    Sideloading isn’t a ticket-able offense. It’s just a name for a thing we are all within our rights to do. That’s not really comparable.

    Now “jailbreaking” is a term I definitely take issue with as the language straight up makes people question the legality.

      Originally jaywalking also wasn’t a ticketable offense. Do you know the origin of this term? That’s the parent poster’s point.

        Does sideloading incur a fine?

        Can you be arrested for it?

        If the answers are “no” and “no” then there’s no parallel with jaywalking and there’s nothing to debate.
