This should apply to anyone. IMO engineers aren't special. As a human you should try not to fuck over other people.

Just bringing your stuff with you from one state to another could make you a felon, making people very locked in from moving across certain states. Someone in Idaho would become a felon for bringing their (Idaho legal) AR-15 into Californi

More like they trusted two (well actually three if you count US gov) centralized entities instead of one. It's like asking permission from both momma and pappa to eat desert. They should have just depended on the single entity backin

Lol almost no one in South America is laughing at USD. I've been to 3 of the 4 continents you mention and spent USD directly in all of them but Europe. Hello in many south america countries you get better prices even adjusted for tru

Aren't there lots of terrible crimes without a victim? Like smoking or growing plants, or owning an NFA restricted firearm item? So looking at victims may not tell the whole picture.

Exactly. If men are disproportionately in prison, maybe that isn't justice. Why is it ok for 'spaulding to just shut down the argument as "nothing about justice requires that punishment be meted out in strict accordance with

Looks like you're right, thanks. Gonna be a long time before he goes to jail then. Maybe Bahamas will charge him first to get him in jail and then US would be able to extradite as I doubt Bahaman charges would count toward US speed t

He can be imprisoned on one "sacrificial" offense for which they have probable cause but don't care much about.* Then reset the clock with a superseding indictment. * Note per below the sacrificial offense would be a Bahaman

No they responded that "AML/KYC violations " (the allegations they responded about) were "generally (although not always) victimless crimes." The violation wasn't money laundering the violation was not putting

I presume a gun in the hands of a federal employee is a potential danger and thus these government employees are violating endangerment law by engaging in armed enforcement of KYC/AML laws. Banks should have the presumption that collec

If someone can't have a fair judicial process the "path forward" is for them to have "jail time"? Fuck that, I praise Ghosn's actions.

At what population size is democracy acceptable? Is it bad to say live in a world with decentralized democracies i.e. say the US and Sweden are separate entities?

Depositing $50k in cash is not evidence of a victim. There should be no government imposed search without probable cause a crime has occurred thus it should be illegal (for government) to stop the anonymous deposit outside further evidence

I feel bad for them. They helped Ghosn escape an unfair justice system.

> Unless you can show that all use of cryptocurrency is benig So prove you're innocent. Yeah no thanks. I hope crypto finds a way to totally squash warrantless search of your documents (AKA KYC) to engage in finance.

Meanwhile if an actual police officer directs a private citizen to perform this kind of search, it's not only apparently legal but approved by the medical and nursing board. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/

Generally agree that the terminology is often different. I think Cody Wilson got put on the sex offender registry after he had sex with a 16 or 17 year old who presented a fake ID to a sugar daddy website, which was "verified" as

If breaking the law is dishonest because there are dishonest ways you can break the law, then speaking is dishonest because you can speak in ways where you tell a lie. This breaks down because merely speaking is not sufficient to show someo

That was basically the original idea of felonies. They were basically hanging offenses because they cannot be rehabilitated and/or the crime is so heinous it can never be forgiven. Instead felony has devolved into things like "ha
