FWIW, I was on the side of the road one night many moons ago explaining to the local police that my Audi's factory Xenon headlights were not an aftermarket add-on. After showing them the factory service manual and build sheet from my SCCA protest documentation satchel in the trunk, they backed off and let me go...without noticing that the inspection sticker had expired 4 months earlier!

Out here in the back-woods, they dig pretty deep for probable cause on slow nights.....

there's reason to put yourself down like that.

There is, or there is not? I mean, after wielding such an impressive command of the English language just mere moments before, it would be a shame to see it come to an end for the lack of a simple "no" in your sentence...

On the other hand, if you meant what you said, then my curiousity is piqued to see where you are going with this lol.

What do you call a sunken cruise ship full of lawyers?

A beginning

Why do lawyers wear neckties.....to keep the foreskin down.

might have been the rum talking, and the point I was trying to make and I accept your correction was this. Don't sell yourself short, you are way too smart to be a lawyer.

Well, perhaps that's why I'm not one. I did consider it to be honest, but I did choose not to go that path. But I still think I could have made a large amount of money being one.

I know a great many lawyers, and only a few make great sums of money, and the ones that do work very long hours, usually just about 7 days a week and don't have much of a life.

Why do some cops on bikes ride side by side in duos together? Same cruising speed too.

Must be some sort of logic to this right?

I don't think cops should wear shorts on the job

Why was Barney Fife hired to be a deputy?

Probably just to chat, plus we're used to the side-by-side thing.

Having said that the Criminal Code of Canada doesn't specifically define crime or criminal. But I think lawyers would argue that you aren't a criminal until you've been convicted of a crime. I know I'm splitting hairs but Canada is such a forgiving country and society. I think this can easily become a philosophical argument/debate quickly.

Finally, you may be charged, go to trial and be acquitted (found “not guilty”). In all of these situations, you have been arrested but not convicted. You are not guilty of a crime. Conviction - A conviction means that you have been found guilty of a crime by a court or that you have agreed to plead guilty to a crime.

I for one have a real issue with criminals and liars, but who among us hasn't told a little white lie (may great big ones too) and who hasn't taken a pen from work.

Many would argue that the guy taking a pen from work doesn't believe he's committed a crime, has he formed the requeste mens rea?

Excellent point about the charges.

Maybe he had incriminating pictures of Andy and a farm animal.....probably a goat.

That's the rum talking.

You can say that again! A few years ago, the police in a neighboring town had to solve a repeating break-in at a horse stable. Turned out to be a local vagrant having, um, an affair with the horses at night.....

Interesting! Very interesting! One of the areas I patrol has horse property, but we've never had any reports of that kind of behavior.

I don't really recall horses being the victims....know pigs and sheep were a different story.
