derivative contraband

Read a random definition: representative action

A quick definition of derivative contraband:

Derivative contraband is something that becomes illegal to have when it is used to do something illegal. For example, if someone uses a car to transport drugs, the car becomes derivative contraband. This is different from contraband per se, which is something that is always illegal to have no matter how it is used. Contraband is when people trade or smuggle things that are not allowed, like weapons or goods that are not allowed to be imported or exported.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Derivative contraband is a type of illegal item that becomes unlawful when it is used in committing an illegal act. It is different from contraband per se, which is illegal to possess regardless of how it is used.

Examples: A common example of derivative contraband is a car used in a drug trafficking operation. The car itself is not illegal to possess, but when it is used to transport drugs, it becomes derivative contraband. Another example is a computer used to commit cybercrime. The computer is legal to own, but when it is used to commit illegal activities, it becomes derivative contraband.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how derivative contraband is different from contraband per se. In both cases, the items themselves are legal to possess, but they become illegal when they are used in committing illegal acts. This distinction is important because it allows law enforcement to target the use of items in criminal activity, rather than just the possession of illegal items.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
