A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In Scots law, reset refers to two things:

1. The act of knowingly receiving stolen goods.
2. The act of harboring or sheltering a criminal or outlaw (archaic).

Examples:

• If someone buys a stolen phone from a thief, they are committing reset.
• In the past, people who helped criminals hide from the law were also guilty of reset.

The examples illustrate how reset involves knowingly aiding or abetting criminal activity. In the first example, the person who buys the stolen phone is aware that it was stolen and is therefore guilty of reset. In the second example, the person who helps a criminal hide from the law is also aware of their illegal activity and is therefore guilty of reset.
