What state doesn’t have their statutes online?
- esbranson 4y agoAll states have their laws, regulations, and jurisprudence online like North Korea has freedom of speech. Technically yes, but effectively no.
- tiahura 4y agoWhat other topics are you horribly misinformed about? http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/alison/codeofalabama/1975/coatoc.htm http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/alison/codeofalabama... https://www.akleg.gov/basis/statutes.asp https://www.akleg.gov/basis/statutes.asp https://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/ArkansasLaw https://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/ArkansasLaw I think every municipality has them online as well.
- esbranson 4y agoHow many words do any of those have? A simple word count. Like any word processor can provide circa 1980.
- tiahura 4y agoA bunch? How is word count relevant?
- esbranson 4y agoIt’s a simple function that operates on the entire set of data, not just a sample. You cannot do even a simple function on the entire set of data. Your examples are piecemeal samples, not the law. You can’t do a simple word count of the law because you do not have access to the law.
- culi 4y agoOh they have them online. Some in terrible pdfs or on sites that are randomly down with no warning. Rarely do you get good text search. God bless you if you're expecting some sort of API The biggest surprise to me however was the lack of any well-organized effort to centralize all of these. To have them all in one API and make it easy to compare across states or get basic data around what gets passed when, who voted for what, etc. The latter information is sometimes not even available
