Pretty sure that the US doesn't consider identity theft much of a crime either, actually. It's only when it enters the realm of "aggravated identity theft" (meaning that it happens during or in relation to a type of fraud) that it's criminalized behavior, which is identical to what the UK does.
Spoiler BRITAIN STRONG
REPEAL THE SECOND
Unauthorized possession of another person's identifying documents or credit/debit cards is a crime in the US.
No fraudulent intent or action is required.
That's interesting. Do you have a source for that?
I got a m8 who went to jail for it.
Found himself a wallet and decided not to turn it in.
The credit card issue is immediately assumed to be fraudulent intent, and carrying not just somebody else's identification, but multiples of your own identification, is against the law.
You cannot carry two ID cards which serve the same purpose.
Possessing another person's SSN card is very illegal.
Passports don't even get me started on.
The only thing I can think of its okay to have is somebody else's birth certificate.
None of that is a source, though.
If firsthand experience doesn't work for you, then not much will.
I'm not digging through the penal code on mobile.
Firsthand experience tends to often be biased and not too reliable. Sorry, but "it happened to my mate once" is not enough of a reason for me to just believe that all unauthorized possession of identification documents is a crime in the entirety US. It's not that I don't believe you, but "this person online told me about this friend who got in trouble" just doesn't really cut it when I'm looking for something actually concrete to read up on. I've just done a bit of digging myself and found these two statutes of federal criminal law relating to identity theft in the US.18 US Code 1028: making it a crime to knowingly transfer or use, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law. It criminalizes the production / usage of false ID's, the possession of another person's documents with criminal intent and so forth. Doesn't seem to say anything about mere possession of someone else's documents or credit cards. 18 US Code 1028A: making "aggravated" identity theft a crime, meaning that you use identity theft as a means to commit other more serious felonies listed in the statute. So it's possible that you don't know the whole story of what happened to your friend and that there was more to it than someone just hanging on to a wallet they found. Or, which is also a real possibility, it might be so that your state or area has its own more stringent laws on identity theft than those that exist on a federal level. Either way, I'm really not seeing a reason to believe that the mere unauthorized possession of someone else's identifying documents is a crime in all of the US and is prosecuted under "identity theft".

It's like you want to lose
Well, this is American criminal law, which is pretty far outside of my area of expertise and something I'm really not very interested in. I might very well be wrong on this, so I'm just asking for a source (as in a section of the US criminal code) that criminalizes all unauthorised possessions of another person's identifying documents.

>like how people of color are disproportionately more likely to end up in jail, despite us not mentioning that they also commit a disproportionately high amount of serious crimes compared to how little of the total American population they account for I wonder if racial minorities are more likely to end up in jail because they are more likely to be products of broken homes and shitty schools, so they're left with few options, so they choose a life of crime...
(x race) people don't commit more crimes because they're (x).
Meta already explained my point there. This isn't all about race, nor did I ever imply that black people commit more crimes just because they're black. Sure, racism is still alive and well, more so in some parts of the world than others. And sure, there might be some secretly racist cops out there who are more inclined to crack down harder on blacks than whites. But there's no evil institutionalised conspiracy to fuck over the black man. There's no panel of old white men rubbing their hands, chuckling over their plans to further oppress and screw with minorities just because of the color of there skin. The reason that there's a disproportionally large amount of blacks in jail is not because their race is inherently more criminal or some bullshit, nor is it because "the system" is out to keep the black man down. It's because certain races are just more likely to end up in situations that promote criminalized behaviors due to factors unrelated to the color of their skin, like broken the homes, shitty schools and lower social classes that you mentioned. I am a privileged person and fully recognize this. I come from a wealthy family of highly educated and generally smart people with many connections and a decent amount of influence. Pretty much everyone in my close family has at least a Master's and is a successful businessman, lawyer, notary, doctor, surgeon, dentist or some other high end profession. I grew up in a stable home with two loving parents who ensured that I got everything I needed, supported me in every way they could, fostered my interests, helped me strive for excellence and paid for my higher education. In that sense, I know that I am very privileged. But literally none of that has to do with the color of my skin or my race. Back when I was 11 years old and started high school, there was a foreign girl of color in my class. Both of her parents were migrant workers. They were not well off financially, hadn't received a higher education and hardly spoke Dutch. This, obviously, reflected on her. She had very little support from home, didn't speak the language well and struggled with other things that I didn't have to worry about at all. For whatever reason, her parents had to move and so she was forced to change schools halfway through the year. I didn't hear from her (or even thought about her) for many years afterwards. Three years ago, I saw her again. She didn't end up working some minimum wage job or in a hopeless situation that some might suspect. No, she ended up being halfway through her Bachelor's in Law from the best university in the country and one of the best law schools in the world. She had successfully finished high school with good grades and was eligible for governmental student aid in addition to the already relatively low cost of education here, giving her the exact same institutionally supported opportunities that I had. Point being that while some people are undoubtedly more privileged than others, little of it has to do with the color of their skin. As others have already pointed out, it's far more related to classism, background / family situation and social mobility than to a racist system trying to keep the black man down just because of the color of his skin. Does this deserve attention and is it a real problem? Absolutely. But this whole white guilt and "if you disagree with us, it's just because you're blinded by the privilege you should be checking" rhetoric doesn't quite do it for me.

No, but just about every form of it can fall under UK deception, fraud or personal data protection laws and can result in both criminal sentences and civil suits for tort.
And thanks to the influence of the CoE and EU, I'd also reckon that UK human rights are generally more fleshed out than those in the US, despite the UK being a bit of a rebellious type of member.

>and like the entirely unsourced claim that news outlets somehow focus over 75% more on black men killing white girls than on intraracial homicides
Yeah, sorry but no. I know that racism is alive and well and that I'm privileged because of my background, but this isn't doing it for me.

And start with the body. A proper intro requires you to know your paper well.
Hey I'm a middle grade math teacher, I don't have to do shit like theses until after my bachelor's should I want to try for a principal job, even then I think those things are like 40 pages from what I've heard. I'm no law genius like you 
Yeah, I'm not much of a genius. Just an average guy.
I didn't know you were a math teacher, that's awesome. What do you teach? Algebra, calculus and such?
In comparison to education level here, you are pretty high up there. In middle grades, usually pre-algebra is the highest kids go. I'm still in my internship, so I get moved around a lot for experience.
Ah, I see. That's cool. How much longer does your internship last and where will it take you? Are you going to remain a middle school teacher or will you teach other age groups as well?

Half of this thread is Flee flexing.
You know what they mean. "Knowledge" is a better term. They didn't mean "information" in the legal sense.
Sorry, I just like talking about this stuff. I sometimes forget not everyone thinks of it in the same way I have grown accustomed to.

Body first, for me. I suck at intros and conclusions.
Even if you don't suck at them, it's usually considered better to start with the body. Preliminary research, research question, research, preliminary table of contents, body, conclusion, introduction. Then acknowledgements, abstract, annex and bibliography.

Pretty torn on this, to be honest.
By the way, I think this is great coming from someone who is perfectly okay with pirating video games.
For the purposes of demos, thank you very much. This is also quite a different scenario. There's a big difference between pirating the occasional game and supporting a single, easily accessible database allowing everyone to gain instant and easy access to every game ever. Oh and Turkey, patents don't keep information secret. A major component of patent law is that the information in them is made entirely public. And for those wondering, I just started on my thread on intellectual property.

Added, thanks. You're free to add the other one too if you find the time.
Cool Pokemon btw. Fletchinder and Doduo are neat.
You're welcome. You have Electrode and Helioptile, what's your third pokemon?
Zebstrika. The other code has Phantump, Lampent and Drifblim.
I have my Pokemon X connected to wifi now, if you want to find my third pokemon.
Yep, got it.

Just caught a shiny Dunsparce in yours, Psy. Thanks fam. You should unlock your 3rd pokemon though.
Um, for which game? It's been quite a while so I've kinda forgotten how to.
I know that I have a chansey for my third in XY and iirc it's the same for both games <.<
Yeah, XY. I'm only getting a Loudred and Dunsparce for you.
hmm
I think I have to be online in the game at the same time as you, are you online ingame at the moment? If so I'll turn it on and log into X
Yeah, I'm online right now. Would be cool if you could do it, but no rush.
I'm online so I think it should have worked, is your IGN living dex?
That's the one. I should update the living dex progress thread again. Currently sitting at 96% and only need like 4 more normals and then a bunch of event pokemon to complete it.
All good then, enjoy farming for lucky eggs e.e
Thanks man, I'll let you know if we find a shiny Chansey.

Not really. While the right to information is pretty well recognized, it's easily one of the rights that is subjected to the most limits and has never been extended to the information being free (as in free of charge).
For what good reason should information regarding the truth and function of the universe not be freely available to everyone?
I'm talking about the right as a whole, so far. An unlimited right to information would mean that it'd trump any other right and require every single piece of information to be available freely to all. This means that everyone's bank information, government records, criminal justice info, details of ongoing investigations, private conversations, passwords and so forth would be public property and available to all. An absolute right to free information would imply that all information (save for some restrictions) would be available at no charge whatsoever. Now mind you, information doesn't just cover scientific research. It covers just about everything. A person makes a movie? Should be available to all for free. A book? Same thing. Magazines, pictures, music, events, websites? All information. It would kill any sort of subscription and sales based enterprise, as they would be forced to publicize everything they do or create. Now don't get me wrong, I do love what this thread is about. I'd reckon that I'm one of the members here who has done some of the most academic research and I absolutely feel the pain of paywalls. But I can see the reasons against this. Research and creating papers like this doesn't come cheap, and people don't usually spend tremendous amounts of time and effort just to better humanity. They want something in return.
