In this edition: creative sentencing, meddling agents, the Code of Hammurabi, and a very, very bad idea.

In this edition (among other things): the law of unintended consequences again; Chuck Norris litigates, for once; and why some contracts may need a “no-sex clause.”

In this edition: an update on canoeing under the influence, an update on hooting laws, an update on Michael Grimm, and a “field test” for drugs that had trouble distinguishing between meth and donut frosting.

In this edition: somebody stole several tons of Nutella, China banned “weird” company names, Taylor Swift crushed it on the witness stand, and there was a biscuit-infringement case. Also, spam.

In this edition: snakes, scorpions, and Shkrelis, among other things.

In this edition: an officer-involved proposal, another reason to read “terms & conditions” carefully, the right to bear machetes in New Jersey, dead rivers, and goat yoga, among other things.

In this edition: an unwise extortionist, Oklahoma fixes its “mistake,” how to commit a crime and still win an election, and an arrest warrant turns up the heat on Bikram Choudhury.

In this edition: be on the lookout for orange fingers; the difference between accidental and intentional; police piling on; and a victory for the rule of law (involving traffic cameras, but it’s a start).
