An Aussie motorist’s bizarre number plate has drivers scratching their heads.
A passerby took a photo of a very unusual licence plate they spotted in Maryborough, Queensland, and posted a picture on Reddit.
The “illegal” plate has the words: “Land of Terra Australis. R-80-AMB-001. Private Property. All Rights Reserved. People’s Court.”
It also has a number of different symbols, which are difficult to make out, but has an image of Australia.
Some Reddit users said the plates probably belong to someone claiming to be a sovereign citizen.
The sovereign citizen movement is a group of people, sometimes conspiracy theorists, tax avoiders, and activists that say they answer to their own version of Australian law.
“Sovereign citizen cooker,” one person wrote.
“That plate is a warning to you that this person isn’t registered or has insurance. Run away,” someone else said.
Another person provided a more thorough explanation: They tend to get their facts from Facebook and a lot of what they think is law (or isn’t law for that matter) is taken from misinterpretations of US constitutional law and not even relevant in Australia,” they said.
“At the end of the day, they still pay taxes and still utilise free education, healthcare, and local and state facilities, all the while under the protection of State and Federal law.
“But shhh — don’t tell them. We just let them think they’re ‘sovereign citizens’.”
Either way, we’re pretty sure the plate is illegal.
