Question

Trying to win an argument over my dad making me clean my room, helpppp.

If you commit a crime and it becomes illegal after u commit it, ex post facto, then can you continue to do that crime since u were already doing it?

Answer 1

Hello, this is a great question to ask!

First lets look into what is considered a crime. Crimes are acts done by individuals that are illegal at that time and date.

A great example of this is was the Prohibition Era, before this Era the selling of alcohol was Legal, but after the act was passed it became Illegal to sell and manufacture alcohol. This is why many began bootlegging alcohol.

So no, you cannot continue to do a crime after it has become illegal.

Answer 2

no you cant because it is illegal now. if somethings illegal after you already commited that crime.. you can't do it again otherwise you'll face the consequences like time in jail or something like that
