Signing a (useless) statement
OK, it's almost the 4th of July.
Here in Ohio, it is illegal for individuals to set off fireworks.
People from here ordinarily go to neighboring Indiana to buy fireworks.
Fireworks can be purchased in Ohio but you have to sign a statement that you will not set them off. Now, do you really believe the person handing you that statement for your signature really thinks you won't shoot off any fireworks? Do you think the person signing it really intends to refrain from shooting off those fireworks? No, it's a little formality, a little game, a little joke, to meet a legal requirement to have a signed piece of paper.
Sound like another piece of paper called "The Affirmation Statement"?
(that's one of the more charitable things it has been called)

It is something you sign so they can get you on it later if they catch you doing differently than you stated.

Re: Signing a (useless) statement
Why in the world would you buy fireworks in you didn't intend to shoot them ?
It is like ok,if your kids shoot them since they didn't buy them ?

Re: Signing a (useless) statement
Is that what is meant by doublespeak / double talk?

Just like the "affirmation statement", this statement releases guilt of possible harm from the business/organization to the client. The business can't be held liable if you sign that you will not set the fireworks off.
