Re: Sovereign Citizens sues for 15 Million
This was covered in the following thread:
http://quatloos.com/Q-Forum/viewtopic.p ... it=bicycle
His name is Robert Peterson, this happened in Idaho in August 2012. His courthouse behavior escalated a trifling traffic ticket (for riding his bicycle after dark without a headlight!) into a felony.
It appears that he copped a plea that did not impose any jail time:

No word at all on his threat to bring a lawsuit, which I suppose was derailed by his own plea.
He evidently is a member of the local Constitution Party:

There was an Idaho news report about 6 months ago about 'Sovereigns" in Idaho setting up in foreclosed houses, to which they have no legal right, and one of them was a "young man" named Robert Peterson, but the report did not breathe a hint that it was the same guy as the taser incident.

Thanks for the links.
I wonder if the court could impose a fine for a frivolous law suit.

Sanctions for frivolous suits are rare. IMHO the courts are far too lenient when it comes to letting bozos play their games with the system.

Re: Sovereign Citizens sues for 15 Million
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these sovrunidjits are judgment-proof, or close to it; but the court could, I suppose, make them sell their favorite toys (even if they don't bring much) and then enjoin them against buying them back.

Re: Sovereign Citizens sues for 15 Million
I think he was indeed associated to the foreclosed homes misadventure. The ABC news story Fortinbras posted includes this bit:
But putting his beliefs into practice has produced non-stop conflict for Peterson. Aside from arguing traffic violations, he at one point declared a nearby $370,000-foreclosed home to be his property. He even put a sign out front that said "this is my spot now."
Apparently the local sheriff talked him out of there and he's back living with mom.
