Title: Above the law for a day
Post by: Kaitlyn on September 29, 2008, 10:25:50 PM
You've been given a twenty-four hour grace period where you are completely above the law.  Governing authorities or agents of said authorities are compelled not to interfere with you in any way, nor can you be held responsible ex post facto.  Furthermore, since your actions are not in violation of any law, anyone employing violence to hinder you is committing a crime, of a severity dependent on the degree of violence involved.  Additionally, this immunity extends to any action of any person, group, or organization that you are in association with at the time of its commission.

Secondly, you have the power to instantly travel to any place in the world, familiar or not, usable at will.  This expires with your special immunity.

The poll asks whether you would use your power to commit, or cause to be committed, an act that your country's (or the relevant country's) legal system considers criminal.  If you vote YES, I'd like for you to illustrate exactly what you would do, and explain why.

EDIT: Your teleportation power does not cause you to be in violation of any laws on international or interjurisdictional travel.  No passport or visa required.

I've got a little list.

But really, why stop with a day, if you became a member of the Bush Administration you could be above the law for life.

I wouldn't dare.  I have a son who is a cop in Portland, a daughter  who is a cop in Washington county and a brother who is an undersheriff in Oregon. Besides even if they weren't I would have to say no.

Awww, cmon... nobody wants to smack Dick Cheny in the head, or walk away with some cool stuff from an investment bank?  Nobody can think of any great social movements they'd like to start off with a bang?  It doesn't have to be morally objectionable stuff.

Posted on: September 29, 2008, 11:52:36 PM
You could walk away with wads of bills from the Treasury or the Fed, and give them to people you would like to bail out (assuming you're American).

No. Even were it not considered a crime, many laws generally protect people from harm by others. Whether or not it was regarded as a crime, I would be harming someone else by committing the 'non-crime'.

I would have to vote no, but however, I would love to chase Cheney down Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington with an extra large frozen trout. "Let's be lady like about this huh!" Cindy says straightening her skirt as she stands next to Cheney lying on the sidewalk with the extra lark frozen trout lying across his chest.

 :eusa_think: :eusa_think: humm very tempeting . so if i was to have said yes instead of touching Dick Cheny why not go for the

whole bag . since it would be like christmass. eh. so thus  frist thing i would do is take  old bush frist thing .and  humm lets see drive his head into

a cement floor a few times.. and then i would getone of my little friends called a heavy, long-handled hammer. and then i would take my time .

and hit old bush in pretty much every spot i could maybe even more then one time. and then tie bush up with some rop and then drag him out to a

waiting car . and tie the rope to the bumper of the car. and then drive siad car fast as i could . untill i ran out of gas or i happened to have lost old

bush along the road . and then humm i think i would pay a vist to a few of thos wallstreet scammers. and then i would pay a vist to every known

drug dealer . and give them almost the same treatment bush got . but much worse. and then humm maybe drop by iran and knock the leader of that

country off for the hell of it . and then i would hit us mint. and then from there i would stop every person that was haveing a real hard time makeing

end.s meat. and give them each 50,000.00 cash to help them out . and then after that ..i would have to see if i still had time left . to maybe fix

a few other thing,s in the world . that need to be fixed .  :eusa_think: :eusa_think: thats what i would do  if i had the chance to and i would do it

with out any question or post hast too

Packing two extra large frozen trouts in my holsters for Bush, then we can send him on a one way mission to Mars. Then he can let us know how the weather is up there if he doesn't run out of air first.

Dress him up in a combat uniform with a large poster with his name in big letters on it on his back and give him a riffle and 6 bullets and one grenade an drop him off in the middle of Iraq.

I would go to the cigarrette moguls and make them eat a full pack of menthol 100's. And I would make Kyra Sedgewick wear a bag over her head. Oh and that Billy guy who pitches Oxyclean? I hope he likes being the first huckster to be left at the North Pole.

I assume, since you put the word crime into quotation marks, that you weren't talking about actual crimes?

And what about misdemeanors?

Don't mind me. I'm just confused. And too lazy to break the law at the current moment. Unless you count driving five miles per hour over the speed limit on the freeway. That I do on a regular basis.

But not in construction zones.

I put "crime" into quotation marks because you'd be literally incapable of committing a legally recognized offense.  By "crime" I refer to any action that would normally be in violation of criminal law.  if you country doesn't distinguish between civil and criminal law, then... I dunno, wing it.

That's why, historically, getting the jump up on it, shooting early and often tends to work.  And remember to aim low, they might be crawling.

No murder...

Just pranks. Genius, uncensored, combo-points to 1000000000 wonderful superfun time.


I'd also launch so much sewage at the white house I'd be the green house.

I'd wear goggles all day and blast obnoxious metal and techno IDM and paint the world my colors.

I'd rename states....

I'd call them all titles like, "Snobecticut, Alablamo, Floratlantis, Sexus, Washinpound, Bodem Island (give it to the metal band to own), Calipornia, The Not so-Impressive at all Lakes, New Spork, etc"

I'd dress Banksy up as George Bush if I could find him and then make him secret president

I'd paint the pentagon like a giant UFO and steal all of the REAL documents on extra terrestrial life.,

I'd hold a press conference in the south and unfreeze cryogenic aliens and unleash them upon the public.

I'd make David Ducovny star in a porn film with Gackt, Edward Norton, and a few others.

I'd hack the box offices and make it number 1 forever.

Live Action pacman with inmates in New York

I'd make an entire town of Cheese...

You're wondering how I do this in one day?

By cloning myself thousands of times before hand... Which is my numero uno law break.

I'd electronically withdraw every cent held in every account in every bank, building society, insurance company and otherwise in the world, ransack every strongbox, safe, mattress and hidden hole in the wall, and then I'd redistribute that money equally amongst all the people of the world. I read somewhere (and this was in the late 90's, so bound to be more now) that we'd all end up with about 12 million US dollars. Every. Person. On the Planet. ;D

I'd electronically withdraw every cent held in every account in every bank, building society, insurance company and otherwise in the world, ransack every strongbox, safe, mattress and hidden hole in the wall, and then I'd redistribute that money equally amongst all the people of the world. I read somewhere (and this was in the late 90's, so bound to be more now) that we'd all end up with about 12 million US dollars. Every. Person. On the Planet. ;D

Anarchist to her final, dying breath. :P

And within a few years, most of it would be back in the hands of those you stole it from.

Just look at Lottery winners, actors and athletes.

I'd steal a lot of clothes, but that would probably be all.

Maybe a bit of money too.

And some DVDs and CDs.

And...

QuoteIt doesn't have to be morally objectionable stuff.

You are implying that going against the culture's expectations is morally OK. Morals and ethics is much more than just following the law. It is a much higher standard. Having "Character" is why people are respected, it is much more valuable than some kind of emotional revenge.

Exactly. It is my belief, as a habitual "outlaw" [ie I don't hold reverent governmental citations on behavior as the rule of my behavior], that my personal freedoms end where they impose on anothers personal freedoms or rights,,,

You've been given a twenty-four hour grace period where you are completely above the law.
I went with "other" but "no" might be more apt; Regardless, I'd roll over and go back to sleep for 24h. Simply, I do not think anyone should be above the governing laws.

I would probably do it.

I wouldn't harm a single person, that just doesn't comply with my morals. Instead I would steal things I really want and become very, very, very rich. :D

I would never even try to do this stuff in reality, just in that little situation which is never going to happen anyways. lol

Let's just say, mass murder, genocide, many many people and groups of people would be cast into the dark abyss rangeing from the >-bleeped-<s whom I hate in my everyday life, to groups like the KKK, Black Panthers, Terrorist Groups and Religous Leaders alike. All I can say is as Nightmare from the Soul Calibur Series once said "It's time for a Bloodbath!!!"

You do not fight your enemies with animosity you forgive them for their trespasses then forgive yourself, whether you are in the wrong or not, then release it then move on. The more you try to use aggression to fight aggression, the more soured off one gets thus resulting in attracting more aggression and negative attention unto yourself because of the resulting attitude. Just something I learned for my self but then every one has their own way of dealing with things. I prefer to be perceived as the little mouse not a roaring lion.

Negative attention is something an individual in early transition can ill afford if at all possible to avoid. I mean whats the sense of going around looking like a beautiful lady and going around acting like a red neck tobaki chawin macho male.

I have no desire to break any laws but that doesn't mean I agree with them all. There have been a few people I have wished I could wrap my scrawny fingers around their throats but I know that it would only make things worst instead of resolving anything. So I just do what I can to stay clear of possible aggressive encounters or do what I can to resolve it peacfully. It is a choice.

Well, that's my on and off topic and all over the map response.

Cindy

I voted yes... in the interest of complete honesty, and then I've thought out what I'd do very seriously.
I would obtain a marajuana cigarette, or a doobie, and smoke it. (It's the only thing that has Ever helped my fibromyalgia, I only smoke it once every year or two as it's illegal here.)
I would instantly travel to about 50 people I know online, slap them upside the head and tell them "stop being stupid!".
I would instantly travel to about 10 people I know online and castrate them to remove their stupid from the gene-pool as no amount of slapping would give me hope that they'd think a little bit.
I would rob a bank, cause I'm poor.
I would steal the deed to the house I live in and kick out the a-holes living upstairs.
I would rob some of the people who've put Iceland into debt and give that money back to the people (by putting it in the gov. fund).
I would Personally re-write the money-related law to try and prevent this from ever happen again.

I "might" re-write the law of the entire world to make me Evil Overlord of Earth, but I'm sure it'd be just too much work to do while I transition.

I would not do anything that could harm another person or thing. However, I live in Utah so it is easy to commit a crime without even knowing it is illegal. Since the predominant religion controls a great deal of the government the laws have alot to do with moral values of that majority. Cindi Jones knows about that.  ByBy Genevieve

Yeppers, I totally would! Someone hit my mom last year, and threatened MY life if she told anyone. He also did a LOT of other things that should have gotten him in trouble with the law but the stupid pigs out here looked the other way. So, I'd love to be able to torture the hell out of him and make him feel everything he made us feel, maybe tenfold. In the end, after I'm satisfied he suffered more than enough, I'd make him just, disappear. I think he's the only person I actually HATE. Beyond dislike, and not just annoyed with. I can pass a random guy that just uses teh same colonge and automatically start snarling. Lol. ((course, being he's the only one I hate, theres ALL the hate and frustration and so on directed just towards him))

Or I could carry out any number of schemes whose only draw back ended in a long prison term.

I haven't done anything illegal before tho.
