History, which includes their own prior bad actions and run-ins, does not concern them. Their reptilian brains are in control and it’s full steam ahead.

Way down on the reasons why his car is in violation, but:
Pretty sure having the word POLICE in huge letters on your car (whether of not VACCINE precedes it) has got to be completely illegal. Wouldn’t that alone get your car stopped and impounded? Unless, of course, the cop was also white and anti-vax— in which case he gets a Rittenhauspass (a wave, congratulations, and no action taken).

I’m not 100% certain. Just having the word POLICE written on your car may not be enough in some states. For what it’s worth there’s a short article on Findlaw about this. [Consider: if you had a bumper sticker in a certain shade of blue with the words POLICE BOX written on it on your car, I don’t think people would assume you were impersonating a police officer. They’d just think you were a fan of Doctor Who.]
I think the main point his defense would raise at his trial (after his sovereign citizen claims were thrown out by the judge) would be that the car looks different enough from a police car that it alone would fail to rise to the level of impersonation IMO. Now the fact that he’s gone around claiming he was going to arrest politicians likely would be the prosecution’s claim that yes, he intended to deceive people into thinking they should “respect his authoritay!”

Especially if people think the VACCINE POLICE are there to enforce any vaccine mandate.
It would be such a shame for this guy if that rumor got started.

That’s the thing. Libertarians don’t think that society exists. Only individuals exist. We’re talking about people who not only think that drivers licenses are an infringement, they believe that car manufacturers should be able to make gas tanks out of matchsticks and we’ll just pick the vehicles that kill the fewest amount of people. No FAA - we’ll choose the airline that has the fewest planes falling out of the sky.
All roads should be basically private and have tolls, public/state/national parks are theft, taxes are theft, etc, etc…

That’s pretty typical of Sovereign Citizens. They think laws don’t apply to them, and they love to file frivolous lawsuits thinking that will somehow accomplish whatever it is they want. They are also one of the top cop killers.

I’m pretty sure most Americans have read it in school.
But just that once, & never again.
I say that most Americans don’t understand it; it is a list of things that Government can’t do.
It is not a list of things that the residents can’t do… so when someone says ‘You can’t do X because X isn’t in the Constitution.’, well, there’s an Amendment that says differently:
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
IOW, unless it is specifically forbidden, it is allowed… and this is exactly opposite to what some people seem to think.
I don’t think certain current members of the SCOTUS have more than a hamster’s comprehension of the Constitution & have no business being in that position of power.

I’m pretty sure that’s not true. In my government class in high school, I’m sure we read parts of it, but we absolutely did not go through the whole thing.
I might not disagree with you, but it’s irrelevant. In the words of former Justice Jackson, “We are not final because we are infallible, but we are infallible only because we are final.” In other words, their interpretation of the Constitution, whether or not it makes sense to you or me, is the only one that matters.
ETA: I’m currently in law school. I took Constitutional Law, a required course, a year ago, over two semesters. We skipped the First Amendment. It was supposed to be the final unit of the course, but we got behind and ran out of time. The professor said it was ok, because the school has a separate course that’s just on the First Amendment. The problem is, that course is an elective, and I won’t take it because that’s not the kind of law I’m going into. What I’m saying is, I took a year long course on the Constitution at a major US law school, and we didn’t even read the entire Constitution in that class. If you think all American high school students are reading the entire Constitution, I have a bridge you might be interested in buying.

To drive a wagon you need the same driving license you need for a sedan.

I remember that we went thru the whole thing, but just that once, and the class was one hour.
Compared to that one hour that I had in high school.
The point being, education on the Constitution in high school is perfunctory, at best.
I did say most, not all…
Hmmm… wouldn’t this offer be larceny of some sort? Or mere fraud? 
Besides, I got no where to put the thing, so thanks, but no thanks. 
ETA:
Damn, I sure hope it was!
Good luck to you, though.
ETA more:
Until it is revisited by another Court, further down the line…

We did a whole unit on the Constitution in 8th grade* using this book [pardon the Amazon link].

Yeah I went to public school in Texas. We spent a lot more time learning Texas Propaganda…I mean History, than we did US History or government.
