  • In the US there isn’t but as far as I can tell, over here in Germany lawyers and doctors are not permitted to report past crimes. The damage has been done and there is no harm to prevent anymore, as such keeping confidentiality has a higher priority than the state’s desire to prosecute crimes.

    Even if these groups become aware of future planned crimes, they are not obligated to report anything if they genuinely attempt to prevent the person from comitting the crime (except for murder, manslaughter, kidnapping/taking hostages, genocide or war crimes).

    How does the nonexistant confidentiality of lawyers prevent them from deciding to stop being your lawyer and become a witness against you? I.e. you are accused of a crime, admit said crime to your lawyer, your lawyer then becomes a witness stating you admitted to the crime.





  • Why would color blind people struggle with this sign? There are no similar looking signs which mean something different.

    The closest one would be this one:

    And any color blind person is able to distinguish those two easily.

    I see how it can be confusing for someone not used to it but for anyone who grew up in a country where this is the default it is perfectly understandable.
