Just asking


Here's the answer...

BTW I had to legally conceal it from everyone else.

What does BTW mean ??

It means By The Way.

Why would it be illegal?...unless you were concealing something illegal that is.

That would be my thought as well - as long as the thing you're concealing isn't illegal itself, then concealing it shouldn't be either.

The only concern might be building or safety codes - ie. concealing a breaker panel shouldn't be done TOO well, in case, for example, a fire crew needs to find it. Moving walls, of course, can't compromise the structure of a building and building codes may come into play.

Before you retired how much was it to conceal a portrait of an ex mother-in -law? I suspect there are lots of guys that would pay big money to be able to push a button and have their mother-in -law disappear (her picture only of course).

Even then, the concealment itself isn't illegal.

Depends on the purpose. If it is for fraud or other illegal activity, then probably yes. But on its own, no. A house is a "concealment service" preventing outsiders from seeing you parade around in the nude after your bath. In that case NOT concealing is illegal.

I would suggest that as long as you dont know what the person your doing the work for will be hiding, no problem. But if some one asks for hiding place for " a kilo of xyz" you would be considered an accomplish in the handling of bad things....

I did this type of handy man stuff when I was in high school for friends, very lucrative and lots of fun as well.... Its like knowing a secret... there is also a great old book on how to do it, with lots of ideas... email me off list and I will give you the name...

You mean hiding kilos of xyz? I thought xyz was legalized

My God!! Think of what you are saying, are you trying to break this economy completely? Legal Pot may be good for selfish you but look at the hardships it will cause. What happens to the hard working illegal families that bring it into the country? What about all the police massive layoffs? Not only will this guys lose the tax free payoffs but with limited skills they will be forced to take jobs at Wal Mart as security people that check bags. Here is the meat of why Pot will never be legal ... the Lawyers. How in the hell are these guys (Prosecution-Defense) going to make a living? Cops will be delegated to arresting Jaywalkers just so they (lawyers) have something to do. The Prison system will have to sell most of it's prison's and fire the guards. You might say " lets make condo's from the prisons" ... but if you said that, now I am convinced you are a subversive because , don't you know a housing Glut exists? And your idea of condo's will just drive the price of poor peoples houses down more. The politicians learned a lesson from prohibition. They lost most of their income once booze was made legal .. I don't think they will ever do that again

You get your dope from illegals? Tsk, tsk.

Illegal or legal cops?

I disagree. They can all take early retirement to become professional alarm installers. The public will be confident, knowing that someone with a lifetime of experience responding to false alarms is now designing alarm systems which will also false every other day.

Same as now -- bribery, fraud, etc.

The guards will then become alarm dealers. Inmates will get jobs as consultants to companies looking to reduce shrinkage and shoplifting.

Or vice versa. :^)

If anyone ever wanted to experience dope, they'd just have to be introduced to you. Err ..... that is ......before you die ....
