    Why should he? His place of business. The security cameras are their to protect his business and patrons.

    Agreed, but most of time you are trying to get somewhere when this crap happens and can't afford a few hours with police to stand up for your own rights...

    I have no formal legal training whatsoever, and I'm able to understand all of the Federal and State statues I've cared enough to parse. They're written in plain English, in spite of claims to the contrary, the biggest PITA with reading the law is jumping all over the place trying to track down the various definitions. Law A defines what X means, then Laws B, C, D, E, and F all cite X and refer you back to Law A for the actual definition.

    Legal statutes are certainly easier to understand without training than the various computer languages we discuss here every day. How many people do you think can sit down and decipher something written in C?

    If you violate C, you don't go to jail...

  13. is your strength, not mine.

    There's no reason for a law to need to be that long and not in clear English.

    Treaties and budgets yes, but not laws.

    Nice try Troll

    We have a winner.

    Take all the federal, State, county, City/Village/Township/whatever you live laws and I bet you'd be amazed at even the cleanest living person has to face in fines and jail time.

    Unless you are a lawyer, you CAN'T understand most laws as they are written.
    For 2 and 3 I'm Sarten-X is an Asshole lawyer that is partially responsible for the world being so fucked up and helping congress (often times former lawyers themselves) stay employed while bleeding the citizens dry intentionally making law so obfuscated the average citizen needs a ridiculously expensive lawyer to understand them.

    Agreed.
    No new law should be allowed to be passed unless:

    1 - Written in plain English, no legalese, the layman MUST be able to parse it and understand it
                            AND
    2 - No more that 2 pages at most.
                          AND
    3 - Two or more existing laws are repealed for each new law passed (This can be revised down to one-for-one once the current lawbooks are cut to 1/4 their current size)
