No-nonsense cops make short work of moronic conspiracy theorist and ‘sovereign citizen’ who refuses to wear a mask or show his ID at a 7-Eleven store in Melbourne

  • A conspiracy theorist has been arrested after refusing to wear a mask in public

A rambling ‘sovereign citizen’ has been taken down by no-nonsense cops for refusing to wear a face mask or provide his ID and slapped with a $1,652 fine.

Rick Mejia, from Melbourne, filmed himself arguing with officers inside a 7-Eleven service station in Sunshine just before the 8pm curfew on Tuesday night.

After repeatedly ignoring orders and ranting about his rights, the video was abruptly cut short when a policeman grabbed his phone and placed him under arrest.

The dramatic footage came after coronavirus conspiracy theorist Eve Black was dramatically arrested last Thursday while refusing to give police her details at a checkpoint – having a week earlier successfully gamed the system.

Vision has also showed a mother being pinned to the ground by three police officers for allegedly breaking COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in Melbourne’s south-west on Saturday.

Mejia, who posts bizarre conspiracy theories online about 5G ‘genocide’, told the officers he was filming them ‘for evidence’ when he walked into the store with his brother.
