Gavin David Seim (born January 17, 1985, in Ephrata, Washington) is an American activist, self-described constitutionalist, conspiracy theorist, filmmaker[1] and photographer, known for using confrontational sovereign citizen tactics against law enforcement.[2] He posted a viral, controversial video on the internet, entitled "Citizen Pulls Cop Over."[3] He also organized an "I Will NOT Comply" rally and posted a video about the same subject.[4]
In 2014, he ran, unsuccessfully, for the United States House of Representatives as a Republican.[5] He placed eighth in the open primary, obtaining approximately two percent of the votes cast.[6]
In 2015, he was arrested for interfering with a court, assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct, and contempt of court.[5]
On December 8, 2017, he failed to appear in Grant County District Court on charges of obstruction of a law enforcement officer and harassment in connection with an August 2017 arrest in Ephrata, Washington. Seim claimed illegal conduct from the court and prosecutor, including a motion which would force him to unlock his phone and said that he refused to comply. A warrant with a $5,000 bond was issued for his arrest. According to press reports, Seim has fled to Mexico.[7][8] He continues to post videos refusing to abide by Mexican police checkpoints, demanding they speak English, and provides dangerous "advice" on how to confront police during routine stops.
On February 13, 2020, Gavin Seim claimed that the Mexican government gave him and his family protected person status and permanent residency.[9][10]
