      IANAL, but it’s a hypothetical (and a joke). If you get charged with vandalizing the pool or beaten for no other reason than wearing a shirt, you could probably win that lawsuit. There’s a lot of things they could do to ‘punish’ you that you couldn’t win a lawsuit over, like detaining.

        My mom died in early 2024, and my sister and I are still in a legal battle for her bank account against the cult she was a member of. Her bank account had my sister and I listed as beneficiaries, and the will made no mention of the cult that would override that, and yet the cult was still able to put a freeze on the accounts and fight us for over 2 years and $50k in legal fees so far, just because they made an unfounded claim to the money. If a bunch of idiots who think vaccines have tracking chips in them can do that, I imagine the government can do a lot more.

        4 cops saw you “pouring a liquid into the pool”.
        Their witness accounts don’t match up and 3 of them were on the other side of the city at the time, but the judge believes them anyway.

        The Federal government has to allow you to sue them. Soverign Immunity is what it’s called, and it applies to most countries in some form.
