Hypothetical Situation.

[JAW959]

So, hypothetically if an alien craft crashed in your back yard could the government seize it? If yes by what right could they do that?

[Ad Bot]

[Oasis]

Yes they could seize it because it does not belong to you.

[Sheath]

 
If a car crashed into your back yard, it wouldn't become yours now, would it?

[*Magick* Mage]

If a car crashed into your back yard, it wouldn't become yours now, would it?

But would it automatically be the government's? o:

[Night Fox]

Your answer's been questioned.
Now kocl.

[MegaScientifical]

Well, they'd still be moving into your property. But they could DEFINITELY declare extenuating circumstances and justly take it for examination and national security.

[zackin5]

Well yeah, It's a weather balloon owned by the government.

[indyjones]

If you own the plot of land, the Government can do nothing.
But if the bank still owns it, yes they will take it.

[MegaScientifical]

If you own the plot of land, the Government can do nothing.

You're forgetting that an alien spacecraft is something of interstellar and possibly dangerous circumstances. You imply that the alien's friends could come to take the alien home with the ship and you legally can't let them... Then the Earth gets blown up with deathrays.

Think of it like how cops can break into houses without warrants with 'reasonable suspicion.' Same way.

[devildogelite]

I think the government would do whatever the forget they want if that happened

[Port Akiva]

I think the government would do whatever the forget they want if that happened

yeahhh, you think you're going to really stop them from taking the thing.

[Jacob/Lee]

They would have all right to take it from you, no questions asked. That aircraft would probably be a major survival risk and you would be a moron if you didn't let them take it.

[IkeTheGeneric]

I would give it to them, and even ignore asking for repairs.

I mean, it would be smart to just kind of leave well enough alone.

[Solid]

i'd eat the aliens

i mean seriously how awesome would it be to tell someone you ate alien meat

[fred da kiko]
