Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : In the Massachusetts incident, police said they had asked the men for drivers licenses and gun licenses, but the men said they didn't have any.
43% : This perceived immunity from local authority is used to justify refusing to pay taxes, buy car insurance, register vehicles, and "defraud banks", the center reported.
41% : Ken Gray, a retired FBI special agent and professor of criminal justice at the University of New Haven, told ABC News that sovereign citizens "tend to be more of a law enforcement nuisance than they seem to be a violent group."
38% : "They seem to be much more involved in tying people up in legal problems, making false claims on property, not paying taxes," he said.
33% : "So a lot of these groups don't tend to register their firearms, they don't register their vehicles, that tends to be a recipe for disaster, especially if law enforcement is involved, because they tend to essentially become quite standoffish," he said.
