This is a purely educational website. Nothing here is legal advice or creates or implies an attorney-client relationship. If you have a specific legal issue, PLEASE talk to a lawyer who practices where you live—laws vary from place to place, and how they're applied varies from courthouse to courthouse. Your local county bar association can probably refer someone who handles matters like yours.
By using this site, you agree that you are awesome. Use of this site also constitutes acceptance of its Terms of Service and Privacy Policies, which are known to medical science as a cure for insomnia.
It's best to keep all discussions in the comments. But if you really need to reach Nathan privately, go ahead and email him at n.e.burney@gmail.com. He won't mind.
THE ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO LAW and the PEEKING JUSTICE logo are pretty damn cool trademarks and should probably be registered one of these days.

“No, over here, sir. With your face smooshed against the wall.”
…is it my imagination, or are those captions new?
It’s not your imagination ;)
Yeah, I’d left them out by mistake.
Of COURSE the cop is gonna say they saw some shit! Just look at youtube at all the times they actually get caught… How many times do they get aw32ay with making shit up? Jury Nullification every time for the win! I’ve made it happen before and I’ll gladly make it happen again.
Seeing how this is fictional work used to show how the legal side of things(are supposed) to work, it’s not too far of a stretch to have something come up.
Key word here is fictional, though. The comic could have an arc having chocolate sauce illegal, and all that would do is illustrate a point or be used to show how the law should handle it.
Be careful about mentioning that in public, lest you end up like Laura Kriho.
These are dangerous times for freedom.
Kriho wasn’t prosecuted for convincing the rest of the jury to nullify, she was prosecuted for contempt of court by failing to mention her involvement in marijuana advocacy groups during voir dire.
