Receiving stolen property

Read a random definition: Defense Information Systems Agency

A quick definition of Receiving stolen property:

Term: Receiving stolen property

Definition: Receiving stolen property means taking something that belongs to someone else without their permission. It is a crime when a person knows that the item they are taking is stolen and they plan to keep it for themselves instead of returning it to the rightful owner. This is wrong and against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Receiving stolen property is a crime where a person is guilty of receiving property that they know is stolen and they intend to keep it permanently, depriving the rightful owner of their property.

Examples:

  • John buys a bike from a stranger for a very low price. He knows that the bike is stolen but he buys it anyway. John is guilty of receiving stolen property.
  • Samantha's friend gives her a watch as a gift. Samantha later finds out that the watch was stolen. She decides to keep it anyway. Samantha is guilty of receiving stolen property.

These examples illustrate the definition of receiving stolen property because in both cases, the individuals knew that the property was stolen and they intended to keep it permanently. This is a crime because it deprives the rightful owner of their property and encourages theft.

I told my family I won’t get any decisions until 2025 so they wouldn’t bombard me hahah
no i think there should be a Law School combine with all new drills except there is still the 40 yard dash
and a sub 4.5 gets you into any t14
LSAT can be one of the drills

So all the D1 athletes will get into a T-14. What else is new?
@TheAdoptedOne: that is called "Dean Poker Night" lol
@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
this is like the schizophrenic posts JJK tik tok be putting out

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications
