The spending aspect isn't similarly limited. Citizens can vote in basically any project that they want with a majority, but actually raising the money takes a super-majority.
I've always supported the idea of fines equal to the average profits they would have earned during their sentence. If it puts them out of business, too bad.
The cop who feels the protesters are a subhuman group of people disturbing the social order can do a ton of damage with something like this. Batons have a pretty simple physical restriction on how much damage they can do. You can only hit so many people before you tire out. Our legal system is pretty has pretty well clarified the outcome for a cop who fires indiscriminately into a crowd. Tear gas can look pretty bad for the cameras. New tools like this that lack a practical, legal, or even PR based restrictions can allow things to get out of hand pretty quick. Things like hearing damage can be a little too easy for the officer who screws up to avoid having to face consequences. Tools like this should really be kept out of high tension situations until we have some way to ensure some degree of accountability.
Didn't Serbia just have to cancel its pride parade over fears of violence. Rome is notorious for gay violence. There are ignorant people everywhere, being on on landmass doesn't make you a better more tolerant person.
As a lifelong pedestrian I firmly agree with rantingkitten. People are squishy and cars are not. It is right for drivers to bear the legal responsibility as the more maneuverable vehicle, but pedestrians have more practical responsibility as the ones who are more likely to end up smeared on the pavement. Never put youre life in the hands of random strangers who may not even be aware of your presence if you can avoid it.
Some sheet music suppliers bundle the fees in with the cost of the music itself. Perhaps the fees were handled in some similar manner that didn't require keeping tabs on it later.
That tells you it's almost certainly drug related as I can't really think of any other reason why I wouldn't help the police if someone shot me.
As sad as it may seem many people have a deep distrust of police, not only for drug related reasons. In some neighborhoods the police have behaved in a manner that does not lead to much trust.
That being said, it probably was drugs or at least the thug mentality that is far too prevalent.
A basic window unit doesn't require and HVAC tech. In some areas (where I live for example) central air systems are seen as a ridiculous luxury. If you live in a cool or temperate climate with older homes, an AC system ever requiring a visit from a tech is nearly unheard of.
If you hit a pedestrian at a crosswalk, even one who ignored the signal, you are being negligent. They are being negligent as well, but you are the one controlling the dangerous object.
New Orleans has an average negative elevation and Miami is less than 3 meters as well. Huge numbers of people worldwide live within any likely danger zone.

Under US law the images are not under copyright. The DMCA would not apply
We already know that US military troops will kill civilians under the right circumstances. Kent State University & Jackson State proved that 39 years ago. Given the right circumstances any group of human beings can commit acts that would be unthinkable for them in normal circumstances.
The problem with that is that the hole is there. It may or may not be in the wild and the company has not taken action in 8 months. It may very well be that the only way to push the company to act is full public disclosure.
George Carlin did engage in several court cases relating to his comedy that helped protect free speech. In the Milwaukee Seven case his work was ruled to be protected, because while it was indecent it was not obscene. The same speech was deemed to fall under the FCC's control in the Pacifica case. He probably did more to protect free speech in this country by just doing his bit than he ever would have been able to by turning it into a purely political effort.
The right to be left alone is pretty much the basis of the US legal system. Putting cameras everywherre is not a good way to deter crime, the risk of abuse is too high.
As recently as 2005 Cleveland was the Economist's pick for most livable city in the US tied with Pittsburg. I don't recall Detroit being called a hot destination in my life time.

Most likely to note any trends in sentencing disparity.
It only takes $300,000 to bribe a Canadian prime minister? http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/cuyahoga/1254558952231190.xml&coll=2&thispage=2 Even county officials here bring in more than that.

Not exactly, in an ideal world that might be true, but many water systems are contaminated.

Nonsense, a human can create a child that can solve problems that they are unable to solve. There is no reason a machine can not do the same.

In 20 years we will likely have top live with the precedents set in cases like this. Our legal system is shaped and refined by loads of petty cases.

The Reichstag fire springs to mind. Most nations have at least, and usually more major overreactions.
Copyright requires a fixed medium. A politician's words are anything but that.
