Wouldn't Greta get arrested?
She kept threatening Ted that she was going to go to the cops, but if she documented someone committing suicide isn't that illegal?
I know I know its a movie but its the one thing that bothered me.
Why would it be illegal to document someone committing suicide? What would be her charges?
I really don't get where you are going with it.
X ~We are the people our parents warned us about
are you serious?
why don't you look up the law and get back to us all.
Jimmy, why don't you "look up the law". How do you charge someone for something another person does?
By that account anyone watching a ledge-jumper would be charged... and with what? Not helping enough?
There is nothing criminally wrong with her documenting Ted's road to killing himself... Morally wrong, yes, but that's something different.

It's not a nationwide law, however various states carry the law of indirect assisted suicide, just one example below from the Indiana Code of Criminal Law:
A person who has knowledge that another person intends to commit or attempt to commit suicide and who intentionally does either of the following commits assisting suicide, a ... felony: provides the physical means by which the other person attempts or commits suicide (or) participates in a physical act by which the other person attempts or commits suicide."
Suck on that sugar lips. share
Sometimes the morally right thing to do is break the law. I'm not saying what I think the right choice is in this case but there are often very good reasons to ignore laws like that that and accept the consequences.

Unless this film takes place in Indiana then Indiana laws are completely irrelevant to this discussion.
So you would need to find out where the film takes place. Look up the laws and see if that is one of the states that has the "not nationwide law". And you will know if she would have been arrested if he had gone through with it and she released the video.
Also I never got the impression that she was there to film him dying. I felt like she was there to kind of talk him out of it. Which is what ended up happening.
And did you really end your post with "suck on that sugar lips"? I predict you are single (and not by choice). Is this how you act when someone challenges you to back up your claims? Can't wait to read what you call me.

Don't you love it when people make claims and then tell you to research it?
I also like that the only example of the "not nationwide law" he could find was from Indiana. Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless this film takes place in Indiana (which I don't believe it did) Indiana law is completely irrelevant to this discussion. share
