Stex T posted:Sadly, it's pretty much guaranteed the suit would be successful. One of the first cases you learn in law school is about a 5 year old child who moves a chair right before a lady tries to sit down in it. The lady sues the kid's family for damages and succeeds. Congratulations on completely missing the purpose of that class. Is there a reasonable expectation that the hood of a vehicle is something that a reasonable person would a) jump on or b) sit on? Would or could doing either or a combination of said actions damage the vehicle? Would it be a reasonable action for the driver of the vehicle to move the vehicle in order to prevent the vehicle form a) being damaged b) prevent the vehicle from coming into contact with a person regardless of whether the person wants to come in contact with the vehicle? Now, reword these questions so that the vehicle is the chair and the driver is the baby and tell me what you get. The short answer is, the driver is probably going to win a civil suit. As far as entrapment goes: Entrapment is when a police officer directing traffic tells you to go through a red light and then gives you a ticket for going through said red light. Entrapment is not a police officer sitting at a red light and not doing anything to prevent you from running the red light but does pull you over as soon as you do. "Congrats on running a red light in front of a cop, dipshit," said everyone who has ever seen it happen. I don't know why everyone tries to make crazy scenarios about entrapment. Did you do the illegal act voluntarily? If yes, it isn't entrapment. Non-police/prosecution can never entrap because entrapment has to involve the justice system forcing you to commit a crime. Why anyone would use an example of a cop locking someone in a room and them busting out as an example of entrapment is beyond me. That has to be the worst example of what isn't entrapment that I have ever heard. Congrats at describing a prison break as entrapment. Data Graham, I see your point but I'm just going to say it is common knowledge that girls love flowers given as gifts more than if they purchased them themselves. In that context, posies is an acceptable answer. Edit: To Catch a Predator Talk, I always assumed that the TV show pulled a Florida Police Department and said the candy/toy was to bribe the child to go the gently caress away so the 'predator' could bang the legal chick. Only without asset forfeiture laws being enacted and a poo poo load of editing. Two Feet From Bread has a new favorite as of 07:07 on Dec 30, 2016 |

I mean, the name 'entrapment' is pretty clear. Were you unfairly trapped into committing a crime you were then charged for? If yes, you may well have a solid case! If you went after a girl who you 100% thought was underage when at any time you could have just not tried to gently caress a child, then you probably didn't get trapped. To Catch a Predator's 'low conviction rate' had nothing to do with entrapment and more to do with poo poo like plea deals. People only think entrapment is some rampant thing because every idiot who gets arrested in a sting shouts 'ENTRAPMENT'.

Yes, because the whole thing is clearly staged and the driver knows what the jumping guy is trying to slide across. Two Feet From Bread posted:Would or could doing either or a combination of said actions damage the vehicle? It doesn't matter, because the jumping guy is the plaintiff. Two Feet From Bread posted:Would it be a reasonable action for the driver of the vehicle to move the vehicle in order to prevent the vehicle form a) being damaged b) prevent the vehicle from coming into contact with a person regardless of whether the person wants to come in contact with the vehicle? No, because it's reasonably certain the jumping guy is going to fall on his rear end which constitutes battery.

There's a whole bunch of cases of people burglarizing homes or causing some kind of criminal mischief who got injured in the act and sued the people they were committing crimes against. A bunch of them ended up with damages being awarded to the injured criminal. https://besteverawards.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/most-ridiculous-lawsuits-ever-ever/

I remember reading years ago about how the demographic with the highest rate of "misunderstandings of the law" over "confidence in your understanding of the law" was police officers. Still fits today!

Couldn't possibly be that they saw someone, realized they were blocking the sidewalk and decided to back up to let them pass, I guess. I'd do the same thing in that situation because no part of me would be thinking "oh, they want to slide across the hood of my car like they do in the movies".

I'm reading it as driver and jumping guy are friends, and driver tells jumper to slide across the hood for the camera, and driver then backs up for comedy's sake.

BovineFury posted:I can make it, I can make it. I remember reading about why animals like squirrels and deer always jump in front of oncoming vehicles even if they can see them coming. If I remember correctly, against predators they've learned to run in front of the incoming cougar or wolf because it catches the predator off-guard and often causes them to overshoot and have to turn around, while simply turning and running away immediately lets the chaser stay on their tail and potentially catch up. Of course, they just react as if oncoming cars are just predators chasing them. And they unfortunately aren't quite fast enough to cut in front of a BMW going at 75 MPH.

Even when I worked at a chain grocery, I let people steal whatever they could carry cause it was usually obviously poor or homeless people & who am I to mess with their dinner plans? That guy doesn't even get paid and does it anyway. Also I'm not a snitch.

Apparently he saw someone put on a cheap hat that was near the checkout and leave, and he was absolutely furious that nobody stopped this guy. A lot of, "well, maybe I should just steal something since you obviously don't care" type comments. I think some people just don't like when others get away with things they couldn't or wouldn't do.

Crab mentality, and Just World belief;bad people get what they deserve, thus anybody that wasn't punished is innocent and anybody punished must be bad. So when they see someone that obviously did something bad get away with it their brains

Dumbass paywall) Which is kinda schadenfreude on America for allowing a huge rear end business suck money from the government's teat.

I don't doubt almost all of those lawsuits are fake, but I remember a textbook detailing a case of a burglar suing a homeowner for injuries suffered during a break-in. That's not to say it happens, just that the planets aligned just long enough for one case to result in a ridiculous verdict that can now be referenced whenever anyone wants to bitch about our justice system. I personally enjoy listening to 'Handel on the Law' for all the disappointed people who think they have lawsuits without actual monetary damages or who think 'pain and suffering' is still a thing you get without a whole lot of therapy and treatment.
