Well, it seems that Paul Grice is part of a group that holds beliefs akin to sovereign citizens and filed about 40 pages of legal documents, citing bible verses, common law and historical stuff as to why the current system has no jurisdiction over him and revoking his citizenship. The others in the Misfit group likely hold the same beliefs. So, this is solid evidence as to why the group would be infiltrated by the feds and why it could be that this guy, placed at the scene of two grizzly murders, would be both interviewed by the FBI (vs sheriff) and not arrested with the other four.
Here's some insane private police consulting company describing the group:
Sovereign citizens are individuals who, despite being legal citizens of their respective countries, deny the legitimacy of their governments and thus consider themselves immune to their laws. The movement is loosely affiliated and not typically unified, though followers share similar beliefs and ideologies. They use terms to describe themselves such as “living man” or “woman,” “natural woman” or “man,” “free man” or “woman,” “secured party creditor,” “state national,” and the newest variation, “American State National.”
Sovereign citizens are anti-government, anti-democratic and anti-institution, and can be best described as modern-day outlaws. They pose a threat to the U.S. government and other governments worldwide. As legal citizens of a country who reject the jurisdiction of their government and its justice systems, they exhibit anarchist tendencies.
Accurate statistics on the sovereign citizen movement are challenging to obtain. Estimates suggest there are between 100,000 to 300,000 sovereign citizens in the United States. In recent years, federal officials have noted a resurgence in the movement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has identified the sovereign citizen movement as one of its “top threats.”
