/r/amibeingdetained is a subreddit devoted to showcasing the idiocy and ignorant behaviour of the self-proclaimed freemen on the land and sovereign citizens. The phrase "Am I being detained?" is a reference to a common catch-phrase used by these movements.

According to Wikipedia, Freemen on the Land are people who claim that all statute law is contractual, and that such law is applicable only if an individual consents to be governed by it. They believe that they can therefore declare themselves independent of government jurisdiction, holding that the only "true" law is common law, as they define it. The "Freeman on the land" movement has its origins in various United States-based groups in the 1970s and 1980s, reaching Ireland and the United Kingdom soon after 2000. The FBI considers those sovereign citizen extremists who tag themselves "Freemen" to be a domestic terrorist movement.

Essentially, these people believe that the law which governs them is the law they create themselves. Subsequent to becoming a freemen on the land, one will eventually discover that their philosophy has no merit in the court of law and that their shenanigans are laughed at as they are posted on websites such as YouTube.

While other subreddits are devoted to hating police and authority figures, this subreddit is in the interest of those who want to laugh at the spastic civilians on the other side of the policing spectrum.

Rules:

  • No fighting, hating, or abusing other people. Keep it friendly.
  • Don't stray away from the theme of idiotic civilians and freemen on the land; irrelevant posts are not welcome.

If you have any questions, just message the moderators. Please report any posts or comments that are against the rules. Thanks for viewing this subreddit, and please feel free to subscribe.

Litigants duped by fraudsters fight back, aka the continuing ballad of Kevin Kumar

So on the heels of the decisions in the collective Bonneville decisions all wrapped up in Bonneville 3 2 of the UnitedWeStandPeople.com victims are fighting back in what (I think) is the first instance of OPCA Victims bringing actions against the OPCA Gurus who fleeced them into bringing Actions on OPCA Grounds, specifically the Wet Ink Contract and securitization arguments. Should be interesting to see how this plays out. The Actions have now been moved to Edmonton and are ordered tried together.

I think I hurt myself laughing. This is awesome: Ode to Miranda

I was commenting on Americans' obsession with Miranda warnings in another thread and I started thinking of it as ritual legal poetry. Why not then ask CoPilot (microsoft's AI) to put Miranda in sonnet form. The title is my addition:

Ode to Miranda

When you are held, your rights you must be told,
To silence, first, you have the right to claim,
And anything you say, in truth or bold,
Can be used in court to stake your name.

You have the right to counsel by your side,
If you cannot afford, one will be found,
To guide you through the legal ebb and tide,
Ensuring that your rights remain unbound.

Do you now understand these rights I’ve read?
With these in mind, will you speak or refrain?
Your choice is yours, with caution to be led,
For every word may bring you joy or pain.

Thus, know your rights, and choose your path with care,
For justice seeks the truth, both pure and fair.

Why the hate for people that just want to be left alone?

I 100% understand that some people don't go about things the right way, or the way you would like them to, got it.

I just don't understand why it is that in the land of the free, there is so much hate for people that just want to be left alone. As I understand it "Am I being detained?" is the most non-confrontational way to determine if a LEO thinks the interaction is consensual interaction or a detainment. If we are to simply assume that we as citizens are always detained, that kinda sucks.

While some of the legal statements used seem silly, "sovereign citizens" as they are often labeled, seem to be about the most peaceful protestors for freedom around. What do you do to ensure our rights are respected, what are your suggestions?

************************************************************************************************

Edit/clarification. Most of what I know about "sovereign citizens" is when a citizen attempts to exercise his/her rights, then the LEO comes back with "What, are you a sovereign citizen?" as if it is a bad thing to exercise one's freedom.... frequently this is followed by an increase in the use of force. Based on this observation, it seems that "sovereign citizen" is a slur applied to people who respect the constitution.

I can appreciate that we all share the roads and there is an genuine interest in keeping those roads safe and well maintained. This just seems to be a very hateful group and I'm not sure why it popped in my feed.

This guy claims that he is a "sovereign of the constitution" and the police searching his pockets is "an act of treason of the united states constitution" 😂
