You know how lawyers shout “objection!” in court and it causes things to happen? Sovereign Citizens believe all laws work that way. If you find the right words, phrase, or document, you can bend the legal system to your will.
It’s kind of like thinking the law works like Magic The Gathering. Sorry officer, but I counter your “diving with a suspended licence” attack with my “I’m travelling not driving” spell!
I almost feel bad for them because in some ways the legal system is a game that can be bent to your will. It’s just that the best spells cost millions of dollars to cast.
