Lawless Ones: The Resurgence of the Sovereign Citizen Movement

Author:	Anti-Defamation League 605 Third Avenue New York NY 10158-3560
Publisher:	United States 2010
Edition/Format:	Book : English
Summary:	Although its sister movement, the militia movement, receives more publicity, the SCM has grown larger than the militia movement and engages in more criminal activity.

A common tactic in this regard is the filing of bogus liens on the property of perceived enemies. Recently, members of the SCM have been exploiting the foreclosure crisis, crisscrossing the Nation promoting schemes and scams to desperate homeowners while falsely claiming that such schemes can save people's homes. Some members are even seizing houses left empty because of foreclosures and claiming them for their own.

Recent SCM incidents are described by State.  Read more...
