A question from Jack.

"In the United States, there are some laws that, even though they are long-established, can sometimes be found unconstitutional. Do sovereign citizens have a validity to their argument of not having to get a driver's license to drive a car, car insurance and plates on their vehicle, making their own custom plates or not paying their taxes?

Part two, have you ever defended a sovereign citizen before?

And part three, if you have a client who is a sovereign citizen who got charged with crimes for not having a driver's license, car insurance, legal plates on their vehicle, but your client demands that you defend him as innocent because he genuinely believes that he is operating under separate laws, how would you handle his case?"

The answers in this episode.
