If someone on that forum says “should I try this IRL” and you say “theoretically, it should work fine” then, yes, you will probably be convicted. If you say “no, that’s illegal” and consistently do so any time you’re asked then you will probably not be convicted. If you say “that’s a great idea” you will be definitely be convicted. If you say “that’s a terrible idea ;)” you will probably be convicted while having angered the judge and jury for assuming they’re idiots.
- Dylan16807 7y agoWhether you are for or against bank robberies at nonspecific banks at nonspecific future dates shouldn't be the deciding factor in whether you're an accomplice. I hope you're not right.
- floatingatoll 7y agoI do indeed strongly encourage not trolling people to do illegal things using the Internet or any other method, as the law does not require the courts to take your motivation for encouraging them into account if they then commit the crime you trolled them to do. I note that you, in essence, shifted the point from “encouraging a person on a forum to commit bank robbery” to “nonspecifically encouraging bank robbery in general”. You’re on your own for interpreting that latter one. ps.
