Found this in the Criminal Code of Canada. Got any weird laws (or exceptions in the law) from your country to share?

Found this in the Criminal Code of Canada. Got any weird laws (or exceptions in the law) from your country to share?

sounds reasonable to me. why do you think this one is weird?

>be surgeon
>botch operation
>"Le opps I tried my best :)"

yeah, real fair

Causing a nuclear explosion can get you up to 5 years in prison in Germany

"Up to"

Let me guess, smoking cocaine gets you 10?

That statute just protects them from criminal charges. They can still be sued for malpractice, correct?

if a swede crosses the frozen sea between denmark and sweden we're allowed to hit them with a stick until they leave XDDDDDDD

The criminal code doesn't even say you need a license to be a surgeon, so this also protects anyone willing to operate on you. So let's say you're trans and want your dick cut off, nothing is stopping you from asking a family member to do it. They don't need to know anything about surgery if they performed it with "reasonable care and skill". Whatever the fuck that means.

What if they came through Germany? What if they were born in Denmark? Can you take a baseball bat to their head?

this
"reasonable care and skill" implies proper training and education. and (b) literally contradicts the point you're trying to make. this is just a general case to shield a heart/brain surgeon etc from criminal charges when they take a risky operation because greedy relatives want to profit from unfortunate deaths. malpractice is not covered by this by (ab) and (b)

If they know nothing about surgery then they possess no surgical skill, and therefore are not protected.

The problem here is that you don't understand the meaning of the word "skill" in a legal context. It does not mean "pretty good at it, I guess", it means "comparable to professional standards for the industry".

You are allowed to trespass on German property if you are trying to catch a fleeing swarm of bees that belongs to you.

These arguments would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that a lot of the criminal code specifically states when a license is required and when it isn't. Such as when owning a gun or operating an airplane. It does not, however, say that you absolutely need to possess a license to perform a surgery. It may be interpreted that way by the courts, which is how common law works and is why no one is performing surgery on a whim, but the law still permits anyone to perform surgery.

It's similar to the whole "crime comic" thing whereby any depiction of a crime in Canadian media is illegal. So going to see a movie about a psychopathic murderer would constitute a crime, but since we have a common law system it's rarely ever interpreted as such.

Here's a solution: don't detonate nuclear weapons or smoke cocaine.

You are also allowed to enter the houses or appartments if you compensate the owner for the caused damages.

Technically we can do that here too without the bees. It's called squatters rights. As long as you don't break and enter, such as if the door is unlocked, then you can freely enter the house of another person. I don't think you're allowed to use or damage their stuff, but if you are living there without any interference for 7 years then the property becomes yours.

which is because according to law if your bees fly away and you do not immidiately take up the chase or give up the chase, you lose ownership of the bees

When the Queen dies, all book signings and fiddle lessons in Canada must immediately cease until the coronation of the next monarch.

>smoking cocaine

That is intentional, because otherwise emergency surgery by an unlicensed, but otherwise reasonably competent individual would be criminal. The way the law is currently written, a simple surgery like an urgent appendix removal is possible without fear of punishment.

This ties into what in the US are referred to as "Good Samaritan laws", which are intended to shield first aiders from legal reprisal for actions taken in the attempt to save someone's life. If, for example, you're performing CPR on someone and break their ribs, as long as you can demonstrate that you are performing CPR correctly, you aren't liable for that injury, because it's acknowledged that sometimes that happens despite all care and, frankly, it's better than the alternative.

Without these legal considerations, people become very unwilling to help others in an emergency for fear of being held responsible if anything goes wrong.

We have the same laws

what the fuck?
Why Is Canada full of criminals?
This law is really fears.

It's illegal in Vermont to deny the existence of God.
iirc, Vermont is the least religious state in the US.

It's illegal to ride a giraffe. Apparently some kooky character bought a giraffe and rode it around like a horse.

It's illegal for municipalities to ban the use of outdoor clotheslines in Vermont.
State?

Idaho.

Why did they have to make that illegal? Did something bad happen as a result of him riding his 'raffe through Boise?

Its for emergencies, for example if some has an allergic reaction and their throat closes up. You can slice into the trachea to create an airhole so they won't suffocate.

this isn't weird at all, every common law jurisdiction has the same kind of provision

it makes things less complicated since you can have a series of general offences for damaging another person and then defences, including medical necessity

that would be fucking stupid since that would mean someone that was cut off from medical care couldn't be treated at all.

s 45(b) maintains that it has to be reasonable, so if there is the reasonable possibility of a trained professional being able to come and help them then a random guy isn't able to operate, but it may allow for someone to be walked through a basic procedure by a professional on the phone or for someone like a nurse who is generally familiar with the procedure to undertake it where no care would otherwise be received and not get charged with GBH or some shit.

Since Croats don't recognise Republika Srpska (Serbian "entity" in Bosnia), Croats can do anything illegal in Republika Srpska, get caught and can just go back to Croatia. If you get a letter calling you to a court in Republika Srpska, you don't have to go since Croatia officially doesn't recognise the entity.

This is also used as a common defense tactic by Croat soldiers that commited war crimes there during the Yugoslav wars.

Breddy fucked 2bh
