A guy I intentionally fell out contact with was at a mutual friend's BBQ a month or so ago. He explained to me that you actually don't need a driver's license and guaranteed that you could drive right into the city without one with no qualms if you knew the deal. He also explained how being in the infantry these days means you're gearing up to execute American citizens, and I finally about-faced when the words 'Jade Helm' came out of his mouth.
He is right. You can do all those things. The deal is, that if you get caught, you will be cited and not permitted to drive (or travel) after they impound your car or park it legally in a neighborhood where I am sure the vehicle will be safe. Then you will have a few months to practice up on your pseudo-legal jargon to amuse or annoy the judge who will hear your case.
What a deal!
But wait, there is more!
For a short time only, the police will throw in a brief introductory lesson in less than lethal force for those sovereign citizens or anyone else who truly believes they don't have to get out of their car when told to exit the vehicle.
That's not enough for you?
OK, then Officer Friendly will throw in a few extra charges for you and just maybe you will get a couple days of gray bologna sammiches with some green cool aid while you sit in cell with some new acquaintances. And if that isn't enough, and the judge you annoy doesn't feel like listening to your Internet fueled legal education, you get to talk to one of the the best paid public defenders the tax payers can provide.
Your Jade Helm consumed friend was correct. He really does know a great deal after watching a few hours of youtube videos.![]()

"I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."
