Mine go wide open with no switch and it says 105 KPH when plugged in to. LOL.
Can be done on any engine with nothing more than plugging in and setting parameters. -
In the US that sort of thing would be prohibited by the 5th Amendment. Other countries do not place the same limits on government.
-
I’m pretty sure there are appellate and supreme courts in the USA
-
There are, but once a court says "not guilty", it's nearly impossible for the government to appeal and retry the case. If you're found "guilty", you can appeal...but not the other way around.Run Smart, magoo68, gokiddogo and 1 other person Thank this.
-
I see. Here, either side can appeal on the grounds that there was an error made during the trial (judge mistakenly allowed or disallowed evidence to be heard etc etc).Run Smart Thanks this.

"...nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb;"
The government is only allowed to try the case once. If the government screws up at any level (cops, prosecutors, judges, etc...) and the accused benefits from that screw up, tough cookies. If the screw up harmed the accused, the accused can appeal. -
There was a movie a few years back called double jeopardy.
It was purely fictional but the concept was very interesting.
It went like this.
A husband fakes his death and his wife is accused and convicted of his death.
The wife serves time for the crime and then gets out and discovers the husband is still alive.
Because of the double jeopardy rule she now Can kill her husband and the government can not convict her because she was already tried and convicted of his murder once already.rank Thanks this. -
So the only cases that reach the US Appellate and Supreme Courts are cases that were lost by the accused?
-
If it's a criminal trial, yes. If it's a civil trial where the government is the defendant, then either side may appeal.Run Smart Thanks this.
