used as pretexts for other actions ranging from "paper terrorism"-style harassment to the sort of arrests threatened here. Common law courts in the sovcit movement date back to the late 1970s but became a huge fad in the movement in the 1990s, when scores of them sprung up. This

resulted in a lot of arrests, deflating the fad, so the only have appeared occasionally since (though they do create similar entities, including county assemblies and jural societies). Another thing the sovereign citizen frequently does, like the "constables" here, is to create

bogus law enforcement officers (and occasionally entire fake law enforcement agencies).
