V13P12 – Traffic Stops of Sovereign Citizens

During a broad daylight traffic stop, two officers are killed by a 16-year old boy with an AK- 47. The teen and his father were “sovereign citizens.” In this program we will discuss the sovereign citizen movement and look at what happened during this traffic stop. Making officers aware of these sovereigns is vital and the proclivity towards extreme violence of a minority of them. Analysis of the incident along with discussion of sovereign traits, beliefs and indicators to help identify this potentially dangerous group is also covered in this program.
