I strongly disagree that having a weapon on display is only done if there is intent to use it. In some areas of the south, open carry is quite common. It should also be noted that getting a concealed carry permit is not always that easy,

That's a good point about the risk not being in control of the officer through something like skill. Though, I don't think that changes the essence of my point, which could be summed up as diminishing returns. If we had a much h

It's important that there be jobs for people without much education This is a critical point that most people just glaze over. Actually, I would refine your statement to be "Its important that there are jobs for people on the

Yes! Exactly how I feel.

competing against others probably willing to sink more time Doesn't that kind of go towards the "who wants it more" mentality? What's wrong with that? Maybe you and someone else are equally good coders, or maybe one

I understand what you're getting at here - the request/requirement to jump through hoops. But I don't think it's unreasonable for a potential employer to want to gauge technical ability, especially given the amount of p

There is absolutely a reason to get rid of it. Net "neutrality", as currently implemented, attacks the peering arrangements that were put into the spotlight by Netflix's CEO, Reed Hastings. He famously said that ISP's

True, but the president actually has the ability to grant pre-indictment pardons based on a supreme court ruling from 1867. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/01/05/opinion/l-constitution-all... "It exten

I get what you're saying, and there is certainly a place for that. For example, just this week I saw the WaPo headlines about Trump supposedly sharing classified intelligence with Russian diplomats. Now maybe that's true. But m

WaPo sucks, as do Fox News, Breitbart, and HuffPo (among others). None of them should be taken seriously. They're all rags that have so much political slant they should be eligible for tax free status as components of their respectiv

Ah, so Uber was using Greyball in Portland before the agreement was reached? I was not aware of that. It wasn't clear from what I had read. That would definitely make a big difference. If it can be shown that their activity was ill

Looking at the legal definitions of evasion and obstruction, I don't see anything that applies, especially considering the typical use cases. Obstruction charges usually stem from providing false testimony or evidence, tampering with

What you linked to talks about Uber drivers (not Uber corporate) breaking the law. Remember, there is a clear difference. Part of Uber's agreement with drivers is that driver's must obey local laws. The drivers are responsible

by turc1656 9y ago
I believe what you said is a bit off - you can't get an obstruction charge for remaining silent or choosing (legally) not to cooperate. What Martha Stewart did was lie to authorities during the course of a formal investigation in an at

While I am not a lawyer like you, I think there is reason to believe #1 may not necessarily as straightforward as it seems. At minimum, there can definitely be a case made to support Uber. Evasion generally has to do with mandatory liabili

by turc1656 9y ago
Yes. Particularly with the way they did it. If they instead went through police detectives, I believe detectives aren't required to turn over every single thing they have during discovery. So they could legally keep the notes of a c

I didn't even think of witness tampering. Good one. I don't know enough about that law to know if it applies, but it definitely might. Add that to the list of violations for these dirtbags.

Violating the Code of Criminal Procedure should carry disbarment, at minimum. Include the very reasonable cases that could be made for fraud and/or forgery (depending on the wording of the law(s) in that state) and things get even mor

According to this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDn6jiq_FjM All we have to use is use that sign and 100% of this will cease to exist. I highly doubt his 100% number will hold in the aggregate, but even if it's

Fraud checking could be really quick and easy. A tag/placard is registered to an individual. If that information were easily available to whoever was going to enforce this (and maybe it already is quickly accessible, I don't kno

The language I used clearly is not all-or-nothing. I said the overwhelming majority of cases. What you are referring to is an edge case - a situation that is more rare than the far more common situations. It should be clear that I acknow

It's not charging someone for being injured. It's the equivalent of getting a licence renewal. It's not free. Do you still consider that same driver to be getting charged for being disabled when they are renewing their lic

This makes total sense to me. As I read the original link I was wondering why CA has that rule in place. There's really no reason I can see that having a disability placard should yield free parking. Glad to see at least one state h

Most of the suggestions I found to make sense and be very reasonable. The issue raised is reminiscent of how the number of people on disability dramatically rose during the financial crisis. And that's the sort of thing that's ac

A follow up thought - the article also mentions that revenues generated from citations are another possible reason for the speed limits being what they are and speed traps being a known money grab nationwide. This is definitely true, and p

Reading through a number of the comments, my thoughts on this matter may draw some ire, but here they are anyway, FWIW. I would really like to see some consistency applied to how the law is enforced and written when it comes to traffic safe

Very interesting. So it seems like a craft/vehicle such as this can get away with flying in congested areas because of it's maneuverability. What's more, we have a helipad on my building at ground level! And we happen to b

Yup. The site's FAQ page says that while you don't require a pilot's license, it is designed to be flown over freshwater in non-congested areas. That's pretty limiting. There goes my dream of commuting to work like a b
