It's been some time since I did a sovereign citizen "show & tell," but I found some interesting images recently, so I'm sharing.
The sovereign citizen movement is an extreme anti-gov't movement whose adherents believe that our gov't is illegitimate & has no authority over them.

The sovereign citizen movement has more required reading than most other extremist movements--and all these manuals are expensive. 
However, once you become a sovereign citizen, you can do all sorts of cool things, like making your own license plates (because real ones, of course, are illegitimate).
Let's see some more. References to "private" are common because sovereigns believe only commercial vehicles are subject to motor vehicle laws, regulations, etc., while "private" travelers are not.
The sovereign citizen movement started in the U.S. but has spread to many other countries by now, so naturally one can find sovereign citizen plates in places like Australia, too!
Some sovereign citizens are nice enough to share templates for license plates so that others may make their own.
Of course, if you have bogus license plates, why not have bogus IDs and citizenships as well?
Sovereign citizens also create bogus financial instruments, which they use for a variety of purposes--sometimes protests but typically criminal.
Sovereigns sometimes carry helpful summaries that they can show to others; that is what is on the left. I'm not 100% sure what the function is for the card on the right.
For decades, sovereign citizens have created their own "no trespassing" signs, typically directed at gov't/law enforcement.
This is the first "Confederate" one I've seen--and also the first Australian one.

Sovereign citizens often refuse to comply with requests from the government. And they will make their own lengthy filings in court, sometimes handwritten. Note the King/Queen's Bench reference for a Pennsylvania document.
Sovereign citizens have many unusual ways of writing addresses and place names, but I have never seen this variety before:
land known as montgomery
among a land known as texas
land known as montgomery
among a land known as texas
I've mentioned before that sovereign citizens also have their own version of the American flag, often called the "Flag of Peace."
Finally, when one peruses sovereign citizen spaces, one can also learn a variety of other, non-sovereign-but-interesting things, like these health-related announcements. The one on the right seems to be from the 1950s.
