it's not "illegal" in the sense that there exists actual legislation regarding magnets in toys, but if you put an unencapsulated magnet in a toy designed for kids under 5 the cpsc will probably make you recall it.

i have an idea for a great new product

first, you take a powerful magnet and then attach it to a kid's head

then, you relaunch jarts only with magnetic spikes so they're diverted from soft children skulls

Actually this isn't what happens at all. What happens is the police initiate a chase because you shoplifted $20 in merchandise from Walmart and massive damage and bodily injury results.

if you're doing something so incredibly illegal that the police would go to that effort surely you'd take off your license plate

when I moved the battery to the trunk on my old mustang I put the kill switch behind the license plate which could fold down and I considered putting a spring there to push the plate down if I ever felt like committing crimes

Criminals don't get arrested just because they're doing something illegal. They get arrested because they're being stupid about it.

perfection

the passenger used a racial slur then attacked the driver and beat him till he ran away and flagged down a passing car. then the passenger stole the uber driver's car and drove off with it. the uber driver follows him to his destination, at which point the passenger beats him up again, complete with more racial slurs. also the passenger was an off duty cop

uber has demonstrated their commitment to driver safety by...canceling the passenger's account. no other action taken, despite this little reminder that driving a taxi is one of the most dangerous jobs per capita and drivers get assaulted all the time

it's interesting that they charged the passenger with "using a vehicle without authority" instead of what he did, stealing it.

stealing requires the intent to keep it, the joyriding charge should be a much easier charge to prove. the real meat i'd think is the assault/battery charges?
