The reason theories like that sound so crazy is that they posit a government that ignores the rules entirely until someone points them out. It’s like reading the Soviet Constitution, noticing it doesn’t allow gulags, and expecting Stalin to let you go once you mention that to his goon squad.
It just isn’t self-consistent. A government that plays by no rules makes sense. A government that blindly obeys arbitrary rules makes sense. A government that alternates between the two based on magic words (Sovereign Citizen, Fourteenth Amendment Citizen, Strawman, “lien draft” as used by Leroy Schweitzer, etc.) doesn’t make sense.
Well, we’ve got World’s Wildest Police Videos and such that occasionally do show felons getting away and cops losing it and getting assaulted (and in one case, attacked by three creeps, dragged out of camera range and murdered). If you prefer, watch these shows instead of COPS.
