"I gave the government extra money for a vanity plate so that I can tell the world that I don’t support or recognize the government. "
It’s not a customized plate, it’s just straight up fake. Sov citizens buy them, and cops often don’t even pull then over because they’re so fucking annoying to deal with.
How is handcuffing and unceremoniously throwing someone in jail annoying?
Just a guess, but it’s probably just because the person would end up throwing a tantrum. “YOU CAN’T ARREST ME! I’M BEING ARRESTED! I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG! WHERE’S YOUR PROOF!” (Or something like that.) As anyone around them tries to ignore the guy shouting at the top of his lungs and trying to do his best not to get handcuffed.
In America I have the right to travel FOR FREE! recites garbage thinking they’re a lawyer.
Yeah, the right to travel. No restrictions against travel. You are very welcome to walk on over to another state for free. You can ask your friend for a ride and go over there. It’s just if you want to drive your own personal car on public roads, you have to pay to register it. Oh, did you not think that they obviously included that in the lawbooks? I’m sorry to burst your bubble but actual lawyers covered their asses, Jimmy Youtuber didn’t find out one sick way around it.
I’m not sure the book has been closed on this one. You don’t have to be a sov citizen to read the constitution and know that laws get passed all the time that violate civil rights for instance. Laws get overturned when they are challenged and someone has standing. Appeals courts are issuing rulings all the time that reverse what many assume was iron clad and untouchable. Jimmy YouTuber could be wrong but if he tests it and appeals with standing, we might just be surprised by the outcome.
You can drive all you want on private land without having a license or insurance or registering your car. Some states even have tax-free fuel (especially diesel) you can buy for ag equipment, since the fuel tax is for maintaining roads.
But when you use public roads you have to follow the rules and pitch in towards their maintenance.
All true. Most of the argument about free travel isn’t about taxes per se. It’s about being able to travel on those for which you paid taxes without further restrictive encumbrance. I’m sorry arguing for that but at the same time I understand the constitutional case for it.
I can guarantee you that most of the right-to-travel people are also 100% against taxes of any kind. I have a coworker who believes no one should need a license or car registration and is also fully against any kind of taxes whatsoever. If you mention public roads he just says “we made do without them before”.
Is his name Cletus by any chance?
Are lawyers taking up cases about stuff like whether the government has a right to mandate holding a driver’s license to legally drive?
To be fair, this dude is also paying taxes, even if he’s trying not to.
Imagine telling this guy what that little third 9 in the price of his fuel means. Think he might switch to electric?
OOTL: what is it supposed to mean?
The reason it’s there, that 9/10 of a cent or pence or w.e is the same reason why lot’s of prices are $XX.99. It seems like it’s a lot cheaper than the 1 cent or 1/10th of a cent that it actually is. For fuel specifically, it started to be added so that gas stations could pay new taxes implemented in 1934(USA), but still make a profit. Back then the cost/gal of fuel was pennies, so adding a full cent to the cost to cover those taxes was deemed a deal breaker, since sometimes it would be
½-¼1/10 the cost of the gallon.
Must be in a red state. Report it to the Confederate overlords please.
With that plate, could be a sovcit lunatic.

This why I always carry a red crayon to mark a 45° line across their driver-side window. Then they can never drive it again.
Just don’t let them see the crayon, they will try to eat it

Do we have an infowarriors community yet? It’s much more that than since the leopards haven’t apparently eaten their face yet.
I’d prefer a Knowledge Fight community. This will help deter actual AJ fans from showing up by as much as 5%
Faces are a dish best served cold
I like mine with some fava beans and Chianti
Whoa, look at the butt on that
And a cheap dinner candle.
Perhaps some lotion as well?
How the hell is it exempt? Can you just pay for that?
It’s not actually exempt. You can buy those plates on the internet.
