ToxicSlurpee posted:I'm reasonably certain (note that I am not a lawyer) that you can be compelled to show up in court, in front of a grand jury, or in front of Congress but they can't compel you to incriminate yourself. I think that was why Skreli's lawyer told him to do that; refusing to show up would have been a bad idea but he could just go up and say "Fifth Amendment" over and over again. If you’re being questioned by the government about something that could potentially incriminate you, you have full right to plead the Fifth any time there’s no emergency (like someone in danger if you don’t answer). But you need to actually invoke this right specifically. If you just stay silent without invoking your right, your silence can be used against you. Some other exceptions to that: 1. If you volunteer information without waiting for a question to be asked or after pleading the Fifth, that’s always evidence. 2. You can’t plead the Fifth after partially answering something or volunteering information. You can be compelled to continue answering that line of questioning. 3. The Fifth doesn’t protect against documents being demanded, and you can’t plead to protect a different person from incrimination. 4. If you’re granted immunity, the Fifth Amendment no longer applies and you can actually be held in contempt for refusing to answer after being immunized from prosecution. This is why granting immunity is used to force small fry to give up information on their bosses.

If you’re granted immunity from prosecution for your testimony, that last factor no longer exists (because you can no longer be charged) and thus you lose your Fifth Amendment rights to remain silent.

I don't get why they don't start swinging at the guys arm with *something*. Bound to be a hammer or a broom or something they can use to discourage the guy. poo poo, pour hot coffee on him.

And if that's a fast food place I doubt their healthcare is great for knife(or whatever that is) wounds. The place might even have a policy not to interfere with robberies, like big box stores that just hand it to police

Trying to stop a robbery puts you at more of a risk than just letting it happen, and stores would pay more than they lost in a register or from stolen goods than they would in paying out someone who got hurt trying to protect that stuff, and more than likely bystanders who also got hurt. So most places have a policy of "Just let them take the stuff so they leave."

The money is replaceable, you aren't (until we find out you weren't dropping enough money in the drop safe, in which case you're fired).

The money is also probably insured if it's properly locked in the safe. The employees probably aren't insured. From a more cynical point of view it doesn't take much effort to clean up after a guy makes some threats and leaves with cash, maybe damaging a counter or something along the way. A dead body and a lot of blood is a bigger, messier cleanup that can close the place for a while. There's also the PR nightmare of "oh wow I don't want to work or shop there, people get shot!"

purple death ray posted:It's more like "the money is insured, you might sue us" Ding ding ding! Companies can recover losses from robberies and burglaries in a few different ways, but probably don't have any sort of liability insurance for employees or customers that would protect them in the case of an employee actively trying to stop a robbery. There have been stories of people fired for stopping a robbery, because they were distinctly told not to, and put the company at risk of legal action if anybody had gotten hurt. Even if nobody does get hurt, the risk one creates in trying to stop a robbery is enough for disciplinary action.

The money is always insured if it has been paid and the sale has been recorded. The problem is that gunho-Rambo's will only put everyone at the store at risk, and if anything happens it will become the liability of the owner since the person causing additional damage was one of the employees.

Couple years old, still fun. A right-wing German gives a Hitler salute to antagonise a nearby antifascist demonstration. The Hitlergruß is illegal in Germany.
