Интернет-хищники

Интернет-хищники устанавливают контакты с детьми в чатах, при обмене мгновенными сообщениями, по электронной почте или на форумах. Для решения своих проблем многие подростки обращаются за поддержкой на конференции. Злоумышленники часто сами там обитают; они стараются прельстить свою цель вниманием, заботливостью, добротой и даже подарками, нередко затрачивая на эти усилия значительное время, деньги и энергию. Обычно они хорошо осведомлены о музыкальных новинках и современных увлечениях детей. Они выслушивают проблемы подростков и сочувствуют им. Но постепенно злоумышленники вносят в беседы оттенок сексуальности или демонстрируют материалы откровенно эротического содержания, пытаясь ослабить моральные запреты, сдерживающие молодых людей.

Некоторые преступники действуют быстрее других и сразу же заводят сексуальные беседы. Такой более прямолинейный подход может включать решительные действия или скрытое преследование жертвы. Преступники могут также рассматривать возможность встречи с детьми в реальной жизни.

Color of law

Видимость наличия законного права, якобы по закону (использование служебного, или какого-либо другого, положения при аресте, обыске, конфискации и т.д.)

Color of law

Color of law refers to an appearance of legal power to act but which may actually operate in violation of law. For example, though a police officer acts with the color of law authority to arrest someone, if such an arrest is made without probable cause. the arrest may actually be in violation of law. In other words, just because something is done with the 'color of law', that does not mean that the action was actually lawful. When police act outside their lawful authority and violate the civil rights of a citizen, the FBI is tasked with investigating.

Under 'color of law', it is a crime for one or more persons using power given to him or her by a governmental agency (local, state or federal) to willfully deprive or conspire to deprive another person of any right protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. Enforcement of 'color of law' does not require that any racial, religious, or other discriminatory motive existed. Criminal acts under color of law include acts within and beyond the bounds or limits of lawful authority. Color of law may include forced vaccinations for school-aged children under threat of expulsion or placing the child's parents under arrest where no law exists to do so. Color of law may include public officials and non-governmental employees who are not law enforcement officers such as judges, prosecutors, and private security guards. Furthermore, in many states it is unlawful to falsely impersonate a police officer, a federal officer or employee, or any other public official or to use equipment used by law enforcement officers, such as flashing lights or a fake police badge. "Possession of a firearm also can enhance the penalty for false impersonation of a police officer."

Color of office

Color of office refers to an act usually committed by a public official under the appearance of authority, but which exceeds such authority.

Color of title

In property law (в имущественном праве), color of title refers to a claim to title (притязание на право собственности) which appears valid, but may be legally defective. Color of title may arise when there is evidence, suggesting valid legal title. The courts have ruled that deeds are mere color of title; the actual title to land is secured with an irrefutable instrument like a land patent, then when that land is subsequently conveyed to another owner by a deed, the deed colors the title to show the new owner. Thus, the chain of title from the land patent to the present may include many deeds, the actual title remains with the land patent and lawful deeds show the chain of title to the present landowner. Because the ownership in land is a very specific thing requiring precise and proper transfers of ownership, in times past, people always required a certified abstract be provided with a deed to insure the deed was not merely a color of title fiction. Today, title companies offer 'title insurance' to secure such documents. Still, only a proper and lawful title, like the land patent, provides actual title to land; and, only a proper and lawful chain of title (deeds, etc.) from such a patent to the present can secure land rights to the landowner.
