Other nations have laws requiring reporting and rescue of others, if can be done safely. Time for US to pass such laws

Posted on | September 16, 2025 | 2 Comments

Nations with a Duty to Rescue Several countries, primarily in civil law jurisdictions, impose a legal obligation on individuals to provide reasonable assistance to strangers in peril—such as calling emergency services or offering direct aid—provided it can be done safely (without endangering oneself or others) and competently (acting with reasonable care). Failure to do so can result in fines or criminal penalties, though enforcement is rare. Common law countries like the US and UK generally lack this general duty, except in specific cases (e.g., pre-existing relationships or professional roles). Below is a list of key nations with such laws, drawn from legal analyses and international comparisons.

    This is the reason we are in the mess we are right now world wide, politicians making decisions without consulting the people they are supposed to represent, it’s citizens. So, if your dog poops in my backyard let me request assylum because I feel oppressed by my neighbor ragging on me about my dog. If your husband abuse you, let me go and apply for assylum because I feel oppressed and I’m suppossed to be alright with it and can’t complain? Hell no! We don’t need more laws! As a matter of fact, I feel oppressed because all of these laws, so, which country is willing to take me in and give me all the free stuff I need to survive?

    Can you see the pattern here? The more countries that get in the bandwagon, sooner or later we will have one world organization running the whole planet and if you don’t agree, who’s going to come to the rescue?
