You could go the presidential jester route and viscous mockery

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 weeks ago

I smile disarmingly and cast charm person on the judge.

Sir this is a court room, in the real world; also my wisdom save is off the charts.

Ow! My subjugation!

I am mentis compos, fully competent to handle my own commercial and legal affairs, and I comprehend the nature and substance of this matter.

X to doubt.

I'm in the U.S. and have a friend that serves court papers for the local county, and when people try this shit the court will often just enter a "not guilty" plea because it's a preliminary hearing.

When trial starts and they try this again, or they just don't show up, is where they start to get in real trouble. He said most of them will change their mind about being sovereign citizen after they start to spend some time in jail.

Judge at court again in a few days: Mmmkayyyy. So, moving to summary judgment...

Thank you for providing the monthly bullshit filter test. Everything is fine. I physically cannot read any of the second paragraph. My eyes dart straight to the third.

Whereupon they furrowed their brows for a moment then looked at each other with a raised eyebrow and a long sigh.

'Ah, it's one of these buffoons'.

"I do not appear to represent myself or about myself, and I am fully competent"

So you're.. fully competent but not there mentally?

Haha, sovcits literally think laws are magic.

That second court date is probably to establish fitness to stand trial (sanity in other words lol)

P.s: Am not lawyer

I'd love to hear his pronunciation of "sui juris" and "mentis compos".

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Mental compost, got it.

If they don't respect the laws, why do they respect the courts??

Has this shit ever worked lol

It's not infrequent that people will just dismiss whatever these people are brining because it's not worth it to deal with their infinite heaps of bullshit. Much less common in the court system, but it still does happen sometimes. Add to it that a lot of SovCits just lie, having been forced to pay the fine or w/e, then will go on facebook and claim it was their word soup that did it and "hey guys, I totally didn't have to pay using this one weird trick! Give me social capital!" and so on, and you project a pretty tempting image of what the SovCit Secret Arts can do for you!

By the time I read as far as pro se, pro per, my girlfriend asked me what I was laughing at

What court do they ask "how do you stand" in?
