    you dont have to go to court or be prosecuted to commit a crime, just break the law. That would make you a criminal in relation to the poll tax (and me in relation to the HHC)

    Nope - you need to be issued a court summons to be bumped up from a civil proceeding to a criminal one.

    dunno bout that Al. just says may be prosecuted by the state, nothing about issuing summons.
    i'd consider a burglar a criminal whether he was caught or not.

    crime

    /krīm/
    Noun
    • An action or omission that constitutes an offense that may be prosecuted by the state and is punishable by law.
    • Illegal activities: "the victims of crime".

    And as the poll tax. I was there and refused to pay. To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen - This is no poll tax.

    Try some local references rather than a dictionary?

    Only because the tax you refused to pay was defeated, and you can see no irony in that. Enough said.

    Thread had gone way off topic and descended to the usual level of the previous incarnations.
