Sovereign citizens are technically correct, but they can only maintain that posture with extreme inconvenience -- it's a full-time job, and they have to be careful to avoid having any meaningful assets, because the US Gov won't hesitate to take action against perceived tax avoidance. Sovereigns can't directly hold title to any property, such as a house or car. If operating a motor vehicle, they must carry a notarized affidavit that validates their identity and affirms competence to operate a motor vehicle -- alternate documentation that satisfies the requirements of a "driver's license" without making one an implicit subject of the US Gov.
This "citizen" failed basic sovereign traffic stop protocol: windows up, doors locked, show paperwork, make specific demand (the exact phrasing is very important). I'm guessing the guy was self-taught, because the sovereign movement usually includes classes where you learn how to interact with the US Gov. Getting it wrong is an implicit agreement to be bound by US Law. Getting it right may still result in arrest, but the case will be thrown out when the judge decides it's not worth the trouble to untangle the "Sovereign Claim".
