It's always these people trespassing on other people's property and then wondering why there's consequences.
It's not even that hard to get permission. Just register for use of the roads, chip in your money to keep them open and running, and you get to use the government's property all you like! Just respect their rules like you would any property owner, and you can ~~drive~~ travel on their roads as much as you need. If it were anyone else's roads, you'd probably get denied and then shot unless you paid a huge access fee. Use of state property is amazingly easy and reasonable.
It's not even being able to use them, anyone has the right to travel on foot or by non-motorized bike. It's specifically driving heavy machinery that can tear up the roads or injure someone you need a license for (ie, a car). Though even then, there are still rules to follow as a pedestrian.
That's a good point.
And on a relatable thought tangent; I wonde, how many SovCits have hit a pothole and complained about how crap the road is?
"Someone needs to do something about this. But not me, I just use the thing, I'm not responsible."
I’m sure that happens frequently.
I want to learn about the sovcits on disability or receiving social security, lol.
Depends heavily on who you are and how much money you actually have. A lot of these SovCits are poor, uneducated, and disconnected from their neighbors. They're easy marks for legal con-men and law enforcement alike.
If you've never had to deal with the legal system before and suddenly you're at risk of getting your car impounded or your home foreclosed, you'll be a prime target for these esoteric theories. And, at some point, you have to recognize the legal system as a social construct. It works because we all agree it works. If you're dealing with a guy from rural Tennessee or small town West Texas - someone who never graduated 8th grade, spent half his life working a gas well or stocking shelves, and whose primary source of news is AM talk radio - they aren't going to have the background or the incentive to integrate with a modern system. Particularly not one owned and operated by some thugs in law enforcement or a snob judge more interested in a shake down than a fair shake.
You're back to the old Lockean Social Contract. And once you scrape off all the gibberish, that's what you're really fighting over.
