In the video, he calls himself a sovereign citizen, which is a group of people who believe they are immune to the government’s law and order.

The driver had been pulled over by police for driving without insurance and for having licence plates not issued by ICBC.

These people boggle the mind. Say that was a valid argument for not having insurance or licensing, so why do they think they're entitled to use the roads the government, which they don't support, paid for and maintains? They want all the benefits of government without having to support or pay for it? Absolute lunacy.

Because they are selfish. These are people who balk at any and all challenge.
