What is the legality of answering a question like "How do I hotwire my car, HELP!" I'd like to help, but it seems to me like giving out burglar's and car thief's tips.

What if the starter motor is broken and you just want to get your car to a repair shop? What if your key broke in the ignition and it's stuck? I think there are legitimate reasons for knowing how to hot wire a car! :) But maybe I am being naive here! :(

As long as you have proof that you are unaware of the intentions of the individual or persons you gave the information too you are ok. If the person or persons tell authorities that he learned to do a criminal act from you you could be found as a co conspiriter. In the long run its best not to even give it. If the person steals a car and gets caught you'll probably never hear about it. If they person hot wires a car and kills the person who owns the car your screwed if it gets back to you.

You are correct. This is like a bar selling alcohol to a drunk. he leaves the bar, gets behind the wheel and kills innocent people. Is the bar partially responsible for this situation by selling a drunk alcohol? Yes. both civil and criminal The same could apply by giving a person information on how to "hot wire" and automobile. You would need proof and telling the world on Answerbag is definite proof in court.

Yea, I'd refrain from posting such info on the net.
-
I would be wary of doing such, how often does someone legitimately need to know how to do such things? They can easily call a repair shop, or a roadside assistance in such situations.
-
This is perfectly legal as long as you are not part of a conspiracy to commit auto theft.

I can build a bomb, but I will not tell a stranger how to build one unless I am face to face and have two confirmations that I know that say that the person needs that information.
-
It is not only the questioner who would see your answer but thousands of others, I would not give out this sort of info. + :o)

"Answerbag has a disclaimer releasing it from liability. Do you think about the possiblity of being sued before you respond to questions regarding health, suicide, legal matters or even repair work that could cause damage to an expensive item?" My question last month. You're getting better answers than I did.
