I feel like there are other KZfaq channels that would take a different approach here. ▪ With thanks to Professor Brian Kalt: his original article is here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.c... -- any inaccuracies that have slipped in are mine alone, and this is, obviously, not legal advice!
To save you doing the research, my location while recording this was approximately 44.14 N, 111.05 W. I got three mosquito bites in under thirty minutes, including one on my hand.
(And the credits for this one are very old-school, so I'm adding a slightly self-aggrandising note here: I did everything for this video! The camera, the editing, the sound mix, the graphics. It's good to know I can still do that occasionally!)

The lawyer did say that signs were posted , but never mentioned if anyone was actually working at 11pm. The law states that it for it to be a work zone, it must have signs AND workers present.... we really didnt have much to go one though.

@MenloMarseilles 7 күн бұрын

I would have loudly advocated for a "not guilty" verdict in that situation TBH. If the instructions' definition of the crime has three pieces (speeding, in a zone with the signs, where people are working), and the prosecution only bothered to present evidence for two, then they didn't do their job and have nobody but themselves to blame.

My son and I went hiking through here last summer after watching this... Just because... (He lives only a couple of hours away). There is a reed-filled lake in there with about a billion moquitos per sqare meter, which were the only beings we ancountered except for the occasional squirrel and some sandhill cranes. We didn't see another soul out or back for the four hours. We then drove around to the west entrance of the park (about 2 hours from the "zone" entrance) and endured nearly as many humans as the moquitos. BTW, as isolated as this section is and so little traffic, the chances of somebody hanging out in the zone just waiting for an unsuspecting hiker to eventually show up and give them opportunity to commit the perfect crime is not worth any worry. There are many more effective and eficient ways to be evil if so incluned.

I think if anyone actually tried to get away with murder via this loophole, the federal government would try to _"Al Capone"_ them. The prosecution would try to charge you with any and all potential crimes you committed outside the zone, e.g. conspiracy, or kidnapping (if you took someone there against their will) and make sure you got the maximum sentence on every single one of them. I think it would be close to impossible to commit murder inside the zone without committing any crimes before/after which could get you a custodial sentence.

@@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa 1. You would need to just happen across a tourist. Deliberately going around looking for people would certainly speak to premeditation (and so bolster a conspiracy charge). _[edit] as other people have pointed out, I incorrectly used "conspiracy" as a synonym for "premeditation" here. I now believe the more accurate charge on the basis of premeditation could be attempted murder._ 2. Any tourist in the "zone of death" is likely there precisely because it's the "zone of death". It's unlikely that they wouldn't have anything on them (even something like pepper spray) to defend themselves from a physical assault. 3. Unless you could demonstrate that you were acting in self-defence and wholly unable to flee, beating someone to death is still murder and a conspiracy charge could still be made.

In England there is still a Law (going back many many centuries) which states that it is legal to kill a Scotsman within the City Walls of York as long as he is armed with a bow and arrow at the time. The city walls still exist and the Law has never been formally repealed. This loophole was explored ( theoretically at least, down the pub) during the tenure of a particularly unpopular Prime Minister, Gordon Brown who was a Scot. Elaborate schemes were devised to lure him to York, thrust a bow and arrow into his hands when he was unawares, and then hurray! Open season.

In this case, the RCMP were responsible for the area, but the nearest detachment was hours away. It's not like you couldn't be charged for a crime, but the likelihood of ever being caught was slim to none. Especially if there were no living witnesses and you buried the evidence. The area is absolutely massive, and almost completely untouched save for old logging access roads. I used to explore up there in my truck until I crossed a lived in mobile home trailer that looked like something out of a Rob Zombie film. I never really took the warnings seriously until that moment, never again did I journey into no man's land.

The Strip became THE PLACE TO GO to let your hair down, drink, gamble, and spend sometime with the soiled doves at a large white house that is still standing today, just off of Highway 40. There was more than a few gun fights, duels, what have you. If there was a real problem there... the Army would be called in and the famous Buffalo Soldiers stationed near by at Fort Duschene on the Ute Indian reservation would come in and take care of it.
