Why isn't it illegal to force someone to log/elog overage hours? Isn't that a fifth amendment violation as you're forcing them to incriminate themselves? Seems elog should be challenged.
- lazyasciiart 3y agoSame reason you can go to jail for not reporting your illegal income.
- beaeglebeached 3y agoThe IRS can't make you say where the income is from, though, so unlike logging it's at best a hint of a crime rather than an admission of crime.
- happyopossum 3y agoBy that logic any law requiring disclosure of any kind would be a fifth amendment violation. You are not required to participate in trucking, nor is it a right to do so. Choosing that career (and it's associated licensing) comes with responsibilities...
- beaeglebeached 3y agoHere's an example. You don't have a right to a short barreled shotgun (per US v. Miller). But you can get one by buying a stamp. If I'm a felon applying for the stamp would be incriminating, thus courts ruled felon cannot be guilty of not disclosing they have the shotgun. So they get to have it and never 'log' it even though everyone else must. It's only violating the fifth for the part where you must admit to crimes, not all logging. I'm talking about hours logged past the maximum.
