Answers:
No, you will be a hero and be respected by the citizens .
can you sell me some?
no - i would say thats perfectly legal
No, this is what a lot of good solicitors and QC's do.
They don't look to prove their client innocent, just that the law hasn't been applied correctly.
The more times this happens, the better the Police and CPS will get at adhereing strictly to the law and the better the quality of the law's passed by Government in the first place.
If you are jailed or sued, at least you'll find a loophole to get away with it!
I'm not sure. Is there a law against it? If there is, don't you have a loophole?
u shouldn't be! Well done for loop holes!
Your are giving people factual legal information the same as a solicitor would. I can't see how this would be illegal. whether it is moral is another question entirely.
not for selling the information itself (unless it is copyrighted by someone else ), as you are not encouraging others to break the law. if anything, the lawmakers should look into your advice (if it is worthwhile) and use it to improve the laws, and hence, the lives of those it affects. The information you sell must be open source (available to the common person in the open domain). In other words, if it is priviledged or classified information for use in an official capacity, you can be jailed for illegal disclosure. if your advice results in people being hurt (physically, emotionally, or financially), you could be sued.
Yes, if the information was gained from being in a privileged position. ie Police force. You could be in breach of The Official Secrets Act.
it would depends on how and where you obtained the information from.
I was all for helping you till I read what information you were selling.
You can take a running jump now.
You can publish anything you like as long as you don't recruit people to do illegal acts.
No the law is the law and if it is so badly drafted that there are loopholes then so be it. You have found them and you can tell whi you wish in any manner you wish. it is up to Paliament to close the loopholes. The authorities will try to bite back if they can and you have only to see the "Mr" Loohole case" to know what the authorities wiil try to do.If you make things uncomfortable for them
You are following the letter of the law so the fact that these people are following this advice is fine, the only possible problem I can see is that UK law doesnt allow you to sell legal advice unless you are a lawyer.
Not sure about that one. Go to citizens advice. They will know.
All laws in the UK are printed and held under Crown Copyright by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
Yes, you could be sued for selling the information without a licence. Nothing to stop you giving it away though.
