadoodle pay any taxes - Federal, state, local, property, etc.?
(2) Does this wackadoodle collect any benefits from any federal, state or local agencies?


Love to learn how he lives, where he lives, etc.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Deport them to westernmost Aleutian Isl & let them reapply for citizenship when they're ready. nt

[SCantiGOP]

32. In college dorms, in the 70s

There were two ridiculous ideas that most stoners would repeat as fact:
1- a narc could not lie to you if you asked him/her directly if they were law enforcement officers,
2- you couldn't be arrested for pot on a Sunday because they couldn't issue a warrant and couldn't detain you until Monday without one.

To their credit, as opposed to the legal geniuses in the video, they were really, really high when they were saying this, and none ever tried to test the hypotheses.

33. Drop him off the coast of Syria and tell him to go practice his Sovereign Citizenship.

[Kennah]

34. They Are The Top Threat Facing Law Enforcement

On July 17, in the second (at least) targeted attack on police in just over a week, 29-year-old Gavin Long shot six cops, three fatally, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The former Marine had posted YouTube selfie videos in which he commented on the need to respond to "oppression" with "bloodshed," and praised the recent shooting of 11 officers in Dallas as "justice." Long also appears to have been part of the so-called "sovereign citizen" movement.
...
In a 2015 survey of nearly 400 law enforcement agencies by the Police Executive Research Forum, a law enforcement research group, 74 percent said they considered sovereign citizens to be the top threat facing law enforcement.
