The legal system is so complex that we are all always cheating.
People only call for strict enforcement of the rules when they don't like you. It is a wonderful thing to get the government to attack your enemies for you.
- rayiner 10y agoYeah, it's so complex: http://www.nyc.gov/html/nycbe/downloads/pdf/nycchecklist_restaurantsigns.pdf http://www.nyc.gov/html/nycbe/downloads/pdf/nycchecklist_res.... OP's examples were not obscure subsection g part 4 item iii-type stuff. They are basic things you'd think about if you were considering the impact of your business on the public.
- javajosh 10y agoThat's a strawman attack. You imply that the entirety of applicable law was contained in that URL, which is false. The actual corpus of law a citizen and business owner must be aware of is the entirety of the law from Federal, State, County, and City, plus all private contracts to which I am bound, covering every activity you do. You're a lawyer sarcastically chastising me with a link to the specific law, and that is poorly done. The very existence of "lawyer" as a profession implies that the law is too complex for individuals to understand. The computer science version of this would be some poor guy confused about TCP/IP and I could link to the precise part of the RFC that answered his question, with a sarcastic, "Right, that's so complex". I'd be an asshole if I did that.
