A:
Changing your status from a U.S. citizen to a State National does not exempt you from the laws established by the federal government. The legal system in the United States is based on the Constitution, which applies uniformly to all individuals within its jurisdiction. Attempting to alter your status in this manner does not grant immunity from federal, state, or local laws.
When it comes to maritime or admiralty law, these laws govern activities on navigable waters and related matters. They operate alongside the general laws of the land, not above them. Therefore, maritime laws do not supersede the broader legal framework that applies to all citizens and residents.
It's important to understand that legal status changes of this nature are not recognized by courts or government institutions. To ensure you are following the law correctly, consider consulting with a legal professional who can provide guidance based on your specific situation.
