Becoming an offender can happen to many of us quite easily.

Legal capacity is the ability to acquire various rights or obligations through one's own actions. To a limited extent, children also have it, but it is acquired in its full extent upon reaching the age of majority.

If we get a craving for a film from a judicial or legal environment, we will probably reach for the American cinema. The Czech one does not offer a wide repertoire. But if American films are our only source of information about how a court hearing is conducted, we may get a rather distorted idea of it.
