Learning A Law A Day Should Keep The Lawyer Away
The law has been around almost as long as humans have been. Since ever since Ogg pinched Zed’s blanket, and the tribe adjudicated on who had right to the blanket, they have existed. One would think that all laws and legal aspects would grow with the world, but not so. Some have grown, expanded and been modified to match the hectic lifestyle that most people now live, and some, once made, have simply found themselves redundant, but never been modified or scrapped.
There are laws that have existed for centuries, and their origins are lost in the mists of time. Some laws are severely frowned on when so-called civilized countries lay eyes on them, but, for the country involved, they have been working perfectly for their culture for maybe centuries. If eating one’s neighbour because the tribal law says one can, then that is their law, and outsider’s opinions really do not matter. Most other peoples do not see it in such black-and-white terms.
The lady who stands for law has three symbols in her hands, that symbolize what exactly the three rules are. The sword is a statement of what the courts stand for; the scales show what each claim should be weighed; and the blindfold says that the justice given should be given out objectively, without fear or favour. Many have tried to bend this to their own favour, but somehow justice usually has her way.
Justice systems cover everyone’s day-to-day life. When one walks out of one’s house, the legal system kicks in. No-one else has any right, unless permitted, to enter that house, until the owner returns. No damage must be done to it, or the insurance regulations kick in. Break and enter that house, and, if you are caught, a world of grief awaits one.
Medical well-being is also very publicized. If a builder is careless about the employees, and a bad accident occur, this can bankrupt a business. Injury to a person can involve many laws, most of which are covered under torts, a small law that covers a person for damage to that person caused with malicious intent from another person. They can be very expensive things to be mixed up in.
Breaking any rule, whether one knows it or not, can land one in seriously hot water. The excuse of “But I was not aware of that rule”, seldom cuts any ice in a court of justice. A working knowledge of the regulations in the system is useful.
While drunk, riding a giraffe down the street might not be well-known, substitute the word “giraffe” for any other article that one rides, and one is carted off very quickly, usually for one’s own protection.
Somebody who is drunk and riding an exotic animal down a main street is certainly guaranteed to raise some eyebrows, especially if one falls off. But, if the animal is endangered, or rare, there can be many laws broken. Riding or driving anything while drunk is usually a large “no-no”, unless it is for a circus promotion, or to advertise something, and all the permits and paperwork is done, although the drunk part is still very much frowned on. A simple bicycle ride can turn into a nightmare in the same instance.
The penalties for breaking a rule, especially if is aware of it, can be far-reaching. What will happen to one’s income, if one is suddenly without wheels, horse or donkey for transport? It would be a good idea to spend a little time researching justice systems on the Internet to find new or obscure laws and why they exist. Not all law subjects are boring and dry-as-dust. Some are funny, hopelessly out-dated, or just plain silly.
