Why would they be driving on a road fully regulated by a separate country without some sort of agreement?

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Because they somehow, deep down, subconsciously acknowledge that they're the liability in the situation, and any sort of contract just serves to hold them accountable.

Well, see, there's this multi-million dollar trust that gets registered in their NAME at birth by the gubmint, so now everything is free.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 13 points 8 months ago

But why would the gubmint register a trust with a sovereign country without a sort of agreement?

If he had just done "Accio Car" he could have avoided the trouble .

Void AB INITIO

They really do use contract law concepts like they are magic incantations.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

its just larping for chuds

Towing companies are famously assholes who will just straight up steal your car to the extent that the head of their professional org where I live was like, "yeah you really need to just tear the industry down and start from scratch."

All that to say, I'd love to see the reaction of the person at the yard to this nonsense.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 55 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Police impounded the car because it wasn't registered and the driver didn't have a license. Normally I would agree with you, but the police and the towing company did the right thing here.

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, I agree. Towing companies just tend to hire people that do not give a fuck even if they really did steal the car, let alone when they didn't, so I can't see sovcit nonsense going well.

A tow truck driver stole my friend’s car after he wrecked it.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 8 months ago

Same thing happened when my wife was in an accident. I was on the phone with insurance and my back to her truck. And then i see it being towed up the road.

When you want to live life on Hard mode with no discernible benefits.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

That's exactly what I'd expect an NPC to say about me, the main character.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

The discernible benefits were that he hoped to save a few bucks and never get caught.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Some people in first world countries have so comfy lives, they're coming up with this bullshit to inconvenience themselves for some reason.

[–] doctorcrimson 51 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Simple, prove that you never touched a publicly owned road. Otherwise, fuck off.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 27 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Well ackshually, due to the nuclear force, my atoms and my cars atoms never touch the road, we merely ride the electromagnetic repulsion

Edit: also I don't have an international treaty with the roads atoms

[–] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yea that’s the secret sauce right there. Did you enter into a contract with any atoms?

No? Well then technically the state of California belongs to you and you never ever have to pay any bills, you know cause according to maritime law atoms can freely “travel”…

Sovereign plutonium: "Is the strong nuclear force detaining my neutrons or are they free to go?"

[–] doctorcrimson 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

By that definition nothing has ever touched anything on earth for billions of years outside of rare and expensive nuclear testing apparatus, therefor touching loses all meaning outside of the context in which it describes atoms interacting with each other's electromagnetic field as a result of kinetic energy transferal.

Step out of the vehicle and place your hands on the hood.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 38 points 8 months ago

There needs to be some kind of clinic to take people with this much delusion to.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I can actually understand this one to an extent. A driver's license and vehicle registration are only required to drive on public roads, not legal requirements for having a car. That said, taking a car onto a public road without the aforementioned is illegal and should result in a fine.

[–] RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Driving an unregistered vehicle without any license on a public road is endangering others. So a fine would not be sufficient.

It's the same arguing as carrying an unregistered weapon without a license in public space. That would be confiscated as well instead of being fined.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

FWIW not everywhere has a requirement to register firearms.

[–] Car@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Normal firearm registration is not required (or even possible?) in the majority of US states.

[–] Fontasia@feddit.nl 4 points 8 months ago

I don't think he's being downvoted for saying the truth, I think it's people being pissed off with the double standard which is firearm ownership

[–] Good_Idea_Poorly_Realized@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Have them sell the car at auction and give the sovereign the cash.

They will not release a vehicle to break the law immediately. (How are you going to drive your unlicensed, unregistered vehicle home from the impound?)

It may be permissible to have the vehicle scrapped directly from.yhe impound.

[–] StaticFalconar@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Tow truck to bring car back to private property. (just can't drive it)
