Sovereign Citizens Movement

The Sovereign Citizens Movement is a loosely organized group of individuals who believe they are exempt from government laws and authorities, often claiming legal or constitutional rights that are not recognized by courts. They typically reject the legitimacy of government institutions, including courts, tax authorities, and law enforcement, asserting that personal sovereignty or natural rights override statutory laws. While many members hold this ideology as a form of civil disobedience, some have engaged in illegal activities such as tax evasion, threats, or confrontations with authorities. Their beliefs are generally based on misinterpretations of legal texts and constitutional principles.
