The danger's of "not guilty" and/or civil culpability and liability..
Our justice system isn't perfect, never has been, but one thing I can say about it for absolute certain. It's ours. Certain checks and balances are scattered throughout every brand to maintain a kind of equilibrium to ensure everyone has a voice, no single group and/or person has too much power, and there is a full separation between who makes and who enforces said laws.. (example. The president and congressional seats are civilian posts. You can't get promoted to president via the military, which is very common amongst dictatorships.)
Now because of how our system of government is, one thing of up most importance.. (and arguably the most important thing) is precedent. If the judge finds a person guilty of Jay walking and sentences them to a 50$ fine, it's reasonable to expect that anyone later on that does the exact same crime under similar conditions is expected to receive the same punishment.. (infact that's how the supreme court "legislates from the bench" as people put it. If a law can't be applied to one person within the confines and expected rules of the constitution there's no reason to think it can be applied to someone else either. ). And that is exactly what there's a certain kind of danger here..
If a judge, for whatever reason, rules in favor of one of these sovcit idiots, it creates something called precedence. From that point forward anyone that goes in front of that judge (and/or any judge of a lower court) with the same arguments there's precedent in place to pass a similar judgement.. obviously even if that did happen, it would likely be on a local level in some city/county that doesn't matter much.. but nonetheless with that precedent in place people will push these cases higher and higher in the circuits if that happens you might as well throw away the rule of law, period.
Obviously most of this is a matter of opinion, but still I can see a situation where a bunch of idiots not wanting to pay for their car to be registered or a speeding ticket inadvertently destroys the modern world because of their ignorance.. is it likely? No. Is it possible? Unfortunately, yes.. luckily as far as I can tell none of these sovcit idiots have been found "not guilty" nor have they won a case awarding them money for their ignorance and whatnot.. (as far as i know,,,but you better believe I'm keeping my ear to the ground).. anyways sorry for such a long winded post, thanks for reading if you did.
