You guys and your jurisdiction ignorance.

Cops generally can go after crime regardless of what jurisdiction it is in. Contrary to the silly movies you think are real, there is none of this shit about not being able to cross state lines, counties or cities. They in fact do it rather regularly between GA and SC.

They may have a more difficult time handling the case if questions arise, but you're an idiot if you think a cop needs permission to do something in some parking lot in the town he's employed by. It doesn't work that way.

Any cop in GA can operate ANYWHERE in GA. An atlanta cop can drag your ass to jail in columbus if he wants to.

You really need to lay off the ignorance and tv.

If the EV owner has a child at the school, then he might very well have reasonable belief that he could use the electricity since he's technically paying for it.

EVERYONE pays for schools, not just parents. Thats why we can afford to send our kids to school because society as a whole pays for the service. So no, this jackass had no more right to steal electricity from the school than I do have the right to steal food from the cafeteria or footballs from the gym.

Wrong in every possible way.

You can not put a 40 amp breaker on a line with a 10 amp outlet. It is illegal and dangerous. Normal outlets, are 10 amp outlets. $100 says you've never used an outlet capable of carrying 40 amps other than your washer/drawer/stove. My shitty 30 year old fridge is a 30amp. I doubt you could point one out in a line up without me telling you first.

Sure, you can physically do it, if your a moron too stupid to be playing around in the electrical box in the first place. You'll probably be electrocuted due to your own stupidity pretty quickly with that kind of ignorance.

A 10 amp breaker will easily blow at 8 if its got any age on it, they are designed to failSAFE not carry more than intended. Yes, they may be slow acting, but you are pushing a 10 amp breaker if you put a continuous 8amp draw on it. Its perfectly within spec, but safety margins are going to cause it to blow sooner rather than later.

Outlets have to match breakers.

A 50, 30, 20 and 10 amp outlet ALL look different. Only the a plug designed for a 10 amp outlet can be plugged into a 20 amp outlet, all others are intentionally incompatible with each other. You can not plug a 40 amp plug into a 30 amp outlet, or a 30 amp plug into 20 or 10 amp outlet. You can't even plug a 20 amp plug into a 10 amp outlet. They are designed to keep morons like you from burning your houses down because you're dumb ass does something like swap out a breaker. With a 40 amp breaker, you would be using a 50 amp outlet as there isn't a 40 amp outlet.

No it doesn't. You utterly fail to understand what the octane rating means. The engine in your saturn would in no way benefit from the higher octane rating. It could in fact run without noticing a problem with a significantly lower octane rating. Octane ratings matter in high compression engines or turbo/supercharged engines, not in econobox.
