Your "Sometimes work" argument requires the citation of at least one case, where it worked. And it's better be a serious case and not just some minor thing where the judge essentially declared the "SovCit" insane and terminated the hearing to avoid dealing with a lot of unnecessary work.
But back to the original problem: It's religios exemption. I wouldn't be surprised, if the Amish have an exemption too. Just request one, if it means so much for you.
