Ever hear of the 'Sovereign People’s Court of Las Vegas' before?

The hate is on

With extremism on the rise nationally, Nevada—and Las Vegas—are being closely watched by anti-terrorism groups

<snip>In March 2009, members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force raided the “Sovereign People’s Court of Las Vegas,” a makeshift courtroom operating in the back of a Vegas sign shop. Task- force members spent years infiltrating the group, sitting through seminars on how to declare “sovereignty” and pay off creditors with bogus documents—a hallmark of the sovereign movement. Following the raid, four men were arrested on charges ranging from money laundering to possession of unregistered machine guns. One was a former FBI agent; last month, he pleaded guilty to tax evasion. In the home of another, police discovered a crawl space stockpiled with hand grenades, rifles, night-vision goggles and food.

When sovereign citizens do end up in court, it’s a slow process—it’s hard to prosecute someone who feels they aren’t beholden to the law. Moreover, sovereign citizens often clog the court with wild legal filings—fraudulent and misused documents intended to frustrate or intimidate. It’s a practice so central to the sovereign movement that it has a name: “paper terrorism.”

Las Vegas: FBI Raid on the “Sovereign People’s Court”

10th March 2009

Excerpt: “More details revealed about those arrested in FBI raids Thursday”
March 6, 2009

The FBI raided a Las Vegas business Thursday because after hours it was the meeting place of the Sovereign People’s Court, a libertarian social organization with what some might call extreme anti-government views.

Its leader is Sam Davis whose name is on one of the Grand Jury indictments. He’s accused of laundering more than $500,000 that undercover agents said had been stolen from Wachovia.

Jan Lindsey is a former FBI agent himself who is featured in a documentary titled, “Freedom to Fascism”. It chronicles the legal battles of people who refused to pay their taxes. Lindsey was in court Thursday, refusing to acknowledge the judge’s jurisdiction.
