LAWYERS, What Are Some Interesting Laws / LOOPHOLES?

In England, many houses operated as inn/tavern. Unlike an American restaurant where the wait staff defers to the customer, you deferred to the inn keeper because you were in his home.

The sanctuary rule still exists, maybe not de jure but definitely de facto. There have been plenty of cases in the past 2/3 decades where people have been convicted of abhorrent crimes, such as violent you-know-what against kids and the criminals just went to vatical city and asked for sanctuary. And now they are just living their best lives free from any consequences of their violent r---ing of kids, other than not being able to leave Vatican city. A lot of the other laws cited aren't true. the 2 hours a week archery practice was repealed, no you can't shoot a welshman in chester with a bow and arrow, that is in fact covered by assault and/or murder and that has been true since the 1540's when Wales was incorporated into the kingdom of England.

In Michigan, it's not considered trespassing until you have been instructed to leave by the property owner and failed to do so. If you wander onto somebody's porch and sit in their rocking chair, you're not trespassing. If they come home and see you on the porch and tell you to leave, then leave. You haven't trespassed because you left when instructed. Actually going into the home is fraught with all kinds of trouble. Homeowner left the door open a crack and push the door to go inside, the fact that you pushed the door is a use of force required for it to be breaking and entering. If the homeowner was inside the house when you did that, now it's home invasion. You'll spend 10 years in prison for pushing their door open and taking a step inside.

The first one is just a bunch of b.s. All it takes is a dog alerting on the package for them to get a warrant. They just got lucky and didn't get caught.

Here's one: jury nullification. It's when a jury refuses to convict a person on moral grounds. This is why you often get kangaroo courts where the accused is NOT judged by a jury of their peers and instead are judged by those who will convict the person due to their own biases.

Hey, prior post office worker, drug dogs can walk around and that can be cause for them to confiscate it and or give you a letter with it stating you have to open it infront of certain people and you have to sign it or we cant give it to you and if you dont open it infront of said people they can 1 fine you and 2 get a search warrent. You are allowed to not accept the package/letter

Add to that Agricultural Quarantine inspection of 2nd class mail packages, no warrant required. For 1st class with a trained Agricultural Quarantine dog, a blanket warrant from a judge can be issued after proving efficacy. Usual above 90% detection success.

It's legal to shoot a Welshman with a bow and arrow after midnight. I wonder what their definition of "after midnight" is. When it comes down to it, the entire day up to 11:59 pm is technically after midnight, which means basically the whole day. I am curious if anyone tried to make that argument.

That chest should be a crime
