Sovereign citizens are a growing movement in Australia of individuals who reject the authority of government, police and courts, believing laws don't apply to them without their consent. The movement gained prominence after cop killer Desi Freeman, with police particularly concerned about armed members who sympathise with Freeman and pose risks to officers. Law enforcement agencies across Australia are now taking action, including revoking gun licences of sovereign citizen group members, as they work to understand the scale and danger of this organised network that has connections spanning from suburban areas to rural fringes.
