I wish I could do this in real life. I've seen two in my city and they're visually arresting.

That honestly is a very interesting subject for a beginners exam to criminal law

[–] Thann@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

unless they're parked right next to your roses, I imagine it would be pretty easy to prove malice

[–] Krzd@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

But could it not be reasonably assumed that you were only attempting to annoy the owner and not cause harm?

No idea if that even makes a difference, would be funny tho

"It was ugly and dirty and I was just trying to wash it."

Case dismissed.

[–] Thann@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

I was trying to wash the ugly off

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Thats were it gets tricky in reality. But not necessarily in an exam that prioritises theoretical criminal knowledge

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Annoying some is thankfully not a criminal action.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Yes prove intent, but depending on the legal system that might not be enough. Say I believe that spraying someone with sparkling water on the beach would kill you, that does not necessarily mean you attempted to take someones life. Similarly hurting someone in sports does not mean you assaulted them in a criminal sense.

And they look like dumpsters from behind. Apparently raccoons have even scratched some trying to get inside, thinking they held delicious trash.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sadly, they're only expensive trash.

The dude who owns the new Dunkin Donuts in town parked his out front with a Dunkin sticker on it. Totally a legit business expense.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Right in front of the Dunkin, huh? It would be terrible if people kept accidentally spilling their coffee, hot chocolate and the like on it considering you have to immediately scrape bird shit and dead bugs off of it when you get to where you're going to avoid corrosion. (Really.)
