Another quote from the article "Altstatt, in court proceedings with the City, has argued that he is not subject to local (and state and federal) laws," is more telling for me. A sovereign citizen.
Yep, that cr@p doesn't work and the courts rarely ever look kindly on that particular defense. Same as riling up a rowdy dog and then being stunned when the dog bites you. Forrest Gump stuff there.
