man gets fined 1K for saving boy's life

[Stratego]

However, assuming he hadn't save the boy's life, there would have been no investigation of unregistered firearm and he wouldn't have to pay a fine. If you're going to be a criminal don't also try to be a hero.

He didn't get fined for saving a life. He got fined for being in possession of three illegal firearms. Your post made no mention of opposition to gun registration. It wasn't even implied. You just tacked that on at the end after it was pointed out your opinion makes no sense.

the title of the thread, while completely correct, was made so people would read it. the content that i posted had to do with the law itself being wrong, as i was mocking the law, not mocking his prosecution of it. had i been doing that i would have said something like

"guy saves a kids life and then gets fined 1K for doing so. this guy is a hero and gets slammed, so unfair QQ"

instead i said

"guy saves a kids life and then gets fined 1K for doing so. remember this next time you're in a situation where you can save someone's life. ask yourself if their life worth your money"

the underlined portion is about the law, which precipitated in the not underlined portion. but the point of the thread is the law. if it wasn't blatantly obvious to you that's understandable as you seem to think that DC is located on the west coast

Having trained in EMS and having lived with and helped train a person with higher level qualifications for EMS, I've spent a good deal of time thinking about what I can and can't do to save a life. If I have the skills yet don't have the qualifications to perform certain procedures, I fully expect to be exposed to the law if I successfully perform a procedure I'm not certified for even if it saves the persons life.

If the guy didn't like gun registration, he should have moved to a state that doesn't require it.

all the "but he broke the law" crowd need to run head first into walls.


A key idea behind American jurisprudence since the get-go has been law enforcement discretion. the whole "well it's the law" argument was seen as a dumb idea by generations of American law officers and jurists.
