They are driving an unregistered car around a busy area. That makes them an irresponsible whole. Then they’re trying to pass that off with the stupidest pseudo intellectual bullshit. Even if it’s someone just borrowing that car, they’re still driving an unmarked vehicle around, which is a crime. Are you defending the criminal who is putting everyone else at risk for no good reason?

I agree that it's not good for some cars not to have license plates, but I don't view that as a moral imperative. No one is committing murder here.

Also, I have to note that illegal immigration leads to widespread violations of vehicle and traffic laws - are you equally enraged at those violations? My guess is most of the people piling on in this thread think those violations are unworthy of prosecution.

That’s a bad comparison and you know it. People who claim to be sovereign citizens are invariably all anti-social morons. Enjoy your trolling.

I think it's a perfectly reasonable comparison, but happy to be convinced otherwise if you think there's an important distinction here. (I'm politely overlooking your unfounded accusation that I'm arguing in bad faith.)

To repeat, I think this thread is filled with hypocrites who believe that a "sovereign citizen" violating vehicle and traffic laws is worthy of condemnation because they've been told to think of of those people as right-wing and contemptible, but the (more common) case of an illegal immigrant violating vehicle and traffic laws is exempt from condemnation because illegal immigration isn't supposed to be criticized.
