Thursday's Three Burning Legal Questions
Here are today's?three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere.
1) Question:?I'm a weatherman in the Netherlands, and people get completely bent out of shape when I get the forecast wrong. Hey, I'm doing my best! What are they going to do about it, throw me in jail??
Answer: No jail, but weather forecasters who get the forecast wrong in the Netherlands may soon face fines. (CBC News,?Faulty weather forecasts could lead to fines in Netherlands)
2) Question:?I am the mayor of a small town, but the town's police are trying to arrest me for entering an office that is off-limits to me. Can I simply fire the officers who are trying to arrest me??
Answer: Nope! (Seattle Weekly,?The Terminator: Pink-Slip-Happy Mayor Cy Tries to Fire Cops As They're Arresting Him)
3) Question: I'm a civilian contractor doing some painting work on a?nuclear-powered attack submarine. I don't feel like working today, and was thinking about starting a small fire to get out of work early. Do you see any "cons" associated with this plan?
Answer:?You could end up causing $400 million in damage to the submarine and?face up to life in prison for arson. (The Associated Press,?Worker charged with arsons in Maine sub fire)
