I work at a job I hate, and had to sign a non compete agreement when I was hired. A competitor is moving in to town and I'm sure I'd have an easy time getting the job with my experience. Can I just ghost my current employer (or just give them 2 week notice and just say I hate it so much that I'd rather be unemployed)? I'm not friends with any of my co-workers outside of work nor on any social media.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdil/pr/local-waterfowl-outfitter-pleads-guilty-unlawful-guided-hunt Was curious what “unlawful sale of wildlife” was. Still unclear, but do appreciate that the geese that were killed unlawfully were killed by federal agents. Speaking of non-compete clauses, that guy is banned from hunting or guiding for 24 months which is a pretty tough one.

Criminal law also has a concept of efficient breach, it’s just harder to calculate the relevant values.

Modern sports cards have redemptions, where the card manufacturer does not have the card signed by a certain player at the time they send the product to packaging. Instead they put a redemption card with a code that you enter online. Then when the player signs the card. They mail it to you. Sometimes they take years to receive. I know of one person who has been waiting nearly a decade. Are these redemption cards a legal offer? At what point does selling redemptions that they have no intention of fulfilling considered fraude? I realize that some will say they are just cards, grow up/ get over it. However some of these redemptions can be worth several thousand dollars. There is currently a $500,000 bounty offered by blowoutcards.com for a 1/1 signed card this year. joebuddah fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Sep 3, 2020 |

Saw a story about a woman suing Easyjet for being pressured into moving because Ultra Orthodox men refused to sit next to a woman. https://igvofficial.com/update-woman-sues-easyjet-for-15000-after-they-made-her-move-seat-because-shes-female/ Her lawyer is going after them because the fact it happened on Israeli tarmac, and the law prohibits discrimination based on sex. That sounds insane to me, how can an airline be sued for breaching the law in a country it lands in? Is it insane? Could I sue an airline for selling alcohol in a dry county or something? How would something like this even work? e: For that matter, if the laws of whatever country you're landed in apply, how much do the laws of whatever country the airline is operating out of matter? Can you just ignore them one you clear the airspace? Do airlines hire lawyers to make sure they don't break law X in country Y so protect themselves from litigation? sleepy.eyes fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Sep 4, 2020 |

Famously the plane that carried the embassy escapees home from Iran (depicted in Argo) couldn't serve alcohol until leaving Iranian airspace. There's treaties and agreements, but in general, their airspace, their laws.

I could see someone thinking that airports, or the insides of airplanes, might be special in a similar way that embassies are special. I have a random question: has anyone ever tried to argue that the President, as commander in chief, is subject to military justice and can be court-martialed? I would suppose not, since the President is a civilian and also could just fire any officer trying to sit as his judge, but lots of asinine arguments get floated and this one sounds like a fun one.

More along the lines of, in the US you have to sue an entity in a place where it has a physical presence (or so I hear, no being a lawyer or someone who keep track of this stuff hell if I know). Does Easyjet count as having a physical presence in a place it lands? I was curious about how suing a foreign company would work across international boundaries. As usual, I didn't get my meaning across very well. I didn't know about the Iranian airspace= no drinks thing on account of me not being a globetrotter. I'm just wondering how all that kinda stuff pans out with different countries. sleepy.eyes fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Sep 4, 2020 |

This is probably confusion around being in an international terminal/pre-customs, which for many countries has a weird status. You're there, but not really. Ninja edit to address above: EasyJet may or may not have a physical presence. The plane being there doesn't give them one. My company doesn't have a physical presence in some country I'm in just because they sent me there and/or their laptop that was issued to me is there. But perhaps they do have a legal entity in that country, for gate agents, maintenance, facilities. Or maybe they don't because that's all contracted out and paid for by a business entity in a different country. Motronic fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Sep 4, 2020 |

Look, international boundaries are shown on maps on the ground, right? So if you're flying, you aren't crossing those boundaries, you're going OVER them, therefore you must still be in the country of origin, and thus not bound by the local laws.

I'm just wondering how all that kinda stuff pans out with different countries. Fundamentally you can sue someone anywhere the sovereign that runs that court system says you can. A judgment might not be useful to you though. Like Lichtenstein could declare that their courts will now allow suits about petty thefts in North Dakota, just no one with power in North Dakota will enforce anything they say. Actual world sovereigns have complex rules on what they will allow in their courts (and treaties with other sovereigns about enforcement outside their territory). Iran says 'our laws apply to planes in our airspace' and enforce it with what domestic power they have and internationally via treaty. Extreme real world versions of this are usually around atrocities. Like some states allow prosecutions for things like genocide even if the perpetrators & victims aren't their nationals and the crimes all occurred outside their territory.

As in; that country would allow itself to send a bounty hunter to black bag a foreign national who's committed *crime* and drag him back to see justice? Or just say 'we found that guy guilty of crimes against humanity which is illegal here. But we can't actually do anything about it'.
