Sovereign Citizen speeding at 90mph,chased by cop, refuses to pull over until cops pay her $300,000.



This woman calls 911 from her car, complaining that a cop is tailing her.

She says, she has a contract with the police or whatever that if they pull her over without there being an emergency, the cops are gonna owe her $300,000.

So, she's speeding at 90mph, running stop-signs, all the while complaining to 911 that the other cop is chasing her without good reason because she doesn't see an emergency. And as this isn't an emergency in her opinion, she won't stop until the cops pay her $300,000.

She eventually drove the car into a ditch. She left the car, argued with the cops, and got back in. The cops told her to get out of the vehicle. She told them she won't unless they pay her $300,000. So they dragged her out.

Had his hands showing in the wheel, did exactly what the officer said, and was immediately shot dead. Or Tamir rice, shot dead within seconds while playing in a park.

one of whom was a "sovereign citizen." He was always claiming that we could not take any taxes out of his paycheck because he did not agree to it and that he had a letter on an attorney's letterhead that backed him up. We pretty much just ignored him, except on those occasions when he thought he could get in our faces about it....Bottom line is that we didn't have to contend with it for very long, as he didn't last long in the company....

But I noticed it happened in 2012.

These nutcases have been with us for a while. They have just been given community and purpose by right wing media and Trump.

IIRC when they finally got her to jail they did a sobriety test and she was way over the legal limit.
