    If the guy deems himself to be a sovereign citizen, not subject to the laws of the state, why is he even bothering to make a fake license plate for the car? By doing so he’s just abiding by a requirement of a system he’s claiming to not be bounded by? (In a second-grader with a crayon and paper kind of way).

      The beliefs of sovereign citizens are to law what magic is to science. Both believe that if you do the correct rituals and spells, you can ignore the laws of the land or the laws of nature, respectively.
