"You left your house unlocked? It's your fault"
"You dressed like that? It's your fault"
- plagiarist 3y agoSorry, just to get this clear, you are likening an argument over a manufacturer creating defective products with arguments that might come from a rapist's defense attorney?
- Chris2048 3y agoThe argument isn't comparing the manufacturers liability, but that of the people choosing to steal the cars in the first place - why is it relevant how easy the cars are to steal?
- plagiarist 3y agoBecause human nature is a bit more complex than "car thief or not."
- jyrkesh 3y agoIf I buy a front door lock that has a systemic manufacturing problem and someone breaks into my house, I might want to sue the manufacturer. But if someone breaks into my house--regardless of whether it was unlocked, the lock was defective, or they broke a window--and the police are negligent or incompetent in investigating or prosecuting the perpetrators, in what world is that a) not the police's fault? and b) an opportunity for the _police_ to sue the _manufacturer_? If I start a cultural movement to get rid of front door locks and it gains traction, and then B&Es spike, can the police sue _me_ too?
- plagiarist 3y agoIf you make a lock that is recognizable and easily broken to the extent that B&Es double nationwide, I don't see a problem with cities suing you over it. I don't know why you want to try and link the idea of a cultural movement? There's very clearly a difference between a defective product and a deliberate decision.

- horns4lyfe 3y agoYes, they’re the same.
- HDThoreaun 3y agoIf your house does not have a lock and everyone knows it then yea, that's your fault.
