What are the benefits of becoming a State Citizen? Primarily the escape of victimless crime traffic tickets and the ability to avoid prison sentences for non-violent crimes.
Simply put, prison is a benefit. Yes, a loss of freedom is terrible; however, viewed from a perspective of contract law, the prisoner is given meals, housing, medical, exercise equipment, clothing and more! This can easily infer that a “benefit from government” has been received and in return, you are under detention and guard while fulfilling your position as a 14th Amendment Citizen. Typically one is forced to fulfill manual labor at a reduced federal wage that is still considered "legal". One may rescind this benefit, but one may not do so without “quitting” their position within the company publicly and voluntarily.
It would not be profitable for someone who has committed a violent crime to utilize this (or any crime that has caused harm to property or person). The crimes traditionally characterized as violent in common law, such as murder, rape, and assault, fall within two overlapping common law categories. First, violent crimes are those that were classified as “crimes against the person” at common law, and second, violent crimes are those most often and easily identified as mala in se (crime that is considered wrong in and of itself). It should be noted; burglary and arson are considered two forms of special case “crimes against the person” at common law.
