Yay that's like a cheat code
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?
So, in which states is it illegal for all of you felons to vote? I mean, that's the consequence of these laws, right, there are states where no one has the legal right to vote...
Of course, I am innocent of all charges.
None that applies to me as I've never visited the US 😆

"average person breaks 473 laws a day" factoid actually just statistical error. average person breaks 0 laws per day. Criminal Georg, who lives in a prison and breaks over 1,823,020 each second, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
can't believe the statisticians made such a bad mistake
cookie clicker reference?
fun fact for this supposed 0 average and 1 outlier story to be true, this person would have to break 155,238,600,000 laws per day
or: 6,468,275,000 per hour / 107,804,583.333... per minute / 1,796,743.05556 per second
That was a surprisingly good guess well done
@@kiweping5 It wasn't a guess, I went and did (very shoddy) math on this
@@PretzelLunar Absolutely.
When you accidentally break the law hundreds of times a day, the law is the problem.
Did you miss the next sentence where he said he made that statistic up?
That’s not exactly disproving their point
Laws are generally stupid because a bunch just not get repealed or have weird interpretations no one actually accepts
For example a good chunk of people disagree that ideas should be treated like private property because they exist in completely different areas so we shouldn’t define @stealing” ideas like characters (IP) like we define stealing property because no matter how often he’s used you can never run out of darth maul (no matter how much Lucasfilm milks him)
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

Back in middle school there would often be art students breaking down and crying in the hallway after their brand new (and typically very expensive) markers were confiscated. Most of them were never able to get their markers back :(

Wait, a detective got a man killed by convincing him to break the law and sending a SWAT team to his house? WHAT?
And don't be surprised if that detective has a medal sitting on their shelf that they were awarded with because of that.
For gambling no less.
The police have killed for less than a $2k infraction. Have to wonder about our law enforcement system.
I guess you could say that breaking the law is bad for your health.
@@___LC___ I think you're missing the point, the cost is not the surprising part here
Since the detective coerced him into betting over $2k, which was something he wouldn’t have done normally (hence the coercion), he was entrapped. Hope his family got a good lawyer.
If they do I expect they'll be more likely to sue for shooting him dead when unarmed and posing no threat than they will for entrapment.
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)

I know I'm hella late to this but as someone who actually really enjoys mirror etching, I thought I'd explain since I didn't see anyone else do it. Etching cream is a substance you can apply to glass or mirrors (I'm sure other things but this is what I learned it on) and, when applied properly, gives you a foggy look and allows you to make designs and the like.
The way it was explained to me was you take the markers that are made for car windows with the foam tips and replace the original paint with paint mixed with etching liquid. Then you can tag on glass and the paint can't be washed off

I always knew that sharing a Netflix account (or any other online subscription) was technically illegal, but that law is almost completely unenforceable because there's no easy way to prove that multiple people are using the same account.

4. Killed for "resisting" during the Swat event
Pretty sure that was Entrapment and the person would be acquitted if brought to court. But it doesn't matter now since they're dead.
I second this! This case sounds so crazy, I tried looking up the details myself but didn't come up with much.

I just wanna say, as someone who isn't a lawyer, but did take a cybersecurity course in college, the "Lawyer-speak in 3, 2, 1" made me very confused, followed by total understanding as soon as the words Computer Fraud and Abuse Act appeared, because we also covered the CFAA in my *Ethics in IT* course.

Yup, and no justice was served; in fact the same swat team that killed him nine years later killed another innocent person.
@@interrexclamacion I just read both articles on it, and that was probably one of the more disturbing things I have seen. Unfortunately, these sort of events will keep happening unless a federal law is passed for these sort of behaviors. There are a lot of protections these people get, and as a result, they are barely held accountable.
Dog, read high price or chasing the scream. There have been numerous worse cases in the US such as cops posing as bf/gf to a mark, asking them to buy drugs, and bring it to their workplace, not even to bust the person, but to bring down the whole organization they work for. It's wild what people will do to uphold the status quo.
nop. there was also that time where a detective made a person with the mental state of a 5 year old "confess" to a serial killing. that person was then sentenced to death and executed just because the detective wanted fame.
My 'favorite' was the Baltimore cops who covered up their drug running operation by framing innocent people for their own actions...including murder.

"Lots of cities and states love to fight high housing costs by making it harder to build more housing" My MAN
And then of course punish the people who can't afford housing by outlawing sleeping on the streets.
And then presumably walk home with money-stuffed sacks from private prison corporations who were helped rake it in.
@@chuckyxii10
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?
Right? I so want a tiny house because I absolutely don't need/want anything bigger. But apparently they're going to shove the "American dream" home down my throat whether I want it /can afford it or not.
Nobody seems to understand that if there is zero legal restriction, Hong Kong pod houses will become the norm for a lot of cities, and they’ll just stay the same price anyway
@@RabidDog20 That still sounds like a market problem. I'm restricted from building a tiny house on my own for cheaper than a "Hong Kong pod house," because what? Competition is bad now, and I'm forced into a monstrosity that I don't need want? Sounds like a lazy, thinly veiled excuse to keep poor people from owning their own houses and forcing them to rent.
As to “law” number 10, when I was 22 or 23 I got fined $50 by a cop who saw me sitting on a subway staircase. The citation was for “obstructing pedestrian traffic.”

9:34 Wifi equipment usually defaults to requiring a password to join. If you intentionally change settings to allow anyone to join without a password and don't post signs restricting who's allowed or something, isn't any access to the network authorized?
My home country, Finland, made connecting to unsecured Wifi networks explicitly legal to stop debates over that question since it was felt that a typical person wouldn't necessarily even realize they shouldn't do it if one was within the range of their device and the device offered to connect to it.
Part of me thinks the "Netflix password sharing" is so varied and conflicted in the courts because the lawyers and judges involved can think of at least five people in their life who do it, or have been involved in it themselves.
It's also nebulous because members of a household legally share a single account. When we upgraded our mobile plan, we got 2-screen Netflix included. But my wife signed on first, so the Netflix account is on her user id. But she has a user profile and I have a user profile. We also have the standard "Kids" profile - even though we have none at home.
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? There's no real legal distinction for using a password to access Netflix online vs your Bank online (although if you take money out you may violate more things)
Or how about lets say your friend shares their Netflix password with you and you then use that password to upgrade their account costing them more money each month, if there is no identity verification component is that illegal? 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?
I'm not saying there can't be solutions but the laws/rulings would have to get very technical in ways they currently avoid doing
@@Zevoxian well I think that you are impersonating someone else when you use their information to access their info without their express permission, so you probably couldn't do the first thing. If it isn't, then fine I think that is a risk trade you do when giving away your password
The second is probably some form of theft, as you are using someone elses money for your own benefit because you are using the screen share system as well right?
If you are sharing outside your house to avoid having to pay the premiums it seems this should be illegal if netflix does not openly permit it.
"Sit-Lie ordinance"
Ah yes criminalization of the homeless.
And being disabled!
hopelessness...
Not to mention those of us walking dogs who sit down to give the dog water or to give the dog a rest. I often go on very long walks and take a little 10-15 minute break after every mile. When it's 90+ degrees (Fahrenheit) out there, those breaks are the difference between a great and healthy walk and heat stroke affecting me and/or my dog. We sit on the edge of the sidewalk. I had NO idea I might be arrested for it!
Nice pfp lol
Yeah, that one is lame. Even if I'm sitting on the sidewalk, as long as I can move, I'm not blocking it. "Excuse me, sir." "Oh, sorry about that" *moves* No need to make a criminal case about it.
I remember before casinos in Victoria, a suburban house was raided by police and a roulette wheel seized. Some of the gamblers were indignant as it was a fund raiser for a community club.
The final law about sitting or lying down on sidewalks also affects certain physically disabled people. 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). That combined with chronic pain in the legs worsened by standing and walking for an extended period of time means I often end up sitting on the ground to catch my breath, particularly since I use forearm crutches as opposed to a wheelchair as forearm crutches provide me more freedom.
When it comes to the detective who convinced the man to bet more that $2000, isn't that considered entrapment?
The cop has to do more than just suggest it. He would need to be overbearing on it.
By definition, it most definitely is. The man was making legal bets with friends. The detective went out if his way to connect with the guy and then convinced him to bet higher just to arrest him. I hope the mans wife got paid
@@andrewt.5567 This is incorrect. You need to commit a crime on your own. If a LEO tells you that you should commit a crime, and even gives you the opportunity, motive, or tools necessary, that absolutely is entrapment.
Should it be? Probably! Would the legal system consider it entrapment? Probably not! Also the amount of fury in my system after hearing that someone died in that raid could probably be used as a renewable energy source
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.
one thing I love about this channel is the brutal honesty about how messed up the system is. "Lots of cities and states like to fight the high cost of housing by making it harder to build more housing". Then again, I'd be surprised if any competent lawyer wasn't acutely aware of the abundance of systemic failure in this country.
And at the same time they try to get rid of the homeless without giving them a way out.
At the same time, you really don't want it to be legal to cram people into what are basically broom cupboards with a toilet. That's how you get (even more) epidemics.
Those same lawyers are all tacitly supporting the same corruption. Over legislating makes a good market for those in law. Remember what table they eat from.
I mean technically they always have 2 ways out of the streets
Death and the corrupt prisons
I never said they were reasonable
"Being acutely aware of the abundance of systemic failure in this country" is an occupational hazard of being a lawyer!
-We live in Northern Nevada. My mother's 1985 Jeep Wagoneer has to be warmed up for several minutes in cold weather. Enough time for her to go back in the house and get her stuff ready to go. But, my 2000 Lincoln LS only needs to warm in the mere minutes. Long enough for me to sit in the seat, buckle up, put my purse and stuff where they belong, set my radio, put my cell phone, in etc. And I'm pretty fast and doing those things. Barely a couple of minutes. It was amazed at how fast the RPMs go back down to 1,000, when I first got the vehicle, almost two years ago. At its age, it still has less than 50,000 miles on it!
-He befriends Caluso so that he could get him to accept a bet of over $2,000? Unless it was a an official undercover ... whatever, approved by his boss, that sounds almost like entrapment. And it most definitely should not have lead to anybody's death. I understand the need for gambling laws. Laws should be taken seriously. If you don't, make sure that they are worth breaking. But, just on the information given, his was not serious enough to cause a death over. It wasn't like they were doing a raid on a murderer, rapist, or underage sex ring, or something. Well, I hope his family had grounds for a lawsuit of an unlawful death (or some equivilent) for that one!

That tiny house law I both agree and disagree with. I think it prevents massive housing developments of tiny homes; this is actually a good thing as those developments might start to look less like tiny homes and more like expensive appartment/condo complexes which defeats the point of a tiny home. The reason why I disagree with it is that people should be able to get a normal plot size and have a tiny home with the purpose of living in it. Generally I think the law should have been better written
Basically, just forego the law until the house is to be sold or rented. A person should be allowed to build and live in any house that is not inherently dangerous. But if they want to rent or sell it at any point in time, the house must be abiding by the regulations at that time or be razed/modified before the transaction can take place.
Damn easy solution that instantly dismissed any 'bad faith profiting' off of things that for some are just preference or necessity, while for others would have been an annoyance or harm.

Train was over an hour out and they had ZERO benches or anywhere to sit "legally" they just expected children and old people to stand (they also hassled people leaning against the walls) for an hour waiting for a train they bought tickets for.
You should have to do it anyway. Tell them to arrest all or f off.
As someone who lives up north, not warming up your engine can potentially DAMAGE your car! So getting a fine for it would probably cause protests. Since engine coil can actually freeze at -20F, And last winter it was -40F! 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!
In addition, If you don’t warm up your car, the windshield will almost always frost over on the inside when driving, making it impossible to see! Not to mention it’s hard to drive while shaking and shivering with gloves on!

I'm not a judge so I can't give my input, but since it's so commonplace in this country and the taxpayers don't like to waste their money on literally the American population as a whole, it's overlooked.
I would have been arrested for using public wi-fi years ago.

That ain't illegal
In the late 90's, a cop in NYC hit me in the leg with a nightstick. He said that I could not sit on _his_ sidewalk. He then told me to get up and start walking. The way he spoke and opened the interaction with violence made me think he was going to seriously hurt me so I just scampered off and sat down somewhere else.
So I wonder, does freedom of speech allow you to say something like "this ain't your sidewalk, pig"?
@@streettrialsandstuff The law of "bigger army diplomacy" says you can't.
@@streettrialsandstuff it should. And cops swear an oath to the constitution. But at the end of the day, they have a badge and a gun. And that means they can do whatever they want. They simply think and act like they are above us because, legally, in terms of what they can get away with, they are.
@@streettrialsandstuff it absolutely does, if you don’t care about becoming the next police brutality case
I think if that would go to court, it would come down to semantics. I can see the case for them moving you, because they might want to prevent homeless sleeping there, but at the same time you have a good case that you were just taking a break or were waiting for someone, which is totally legal.
Still no reason to open a conversation with violence.
While watching 'You Definitely Broke These Laws' you mentioned etching cream. Etching cream is a white cream that looks a bit like white school glue. 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.
12:14 this had been challenged in my nation ... because the sell of an used item i bought it's not exactly really income if i buy it full price and sell it as used... maybe in america too
I like how you just casually edged into the entire discussion about suburban zoning by talking about effective the tiny house bans but didn't even comment on the other range of Byzantine regulations that in practice force suburbia to be car focuses.

Etching cream is an acidic cream used to etch glass. While this is usually used to decorate glassware, you can see how it could be used to deface windows, windshields, and other stuff
Remember they can't sue for entrapment if they're dead.
Yeah, brilliant police cooperation. Also, not that costly: The guy who shot the victim got 3 weeks suspension _without pay_ . Collegues protested that this was a way too harsh punishment.
Starting to deal with killer cops as what they often are in those cases: murderers might be a good idea.

@@zyffyr same
Now eBay automatically deducts taxes for you out of what you made on a sale.
10:45 I think when they say etching cream they’re talking about mirror etching cream. We put some on mirrors in art to make the glass all icy and we put designs on them that we didn’t etch over

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.
Truck drivers have a higher standard, you must blood test a .00, even a .01 is illegal for someone driving a commercial vehicle on a CDL. So unless one plans to sleep off the drinking overnight, no more driving for commercial truck drivers.
@@Carahan I wonder if that would hold (or has held) up to an appeal challenge. Demanding a 0.00 result is unreasonable since it should fail a “rational basis” test in my opinion.
There should have to be some evidence of actual impairment by a significant portion of people at 0.01 for that to be legit.
@@Carahan not quite. The maximum allowable bac for commercial drivers is .04, half of a noncommercial driver, regardless of the type or nature of the vehicle being operated (personal vehicle or work vehicle). The law also requires a minimum of 10 hours between the consumption of alcohol and the operation of a commercial vehicle.
@@Carahan That's the point, its illegal to drink in or have an open bottle of alcohol in a vehicle even if you're not planning to drive it. It sounds like the guy had finished his distance for the day and was having a beer or something before bed.
@@justins8802 the drinking limit in the Czech Republic is 0. If you drink you cannot drive at all. Which is interesting because the Czech Republic has the highest consumption of beer in the world!!

For anyone else who's wondering: Etching cream is an acidic liquid used for highlighting cuts made into a glass surface.

It's better to wash the itch with soap
Yeah, and it's used for graffiti a lot in some areas. In San Francisco pretty much every window at street level has a tag etched into it.

"I just made that up" in that tone is so funny omg
I have an issue with the warning of one's vehicle. In cold weather, it is important to warm the vehicle up to bring the fluids up to operating temperature (or close to it), e.g., oil transmission fluid, etc. If you don't, then it can lead to issues down the road over time.
I break the law every time we need to restock our ambulance at the hospital. We just call it borrowing.

It is technically borrowing. The hospital will get the supplies back when you bring someone, using said supplies, to the hospital.
I was once threatened by a cop for the crime of standing near my own parked car (not idling either).
In my old home state of Vermont, it's illegal to reverse a car on any road, so backing out of or into a driveway or parking space is illegal.
I’m very annoyed by New Jersey’s “head-in parking only” city lots. What, why? Totally less safe to mandate that.
That's BS, how are you supposed to back into a driveway or parking spot then?

"Your mileage may vary" Wouldn't idling your car have the same mileage for everyone? 0 miles?

Depends on the slope and if the wheels are locked right
I interpreted that as, your mileage per tank would decrease due to excess idling.
As far as I'm aware mileage refers to the distance a vehicle can cover on a full tank of gas. This is used in my country (New Zealand) despite the fact we measure with the metric system.
Lets not let pedantry get in the way of a good pun ;)
Hot take: laws everyone breaks are there for the government to be able to arrest anyone they don't like.
It's the Al Capone principle.
This is a lukewarm take at best.
Most of these can't even get you arrested
I know it'll never happen both because of the amount of work it would take and how convenient the current state of affairs is, but it would be nice if every 25 years or so there was a mandatory review of all laws on the books and old or outdated ones get the chop. Or modernized if there aren't more current laws that handle things better. Having laws passed 50 years ago ( or longer! ) that are no longer relevant to society today still be upheld in court and used to go after people is pretty disgusting.
That's not even a very hot take. It's one of those things that a year ago, I would've sworn was a conspiracy theory, but just look at the war on drugs. Criminalizing drug addiction was a way to criminalize being poor and non-white. Just look at the fact that white addicts would tend to get much lighter sentences, while marijuana dispensaries tend to be owned by white folks while black dealers are still penalized.
10:53 what do you personal property, I’ll spray paint my personal property all I want
Idling your car (when starting it from cold/not up to operating temperature) is better for your car. 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.
A nice reminder that law and morality are not the same thing.
Thanks!

@@TonyHammitt I believe it would not break the law no matter the place he is, since it is a made up character from a fantasy world that can not be mistaken for a real person and no profit can come from it. Also it is highly unlikely that anyone would believe that such person is real never mind trusting him enough to give him money. (I don't know if that's how it is. If it's not and this is considered catfishing/impersonating something is going really bad with the current law system. Imagine getting arrested for role-playing a 4305 year old female elf.

To take the exaggeration further, if i were to sit on the sidewalk because of my disability and get "caught" , would i be able to sue for discrimination?

Well damn. you got me for buying etching supplies (used to etch glass, BTW.

I just looked it up, it doesn't appear so.
It happened back in 2006, the family got a two million dollar settlement in 2011 and the swat officer who shot him was suspended without pay for three weeks. The police department was also heavily criticized for overusing their swat team however I'm not sure if anything came of that.
Remember watching a cop reality show, where the State Troopers always asked "When was the last time you smoked marijuana?". Obviously a trap, if you say ten years ago, they would use your "Confession" as an excuse to search your car. Now they can ask "When was the last time you played bet on sports?" And seize your money in your wallet as an Asset Forfeiture.
As covered by this Lawyer well in depth. NEVER TALK TO THE COPS EVER ON ANYTHING WHICH INCLUDES NEVER ANSWER ANY QUESTION THEY ASK EXCEPT DO YOU WANT A LAWYER YOU SAY YES AND YES TO INVOKING YOUR RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. see video it very convincing. If you want to cooperate do it though a lawyer.
I got asked "twice in a row" how much alcohol I had consumed tonight." As the answer was none, (I was merely a little tired,) I answered none, both times. It occurred to me that they do this to get people who WERE drinking and LIED the first time to crack and come clean. Most interesting.

Feels like the restriction on tiny houses is to protect renters from slimy landlords that would rent a crawl space as a “spacious family apartment” if they could
There’s a special bug-infested, stinking of sewer, amenityless, insanely overpriced, ridiculously loud, non-maintained broom closet in hell for slumlords.

I'm suspiciously looking at the Real Estate and Landlord lobbyists on this one...probably the Chamber of Commerce too. It makes little sense to me to make laws against tiny houses, unless they were living in a dangerous, heavily polluted, or environmentally destructive zones.

Etching cream is an acid you can put on glass to dissolve it. You can permanently etch a design into glass and the only solution is to remove and replace that piece of glass. It's super super scummy and expensive so that is pretty fair to make harder to obtain.
