Re: Good. This type of actions said by Van:As someone who goes to Court often, yes...someone could in fact be charged for a variety of crimes if they left out a gun and someone else used it to kill another (even without the pure intention of someone using it to kill another)...it of course depends on the circumstances of the exact case So, I don't think that is a good example Speaking loosely of course. The same argument could really be applied to anything, just replace gun with any instrument, kitchen knife, pencil, screwdriver...ect. Yes, you could argue that by me brining a pencil into class allowed a classmate to kill another, as he took it from my hands and stabbed another student. But, then we wouldn't be speaking loosely now would we?
One could even take a step further. Lets say a criminal was using a wifi service provided by lets say a coffee shop. And they do something illegal, is the coffee shop liable? They are liable to cooperate with authorities, but does the coffee shop have to pay any damages if they didn't know their wifi was being used for illicit purposes. In fact I am sure before you can connect you have to agree to a TOS saying you wont use it for illicit purposes. |
