The 24-year-old was born in Phoenix and is a member of Arizona’s Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. She was booked into the Polk County Jail in Des Moines, Iowa, where she currently lives, in September for allegedly driving with a suspended license. Jacobo was scheduled to be released on Nov. 11, but what should have been a routine process was complicated and delayed by an erroneously issued ICE detainer. She was ultimately allowed to leave just before 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 12.
This whole long drawn out argument you two had could have been completely skipped if you two had read the article. She was in jail for violating her probation from a previous sentence.
I was more so arguing against his idea that being difficult with the police means you deserve 2 months or more in jail. That’s just ludicrous
I don’t know if the SovCit BS I see posted is real but I can believe it. It’s not just being obstinate but all sorts of ways they can talk themselves into trouble.
Let’s take the obvious issue of ID. You are required to identify yourself and as a driver you must have proof. But what happens if a SovCit doesn’t recognize that and either refuses or gives a made up ID, registration, license plate?
Or if you don’t recognize the authority of police or of the court, you could easily talk yourself into the maximum penalty for the actual infraction. And if you’re not going to spend money on a lawyer for a court you don’t recognize, you won’t have anyone to tell you to “just shut up”
