Leaving your house without your papers and government issued ID.

    I don't usually like SovCits, but like maybe we should really start popularizing SovCit movements. 🤔

    I always had some sympathy with them. It just seems like they want off this awful capitalistic treadmill we find ourselves on. Everyone always laughs and belittles them, but I'm always rooting for em just a lil bit

    If they went and lived in some remote mountain village or something I wouldn't mind.

    But they claim all of this while driving without a licence or insurance. Would you be as sympathetic to their cause if they hit your car and cause serious damage?

    I sort of understand their point but they've also been unimaginably selfish and entitled and that's the part I can't get behind. Also every single one of them is, without fail, an utter moron.

    SovCits are not noble campaigners fighting against injustice. They are idiots deluded enough to think they've found the cheat code to the legal system by spouting the right string of nonsense.

    Are they anti-capitalist or anti-government? Maybe some are both, but it seems like many of these types are probably capitalist and don't want the government to get in the way of corporations screwing people.

    In Germany it‘s similar. You are required to have an ID with you. It’s not strictly illegal though to not have it on you but if you happen to have business with police (be it an accident, random traffic stop or you having part in illegal activities), when you don’t have it on you, they can make you come to the police station with them to confirm your identity, even if they wouldn’t otherwise.

    You are required to be able to ID yourself, "Ausweispflicht", but that does not require you to carry your physical ID with you when leaving your house, it just requires you to own said ID once you reach the age of 16.

    The cops will still take you with them to the station when you don’t have an ID to show if they ask for it. You are by law required to identify yourself with a physical ID.

    So yes, while it’s not illegal to not carry your ID on you, it’s still to your own detriment if you cannot produce it.
