Man identifies himself as ‘first name Civil Rights, last name Constitution’

The name's Constitution, Civil Rights Constitution.

CRESTVIEW - A man refused to give officers his name after standing in the middle of traffic, telling officers that he was a “sovereign citizen.”

He still refused to provide his name, telling officers it was “first name Civil Rights, last name Constitution,” the report said. Officers were able to identify the man from previous dealings. He’s charged with resisting or obstructing an officer without violence, falsely identifying himself to a law enforcement officer and pedestrian obstructing or hindering traffic.

If you are a member of ATS, I salute you, Civil Rights Constitution.

Wouldn't ''Rights'' be his middle name? And standing in traffic, I think we learned not to do that when we were children.

I really hope "Mr. Constitution" doesn't frequent these boards.

I like to think most of us here are fairly intelligent. I know, I'm an idealist.

falsely identifying himself to a law enforcement officer

ehehe i can picture the cop being all "you mean Civil Rights Constitution is NOT your name?!"
It's so funny what minutae they will come up with just to pile on the charges and give you hell.
That being said, mr. Civil Rights Constitution seems to not be "all there"
...Sadly that sentence works both as a joke and as a factual statement.

I likened it to Christopher Robin, from the Winnie the Pooh books.

Bad choice of words. Now all the corporations, lobbyists, politicians, secret ops guys are gonna trample allover him and use him for toilet paper.

This is like screaming you're Goldstein in Big Brother's office.

His real name is Bernard.

His name was Robert Paulsen,
His name, was Robert Paulsen.

The spirit of the constitution would probably take a dim view of someone who would adversely impact a persons right to engage in commerce on a public highway.

How about we just call him moron

a reply to: safetymeeting

He isn't an ATS member then. Maybe he's Bernard's friend.

I guess it's better than saying your name is America's bitch.

Two internets to you, kind sir.

Alas. Florida is a state wherein you MUST provide correct ID when asked by an officer. You do not need to give more than your name, though. Even better, there is a law that pretty much covers everything the guy did, in one concise little bit of legislation, 856.021. Loitering in a place, time and manner not usual for law abiding citizens, failure to identify and flight, all in one paragraph. Mr C.R. Constitution is looking at a second degree misdemeanor, I fear.

Except in "Bernard's" world as a sovereign citizen he doesn't recognize the laws in question.

Oh, and he is a moron.

It's ok...they recognize him. Even if he stamps "under duress" on everything.
