Your argument holds no merit. It’s like arguing you’re a sovereign citizen, sorry does not work.

Of course it holds no merit when the law is written such that merely having the capability of loud noise is an offense, and the method by which you are convicted is the police do the thing they say is bad and then damn you for the thing they themselves just did for the purpose of convicting you.

Yes that is how society works in most places. Again this is like a ridiculous sovereign citizen argument. It’s comical to read.

Oh I am well aware. Society takes the things you have, uses them against you, then shits on you for the thing they have just done. Thus is how taxes are born.

Actually, you can argue it and it will work.

That does not really prove much. Not really clear the charges the fed had were well thought out. The general sovereign citizen test always fails because those folks still want to participate in society.
