| Apr 2, 2023 at 3:57 | comment | added | user49663 | off topic but what makes something reasonable in this context ? | |
| Apr 2, 2023 at 3:48 | comment | added | user49663 | why not ? I think there are jurisidictions (UK) that extend right against self incrimination to even right against self incrimination of relatives | |
| Apr 2, 2023 at 3:45 | comment | added | Dale M♦ | An offender being your relative is not an excuse, let alone a reasonable one. | |
| Apr 2, 2023 at 3:43 | comment | added | user49663 | correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't reasonable excuse also include things like mistake of fact or other circumstances (like an offender being related to the person) | |
| Apr 2, 2023 at 3:39 | comment | added | Dale M♦ | @IndianLawDropout there’s the “reasonable excuse” defence but that’s more along the lines of “I knew you already knew”. | |
