Criminal Justice Class 23

[OOC: He's back! And after a couple pretty serious classes, it's time to have some fun! Weeeeeee! And this is up a little extra early today because I am, too. Back to sleep for another hour, though! Class Info Link.]

*The Tick is at the podium, looking excited and maybe just a bit nervous. This was his first class in two weeks, after all. On his desk is his gradebook. It has, for some reason, some turkey feathers on it. There may be a story there. Lockheed is perched atop his normal bookcase.*

Hello, students! It's been a while! I understand that class has been good in my absence. I have to take a moment to thank Lockheed and Rory for filling in while I was taking care of a situation back home. Thank you both! You're extremely keen for helping me out like that!

A few points of note before our discussion today: First, extra credit should be given to Rory since I don't even know what it is. Second, remember, the end of term is less than a month away. You should probably start looking over your notes soon so you aren't caught unprepared at the last minute. Third, you'll get your quizzes back on Tuesday. Sorry for the delay, but things have been hectic.

And finally, we will be having a special class a week from Tuesday. On December 13th, we will be having a panel discussion. The panel will consist of four of my fellow superheroes from The City. Each one has a unique perspective on heroism and Justice, so it should be a fun time. For the people who aren't playing all four of them, plus Tick and Lockheed, at least. For people like that, we'll have a pool going for how long it takes before the mun's head explodes. Come prepared with plenty of questions for them!

Finally, our discussion. Put aside any ethical objections you may have to hunting. We're going to be looking at it from a strictly legal perspective.

I have reports of at least one incident where a hunter was misled by anthropomorphic animals - who have, it should be noted, pretty keen minds and are from the same dimension as our old friend Mr. Road Runner - into thinking that it was rabbit season when it was, in fact, duck season. Now, this man, Mr. Elmer Fudd, is a professional hunter, fully licensed for hunting and handling firearms. If he is tricked by the animals into shooting an out-of-season animal - such as a rabbit, a goat, a mongoose, a dirty skunk, or a baseball - what should happen to Mr. Fudd? Should he be punished? Lose his hunting license? Or should he get off because he was tricked? And should anything be done to the animals who performed this trickery?

Discuss!

[Most serious hunters have their seasons memorized, if they shoot an animal that's not in season they should be held accountable. If he shoots an animal out of season then he needs to have his hunting license taken away and if he was convinced by someone else that it was a different season (And be default a different month) then his gun permit should also be revoked.

Hunting seasons change from state to state and yet are generally the same, cotton-tail rabbit season tends to run from mid September until late February while Duck season is generally shorter, running on and off from late September until early October in some places and early October until early December in others.

Because of the potential for crossover in seasons all hunters who hunt for both rabbit and water-foul must be mindful of the dates and be held extra-accountable for any mistakes they make. They cannot be let go without punishment because they were "tircked" into it. If that were to happen how would we be able to prevent poachers who would undoubtably claim that they "didn't know" a particular animal wasn't allowed to be shot in any season?

It's sad how much fun I have with this.]

[Thank you, this is so much more fun than my real AJS101 class. Of course we're the" basics of the basics" class so...

If The Tick offers this next semester Jack is so right here.]

You'd have to sign up for Advanced Criminal Justice. Take the poll!

((Yay! I'm personally hoping for open tryouts again, even though I'm not interested in Janet being a TA. I just want to try out.))

[I'm already trying to think of ways for Jack to rig himself a win.]

((I don't think that Justice lets you rig yourself a win. OTOH, it's always worth a try!))
