      I have a question and I hope you answer. If you're sued let's say for a billion dollars. All you have is a car and house that aren't even paid off. You end up just declaring bankruptcy? I guess they could take your assets but there's no way you can possibly afford to pay that back in your lifetime. They can't take all your money because then you won't be able to work to pay them anything right? Like Rudy Giuliani how was this play out if he were convicted for the civil lawsuit?

      Laws are made because they need criminals to make money..they need criminals to gain power..they need criminals to keep democracy ..Without criminals then prosecutors lawyers, law makers judges and cops etc wouldn’t have a occupation..without criminals Mayors governors and other politicians etc wouldn’t have much to promise you, the more laws they create the more crimes are made, the more arrest are made which lead to power for the so call good guys…why you think instead of actually trying to find solutions to fix crime, they just create more laws? Because they’ll use the worse scenarios that happened with the crime that was made and scare the people to believing everybody who commit these crimes are the same..like illegally carrying a firearm, one out of every 1000 illegal firearm is actually used in a crime or a shooting..the rest are carried for protection for people who was denied or was too young or had a felony due to carrying a firearm under age…Most gun felonies never was convicted of any violent crimes…never was convicted of any discharge of the firearm.:.simply carrying..and living in a community they live in who can actually blame them for Cathy ..but they still get the same treatment as those who use firearms in crimes ..because the government don’t understand the difference between a criminal and a person who broke a law in order to protect their life…But the more criminals the more money and power..same reason why most prosecutors try to find white suburbans when prosecuting a crime that’s common in the inner city….because since they don’t experience the common problems in the inner city..they’re going to likely find the person guilty because they truly believe he’s a criminal due to what they was taught..Because the prosecutors job is to find you guilt rather you’re innocent or not..that alone shows that it’s not about innocent or guilty it’s about who can tell the better story..Because more guilty cases equals more pay and more power

    When I was homeless, I had to panhandle to survive, and there was one cop that would *always* threaten to arrest me and/or ticket me for panhandling because of the sit-lie law, even though I was panhandling on private property, and I sat in the same spot, leaned up against the building(which is not included in the sit-lie laws) and the building security guard constantly had to remind the cop that I have permission to be there and its a private building.
    I literally held a sign, I didn't say anything, or do anything, but yet one cop bugged me for MONTHS over something I literally wasn't doing, it only stopped when a different cop befriended me and I told him about the other cop, and he would come check in on me daily to make sure no other cops were bugging me and that I was alright(I met him because I was assaulted)

      Let's say a friend that has shared their Netflix password is also their bank account password, awful security decisions aside, does that give the friend permission to go on their bank account and look at their friends finances?

And if there is is it illegal for a husband to upgrade the account on his wife's behalf when it's in her name?

      If the cities intentionally hiked the price, then they ought to pay back the difference to the people who were overcharged when the price is made reasonable.
      I mean I guess that would take a lot of tax money, and the only way to get that money which seems remotely fair would be to hike taxes for whoever profited off the price hike, who pretty clearly have the government in their pocket already, meaning that's out too, but hey, I can dream, can't I?

      No. It's only entrapment if the detective convinces him to do something he would not have otherwise done. If the guy wasn't involved in gambling at all because he didn't believe in gambling, but the detective talked him into it, or if the detective said "you should make a bigger bet," and the guy said "that's a bad idea, betting that big is illegal" and the cop badgered him into it, that's entrapment. But if all the detective did was got him to do something he never had any objection to, that's not considered entrapment, not should it be.

For example, I have a physical disability that can flare up at any moment, especially if I've been walking or standing for an extended period of time (which can be as short as 5 - 10 minutes or less).

Artist that use this medium create a negative image that they attach to glass. They fill the blank areas with the etch cream which will create a frosted image when the cream is rinsed off. Because this actually creates indents in the glass; the glass can't just be buffed out. It needs to be replaced. This type of vandalism can get very expensive to fix.

Many cars actually use heater plugs to keep the oil liquid so warming up the car is easier, but it’s a major pain to install them!

    I remember an odd loophole when a long distance trucker was charged for drinking in his truck. He was parked and the semi had a sleeper. So he argued and won (I think) that while parked, a semi with sleeper becomes the same as a RV. So drinking and having open alcohol in the vehicle was legal.

If you start driving before the engine is up to temperature, it can lead to mechanical failure when done on a regular basis. Metals expand with heat, and engines are designed to operate at a certain temperature. Running it cold (or overheated for that matter) and revving up the engine will create extra stresses in the engine.

    I think the key thing for password sharing is "if authorization is revoked". Basically the owner of the account has to explicitly state that the second person is not allowed to access the account. To use an IT example, if this weren't the case, no company in its right mind would let IT staff share default passwords with users, but in this case, the company owns the account and grants permission for both IT and the user to access the account. They don't even need to approve this per user since permissions are made explicit through things like group policy.
    It seems like this is mostly here for cases where someone knows the password a person uses for something, and gets into it without their consent.

    I used to work at an art supply chain in California, and those laws against selling certain supplies to minors were a HUGE pain in the ass. Management actually eventually decided to stop stocking spraypaint altogether because it was too much of a hassle. Totally ridiculous to have cashiers at an art supply store carding people just for buying paint.

      (UK here) A few months ago I was asked for my ID when buying superglue (for the purpose of assembling models cast in resin). I was surprised because I very rarely get asked for my ID anymore when I buy alcohol. I'm very clearly not a minor. I'd like to see anyone under the age of 18 with a beard this big.

      @@dylantowers9367 You obviously haven't met me. I had a full beard by the age of 16 and frequently got mistaken for a college student. I remember one occasion the police visited my house while friends were over after suspecting one of them had thrown eggs at passing cars (they hadn't but apparently witnesses said they'd gone to my house) and upon seeing me after talking with them for a while immediately started asking me questions like I was the owner or head member of the household (i.e. "were you watching these kids, are they your son's friends, etc."). To be fair, my friends had also trolled them by getting me after they asked to see someone who lived there (because they were already amused the police found them suspicious). They were flabbergasted when I said I was the same age. Always makes me chuckle thinking about it.

    Now eBay automatically deducts taxes for you out of what you made on a sale.

    One of the toughest parts of being homeless I found is the difficulty in getting a PO box (including a UPS box). One is required to certify you have an address. One must also lie in order to get a bank account.
