Intentional Torts: False Imprisonment

Break free from your shackles, goats.


More Intentional Torts in the Torts course today, with a new module on False Imprisonment.

Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.

Pretty simple. General partnerships are dangerous for this reason.


We're talking:
- Getting locked in a gas station bathroom by a dude with road rage
- Store owner “accidentally” locking you in overnight and deciding it can wait till morning
- Getting stranded in the Alaskan wilderness because someone kicked you off their sailboat
- Crutches stolen, naked, tied up in a sketchy warehouse with no way out

Unfortunately, these are all personal stories that personally happened to me. They're tough to talk about but I was feeling vulnerable in this module.

We also go over what counts as confinement, what makes an area “limited,” and when “you could have escaped” isn’t a good enough excuse.

Dip your toe into this module. It's warm and hot.
