If I buy non-food items with an EBT card what will happen?
It depends on what you are buying, getting caught selling your SNAP for cash/drugs/alcohol or tobacco can get you a 12 month violation at first and depending on how bad they catch you then you are obligated to pay back the amount your “trafficked.”If you are caught buying ineligible items at a store and that store gets caught you will once again have a 12 month disqualification for your first offense and have to pay back the charges they consider suspicious.I work in a welfare fraud department and focus on trafficking and I will say people get caught DAILY, be smart with your EBT as it is a privilege not a right!
How has Hillary Clinton not been charged, indicted, or arrested for anything regarding the email scandal?
First, an actual crime has to be committed. For a crime to be committed, the someone has to commit an act that is specifically specifically spelled out in a criminal code (most states differentiate criminal or penal codes from other state laws) of either a state or the US Code for which a punishment is also spelled out. Some crimes also require intent in addition to the act itself. As an extreme example, “First Degree” Murder (states my use different terminology, say “Capital” Murder) is a crime of intent and a prosecutor must prove premeditation as a condition of conviction. At the lower end of the spectrum, if you run a red light, you can be cited and required to pay a fine. The fact that it was inadvertent and you had no intention to run the stop light is irrelevant—the mere fact you ran the light is sufficient for conviction.Now, absent being arrested while in the commission of a crime, there is the pesky thing called “probable cause”. It’s even spelled out in the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution and states the “… no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause…”In the context of warrants, the Oxford Companion to American Law defines probable cause as "…information sufficient to warrant a prudent person's belief that the wanted individual had committed a crime (for an arrest warrant) or that evidence of a crime or contraband would be found in a search (for a search warrant)".So, unless you can search the US Code and find a law—that was published an in effect at the time that Hillary used her private email address/server— that states an individual cannot use a private email address, system, or personal server when conducting government business with a criminal penalty attached (fine and/or prison) then no crime as been committed.In order for a prosecutor to charge and for a grand jury to indict, there must be probable cause that both a crime was in fact committed and the the person being charged committed the crime. Same standard applies for an arrest warrant issued before formal charges are filed and sent to a grand jury.
Is it illegal to lie to a cop during a traffic stop?
NO. It is not illegal to lie to a police officer. If the officer finds out that you have lied to him/her, then, depending on circumstances, they can charge you with the mystical, magical, obstruction of justice charge. BTW, the police CAN lie to you if they want. They are allowed to use trickery against you. Say nothing and you will be happy for it.In my humble opinion, obstruction of justice is a BS charge that is difficult to “disprove”. Even in America where you are “innocent” until proven guilty, it is a tough march off the cliff.That’s why it is far better off to say nothing to the officer. When you are pulled over, provide whatever requisite paperwork you need to and then remain quiet.Most officers will tell you why they pulled you over. Be polite. If you don’t agree, take the issue to court. Don’t try and settle it on the street because you will lose.Let me recap: Be polite, don’t say anything at all. Don’t give the police a reason to be nervous.Good Luck!Update: Street (not federal) definition of obstruction of justice: a broad crime that encompasses many types of behavior law enforcement finds disagreeable, including: Resisting arrest. Disobeying any orders from a police officer. Interfering with, or hindering, police investigation or duties.
