2019-05-22 at 6 PM UTCbut if it's like pretty obvious but it was just never said? like if some negro came up to you and was like "yo i got 3 brand new iphones and 2 laptops for $120 each" and you bought a couple could the fedz kick your door down

In reality that almost never happens and obviously stolen goods are sold openly in public markets all the time. -

Technically yes. You could fight it, and I've seen people win, but the DA's argument would be the obvious to-good-to-be-true deal.

To contrast this I've seen two people get busted for receiving stolen property despite legitimately thinking it was clean. One was for having a guitar that he paid a standard price for, and the other was a guy who actually got OVERCHARGED for a stereo.
I think the first guy wasn't even the first one to buy it after it was stolen. If I recall he was the 3rd one to own it.
The second guy should have just spend the extra $10 and got it at a store tho -
2019-05-22 at 6:54 PM UTCi guess guilt by association. I had a friend that went to federal prison for a bit because the judge said something like "you would of done it had you the ability to do it!" kinda fucked up

I've seen that shit a lot up here. They'll say shit like "This is what you have to look forward to if you keep breaking the law!" when all it does is get them comfortable with a little time behind bars.
Like, I was honestly scared the first time I went to jail, but after the first day I saw it isn't shit and didn't give a fuck if I got arrested.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

my friend went to prison for 10 years.. i mean i guess some people consider that a little time.. and it was over fucking weed. -
2019-05-22 at 7:08 PM UTCOG This is a hell of a good question. Hopefully this will clear up some stuff for all of us.

2019-05-22 at 7:08 PM UTCI know someone's swollen goods should be illegal.

The deep South is Totally whacked with their drug laws. That's why I would never live in a red state. Religious conservatism at its worst. Go to prison for 5 years for an ounce of weed... but u can bring a shotgun anywhere, Basically without a license. Smh... -
2019-05-22 at 7:11 PM UTCWellHung, I feel like most of us have a pretty good handle on the subject. I think a good rule to go by would be to always get a bill of sale or some sort of receipt with the sellers information on it so in the event the property was stolen you could 100% prove you didn't steal it.
Otherwise take the risk and hope for the best. Obviously none of us have paper trails on where things we have came from, but personally if it's over a couple hundred bucks I'm going to get something saying I bought it to cover my ass.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Sounds like a hell of a good idea to me. I think I'll follow your lead. Good input.👍 -
2019-05-22 at 7:45 PM UTCThe law is bullshit...the burden of proof should be on the law to prove that you knowingly purchased it while it was stolen... In my not so humble opinion.
