Are we still under military rule? The war that never ended.

That escape from the fealty system escaped some folks because the fact of the Registry remains. - Leaving the question;

Perhaps not domestic = off-base.

Does the peaceful inhabitant have license plates at all? Without license plates you will be stopped by armed men inquiring about driver license and financial responsibility (insurance). Without insurance, the motor vehicle cannot be licensed or get the plates - so you can be paying an insurance policy but be jailed anyway, upon the cop's legal opinion that your insurance company will not cover you without a license...

Does the peaceful inhabitant fly the flags of a belligerent during wartime? This is where contract law and notice comes into play. If you are not a belligerent and you're being forced to wear enemy indicia--making the intent known might be quite a good thing to do.

But then, this is where utilization of a USDOT # or signs like "NOT FOR HIRE" can come handy. However when its to the repugnant extreme that the armed agents of a State arent even competent to tell the difference between belligerents and neutrals--you might have a conspiracy against rights or even sedition on your hands...
