rp: extra information Local Laws

[Aura]

Black City is located in northwestern Florida. As a result, US and Florida State Laws are in effect. For the purposes relevant to this roleplay, this means:

• You have to be at least 16 years old to have a drivers' license. At 15, you may have a Learner's Permit which allows one to drive only if there is an adult (18+ years old) with a valid drivers' license in the passenger seat.
• The age of consent is 18.
• You have to be 21 to buy or consume alcohol. Between 18-21, you may have alcohol in small doses if a parent/guardian offers it at home.
• Firearms such as pistols and hunting rifles are easily obtainable from a local gun store as long as you're 18+.
• You must be 18+ to purchase items from a sex store.

Of course, keep in mind, these are all with respect to what is legal. You can still break the law and, in specific cases, the law isn't going to care. For example, an 18 year-old can't technically have legal sex with a 17-year-old the week before her 18th birthday, but I doubt such a case would be taken very seriously. 

If there are any questions about the law, please ask me about them or look up the legality of the action in question yourself! (Keep in mind that that some crimes are federal law while others differ by state). I will update this list with the answers to any questions that consistently show up.
