At the core of sovereign citizen beliefs is the denial of the legitimacy of the government. They do not believe they must obey any laws, nor that they can be held to account for lawbreaking.
Don’t lump 1st amendment auditors with sovcits. 1a auditors believe in the constitution and are trying to show how police forces abuse the rights of the people.
Sovcits are selfish and delusional pedants who try to weasel out of the responsibilities of belonging to a society.
Every group has their assholes, I’ve seen plenty of them. But I’ve also seen plenty where the individual was being harassed or unlawfully detained or worse doing nothing more than practicing their constitutional rights.
My favorite is the guy walking around a police station parking lot video taping and photographing the vehicles. I don’t remember if anyone confronts him beforehand, but the Chief comes out and basically offers to give the guy a tour, he understands he’s not breaking any laws, etc.
Either way, there are legitimate first amendment auditors. I’ve never heard of a legitimate or successful sovereign citizen.

I have to believe most of them are scammers and attention/seekers trying to fleece a relatively few gullible fools
