This is why, in matters of law, you should consult a lawyer.

Stuff you remember from TV is not the law.

Half-remembered Slashdot debates are not the law.

The law is the law. It varies from place to place and from year to year. It is large, complicated and subtle because it covers everything humans do, which is a large, complicated and subtle problem domain.

Seriously. If you have a legal question: see a freaking lawyer. A few hundred bucks to change the entire course of your life is a bargain. It's less than some plumbers.
