  1. Re:Easement on Telecom Rollouts Raise Ire Over Utility Boxes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Easement clause is used in Kansas City by cable, phone, gas and electric companies. They are required to pay an additional fee for digging more than once a year or digging up roads paved less than 1 year. But they seem to find ways around the fee system. In the older neighborhood I live in, they use the excuse of upgrading for the two major hospitals in the area. They have actually damaged sewer pipes, caused driveways and sidewalks to sink to the point of having to be replaced, by the property owners and gotten away with not paying damages. The police are starting to openly complain that the larger boxes are being used by muggers to hide behind contributing to crime in the area. I think it will take the boxes getting vandalized for components to convince the companies to put them underground.

  2. Re:FBI Out to Lunch on ID Theft In US Continues Apace Despite Data Breach Laws · · Score: 1

    The FBI is more than just out to lunch in Kansas City. When I found out who (Kansas City big name attorney) was using my ID I called the police, they refused to make a report. I filed a complaint and received threats over the phone by officers calling from the police station(caller ID) and threats from officers in uniform knocking on my front door yelling they were going to kick the door in and teach me a lesson. No one would touch it. ACLU claimed they didn't have the resources, Attorneys claimed if they took the case the same thing would happen to them. And FBI Agent Mark Holburn claimed I deserved what was going on and refused to do anything. I'll never forget. Or trust the FBI on anything. They are just a local branch of Al Qaeda.

    My adopted father has been using my ss number for years. He has done so much damage I may never be able to own a car, have a bank account or anything else. Between the State of Missouri and apparently most other states being able to sell ss numbers and info bulk and credit reporting companies being exempt from recording information that may be wrong it will never be even vaguely manageable. The last 4 years has been an attorney that I won against, he does have friends in high places, the higher the place the bigger penalty they should get. Credit reporting companies should have to verify information and inform the person they report on who is asking for the information. I have to move by the end of this month and the two places that did checks still come up with a horrendous record that is so large they couldn't approve me but they knew there was no way it could be my record. Too much going on at the same time in too many places. But I still can't get past it. Trying to clear my ID has been a full time job the last 4 years.
