minus-squaredual_sport_dork 🐧🗡️@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-22 days agoNot just Nebraska but most, possibly all, US states. From what I’ve seen, anyhow. Hence my note about it being a term of art. In the law books it doesn’t mean the same thing normal people think it ought to mean. (Same thing with “assault,” incidentally.)
minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoWell shit, TIL. Genuienly thank you for the uh… legal education, I guess you’d say. Maybe its just that the state I am from is particularly weird about this, or maybe I just had an unfounded notion. Either way, always appreciate being less wrong.
