60 Minutes - Who Are "Sovereign Citizens"?



A respected Sarasota detective in the police department went to the local courthouse and did something stupid.

He had some vague notion of needing to get back to this country's "roots."

Following the advice of his older brother, he filed a set of strange documents, declaring himself "a flesh and blood, living, breathing, biological man," and an "American National Sovereign."

What he actually was doing was affiliating with an estimated 300,000 disgruntled Americans who believe the government is illegitimate. Read the companion article that is courtesy of the St.Petersburg Times.
