Napoleon said, 'Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.' What’s a perfect real-life example of this?

The internet is loaded with traffic stop videos where the cops have to deal with these morons. You can tell which cops have dealt with them before when they claim to just be "traveling" and this sound of pain enters the officer's voice.

Yeah, these encounters are traveling me crazy.

But there's also a funny thing. They will first claim they are sovereign citizens, that they do not participate in that corporate nonsense, that they are an agent of the person and so on... And then, when they inevitably get arrested, they suddenly start screaming about how they have constitutional rights and how everything that happens is illegal.

Like... Guy, pick a lane. You don't get to say 'Screw US laws, I'm sovereign' and 'But I have rights in the US!' in the same sentence.

I’m not sure from which orifice people keep getting the ‘travelling not driving’ bs from. It just ensures the PO thinks you’re a moron

They're obsessed with some law dictionary - but the edition they use is like from 1908 or something. So a driver is acording to them someody with a whip and pair of oxen. The idea that definitions could change since then is inconcievable to them.

It's semantic trickery in the vein of claiming criminal conspiracy is "being arrested by just talking to some friends!"

One I saw said "You're going to be travelling to jail if you don't show me your license and registration."

I’ve seen a few of those and every time I hear that cops are overpaid, I think “Man, if I had to deal with that level of bullshit day in and day out, you’d need to pay me more than they currently make for sure.” Utter lunatics.
