Click on the link to read more  https://informationispowah.blogspot.com/2023/04/can-you-be-arrested-for-not-reporting.html WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? THE LAW SAYS. In criminal law, there are three main ways that a person can be held responsible for committing a criminal offence. The first way is by actively doing something that the law considers to be illegal. The second way is by doing something to help someone commit a crime, such as leaving the window or backdoor to the bank open so it can be used. The third way is by helping the person to plan and encouraging them to go through with it, such as fixing weaknesses in their robbery plan. Any of these will attract the same offence as the person who committed the crime. However, after the crime has been committed, if you know that someone has committed a crime and you help that person not to get caught, you will be called an “accessory after the fact” to the crime, which means they are

One of his friends told him that social media was where the soulmate would be waiting. So, he joined Tinder, Instagram, plus all the dating apps. On one of those apps, he found ‘Gloria-B3’, and she told him that B3 meant ‘Birungi Black Beauty’. They started dating online, and after four months, Sebana was truly in love until he met her.

#we_inform_the_uninformed . Read more in this link. “WAYATA”  “Kyomutungi wayata”(you are such a loss)! Kyomu has heard these words repeatedly since she announced to her family that she would raise her two children alone after her boyfriend abandoned her. Her boyfriend, Aine, has been beating her since she started dating him. After she got pregnant, she hoped that the beating would stop, but it only got wors.

Martin and Miriam were used to sleeping by 7:30 p.m. at home before they joined boarding school. So when their parents decided to send them to the same boarding school, they immediately came up with a plan to ‘dodge’ both morning and night prep. On Friday evening, Mr Kakuru, their prep master, caught them chilling in the Chemistry laboratory block. When they saw Mr Kakuru, Martin told him that he was just helping Miriam memorize the day’s biology lesson. Since Mr Kakuru hadn’t taught them that day, he punished them for lying and dodging prep. Martin received five hot strokes lying, and Mr. Kakuru told him to slash his compound the next morning for dodging prep. He then told Miriam that she could go back to class and think about her life. This was to be her punishment and not to allow these young boys to deceive her because she was a nice young girl. Was this fair? Wha

#we_inform_the_uninformed . Click here to read more. CCTV footage is not entirely private. This is because it takes video footage from outside the house of a person for security purposes. So if you opt to rent in a place that has CCTV cameras, it means that you consent to having footage of yourself recorded when you are either in the compound or on the premises. However, this does not take away a person’s right to privacy and their private information. The law (the Data Protection and Privacy Act) says that each of us is entitled to keep our personal information private unless we allow someone else to use it for a particular purpose. CCTV footage is personal data and should be treated as such. The owner of the CCTV system (the landlady) has a legal obligation to ensure that the footage is collected and processed for only the security purpose she put it up for, not to catch ‘cheaters’. Georgina could sue the landlady for giving Geoffrey access to the footage without her consent or for f
