If only that were true. I've seen people take the law into their own hands far too often, among other bad decisions based on Internet conversations.
I'm going to repeat this exhortation every time I see someone armchair lawyering.
"Don't give legal advice" != "never discuss the law."
We live in a democracy. Every citizen is ultimately responsible for deciding what the law should be. It follows that we should talk about what the law currently is.
Correct. You crossed the boundary between discussing it and giving advice. I already explained how above:
> This isn't mere research and discussion; it's suggesting an outcome (i.e., "you're safe[r]"). That crosses a line into advice.
I did not bring it up in other threads because you weren't doing that then.
If you still don’t understand the problem, consult your own lawyer.
BTW, in nearly every state, it is unlawful to practice law without a license.
I think my comment makes clear that I don't even know what district the guy lives in. It simply discusses what the law is in the sixth district.
It doesn't matter whether you're targeting it at an individual or a group.
> It simply discusses what the law is in the sixth district.
That may have been your intent, but that is not what happened.
At this point, I think you're choosing not to get it despite the feedback. So I'm done with this discussion.
Glad you're done at last.
