CW: NZ - Sovereign citizens and guns
The NZ Police manual has been updated. In future, officers who encounter sovereign citizens and learn they hold a firearms licence are to refer the individuals to the Firearms Safety Authority for review.
Furthermore, "... where an officer suspects an individual represents a security threat, they should contact the National Security Group at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet."
The days of treating cookers as harmless cranks are ending.

Dezi Freeman killed by police in Victoria's north-east after seven-month hunt
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-30/vic-dezi-freeman-search-fatal-shooting/106510112"Sovereign Citizen" fanatic, Dezi Freeman, has been found and killed by police. I'm not a fan of the police shooting people dead, and would have preferred they arrested him and put him on trial. Sure, you could argue the community is safer without a murderous, gun-toting, SovCit on the loose. To add to my concerns, I think he's going to be mythologised by SovCit folks as a hero who fought the system and went out in a blaze of glory.
Back in August last year, Dezi Freeman evaded arrest at his home in Porepunkah on allegations of violence, some possibly of a sexual nature, and some possibly involving children. He shot at the police and killed two. For the last seven months, it was suspected he was hiding nearby and receiving help from family or friends. Despite the media suggesting he was experienced with hiking and the outdoors, and the shit that Preppers like to claim about their skills, there's a practical limit to how well a human can live in isolation.

CW: Surprise! Wanaka cell tower arsonist is a Sov Cit
Daniel Miller, 41, plasterer from Albert Town has been charged with five counts of "intentionally damaging a cellphone tower or telecommunications infrastructure by fire." They've got him for the Lindis tower as well.
But this cooker is a sovereign citizen who ignored the judge and kept speaking over her. She muted his mic.
When she gave him another chance he claimed he was not Mr Miller. "I’m a living man standing in my natural state."
Remanded in custody for trial in April.

Just been watching a film called Sovereign, starring Nick Offerman as a sovereign citizen. Disturbingly accurate look at the life of cookers, and just how violent they can be.

CW: SovCits in Aussie
ABC's Four Corners profiles a group of Aussie sovereign citizens who identify as sheriffs and believe they can make their own laws, hold pretend courts then cosplay as enforcers serving documents.
Their little badges are laminated, making them look *really* official.
Imagine a scenario where the world's village idiots got together and pronounced that they were now in charge of everything. That's SovCits.
While they may seem like a sad group of fantasists, there's an insidious side to their mission. As with VFF in NZ, they're infiltrating local Councils and clogging democracy by asking loads of dumb questions.
Most of them were weaponised during Covid lockdowns when conspiracies blossomed. A time when society's losers discovered that becoming a SovCit made them part of a crowd, albeit a crowd of deluded losers.
There's one thing these groups have in common. When they meet reality in court, the SovCits always lose. This is true in NZ, in every state of Australia and in every country in the world.

Charlie Mitchell takes a deep dive into Sam and Mark Bailey, two former New Zealand doctors turned anti-vaxxers who promote 'alternative' health and reject most modern medicine.
They've both become "devout Christians" who preach some downright dangerous theories to their 30,000 Substack followers, including:
* People with melanoma should spend more time in the sun.
* Newborns with sepsis should not be treated with antibiotics but vitamin C
* They oppose virtually all health screening, including mammograms and cervical smears
* They do not believe there is an immune system
* HIV does not cause Aids
* the cold is not contagious
* Covid-19 doesn’t existIf that's not enough to set off the 'woo-woo' alarms, they also fly a sovereign Citizen flag above their house.
They live amongst us.

A couple more kiwi "sovereign citizens" have had their day in court.
Bradley & Michelle O’Donnell from Raglan decided they didn't need building consent or other formalities when they added an extra room onto their house. The couple refused to meet with the Council unless they were paid. The only document they produced was a "Māori sovereign authority" signed by somebody called ‘Piripi’.
The court said "Nah" and fined them $20k.
SovCits never win.

Sovereign citizen, common law sheriff and man-on-the-run for two years Richard Sivell has finally been recaptured by police. He's one of the cookers who threatened to kill our former PM, the wonderful Jacinda Ardern.

CW: Another NZ SovCit loses in court
Stuart Young was a tug engineer in Tauranga. When Covid hit he refused vaccinations, a legal requirement of his job at the time. He refused alternative employment in security and was laid off.
He argued that as a sovereign citizen the law didn't apply to him & demanded $100m from the Port Authority, "instructing $10m to be paid directly to Young’s bank account and the remainder to be paid in gold bullion."
Gold bullion!
