I, as a non US user, don't get this. What's up with the ugly business cards with way too much info, that look like fake ID cards?

We call these sovereign citizens. They are a loosely connected group of conspiracy theorists who believe by invoking the correct legal terms, they can be covered by, but not behold to, the laws and regulations of the USA.

Sometimes it's just someone who doesn't want to pay taxes. Other times you get this, occasionally they do weird ass communes.

So... Like self proclaimed parasites huh?

They're fake ID cards.

Germany has these nutjobs too. They sometimes turn violent and kill or harm state agents. They are called Reichsbürger, because they claim the German Reich, which ceased to exist in 1945, actually still exists and by invoking their magic spells you won't have to pay parking tickets or taxes. They are often very close to Nazis and are all idiots and assholes.

I'm acting astonished

I expect they just get fines for not paying parking tickets and taxes though right?

State agencies are somehow not susceptible to their magic, so yes. They are treated as a fringe group that is becoming more dangerous, though.

See a lot from Australia too. They like to quote the US Constitution. The jokes write themselves.
