Unfortunately yes.

Yeah but where can anyone make you go that you don’t have a floor?

I guess you could be tortured and held up in stress positions.

It’s a good practice because you always have one nearby. One of the few things no one can ever take from you.

This is not an area of law I stay up to date on, but that did not used to be the case. Is that a rather new development?

Last I knew most courts were holding that since customers are sharing this information with third parties (sharing with their phone companies, Apple and Google, Facebook, giving everything away anyway, most individuals have waived any claim to an expectation of privacy. The right to privacy is founded upon reasonable expectations. I did hear about some pushback on that, more recently, but not from the Court of Appeals from DC, which has jurisdiction over appeals taken from federal agencies, prior to the Supreme Court. I’d be grateful to be shown otherwise. About time, if true.

Search and seizure, the Fourth Amendment, only applies to State actors. The only exception is when a private entity is acting as an agent of the government, such as in the case of private prisons.

Congress needs to pass consumer protection laws aimed at privacy in the digital age. They haven’t updated this sort of thing I believe since 1996. It used to be legal for adult video stores to disclose the tapes people rented, but Congress passed a privacy law forbidding it when some journalists disclosed some of their rentals. The scandal had some cool name. I forgot what.

Very well. The other night was at a fall festival and they had some carnys pushing carts filled with toys and balloons, you know, plastic swords, plastic guns, snaps, stink bombs, and blow up guitars, etc., and they all had a bunch of flags for sale, including, at the very top, a bunch of made in China trump shit.

I saw one carney, who was black, and he did not have trump shit. So when it was time to let the kiddo pick a toy or something, I said he could buy from that carney. And I struck up a convo by offering that it was his lack of Trump shit that got him this sale; an important thing, I think, to tell retailers of this sort. We dapped it up for a second and he was looked at me like, “come the fuck on, obviously there’s no trump shit on my cart.” He said one of the other Carneys told him how much more money he could make, and how he asked the other guy back, “man, are you fucking stupid?” Nice guy.

The fight you’re looking for is one you need to have with yourself.

Agree. Could see neowise with the naked eye.

Maybe it’s just the location of the comet in relation to the sun?

This one is like washed out until right after sunset and then it’s gone past the horizon a few minutes later.

Can anyone explain how this is the comet of the century?

Halley’s comet happens every century. That’s the baseline.

Dropped every one of them. Gd.

Can I sell you on buying a second hammer? I assume the emergency in this situation is that you have lost your first hammer.

He said viking funeral not hibachi funeral.

This should be the new gaming copy pasta. I applaud your rational introspection, and solid writing.

When I used to work in a prosecutor’s office, in a situation like this where the person has a clean record and comes in for an expired license, as long as you renewed the license before your court date, we would just dismiss the charges. As long as your respectful of court and the process. Dress well. If court opens at 9:00 a.m., get there at 8:30 a.m.

You will see defense attorneys milling about. You could ask one of them where to go to talk to a prosecutor. Usually prosecutors would start calling cases at the 8:30 a.m. to make deals and see what defenses people are going to raise before the judge began calling the docket.

Just talk about how squeaky clean your record is and how you didn’t know your license was expired, how you went and got it renewed as soon as you found out, and you’d appreciate it if they’d dropped on your promise never to meet again.

I assume this is not for a trial appearance. This is a preliminary proceeding. Procedure may be completely different in your state.

I am not your lawyer.

That is 100% the truth.

Dumbass do you realize that in 2015 they completely restructured Google specifically to avoid claims of antitrust?

What happened illegally between 2015 and now that thwarted Google’s plan?

What is this the third time I’ve agreed with you on something? See, common ground.

You’re still throwing your vote away.

Even if I accept that any state is really as solid blue as people may think, we have the opportunity as a nation to cast an overwhelming vote against fascism. That would be sending a message that the entire free world could be proud of. Nah, you can’t be bothered. You’d rather cast your vote for a Putin asset.

No, they’re just super efficient and very good at planning. They know that Joe Biden can technically still be president for another term, so they’re heading him off on his 2028 comeback run. /s

Ps hello fellow lawyer.
