Question

Ulian fishes lobsters but also steals them out of other people's traps. Maine requires fishermen to purchase a lobster fishing license or face fine and imprisonment. Julian does not have a license. True or False: Julian may face civil or criminal law.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Julian may face both civil and criminal charges due to fishing without a license and stealing lobsters from other people's traps, as required under Maine state law.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks whether Julian, who fishes lobsters illegally and also steals them from other people's traps, may face civil or criminal law. The correct answer is True. Maine requires a lobster fishing license and not having one constitutes a violation of state law.

Additionally, stealing lobsters from other people's traps not only violates fishing regulations but could also constitute theft, which is a criminal offense. Both actions could carry consequences ranging from fines to imprisonment.
