When we talk about things on the internet staying there forever, we don’t just mean the embarrassing pictures your mom put on Facebook or the MySpace-era emoticon disaster from a decade ago — we mean EVERYTHING. No matter what you delete, or how quickly you delete it, every single post, tweet, picture, Snap, and text [...]
Technology makes us all feel invincible in a weird sort of way, right? There’s a sense of control in being able to capture pretty much everything whenever you want — not to mention having the world’s information at your fingertips. But, amidst all the selfies and livestreams, we tend to forget we’re not actually in [...]
Since every state has their own mini-government, every state has (for the most part) their own laws. What’s illegal in one may be encouraged in another. What would bring about a decades’ long sentence in one may be a simple misdemeanor somewhere else. While this does sometimes make things confusing, it allows citizens to live [...]
Okay, let’s be honest here. At some point, you have probably fantasized about using a snappy TV-borne line to shut down cops. Especially if you’ve had unfortunate run-ins with the police in the past, of course you want to have some sort of verbal defense if cops come knocking at the door. Shows everywhere encourage [...]
Look, everyone gets frazzled under pressure. Those who are reading this and say they don’t are lying — they just hide it better and like to brag. When you’re frazzled, you’re likelier to say stuff you shouldn’t say and do stuff you shouldn’t do, and a great way to get frazzled in the first place [...]
While there’s no such thing as a crime that the law is stoked you committed, there are certain crimes taken more seriously than others — and not just in the obvious “murder is worse than shoplifting” way. Some crimes carry moral weight to them. In other words, if you’re suspected of committing them, you are [...]
Yes, really. It’s a common and dangerous misconception that you have to actually raise your hand at your partner or child for it to be considered abuse — at least in our state. Sure, no SWAT team is going to kick down your door and tackle you if you jokingly threaten to kill your wife [...]
It’s not exactly a leap to say that the point of law is to deter crime. That’s what punishments like fines, jail time, and community service are for, and that is the basis of pretty much our entire justice system. You do the crime, you do the time — as often as needed. Yeah, this [...]
Look, I know what you’re going to say. It’s discipline! It’s how your pappy raised you and his pappy raised him and so on and so forth. What better way to instill respect and manners into a child than with fear of physical punishment? After all, it worked on you — you turned out just [...]
It is human nature to make mistakes. Being arrested for driving under the influence can be a frightening experience, and one that you immediately regret. Our justice system seeks to penalize those who break the law, and this goes for DUI offenses as well. This is how the legal system works. However, with proposed changes [...]
