From the article, apparently it's "reckless conduct"
- rbanffy 2y agoThat sounds very ambiguous. Is installing Windows XP on an internet connected PC considered reckless? Is it driving a vintage car?
- SturgeonsLaw 2y agoSounds about right, it's one of those charges like "obstructing justice" that is so broad the cops can throw it out when there wasn't any real crime
- dwaltrip 2y agoWould that actually hold up in court?
- uberman 2y agoIANAL but I doubt it. There are school districts in GA that require kids to walk up to a mile and a half each way before bussing in mandated. Additionally, no jury of your rural peers would ever agree with those charges. I am stunned myself at the lunacy. I live in a rural area and given the size of their property I assume they do as well. My next door neighbor lives almost a mile from us. Granted I don't live in GA but I can't imagine any rural sheriff being re-elected on a platform that kids can't be trusted to walk to their neighbors house or to their little town.
- quantified 2y agoThank you, I missed that. Man, it'd be interesting to see what a jury would say. What's your peer group doing?
