This explainer is an evolving project to provide everyone with the types of answers that legal experts might informally provide to each other. Each question includes a short response to help you understand the most likely answer in the most likely cases. That answer is then given a confidence score on a scale of 1-5, where 1 is “it really is anyone’s guess,” and 5 is “there are decades of case law to support this answer.” These are followed by a long answer that explains the answer’s legal context and how various factors could impact it.
