The sovereign citizens aren’t elected.
> If it's simple to harass someone that way, then making it available to everyone will increase the need to fix a broken system where people can be arbitrarily harassed.
Making a broken system worse does increase the need to fix it, but it doesn’t mean it gets fixed, it just means we have a worse need.

And on the contrary, it is by making the situation unbearable for everyone that popular and political will to change a broken system is created. The worst thing that can happen is for an injustice to be prolonged just because it only affects a select group of people that those in power dislike.
