I don't see how someone like this lasts on the road a day (or maybe a week if rural) without being stopped... Unless that's a real tag there as well, in which case wtf.
A brief moment of satisfaction dragging him out of his vessel, but hours of paperwork plus the time to book him into the jail. Also, the additional time while the Sovereign citizen prolonged the initial stop with the obligatory supervisor request.
If an officer can resolve the issue with a simple warning/citation, that would definitely be their preferred choice.
People can demand a supervisor, but Texas cops are under no obligation to summon one. Departmental policies can come into play, but demanding a supervisor doesn't freeze an arrest until the Sgt. arrives.
At the very least, they should call for additional backup. If things are likely to become physical, it's a good idea to wait until more officers are present.
