Its a fringe group of people (mostly) in the US who believe that the law isn’t the law. They either believe that older legal systems are still active, such as the articles of confederation, OE that the usage of certain terms in legal documents constitutes a hidden system.
The most common manifestation is the belief that they can declare themselves immune to some it all of our existing legal code.
They get made fun of a lot because they are fundamentally a kind of decentralized cult, and they do a lot of strange and stupid things. Unfortunately, they also have a habit of doing terrorism, so they are a legitimate danger and not just some fun weirdos.
That being said, they mostly try to print their own license plates and assert that speed limits do not apply to them because they are “free men living upon the land” and they believe they have a right to “travel” unimpeded. That’s why you see them mostly in videos of some idiot arguing with a cop that they were “traveling” and not “driving”.
These ideas has expanded to europe recently. There are several groups operating in slovakia, and czechia.
One of the group is arguing that the czechoslovakia never split up, and the existing republics are just private corporations. They issue their own “czechoslovak” ID cards. You can order one online.
The other group involves quite a lot of fantasy and scifi in their believes. They declare themselves as mebers of one of the several alien civilizations backed by the millions of space warriors.
One of their members has become infamous after the police stopped her for using a license plate issued by the galactic civilization. Then she tried to identify herself by presenting the ID card issued by the same institution.
that sounds almost exactly like the Reichsbürger in Germany. They also claim the current German state is actually just a corporation and the laws of the German empire are somehow still applicable. They also create their own passports. And of course they are deeply interconnected with Neo-nazis.
