You are arguing using a fallacy, you have already lost.Are you serious? Is paying a bill late a crime? Is failing to complete a project on time a crime? Do Uniform Crime Report statistics include civil cases?
Oxford English Dictionary: "Crime: an action or omission that constitutes an offense prosecuted by the state and is punishable by law..."
Cornell Law: "Crimes are prosecuted by government attorneys. Such attorneys may represent a city, county, state, or the federal government."
The Law Dictionary: "A crime is an act committed or omitted, in violation of a public law, either forbidding or commanding it; a breach or violation of some public right or duty due to a whole community, considered as a community. In its social aggregate capacity, as distinguished from a civil injury. Wilkins v. U. S...."
All Law: "Crimes generally represent conduct that causes a public harm to society as a whole and goes beyond injuries to private parties. For instance, a breach of contract primarily affects the parties to the contract (and is a civil action), but criminal acts—like murder, impaired driving, or theft—cause injury and harm to [society.]
Criminal law differs from civil law in other respects, as well. For instance, a government lawyer (called a prosecutor) brings criminal charges against the accused, usually on behalf of the state or federal government. In contrast, a private lawyer files a civil lawsuit to resolve a dispute between private parties...."
And yes, failing to pay a bill can result in fines or inprisonment. Do you know why? Think about it for a minute. Get off your Google and use your brain to think why that is. I want you to come up with the answer all on your own.
Civil crimes are crimes. You can't word salad your way out of it.
I won't be replying back to you anymore. You think you know everything so you argue with everyone. I know your type. The amount of times you have strawmanned an argument, talked down to people and the way you present yourself is not someone I choose to engage with anymore.
Enjoy yourself!
