Slashdot Mirror

In my state (KY but possibly others), we created a law that when 911 was called for an overdose that everyone at the scene was safe from prosecution of crimes such as possession etc. Could this law be expanded or interpreted to include 911 calls made by an apple watch?

This is true: the states have for years been selling this same infomatin to interested parties. Well, my state, Florida, gives it away for free, but most sell it for cheap. The whole vote fraud inquiry could have been handled quietly by both sides or even hidden by shell corp requests for data (have an NGO request the data and donate it), but both sides wanted to turn thisinto a screaming match. That's all it is: a public distraction with two positions around which Ds and Rs can gather to whip up their respective echo chambers.

There are already mechanisms in place for solving problems: politics isn't about solving problems but about generating new ones that touch the heart and inspire true believers to give their loyalty ti the parties. The advertising-driven press is complicit in this, since it seeks to amplify the parties' calls for supporters in order to increase its own ad revenue.

Kentukywired intends to wire the whole state. The Kochs have strategically chosen to pick this fight in Louisville, a classic (D) run bed of corruption.

Ah yes, because whenever a politician is mentioned without party being specified, it must be a liberal plot to cover for their own!

You know, Democratic politicians like John Carney, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio!

Oh wait, John Carney is a Republican. And so is Mike Lee.. and hey, come to think of it, isn't that Marco Rubio fellow running for the Republican presidential nomination?!

Gosh, it's almost like the presence or absence of a party identifier by someone's name is more or less random, and isn't part of some massive liberal conspiracy after all!

Kentucky has it right:

http://www.lrc.ky.gov/krs/007-00/500.pdf

(1) The Legislative Research Commission shall make available to the public in electronic form the following texts:
(a) The Constitution of Kentucky;
(b) The Kentucky Revised Statutes;
(c) The Kentucky Acts; and
(d) The administrative regulations comprising the Kentucky Administrative Regulations Service and the Administrative Register of Kentucky.

I think that regulatory documents that are enforceable by the force of government, such as the National Electric Code, should also be made freely available.

The taxpayers had no choice but to give their tax money to the state. The state has chosen to use this money to fund a theme park with the clear motivation of putting forth a particular set of religious beliefs. Hence, the taxpayer is being forced to fund religious teachings that he may or may not believe in. This is in violation of both the US Constitution and the Kentucky Constitution.

Hence, the Christian taxpayer is being forced to fund religious teachings (suspending the Laws of Thermodynamics for the big bang requires "belief" without fact) that he may or may not believe in.

The 14th Amendment has been widely interpreted by the courts to mean that the Bill of Rights is applicable to the states, so the prohibitions in the first amendment apply to state legislatures as well.

If that's not enough for you, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that a religious college couldn't keep money given to it by the General Assembly because it was supported by a religious institution, even though the money was not going to be used for anything specifically religious.

If that's still not enough for you, Section 5 of the Kentucky Constitution states (in part) "nor shall any person be compelled to attend any place of worship, to contribute to the erection or maintenance of any such place, or to the salary or support of any minister of religion". Using taxpayer money to erect a religious theme park seems pretty squarely at odds with this provision.

Slashdot is notorious for spreading this incorrect information, and it needs to stop. Theft of time/labor is also a crime, at least in two state, and a Google search for "theft of labor" reveals many more citations for you to peruse.

Can't we do something do him for that?

You can try to get him kicked off the bench. Contact the Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission and file your complaint.

and here is the code they refer to KRS 500.090 Forfeiture, in the court order as to whereforth they derive their authority

i got interested b/c in the order, it ends with "..., the property [those domains] will be disposed of by the Commonwealth pursuant to KRS 500.090" - so in other words, if the rightful owners don't forward they do like 500.090, which also refers to Chapter 424 on the hows of disposal, i *think* IANAL, they end up auctioning them off

Who the fuck do you think you are, pissing on the First Amendment? You're the type of crap who would have hung Thomas Paine for publishing his anonymous pamphlets.

Why do you hate our Constitution?

Here's his official web feedback form. Note that while it requires you to provide your name and address, nothing validates that those are actually your real name and address. You might want to point that out to the representative.

Here's what you do. Everyone in Kentucky who reads this article needs to write a letter (yes, a physical letter to be placed in an envelope with a postage stamp on it) commenting on the freedom of speech and sign it "Anonymous". Then post it at the post office to the mailing address of Tim Couch with a return address of the same. Be respectful (because angry words will only help him in his cause and make him "righteous") but informative on why anonymity is important and where this country would be without it.

For help in crafting your letter you might want to read the EFF article titled Speech: Anonimty

Next week, Tim Couch will likely want to add posting things through the mail as anonymous to the bill as well. ;)

Represntative Couch says enforcing this bill if it became law would be a challenge.

As a resident of Wisconsin I would like to point out that this idiot is from Kentucky. So you can call him a bluegrasshead or say that he has cheese for brains, but do not call him a cheesehead.

How does this idiot think his STATE law is going to be enforced outside of his State? This would ensure that no one bought any hosting in the state of Kentucky.

Hell, part of this could be stemmed by:

-- installing or increasing more air-locks/decontamination/containment/quarantine areas
-- improving anti-bacterial ventilation and air cleaning/recirculation equipment
-- setting up scanners points to look for flush/sickly people who emit fumes of certain bug signatures

-- make the doctors and staff ALL wear anti-microbial/bacterial surgical masks EVEN FOR NON-SURGICAL visits (hey, they may be amped on anti-biotics, but aren't they still carriers?)

-- emulate (if not doing so already) practices of the travel/cruise industry which separates various linens according to bacterial or viral risk (using color-coded collection bins) to keep certain bugs out of warm linens while keeping less contaminated items from contact. This reduces staff exposure time to numerous critters

Most of all, given today's mass-travel economy/environment, hospitals and clinics should not be "walk-in-as-you-will" facilities. They should have screening or quarantine areas to separate and manage ENTRY of DETECTABLE vermin/air-borne agents. (Might even spark wild, new hospital designs, create jobs, and give politicians something new to do...)

I expect that many spare batteries will simply be seized and tossed in the trash.

Try sold on eBay instead. Seized property is typically sold by the states in Surplus Property auctions, where it can be bid on by the public at large, or in some cases the airports themselves sell the stuff in lots on eBay. The government is making a buck on the battery it confiscates from you.

The Kentucky State Secretary has recorded the resignation of their legal agent, J. H. Calvert, in the state.
http://apps.sos.ky.gov/business/obdb/showentity.aspx?id=0559142&ct=09&cs=99999

This was received this morning (9/11/07) and recorded. Looks like their annual filing in June showed some office changes and the VP is gone. The owners live in TN and use their agent to file paperwork, receive lawsuits, etc. What does this mean for Jatol's legal status, long arm, etc?

The State Secretary has recorded the resignation of their agent effective today.

http://apps.sos.ky.gov/business/obdb/showentity.aspx?id=0559142&ct=09&cs=99999

From their June annual report some changes have been made in management, and the owners live in Tennessee. Matt Jackson seems to no longer be with the company. And since they are a KY corp with no agent now, what does that mean for their legal status, long arm, etc?

on the other other hand they're one of the states with counties still embracing the prohibition.

The Kentucky Department of Justice uses OpenOffice beta 2 internally.

Okay, let's use that metaphor. The postman has 50 lbs of mail for you every day. 45 lbs are fraudulent or advertising some sort of snake oil/porn site. Your mailbox holds 7 lbs of mail. The postmaster has a list of people who send mail to every email address on the face of the earth and a good number of addresses that don't exist. The postman takes those sending addresses and uses them to weed out roughly 40 lbs of mail, so your mailbox is only half full of crap instead of 90%. Unfortunately, you just lost 30% of your mail because it wouldn't fit.

Then deliver 7 pounds of mail per day over a 7 (and some fraction) day period. This is totally irrelevant though, because if something won't fit in your mailbox, the postman will come to your door and tell you about the package or packages and require you to sign for them because they couldn't be transmitted to their legal receptacle (the mailbox).

Irrelevant. Nobody expects that email is a reliable transport, and sending mail is no proof of receipt. The legal status of email is largely irrelevant to the question.

Um, what?

I did a google search on e-mail site:.gov and came up with tons of results. Here's one:
http://www.doiu.nbc.gov/orientation/email.html
This page describes the Department of the Interior's email policy.
They say: e-mail systems are highly reliable for transmitting messages.
They also say: Q4. If my outgoing message is a record, should I ask for a return receipt to make sure that the person I sent it to got it?

A4. It is not necessary to ask for a return receipt or read receipt in e-mail any more than it is necessary in hard copy. We don't send all letters certified mail. If it is important to document for the record the time that a message was opened, then that receipt must be retained along with the message for as long as the message is retained. You also need to have some means of linking the receipt to the message so it is clear what outgoing message the receipt documents.

So they acknowledge openly that the mail could be intercepted in transit, just as postal mail could, but they still consider it to be highly reliable.

From a state government website (Kentucky):
http://www.kdla.ky.gov/recmanagement/tutorial/emai l.htm
Electronic Mail (e-mail) is an important communication tool for conducting government business in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Increasingly, government agencies use e-mail systems to distribute memos, circulate drafts, disseminate directives, transfer official documents, send external correspondence, and support various aspects of government operations.

Disseminate directives? Transfer OFFICIAL documents?

The office of the attorney general in New York began accepting document service by email in 2003:

Except as set forth in paragraph 2, below, beginning January 1, 2003, the Attorney General's Office will participate in the Court of Claims' Filing by Electronic Means (FBEM) pilot project and will accept service by e-mail of the following documents

Digging back into the internet stone age, is this article from the year 2000, Judge allows subpoenas delivered via email. If Y2K wasn't your bag though, 2002 saw a different judge uphold the validity of process serving by e-mail.

Do I need to keep going to illustrate how totally wrong you are not only about the reliability of email, but of the perceived reliability of email? (I shouldn't have to, but this is slashdot, after all)
