| Feb 18, 2021 at 3:59 | comment | added | David Siegel | @Ryan, yes, your example is RSLA. But neither of the posts linked from the question are about what a person should do. bath are "A person has done (or may do) X. Is that legal?" IMO that makes a significant difference. I am not sure about the posts user forest refers to. | |
| Feb 18, 2021 at 3:53 | comment | added | Ryan M | A hypothetical question can still ask for legal advice. If one writes "Hypothetically, if Bob shot Alice, but the police haven't found the gun because he threw it in the river, what should Bob say to the police if they interview him?" that's still asking for legal advice, despite me having completely invented that situation just now. It's not a question about what the law is or how some part of the legal system works, it's a question about what a person should do. | |

Link directly to the revision under discussion, as I've now substantially edited the question and it no longer illustrates the issue

| Feb 12, 2021 at 20:47 | comment | added | David Siegel | @grovkin I intend to use this specific question as an example, but i have a more general point in mind as well. I have noticed a number of questions recently which attracted close votes for "specific legal advice" that it seemed to me did not need to be closed, in some cases after an edit. I could attempt to add links so other such questions if that would be helpful. | |
| Feb 12, 2021 at 20:34 | comment | added | grovkin | Is this a meta.law.SE question about a general abuse of this reason for closing or are you asking about this specific question on law.SE? In other words, would it be accurate to add the "specific-question" tag to this meta question? | |
