What the accused has told the police will be usable by all sides equally in court.

And the side arguing against you will use your words to assist you?

German courts aren’t special. All courts work the same. You are innocent until proven guilty. You do not need evidence of innocence. All evidence is to prove guilt. The prosecution is attempting to prove guilt. Police collect evidence to prove guilt because proving innocence is not required. Both sides can use evidence collected, yes, that’s the same everywhere, but it’s not collected to prove innocence. You are assumed innocent. No evidence required. If evidence is being collected it’s specifically to be used against you to prove guilt.

It makes zero sense for police to collect evidence of your innocence, the state to charge you with a crime, and then argue you are innocent of that charge. You are assumed innocent. Arguments that you are innocent are not required. Evidence that you are innocent are not required. Statements that you make can’t be used to prove you are innocent. You are innocent by default. Statements that you make can therefore only be used prove guilt.

Damn $32.50 a month for the full tier? That puts them way above every other MMO.

This site says:

One of the most critical measures in the preliminary proceedings is questioning the alleged crime participants and witnesses to what happened. No statement should be made without legal counsel at this stage (especially when the police open up to the suspect to interrogate them as an “accused”). Investigators are trained to ask questions that could put the suspect in a bind and are increasingly success-oriented. This often results in hasty, ill-considered and incriminating statements, which can be used against the accused in the main proceedings.

Which sounds an awful lot like German police can and will use your words against you in court.

Every country on Earth? Is there someplace police accuse people of crimes and then argue why they’re wrong?

Cops don’t collect evidence to prove your innocence. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Never for you. You and your lawyer provide your own evidence. The cops won’t be collecting it for you.

In functional programming, everything is an expression (of frustration).

That’s definitely a terrible take but there’s no reason to downvote it. I don’t think you’re trolling. You just have a different opinion and that’s fine.

This comment

The post was a news story about a sports arena calling a kid to the front and saying Santa got him a new PS5 but they didn’t end up giving him one.

A top comment claimed this is legally considered theft. I replied saying it’s shitty but it’s not legally theft. Got 91 downvotes for that.

All my other downvoted comments come from posting in video game communities about how I don’t think video games need to exist forever.

I can’t imagine why someone would pirate this video instead of just watching the original…oh

Thanks, you too!

The headline makes it seem like it’s just gamers but it’s more about the overall gender divide in South Korea. It’s a very interesting read. Men in South Korea feel like they’re struggling to get by and women wanting fairer treatment is being seen as wanting to make things even more difficult for men. It seems like it’s heading towards a tipping point.

The charges for murder vary by State. Here’s a New York lawyer explaining Murder 1 vs Murder 2 as it relates to New York State law. Murder 2 is regular premeditated murder. Murder 1 is murder with the intent of influencing or intimidating government ie. Terrorism. The lawyer in this interview suggests the Terrorism charge is, ironically, politically motivated, but it will be difficult to actually prove beyond a doubt that Luigi’s intentions were to change government policies and not just get even with someone he disliked.

In most places murder 1 is premeditated murder and murder 2 is manslaughter. Murder 1 in New York is different.

The South African President?

I have never heard of “unconditional discharge” being a possible sentence for a crime. It’s like they made it up just for Trump.

Depends on the country. The Canadian government lists several special medical diets for prisoners. Food allergies is one but they list quite a bit like diets for diabetic or pregnant prisoners. For all these diets the prisoner must be diagnosed and can’t simply request it because they want it.

A diet of conscience is a requested diet for religious or moral beliefs. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms requires prisoners recieve a diet that conforms to their beliefs should they be able to adequately describe and demonstrate adherence to them.

Im going to assume OnlyFans doesn’t do that because they want to. They’d likely be harassed by government if they didn’t.

Pornhub had to remove all unverified videos (which was most of their videos) and now anyone who uploads must follow similar rules that OnlyFans has. Pornhub posted an announcement saying they reported 118 instances of child abuse materials while Facebook reported 84,000,000 but that somehow they’re the ones being threatened to be shutdown unless they implement more rules.

Glad I don’t have to give up eating beaver for Lent

There are dietary laws for Catholics, specifically about fasting and abstaining from meat consumption, but they vary wildly by region. For example, Canadian Catholics are permitted to eat meat on Friday if they perform an act of charity, read the Bible, or pray more than usual. Just make sure you’re Canadian or else God will be mad.

“At the same time, he worked to send massive quantities of heroin and methamphetamine to the United States in exchange for heavy-duty weaponry such as surface-to-air missiles to be used on battlefields in Burma,” he added.

And I thought the plotlines of the Yakuza series were a little crazy. Turns out they weren’t crazy enough.

I think it’s the first one. A lie starts small but can quickly grow out of control. It’s from the poem “Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field” which is about a man romantically pursuing a woman by making up lies about her current fiancé and ultimately results in all their lives being changed for the worst.
