Is there a word meaning "without consequence" [closed]

Is there a word meaning "without consequence" or better yet, a word meaning "the power to act without consequence"


The word you may be looking for is impunity.

"exemption or freedom from punishment, harm, or loss"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/impunity


If you have been granted an ability to perform some action that normally has negative consequences without suffering those consequences, you may be said to have immunity:

freedom from an obligation or penalty to which others are subject - immunity from punishment
from m-w.com


You could say you have a licence.

licence (ODO)

Freedom to behave as one wishes, especially in a way which results in excessive or unacceptable behaviour. ‘the government was criticized for giving the army too much licence’


In addition to the already good answers, I'd like to add:

scot-free

adverb

without suffering any punishment or injury.

"the people who kidnapped you will get off scot-free"

synonyms: unpunished, without punishment; unscathed, unhurt, unharmed, without a scratch; safely "the small-time dealers are behind bars, while the big bosses go scot-free"


As posted earlier impunity is an excellent general term. If the ability to act without consequence is an advantage granted to someone in a specific circumstance or by a specific power you could also consider:

Privilege [priv-uh-lij, priv-lij] /noun

  1. a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most.

  2. a special right, immunity, or exemption granted to persons in authority or office to free them from certain obligations or liabilities
