LOL!!!!!! You are not serious??????
I am an LEO in North Carolina, so I can only speak for the law in North Carolina, but we have several Common Law offenses that we arrest people for everyday.
North Carolina General Statute: § 4-1. Common law declared to be in force.
Statute text
All such parts of the common law as were heretofore in force and use within this State, or so much of the common law as is not destructive of, or repugnant to, or inconsistent with, the freedom and independence of this State and the form of government therein established, and which has not been otherwise provided for in whole or in part, not abrogated, repealed, or become obsolete, are hereby declared to be in full force within this State. History
(1715, c. 5, ss. 2, 3, P.R.; 1778, c. 133, P.R.; R.C., c. 22; Code, s. 641; Rev., s. 932; C.S., s. 970.)
For a few examples of Common Law offenses that we enforce:
§ 14-87.1. Punishment for common-law robbery.
Statute text
Robbery as defined at common law, other than robbery with a firearm or other dangerous weapon as defined by G.S. 14-87, shall be punishable as a Class G felony.
(Notice there is no laid out definition of Common Law Robbery, the reason for that is that the elements of the crime are drawn from Common Law.) (Common Law Robbery is Robbery without a weapon, where force or intimidation is used in order effect the Robbery.) IE: Strongarmed Robbery.
NCGS § 14-177. Crime against nature.
Statute text
If any person shall commit the crime against nature, with mankind or beast, he shall be punished as a Class I felon.
(25 Hen. VIII, c. 6; 5 Eliz., c. 17; R.C., c. 34, s. 6; 1868-9, c. 167, s. 6; Code, s. 1010; Rev., s. 3349; C.S., s. 4336; 1965, c. 621, s. 4; 1979, c. 760, s. 5; 1979, 2nd Sess., c. 1316, s. 47; 1981, c. 63, s. 1; c. 179, s. 14; 1993, c. 539, s. 1191; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c).)
(Notice Again, Crime Against Nature is a Common Law Definition, the Statute doesn't have a definition for what falls into this crime, The Statute only proscribes the punishment for breaking the Common Law Offense.)
A few other Common Law offenses are Going Armed to the Terror of the Populace.
By common law in North Carolina, it is unlawful for a person to arm himself with any unusual and dangerous weapon, for the purpose of terrifying others, and go about on public highways in a manner to cause terror to others.
I am amazed at the utter lack of sense that you idiot libertarians have.
If you think the Common Law is not in effect here in North Carolina, I invite you to come and break the Common Law, Let's see where you end up.
I am sure that other states also still enforce Common Law.
Tell me, where did you get the impression that Common Law was not in force in the United States.
Did your Marxist Friends tell you that?
I don't Know about KALIFORNIA, but Common Law is alive and Well In North Carolina.
My dear genius LEO from North Carolina:I am amazed at the utter lack of sense that you idiot libertarians have.Do you even read your own posts? You don't enforce common law. You enforce statutory law, which comes from common law that was codified into statutes by your legislature. You should've realized this when you wrote "North Carolina General Statute: § 4-1. Common law declared to be in force" . . . or did you simply not see the word "statute" there?
Definition of Common Law: COMMON LAW. As distinguished from law created by the enactment of legislatures, the common law comprises the body of these principles and rules of action, relating to the government and security of persons and property, which derive their authority solely from usage's and customs of immemorial antiquity, or from the judgments and decrees of the courts recognizing, affirming, and enforcing such usage's and customs; and, in this sense, particularly the ancient unwritten law of England. The "common law" is all the statutory and case law background of England and the American colonies before the American revolution. People v. Rehman, 253 C.A. 2d 119, 61 Cal. Rptr. 65, 85. "Common law" consists of those principles, usage and rules of action applicable to government and security of persons and property which do not rest for their authority upon any express and positive declaration of the will of the legislature. Bishop v. U.S., D.C. Tex., 334, F. Supp. 415, 418. (from Black's).
Another: common law n. the traditional unwritten law of England, based on custom and usage, which began to develop over a thousand years before the founding of the United States. The best of the pre-Saxon compendiums of the common law was reportedly written by a woman, Queen Martia, wife of a king of a small English kingdom. Together with a book on the "law of the monarchy" by a Duke of Cornwall, Queen Martia's work was translated into the emerging English language by King Alfred (849-899 A.D.). When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, he combined the best of this Anglo-Saxon law with Norman law, which resulted in the English common law, much of which was by custom and precedent rather than by written code. By the 14th century legal decisions and commentaries on the common law began providing precedents for the courts and lawyers to follow. It did not include the so-called law of equity (chancery), which came from the royal power to order or prohibit specific acts. The common law became the basic law of most states due to the Commentaries on the Laws of England, completed by Sir William Blackstone in 1769, which became every American lawyer's bible. Today almost all common law has been enacted into statutes with modern variations by all the states except Louisiana, which is still influenced by the Napoleonic Code. In some states the principles of Common Law are so basic they are applied without reference to statute.
If you think the Common Law is not in effect here in North Carolina, I invite you to come and break the Common Law, Let's see where you end up.
I hope the other LEOs in NC aren't as pig-ignorant as you are.
