In Seinfeld the main characters committed many crimes against decency. Some of these acts were actually illegal, e.g.:
Now, some of the dastardly acts the main characters on Seinfeld committed on the show weren't actually illegal but were still bad enough to be termed crimes against decency. One such act that comes to mind is George double-dipping. He was at a party, situated right next to a bowl of tasty dip and crackers. He repeatedly took a cracker, dipped it, took a bite, then dipped it again.  The habitually selfish baldy fuckhead got rightfully called out on this bad behaviour by another party guest guy, who had to explain to George about how he didn't want to eat his remnant saliva in the dip. Of course self-centred assclown George was non-compliant and kept double-dipping like a dirty loving pig1 , resulting in the offended guy getting mad and physically fighting George to remove the bowl of chips from him.In the (2-episode) series ending, the gang (Jerry, Kramer, George and Elaine) are arrested and tried in court for watching an armed robbery and doing nothing about it, not even going around a corner and calling the cops.2 Various negative character witnessed, people who've known the gang, share testimony about nasty acts the gang have committed, solo and in various combinations. Some of the acts mentioned were illegal, some were what we're calling here crimes against decency. https://collider.com/seinfeld-series-ending-explainedl/ What legal 'crimes against decency' do you remember from the Seinfeld TV series? 1 Wait, sorry, that's an insult to actual 4-legged pigs. 2 Prosecuted under a fictional state 'Good Samaritan Law'. The gang had watched the entire robbery while swapping jokes about it and yokking it up. (Yeah, gently caress them). tl;dr: What legal 'crimes against decency' do you remember from the Seinfeld TV series? BigBadSteve fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Jan 21, 2024 |

What about the time George misappropriates the eclair from the place that the mother of the lady he was dating was storing it. He even remarks on the presentation of the item which was stored on a doily from the place he removed it from. It could be argued that it was soon to enter the realm of public domain. Or that food left out for guests could be consumed at will.

Some of the acts mentioned were illegal, some were what we're calling here crimes against decency. as I understand it, in the united states, "duty to act" laws, meaning laws that hold individuals criminally responsible for not doing something, generally only apply if you yourself created a hazardous situation or if the person in peril is your spouse, a child under your care, an employee, or a guest on your property. there are a few states that, on paper, require bystanders to alert authorities, but these are rarely if ever enforced because they're extremely unlikely to hold up in court due to existing legal precedence

Buce posted:the time kramer kidnaps and murders all those people That was when Kramer was in Hollywood, and the police there were convinced he was a serial killer, for reasons. From memory, the cops let Kramer go, after they held him for a number of days (and mercilessly grilled him repeatedly til he literally cried), after the murders continued while he was inside. Don't believe everything you hear, including from cops, fictional or real life. I've noticed a few times that the cops where I am (Australia) are way too keen about arresting and charging family members in some cases, particularly suspected child murders. The classic case of this will be remembered even to many non-Australians for the phrase, "A dingo ate my baby!", (murder suspect Lindy Chamberlain's repeated exclamation at the time, which turned out to be the truth). Kramer is of course humorously eccentric, which takes most of the viewer's attention, but tends to be pretty selfish/self-centred with it (if he wasn't, he wouldn't be friends with the rest of the gang [Jerry, George and Elaine], they wouldn't be compatible). Like the rest of the gang, often his selfishness isn't immediately apparent, but is frequently there, nonetheless. You know, the ending of the series surprised me and probably a lot of other regular viewers; various behaviours of the gang, solo and in combination, which I'd watched in multiple episodes, were really more reprehensible than I'd noticed when watching them before seeing the finale. I think this is one reason some people don't like the finale (but I liked it). BigBadSteve fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Jan 21, 2024 |

Cubone posted:Interestingly, the crime that got them arrested was actually likely legal in real life. so-called "good samaritan laws" are actually an unrelated set of laws that exist to protect people who provide reasonable assistance to those they believe to be injured or in peril. I'll take your word for it that real-life 'good samaritan laws' in the U.S. do what you say they do, and even take your word for all the other claims you make. Ultimately, however, this is a TV series, the stories and many concepts in it are fictional. I'm guessing anyway that the term 'good samaritan law' is generally not an official term, but one used unofficially to describe certain type(s) of law. The term would probably used in media reports and in discussion by the politicians who passed those laws, but I'm guesstimating the term is never used in text of the actual legislation concerned. As an unofficial term, its use could easily change if the type of legislation we're talking about was passed (English is a living language, even American English.) And with so many U.S. states (we only have about 7 in my country!), unless you're a high end lawyer (and if so, why would you be posting here at 3PM on a Sunday?), I do doubt that you know definitively which states have 'good samaritan laws', and the precise coverage of the legislation in each. But in fact it's irrelevant, because the concept of 'Good Samaritan law' in Seinfeld is exactly as I described it above, and as I said it's a state law (in the show). Laws can be changed, and new facets of existing laws can be added by new legislation. And even giving you the complete benefit of the doubt on all the above, so what, like do you watch The Simpsons and have apoplectic fits over every logical/'factual'/continuity error? If so, I pity the state of your blood pressure. We're talking about a comedy sitcom here (Seinfeld), one with consistently great writing, direction and acting, beloved by uncountable millions. Not everyone has to approve of every facet of every script (or of all the behaviour of all the cast in real life years after the show ended, for that matter). Cubone posted:As I understand it, in the united states, "duty to act" laws, meaning laws that hold individuals criminally responsible for not doing something, generally only apply if you yourself created a hazardous situation or if the person in peril is your spouse, a child under your care, an employee, or a guest on your property. there are a few states that, on paper, require bystanders to alert authorities, but these are rarely if ever enforced because they're extremely unlikely to hold up in court due to existing legal precedence Not necessarily applicable at all, due to (1) The limits of your own understanding/legal knowledge of every related U.S. state law at the time time of the episode's production, (2) The law created in this fictional trope is probably rather different to the current real-life so-called 'good samaritan' laws, probably anywhere in the U.S. (as yet, however some countries may actually already have these laws, e.g. one or more Scandinavian countries?), and (3) Laws which "are rarely if ever enforced because they're extremely unlikely to hold up in court due to existing legal precedence" can be changed and extended (many often are) by better drafted legislation so that they override pre-existing precedence, since any 'precedence' would have been formulated by a judge or judges based on the old law, before the well-drafted Seinfeld-type 'Good Samaritan Law'. Hope that helps. BigBadSteve fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Jan 21, 2024 |

i don't think it is technically illegal to pretend to be a marine biologist, but it is frowned upon in the marine biology community, and furthermore the sea itself has no emotions and thus cannot express itself like "an old man trying to return soup in a deli" so that's spreading misinformation, also bad.
