<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2793663, member: 76194"]I will add something else. The average person commits several federal felonies and state felonies every day. The Federal Code is thousands upon thousands of pages, and there are tons of laws that are obsolete or no longer enforced, but they are still in the books as no one has bothered to remove them. The same can be said of many states and cities. I'll give you an example. In Jacksonville, FL a teenager was arrested a few years back for cursing in front of a woman when he hit his foot against a rock at a local park. A police officer who had read about some old law prohibiting men from saying obscene words around women, heard it and arested the teen. The ammount of ridicule from the press and the fact that this was clearly old garbage law that no one probably even remembered existed, caused the case to be dropped and the law to be done away with. But I guarantee you if you comb thorugh the local laws there, you could probably still find a bunch of unenforced and outdated laws in those books that people are technically in violation of every day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
