Sylvanas didn't even win the popular vote, she was elected by an indirect election of representatives. #NotMyWarchief
I think it's the reason he had an OS on a thumbdrive, not for having an OS on a thumbdrive.
Not a good example but best I could come up with is lets say you have a CCL for a gun, carrying one isn't illegal for you. But if you go rob a bank, even if you don't pull it out, you will be charged not just with robbery but armed robbery.
That's how I understand the charge anyway...
If Person A is shown to have known Person B was a radical and likely to commit an act of terrorism, and assists him in some way, he gets to go free under German law? I find that hard to believe, typically you arrest and prosecute all connected with the plot, not just those who plan to carry out the deed itself.
Is there no conspiracy type laws in Germany?
according to this
https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/e...tgb.html#p0148
1) Any person who intentionally assists another in the intentional commission of an unlawful act shall be convicted and sentenced as an aider.
i guess that means it comes down to proving intentions again
however i have no idea what that link is, was just one of the first results on google that wasn't in German :\
In this case they were alleged to be knowingly assisting, by providing plans for encrypting evidence of terrorist activities and apparently also missile guidance systems.
I'd be surprised if German law differed in the fundamentals from UK law in this respect, it would make breaking up terrorist rings in Germany virtually impossible if it was very different.
I was also discussing this scenario, which is not so clear and present:
As an example:
If you can prove that Person A knows that Person B has been radicalized and is likely to commit an act of terrorism, then it's a fair assumption that Person A was intentionally being complicit with Person B (ie: Person A was knowingly aiding Person B.).
