Sovcit is having trouble finding the case law that says he doesn't have to pay his credit cards.
(lemmy.world)
I wonder why.
It's the opposite... They believe in laws so hard they lose all common sense
The worst part is they're kinda right much of the time. A cop really isn't allowed to demand your ID just because you were driving, they are not supposed to have they ability.
The stuff they say about free travel isn't nonsense, it's actually a very important right we've allowed to be taken away
But obviously, you still have to show ID, because the law is nonsense. We learn it by gossiping, we enforce it based on what cops think is legal
Obviously, the court will not rule that capital one has to discharge the debt, because, lawful or not, our entire economy is based on debt
It's sad, because these people believe in the rules too hard... They haven't understood the absurdity of our society. They think underneath it all, there must be some kind of fairness
wait, why can't a cop ask to see your license to drive a dangerous machine at high speed?
cops (or a member of the equivalent enforcing body) can ask to see your hunting and fishing and boating licenses, what's the difference?
Because your traveling. That's an enshrined right we have given up. The government isn't supposed to restrict your right to travel freely, which was an intentional choice and not the case everywhere
Freedom of travel shouldn't be taken for granted. Right now we technically have it, but it's tracked everywhere. You shouldn't have to show ID at the airport or a bus station, but at this point you do. It's not a far cry from there to needing to have travel permits... It's basically what's being done to immigrants at this point, they can travel, but they'll be harassed and possibly arrested
Now, there are some practical considerations when it comes to cars, but the right itself is basically non-existent at this point
