Wellington AGM & presentation: Sovereign Citizens

Topic: Sovereign Citizens

This is a joint presentation by the Police Security Intelligence Threats Group and the Department of Internal Affairs Investigations Unit on the Sovereign Citizen (SOV CIT) movement in New Zealand.   Perhaps you have asked yourself ‘what are they all about and what do they want?’ ‘Are they a threat?’ and ‘Why the apparent sudden growth of the SOV CIT movement?’
