Let's say that you've been involved in a self-defense situation. A person, or two, happens to die as a result.
You stand a very real chance of being raked over the coals from a criminal investigation standpoint...
And then the very real chance of being bent over a barrel from a civil standpoint...
Could your self defense trainer's social media posts/footprint help you or in a court of law? Civil court?
Note: As of this very instant, I do not know the status of Indiana's legislation/pending legislation that prohibits civil lawsuits should there be no criminal lawsuit.
So - pretend you are being prosecuted because reasons. And, therefore, pretend that you're also being sued by the estate, or estates of the deceased.
During myriad investigations and depositions, it comes to light that you've had more than one self defense course. Those companies / persons are so named. Those companies' social media footprints are then combed over.
Would anything in that social media foot print hurt you... Or would it help you?
