Which of the following is an unusual way a sovereign citizen may sign a citation?

Individuals within the sovereign citizen movement often reject conventional legal systems and promote their own interpretations of law. One of the peculiar habits demonstrated by members of this group when interacting with law enforcement or legal documents is the use of peculiar signatures or statements that express their disdain for, or rejection of, the authority of the state.

The use of "TDC" which stands for "Total Discharge of Debt," or "UD" which stands for "Under Duress," are signatures that specifically signal the signer's belief that they are not participating in the legal process as defined by conventional law. Rather, they assert their own interpretation and authority over how they engage with the legal system. This reflects a fundamental aspect of sovereign citizen ideology, which often includes a belief that they are above the law or not bound by it in the same way as the general population.

In contrast, signing by name and date, using initials only, or writing "accepted under law" would typically follow conventional practices and might not reflect the unusual or dismissive attitudes toward established legal norms that characterize sovereign citizens' behaviors. Therefore, the choice highlighting "TDC" or "UD" is significant for understanding how sovereign citizens operate within or react to the traditional legal framework.
