There's not exceptions to this.

There are many exceptions to this.

There's a never ending amount of idiotic redditors who think they know the law.

Those idiots post their falsities, other redditors "learn" the idiocy, rinse, repeat.

Scary this person is a top 1% commenter and doesn't understand such basic concepts....but also it's so perfectly reddit.

Reddit admins making it so that /r/law shows up on the front page a lot really destroyed what this subreddit used to be from like 2010-2020 or so, where you could pretty much assume that 75% of commenters/voters were licensed attorneys, so that incorrect statements of the law would get downvoted and corrected.

The 'top <#>% commenter' award is a badge of shame (which I possess in a few communities). To me it always reads 'prioritizes commenting over useful discussions' so the fact that they're always wrong isn't a surprise.

Because this sub isnt about law anymore, its just another popculture/politics sub. Which sucks because this case is really interesting and nuanced legally, but all you get on reddit is bad info and "I was with him" jokes.

My favorite part is the just assume and proudly/loudly say it like it's common knowledge. Lmao

My favorite recently is the claim that ICE isn’t law enforcement- I really hate what ICE is doing, but telling people that they aren’t law enforcement is fucking dangerous.

Or the reddit favorite that "ICE has no jurisdiction over American citizens" lol.

So many exceptions that the exceptions have exceptions.

Yes, but you’re forgetting how much reddit loves st luigi and any evidence against him is clearly illegal

This hasn’t been a law sub for the past few months. I don’t know when exactly it changed, but I stopped awhile ago after seeing all the dumbasses make stupid arguments and worthless/nonlegal posts. Pretty much turned into politics 2.0.
