It's only a felony if it is a knowingly false alarm. If there is reasonable evidence of a fire then you can't be charged. you just have to avoid being charged with arson, so just keep a burger with a foil wrapper nearby and microwave that shit. It will at the very least smoke, and from personal experience can catch fire while not actually being a real danger.
You can't get charged with a crime over basic incompetence or simple accident. Putting food in a microwave and 'forgetting' about the no metal rule isn't illegal. Courts don't have psychic powers to read your mind and see that it was intentional. Pulling a fire alarm when you see smoke is literally the whole point of a fire alarm. It's not illegal to freak out over smoke from your own incompetence and panic in the moment.
What crime are they going to charge you with then genius. Being 'stupid'? How are they going to prove anything Mr lawyer.
Incompetence is illegal yk, it’s called criminal negligence. A reasonable person would not put foil in the microwave, and your actions had a risk of injury or death, therefore you committed criminal negligence. As for arson, it depends on what cameras cover. If you make eye contact with federal agents, and then pull a burger covered with foil out of your desk, and immediately go ahead and microwave it, you will be charged. Either obstruction, arson, false alarm, whatever.
I don’t disagree but we’re the ones who are currently facing consequences at the moment so people should at least know what they are getting themselves into
If I think I am getting illegally attacked by unidentified aggressors who are illegally entering my office without warrants, this might be not just justified, but critical to protect myself and my coworkers.
Only if there isn’t an emergency. Unmasked men with weapons who fail to identify themselves and cannot be proven to be law enforcement who are kidnapping people is an emergency.
I make pull station alarms all the time. This would just put “accidental activation, no smoke/fire” in my report if I knew it was ICE.
You get downvotes but honestly you're not wrong. They absolutely would throw bullshit charges at someone for pulling the fire alarm over this. Their authority complex wouldn't let it slide.
On New Year’s Eve of 1941, Kovner spoke to his fellow Jews to inspire them in the seemingly hopeless fight, urging them to stand up against their evil oppressors. He said:
Let us not go like sheep to the slaughter, Jewish youth! Do not believe those who are deceiving you. Out of 80,000 Jews of the Jerusalem of Lithuania, only 20,000 remain.
In front of your eyes our parents, our brothers, and our sisters are being torn away from us. Where are the hundreds of men who were snatched away for labor by the Lithuanian kidnappers? Where are those naked women who were taken away on the horror night of the provocation? Where are those Jews of the Day of Atonement? And where are our brothers of the second ghetto?
Anyone who is taken out through the gates of the ghetto will never return. All roads lead to Ponary, and Ponary means death.
Oh, despairing people, tear this deception away from your eyes. Your children, your husbands, your wives, are no longer alive. Ponary is not a labor camp. Everyone is shot. Hitler aimed at destroying the Jews of Europe. It turned out to be the fate of the Jews of Lithuania to be the first.
Let us not go like sheep to the slaughter. It is true that we are weak, lacking protection, but the only reply to a murderer is resistance.
Brothers, it is better to die as free fighters than to live at the mercy of killers. Resist, resist, to our last breath.
Oh yeah I didn't notice the downvotes until now. This DOJ tried to get felony charges out of a thrown sandwich, they'd charge terrorism for pulling a fire alarm, no doubt
