  • My dad had a well at once house he had. Something broke on it, and the city (suburbs, but still) stepped in and forced him to pay several thousand dollars to have excavators come out and hook the house up to city water. They wouldn’t let him fix the well.

    Edit: I think the pump gave out, and the city stepped in because zoning laws changed since the house was built. The well was grandfathered in to old zoning laws until the pump broke.



  • The wiki page says right on it that under 18 is considered a minor for federal and forbids any interstate transport for illicit sexual activities. So any pornography (even within same state if internet/messengers are used), and any sexual acts that would be illegal where teaveled to (which could be determined by the state’s age of consent instead of the federal term of minor).

    I was more trying to point out that some stuff that states find legal could get pulled into being illegal on the federal level in certain cases.


  • Federal is still at 18, I’m mostly sure, but they don’t really get involved unless it fall under their jurisdiction; mainly when interstate commerce is in-play such as internet porn.

    But then what about high school couples that are 18 or 19 with 17? Most states have a Romeo & Juliet clause for near age couples to ignore that but I’ve heard of people getting arrested at 18 for cp because their 17 year old gf sent them nudes. (Interstate commerce = internet = federal jurisdiction)
