Is it illegal to wear foreign antique uniform?

5 Upvotes

I’m quite impressed by the fashion of the old uniforms and I’m curious to know if it’s legal to wear them.

I’m interested in the British World war 1 and 2 outfit in particular. I’m American by the way, so this will be done in the US.

I also really like Ulysses S Grant’s outfit. It’s bold, stunning, powerful. Am I allowed to wear something like that in public?

The Waffenfarbe from Austria is also a splendid outfit.

No, I’m not going to have any insignia or flags. I’ll just like to wear it for fashion’s purposes. It will be blank uniform.

I understand that I’m coming across as a major retard and punk but I’m fine with it.

I’m not going to pretend to be what I’m not, I’m not going to be an asshole in public or at my friends house. Ill take all insignia and flags off so that it looks more or less like a very upholstered suit. I just like the disciplined and distinguished look of it.

I’ve done worse, I have one of those Saudi garments and I’ve went out with that despite not being either Saudi or Muslim.

I have priest clothes and my own tuxedo. And even clothes of that of a Tibetan monk.

I find it quite interesting to play around with clothes like this. It amuses me.

Would I be able to do this with antique uniforms?

Can I be fined for parking in front of my house

4 Upvotes

Short story is that we live on a corner and there is a stop sign on the opposite corner. The road makes a T and our house is the left the stop sign on the right. Last night someone left us a note letting us know we are parking illegally in front of our drive way because we can’t block a drive way and we can’t block a stop sign... I’m worried this may be true and do not want to have consequences for parking at our own home. How do I find out if this is a law? For more details we are in Arizona and our neighborhood is HOA ran and they told us we could and it is also privately owned roads.

Homeless question- please help

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

Short backstory, I am a 21 year old pre law college student. I was staying with my uncle paying him rent for the past year.. never missed a payment once. My uncle is a experienced paralegal with a 3 bedroom condo no kids no wife and a stable job. Due to the pandemic, I have been laid off. I have applied for unemployment but am still waiting plus the amount I was approved for is barley enough to pay my regular bills, so I explained to him I couldn’t pay rent this month, don’t go back to school till August, and the money I do have saved is for my tuition, books, and dorm (so I didn’t have to stay with him anymore). He told me that I have 2 options. 1) stay with him till August and pay “back pay” once I get my job back or leave for school which essentially will be giving him my savings for school (3000$) or 2) leave by April 15th (about a week).

Obviously, I can’t afford to give him my savings for school. It took me so long to just save this much and it will barley last me the year. I have family I can stay with, but they’re on drugs and it’s an abusive environment. It’s really my absolute last option to go back living with them.

With that being said, does anybody know the laws for IL when it comes to sleeping in your car? I tried to google stuff and it isn’t very clear. I plan to rent a storage unit for my stuff if it’s practical, but I will still need a place to sleep. I could really use some advise and resources if anybody has any.

Thank you

In the US we have the death penalty. Why don't we have a rape penalty?

3 Upvotes

If we put the most heinous murderers to death, why don't we do the same to the most heinous rapists?

Say, for example, someone rapes multiple children. Wouldn't this be a proper way to achieve justice?

It would be proper justice for a rapist to be raped by a machine like that. I can't even imagine the horror that it must be to be raped.

I peed in public bc I had to!

2 Upvotes

I got my hair cut from a salon. Due to the coronavirus, no stores around me we’re allowing me to use their restroom. I had to go really really bad! I couldn’t hold it any longer! I knew I was going to urinate in my pants if I didn’t go within the next 2 minutes I pulled over in a parking lot of some sort. It was a huge lot. There was a huge soccer field to the left side of the parking lot, down a hill. And to the right of me, there was a school up near the hill. I was in the middle of both. I quickly parked the car on the very back end in the corner of the parking lot and I peed on the concrete there. I got back in my car and started on my 30 min drive back home. I really had no option other than peeing in a parking lot! I couldn’t wait to go back home I was about to explode and no one was allowing me to use their restrooms because, like I said, Coronavirus. I didn’t get caught by anyone as there was absolutely no one there. You had to drive far in to get to that parking lot. The only thing I’m scared of is getting a fine in the mail for public urination. This event took place in Dacula, Georgia if that helps. I’m not sure of the laws here! But I’m scared because I know some states require you to register as a sex offender.

I wonder, if I didn’t get caught in person, will the cameras catch me??

Minors regarding other countries

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I decided to come on here to try and get some answers for a question I’ve had for a few days. Google has been no help and I’m not a law student, so here we are. Pretty much the situation is I’m a minor in the US. A 25 year old man from the UK has added me on social media. I wouldn’t usually think much of it unless the conversation got out of hand. At first, everything was fine and it was a pleasant conversation. Then all of a sudden he started being really flirty and I got really uncomfortable. I informed him that I was not ok with his behavior and he immediately apologized. The next day, same thing happened and I called him out on it. He said “If you lived here, it wouldn’t be a problem. I’m attracted to younger girls”. It really just angers me because it feels like there are no laws that will prevent him from acting like this because we are in different countries. I just wanted to know if there are any laws that stop that kind of thing, or if it’s ok. Either way, I’m not comfortable with it. I am going to be blocking and reporting him, I just wanted to know if this behavior isn’t frowned upon. (Btw I would be legal age in the UK).

Sick time in California

While all this quarantine is going on in California, can we use mental health as a reason to ise sick time? I know mental health is a serious thing and am not making light of it, but if we are able to ise it during this period of time were people can’t work, that could relieve so much stress from ao many people

That explains itself. She won’t call authorities to stop it. Her mom isn’t home, and nobody else will do anything. There’s no way this is legal in my mind, but is it realistically?

I’m 19 (F) and there’s a 16 going on 17(M) trying to date me. Is this legal?

2 Upvotes

So I’m a 19 year old female who has run into a slight problem. I’ve been friends with this guy for almost a year. Last night he asked me out, however, I’m legally an adult and he is legally a minor. We live in Indiana. There is a Romeo and Juliet law, however, I’m still very cautious about the situation. I don’t plan on engaging in any sexual activity or even dating him until I’m 100% sure about my rights. I genuinely like him and think he’s a good guy, but I’d much rather wait until he’s at least 18 to play it safe. I just need to know if it’s legal for me to hang out with him since he’s developed feelings for me. I also need to know if it’s legal in general for me to have a relationship with him. I understand based off some small research that I can’t send any explicit photos or engage in any sexual activity over message. My main question and concern is:

Is it legal to have a relationship with him? And is it legal to have sex with him?

Any guidance is helpful. I want to maintain a respectful relationship for him, his family, and myself.

Domestic Military Policy in the US

2 Upvotes

Hi so I have been trying to learn about this for days on end on my own and can’t find the proper information, so I figured I’d ask those more astute than I.

What is the US government’s policy regarding the militaries of foreign allies operating on the US homeland? By which I mean I’ve heard and vaguely recall that the US or any country would treat foreign military operations on their soil as an act of war but I can’t find any law stating that

Help me understand precedent

2 Upvotes

In NY years ago Bloomberg wanted to pass a law that allowed the state to control the consumption of sugary drinks. The issue people had was that if given this power it would set the precedent on the gov controlling what we eat. So maybe in the future they could just make us all vegetarian if they desired (just a random choice not very real). Is this a real application of precedent in law?

If so , I have a follow up question.
