Sovereign Citizens

Sovereign Citizens are individuals who believe they are not bound by government laws and authority, often asserting legal and constitutional claims to reject taxes, licenses, or government regulations. They typically claim personal sovereignty or independence from state and federal systems, using occasionally complex legal arguments to challenge authority. While many these beliefs are unfounded and can lead to unlawful actions, they stem from a desire for personal liberty. Law enforcement and legal authorities view Sovereign Citizens as a potential security concern due to their propensity to resist or confront legitimate government functions.
