I have a feeling if the current administration had a problem with your social media posts, maybe you said something about Tesla that they could construe as supporting the current protests and/or vandalism, and similarly venue-shopped for a federal court, say East Texas, (using the U.S. v Mackey precedent to claim jurisdiction because some fiber carrying data might go through it) where the 12 jurors would be on team red, you would not feel like it would be a fair trial if you got convicted.
- DangitBobby 2y agoDo you think trying to mislead people with fake signs and numbers so their vote doesn't get counted is a thing people should be allowed to do by law? What about fraud?
- kleton 2y agoAs a juror, I would expect such a trial to at least be able to produce a single victim that could testify on the stand that they got deceived before I would vote guilty.
- DangitBobby 2y agoI'm not following your reasoning. No one falling for it means they didn't commit a crime, or it's evidence they weren't really trying to deceive anyone? I don't think federal crimes have to have a single "victim" for it to be a crime, though obviously I'm not lawyer.
