Packing for a Road Trip
When packing for a road trip do not forget multiple passports, multiple drivers’ licenses, and be sure to put the fake plates on the car. Do not forget the firearms and ammo.
Arrest made at Riverside County, CA Trump rally:
“What we do know is he showed up with multiple passports with different names. An unregistered vehicle with a fake license plate and loaded firearms. If you’re asking me right now, I probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt,” Bianco said.
Bianco continued and said the deputy noticed that the interior of the vehicle was “in quite disarray.” “The deputy also noticed the vehicle had an obviously fake license plate, and that prompted further investigation from our deputy into why the person was there and what he was doing.”
During the evaluation, Bianco said the deputy eventually found multiple passports with multiple names, multiple driver’s licenses with different names and that the vehicle was unregistered and the license plate “was what we in law enforcement would recognize as one that is homemade and indicative of a group of individuals that claimed to be ‘sovereign citizens.'”
Allegations of course, but pack light. Two passports and two licenses should be enough.

Are they for Harris, now?
Sounds like one of the “sovereign citizen” types. Among other things, they won’t acknowledge the government’s power to issue official documents like license plates and vehicle registrations, passports and drivers licenses etc. But they are also aware that they need these things to function in everyday life. Their compromise is to … forge isn’t the exact right term …
hmmmm…
’self-issue’ these documents.
The authorities (and most people) would call these things fake. But to the ‘sovereign citizen’ I guess they are genuine…having been issued by their sovereign self.
Hey, maybe Treadstone really exists. (oh, my sides…)
I’d imagine ‘sovereign citizens’ mostly echo Hawkeye in the film Last of the Mohicans … when asked if he considered himself a loyal subject of the King he replied “I don’t consider myself subject to much anything at all” So I think most probably don’t support either Harris or Trump.
Candidates are not responsible for supporters whose screws are improperly torqued.
Oh you silly person. :)
We all know that’s true only for Democratic candidates. Democratic candidates must never be questioned about any nutty or dangerous acts by supporters, no matter how close the supporter is to the candidate (even if married to the candidate), and regardless of how much of the Democratic candidate’s language and position the supporter espouses.
Republican candidates must answer for every act by every person who ever said anything supportive of the Republican candidate.
Or is “indicative of a group of individuals that claimed to be ‘sovereign citizens'” akin to “all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation” intended by authorities to distract us from the truth?
That was what it sounded like to me.
Back to the sarcasm in the OP:
Of course you travel with multiple identities. How else do you keep those points from adding up too high on only one driver’s license for your driving infractions? And carrying only one identity makes it too likely that an officer will act on one of the many outstanding warrants. Plus you need to have a method for avoiding the hotel and restaurant bills and the hotel charges for damages to their rooms from the parties.
Two identities doesn’t seem like enough. Should have at least 3 – 5. See Mr. Bourne’s experience noted above.

From a former police officers view assigning blame to a political candidate or campaign is really a province of journalists in this type of arrest. Any number of individuals self-identify themselves as being part of a movement. I never asked anyone on a traffic stop or an arrest where they went to church and their voting habits. It had nothing to with a citation or an arrest. They are going to lie to you, it’s their actions that matter, nothing else does. I never called their sixth-grade teacher to find out if they were a good kid and I didn’t care if they had started a hamster rescue shelter.
Released on bail. Nothing to see here.
Move along Citizen.
My guess is no. I’ve encountered (tangentially) some “sovereign citizens” who I considered profoundly Leftist. They were squatters in various properties … in Brooklyn near where I worked and in Portland where my son lives. Most of the things they’d say were most definitely hard left and their occupancy and asserted “ownership” of the properties involved fit nicely into their “power to the people” 60’s leftism.
The Sovereign Citizens movement is not organized in the same way Antifa is. Antifa operates on a cell system and preplans violent demonstrations. Sovereign Citizens is a mix of tax scams, refusal to register vehicles, and some squatting. There are some who may become violent when confronted.
Antifa is more organized but trusted operators are kept separate from followers that participate in violent protests. The trusted operators encourage and direct the mob, but they do not accept every member of the mob in the planning process.
