The police shouldn't have wasted all this time and money on what isn't really a crime.
Say it's not a car, and the driver recharged his phone, because it was dead. By the same logic, he should be arrested, but it would seem a bit silly to do so.
What about filling up a water bottle with an outside water faucet?
It's pretty reasonable to not want people to charge their devices using your external outlets, but I don't think it's a crime.
As plug-in vehicles become more prevalent, buildings will start to figure out the right way to handle this.
- ugexe 13y agoSo if I run out of gas it's ok for me to siphon some off another persons car? Does the amount of gas siphoned matter, or is it the act that primarily punished?
- balls187 13y agoOf course not, just like, if you're hungry, it's not okay to steal food. And the amount isn't really the issue, theft is theft. The question, is charging your car like: 1) Running an extension cord to neighbors to power your house (theft) 2) Plugging in your phone into the wall-outlet at the airport (probably not theft) It's probably both, so lawfully, why arrest the guy?
