Ive removed the link to tort. I do not think this is a criminal law topic. Black's Law Dictionary says it is only civil. While the etymology of the word comes from Law French, it is used to describe a civil wrong. Please, correct me if I am wrong. Alex756 03:57 May 4, 2003 (UTC)

You aren't wrong. Wearing my extreme legal historian hat I can see a connection in that almost all of the current law of tort is really trespass wearing one guise or another. Trespass itself grew out of a criminal procedure, hence its focus (and the later common law of tort's focus) on wrong and damages. The "really" in my second sentence goes back as far as the 13th Century, so classifying tort as a crime, must be wrong now. Francis Davey 23:43, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The criminal justice system is very gay and needs to die! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.227.250 (talk) 23:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criminal justice gay and needs to die?

I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe that you would be saying that when you find yourself in need of the law enforcement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nomander (talk • contribs) 18:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
