New Zealander Maui Warahi, also known as Jay Maui Wallace, is currently in a corrections facility facing charges for violating a protection order, common assault, and threatening to kill and injuring with intent to injure. He has filed a number of different motions with the court, including an “Affidavit of Identity” in which he said he “fit the “sovereign being” model that the Court is well familiar with”.
In this “Affidavit of Identity” he states the following:
The New Zealand Court, like American courts and other courts around the world, recognized this as being a sovereign citizen argument that is legally meritless. The court notes that “no person within New Zealand is able to disassociate themselves from their “legal persona” so as to remove themselves from the jurisdiction of the courts.”
They declared the sovereign citizen argument in this case to be “untenable and without legal foundation” and subsequently dismissed it.
More evidence that the sovereign citizen argument works nowhere in the world.
