On a Minecraft Server (where the server was dying), I got pissed at the admins for dismissing my ideas, so I composed a farewell post with ideas that might help the server to prevent it from falling out of existence completely. Unfortunately, I had to label that Admins were talking down to me, and one of the admins took it to offense, so we started having a heated discussion on the forums about how they were lying, and then how I was lying, and then I said "Biggest issue of our country is that our elected officials are all like ; they lie so much, they believe their own lies." The admin then took it that I was saying things against the US Government and attacking it, threatening to bring it to court and prosecute me.

Could I really be prosecuted? He/she threatened me with the Patriot Act with this one.

The criminals are prosecuted by the state, because of the fact the guidelines are surpassed by the state legislatures and enforced by the state, community and county police, and prosecuted by the District legal experts, who're the administrative regulation enforcement officers of their respective counties. they are prosecuted by the DA's who're charged by statute with implementing the guidelines. In maximum states, a private citizen can record a utility for criminal criticism against yet another citizen, yet while the criticism is issued, the citizen would be responsible for prosecuting. regulation enforcement companies record lawsuits on behalf of the electorate, who then exchange into witnesses for the government. sufferers continuously reserve the main appropriate to record a civil wholesome against the defendant.

As above, with the added information that you could not be found guilty for stating a fact.



Are you and the admins all 12 year old kids? 12 year old kids make this sort of stupid threat.

He is an idiot for suggesting such a thing, and you are an idiot for believing it. You are both idiots for getting into an argument with a fool.
