When a simple arrest spiralled into years of harassment, retired detective Peter Kos found himself battling more than just the lawbreakers — he was battling the legal system itself. In this episode of Real Crime, Peter shares how he became the target of a relentless group of so-called “sovereign citizens” who flooded him with threats, false accusations and legal stunts designed to intimidate and exhaust. From stalking charges to private prosecutions and civil suits, Peter reveals the toll this six-year ordeal took on him, and why he believes the system needs urgent reform to stop these vexatious agitators from weaponising the courts.
