The trial heard the “statement of notice” the woman handed to the care worker asserted she was “a living being sovereign to this land” who “hereby renounce and reject my former engagement with the courts… and their kronies (sic)… and disregard all orders as null and void”.

Throughout the trial the woman regularly interrupted the proceedings, resulting in Judge Haesler finding her in contempt of court.

“[She] repeatedly interjected, directed personal insults to me and others, harassed witnesses (including her own [children]), refused my directions and orders and talked over me excessively,” Judge Haesler wrote in a scathing judgement.

    I think you most commonly encounter them in tax-related situations.

    I know someone who works for the local government and issues notices for local taxes. In some ways it’s a fairly natural progression to go from not wanting to pay your taxes to inventing some bonkers ideology explaining why you in fact do not need to pay taxes.
