Sovereign citizens are anti-government extremists, who may believe that even though they physically reside in this country, they are separate or “sovereign” from the United States. As a result, they may believe they do not have to answer to any government authority, including courts, taxing entities, motor vehicle departments, or law enforcement.
This causes all kinds of potential problems—and possible crimes. According to research, for example, many sovereign citizens do not pay their taxes. They hold illegal courts that issue warrants for judges and police officers. They clog up the court system with frivolous lawsuits and liens against public officials to harass them. And they use fake money orders, personal checks, and the like at government agencies, banks, and businesses.
That is just the beginning. Not every action taken in the name of the sovereign citizen ideology is a crime, but the list of illegal actions committed by these groups, cells, and individuals is extensive (and puts them squarely on the homeland security and law enforcement radar). In addition to the above, sovereign citizens may:
Commit murder and physical assault;
Threaten judges, law enforcement professionals, and government personnel;
Impersonate police officers and diplomats;
Use fake currency, passports, license plates, and driver’s licenses; and
Engineer various white-collar scams, including mortgage fraud and so-called “redemption” schemes.
Assume the following: The year is 2013. You are a law enforcement officer or Department of Homeland Security agent serving in a major metropolitan area. There has been a sovereign extremist terrorist attack by a member of the Sovereign Citizen movement, where a self-acclaimed Sovereign Citizen has just gunned down 10 fellow officers and 5 civilians.
The Sovereign Citizen is apprehended and brought to your office. Your commanding officer informs you the suspect absolutely has information as to where, sometime the next 24 hours, two more such terrorist attacks (of the same type) will occur at separate metropolitan locations in the United States.
Your commanding officer gives you a direct order: “You get that information from this person, and I don’t care how you get it. We may not have 24 hours; we may not have 24 minutes. Get it done.”
Based on what you have reviewed in this course and in your educational journey to this point in your studies, what is acceptable under these extreme circumstances to extract this information?
Is the Sovereign Citizen extremist who has renounced their citizenship entitled to the Bill of Rights protections?
Why or why not?
