When Jeremiah Mackey Jr. steps into a Licking County, Ohio courtroom for a traffic violation trial, he attempts to throw off the proceedings with classic Sovereign Citizen arguments. Despite being in Newark, Ohio, Mackey claims the local court lost its "jurisdiction" because he supposedly filed removal paperwork with a district court in New Jersey. Throughout the hearing, Mackey keeps a polite demeanor while refusing to sign basic legal documents and making last-minute demands for a jury trial. The judge cuts through the sovereign rhetoric, rules that Mackey constructively waived his right to an attorney, and proceeds with a bench trial. After finding Mackey guilty on all counts, the judge hands down a mandatory three-day jail sentence—scheduling it over a Sunday so the defendant won't lose his job in HVAC.
