Aren't property taxes unconstitutional in America?
How is it okay that you can't truly "own" land in America? No, you can't. Technically, you have to lease it from the government who pays nothing on it, in the form of a property tax, which is an illegal fine for owning property. Try not paying and watch as your land is taken at gun-point by official thugs. I want to literally purchase land and never have to pay another cent on it, so I can just live in isolation. I'm autistic and many of us become hermits and that's what i'd like, but no the system is rigged so you can't do any of the basic things you could've just gone off into the woods and started 100-150 years ago.
WILL A SURGEON GO TO PRISON IF HE/SHE MAKES A SURGICAL MISTAKE?
Surgeons/hospitals maintain insurance to reduce their civil or criminal liability. They do this to protect themselves against lawsuits from patients or relatives unhappy with the outcome of a procedure. When someone has surgery done, they need to sign a document that states that if anything/should anything go wrong, the medical staff can only be held accountable up to where the law permits. This means that if someone dies, and the medical staff did everything in accordance to the law but they could not prevent the patient's death, then they cannot be held accountable. If a surgeon, knowingly or willingly commits an act that would put in jeopardy the health or life of a patient without letting the patient and/or relatives know of such risks, the surgeon can and will be held criminally accountable. General speaking, a doctor won't harm or let a patient die on purpose, his career and possibly his freedom are at stake. The outcome of medical treatment cannot be guaranteed, patients and relatives are informed of this. When something does go wrong, patients and relatives can always sue. It's up to authorities to decide if the hospital and medical staff acted in accordance to the law to prevent or reduce their legal liability and hence the terms "malpractice" and "medical negligence".

Law: What happens if an attorney knows a client committed a murder but they want to plead "not guilty"?
A lawyer has a moral obligation to give each client the best representation possible. Also, because of confidentiality, the lawyer may not report the client or in any way act as if knowing that the client is guilty.Many law students struggle with this question. In fact, a good professor of criminal law requires the students to address it. It might help to remember that a legal system is not about justice, or morality; it is about a predictable system. Before September 26, 2015, some states did not allow same-sex couples to marry. The Supreme Court ruled that this was was depriving some gay people of civil rights, and the Court said that all states must allow same-sex couples to marry. When a court official refused to give a marriage license to a same-sex couple, she was put in jail.Is this about morality, fairness, justice? No. It's about following the law. Now let's move back to criminal law. Is it the job of the judge, lawyers, or jury to decide whether this person committed a crime? NO. It is the state (prosecuting attorney)'s job to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused committed the crime. It is the jury's job to decide whether the prosecutor did that, and the defense attorney's job to implant in the jury a disbelief. If I were a practicing attorney with a client, I wouldn't even listen to my client's confession. I would ask "what do we legally know?" If, by my vigorous representation, I prevent the prosecution from proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt, I have done my job as a defense attorney, for my client and for society. The job of a defense attorney is not to protect innocent people from the government; it's to protect ALL people from the government.
Is it legal to shoot a burglar in your own house? Does it matter if their back is turned to you?
In Texas, it generally is legal to shoot a burglar and it doesn’t matter whether his back was turned, inside your house.Someone with his back to you could be picking up something to brain you with, or be heading to the kitchen to get a butcher knife, or going down the hall for your wife or children.According to The Castle Doctrine, he has already demonstrated bad intent towards you and your family by breaking into your habitation while you were in it.Shooting a burglar in the back is sometimes called “Preventative Self Defense”.Not long after The Castle Doctrine was passed, a man in San Antonio found two men in a spare bedroom after having broken in through a garage door.He killed one in the bedroom with a shotgun, while the other pushed past him and ran out a sliding patio door into the back yard.As he was trying to climb over a six-foot wood privacy fence, the homeowner walked out and shotgunned him in the back, killing him too.No charges were filed. I found THAT a little surprising, since the guy was outside, trying to run away.So, “It All Depends”, but history so far is “Yes, it’s legal”, at least in Texas.It should be noted that The Castle Doctrine was passed to keep over-zealous, anti-gun district attorneys from bringing unwarranted charges, and to protect homeowners from civil suits by burglars, or families of deceased burglars. It isn’t a license to knock off your in-laws or something.If you shoot someone who has broken into Your Castle and there’s ANY reason to suspect foul play, murder WILL be suspected and investigated.For instance, if you knew the burglar a detective will start looking for any motive you might have had for murdering him. If they find a motive, you’ll start getting asked some very pointed questions…Or if he (or his dead body) had anything on it which might indicate he was there for a legitimate purpose, THAT will not go unnoticed.The fact that he works for a cable company and has some sales brochures is not going to raise any eyebrows if you shoot him at 11:00pm, but at any time during normal working hours, it will make people wonder things… very inconvenient things for you.So it’s not just a license to shoot people, it’s merely a device to protect homeowners from unwarranted legal problems if they DO shoot someone and it is a justifiable shooting.
