Cross posting this from the schadenfreude thread. A sovereign citizen discovers that his citizen of the several states real flesh not of admiralty and not joined by showing his ID self is bound by the laws of electricity after all.

I really can't stop watching this. My new favorite - the .2 seconds that P. Barnes gives him between "step back" and TAZER POWER!

It's kind of like knock and enter - yeah, he technically warned him to step back, but that dude was getting tazed. P. Barnes was going to put a man down like the loving badass that he is.

Don't confuse my previous post with having an anti-authority bent. I'm pro-P. Barnes here. I think it is just hilarious how he went through the mental checklist so calmly. Inside P. Barnes's head: "Okay, I suppose I need to at least give clear warning before I zap this irritating shithead."

"Step back."

.2 seconds

ZAP!

Oh yeah, I'm with you 100%. I was just saying that Barnes had been dealing with this rear end in a top hat for quite a while that day. Considering all the bullshit at the metal detectors earlier and the dude's mom, it's pretty impressive he had that much restraint.

Opposing counsel just told me his client had decided not to produce documents and things. No objection, just not gonna do it. My response was that the client had just opened an escape hatch and that opposing counsel should use it before he gets personally caught up in the sanctions and contempt orders.

I've mentioned it briefly (and I don't want to go into too much detail), but basically this person showed up at our chambers several times to "serve" us and eventually had to be escorted out by the sheriffs. Also the appeal was such a work of art that I keep a copy in my desk for whenever I need cheering up.

When I was clerking for my old firm a 'Moor' filed several frivolous motions in our case. When it was dismissed he reported all the attorneys involved to the ARDC and tried to file a lien on the judge's home. No repercussions.

The complaint itself alleged a sufficient 1983 claim, so it couldn't get dismissed. This led to several motions where we were forced to respond to his assertion that Admiralty law should govern, that the court must recognize the Moorish holy book as binding authority, and the plaintiff was entitled to have full control over the City of Chicago's budget.

Another 'Moor' was just found guilty on 10 felony counts in Chicago last week for filing frivolous liens on just about every judge in the Northern District of Illinois
