"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. "

Pretty sure it's not an official plate. The sovereign citizens will print their own. Sometimes like this in an effort to fool cops into thinking its a regular plate so they don't get pulled over.

🤣🤣 "for a North American automatic covered wagon" the fucking mental gymnastics.....jfc.....

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

Must be in a red state. Report it to the Confederate overlords please.

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?

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 ~~½-¼~~ 1/10 the cost of the gallon.

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.

How the hell is it exempt? Can you just pay for that?
