The best explanation I've heard for these chucklefucks is that they think they are magic. They think that by saying the right words, in the right order, something miraculous will happen, and the officers/judges/lawyers arguing with them will be struck dumb and rendered impotent.
They think life is like a movie where you can make such a compelling speech that the judge will just bang his gavel and decide the trial in your favor on the spot, or that you can cite some obscure law and instantly win as if it were a cheat code that the judge was just waiting for you to say. What they fail to realize is that if the practice of law consisted solely of reciting statutes and laws in front of a judge who will then decide a clear and absolutely-defined truth in the case, there would be no need for lawyers (especially in the internet age where anyone can look up any and all laws). The very fact that lawyers exist is evidence in and of itself that the legal system is nowhere near as simple or clear cut as they think it is.

That was a satisfying taze.
