Nope, it's also destruction of evidence if you believe it might become evidence, which in that situation could be proven. They would still need to prove there was evidence that was destroyed, but if they did that proving that you knew it would shortly be evidence would be easy.
All that should matter is to determine if the evidence is real or faked; it should not matter how it is obtained except in so far as it helps to determine whether it was faked. "Procedures" for getting evidence, like search warrants, should just be a factor in helping that decision, not a way to get evidence thrown out automatically if it was not by "procedure".
As for police randomly raiding homes without warrants, if they do find incriminating evidence then fair enough; if they don't, then prosecute the police for intrusion.
We now know that Chahal is an utter bastard who abuses women. That video evidence is good enough for me..
The fucking police around here get a paid vacation for MURDER, do you really think they will get in trouble for not following procedure? From the police department's view, they did great! They put a "bad guy" away (never mind pissing on constitutional rights). They won't be getting punished, the chief will be giving them high-fives.
from the tone of your post it sounds you are, like me, old enough to remember the days when Usenet, around the time of the Great Renaming and the introduction of the new hierarchies, were flooded with "newbies". you probably remember old timers back then declaring that "the good ol days are over" and proclaiming the intention to go offline. the ones who did, have certainly missed a lot of fun.
Yep, it was called the Eternal September and it was when AOL decided to unleash their horde of clueless idiots onto usenet.
Great, if you don't agree, please let me know what you think is the most powerful job in the world. The US has the largest economy and the most powerful military, it seems the leader of that country is the most powerful.
Habitable temperature range != habitable planet. While nerds at NASA may be constantly arguing about the air conditioner thermostat setting, there are other quite important factors necessary to sustain life. Like oxygen in the atmosphere (there is none) and the lack of poisonous, corrosive chemicals like sulfuric acid
Oxygen? Where do you think the oxygen in Earth's atmosphere came from? Hint - it wasn't from geological processes. Better hint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Trump makes a joke, media says he attacked someone.
You know, I'm sick of Trump claiming everything he says is a joke when he gets called out on his bullshit. You're not a fucking comedian, Donald, you're applying for the most powerful job in the world - so act like it. Whether it's calling for Clinton's assassination or claiming Obama founded ISIS, this "it was a joke" bullshit gets old.
Maybe a $500 education program to tell people not to be stupid would be better.
There are always going to be stupid people, that doesn't mean they should starve in the streets. But yes, education is the key, they should be drilling the idea of an emergency fund into kid's minds all through school so when they get out on their own they won't even consider that they could go without. Unfortunately, people generally learn their money habits from their parents and their peers so it's not likely that the situation will change any time soon.
The trap many poor people are getting in these days is they hit one of these financial emergencies and they take out a "payday loan" to get by. But now they have already spent their next check and thus once they do get paid they take out another loan when paying the previous loan off. These places charge huge fees and as much interest as they legally can and once someone gets into the cycle it can be difficult to get back out, especially if they were previously living paycheck-to-paycheck. They now have an extra expense every check (fees and interest to the loan place) and so are even more squeezed than before. A $1000 infusion would allow someone in a cycle like this to break the cycle and at least start keeping all of their checks.
RE: "giving one-time cash quantities to people on the brink of homelessness who can demonstrate that they will be able to pay rent by themselves in the future, but who have been afflicted by some nonrecurring crisis, such as a medical bill. Recipients need to be able to demonstrate consistent future income."
Well that's quite a different scenario! And that makes sense. As usual, the article did not mention that.
Seems like almost every "news" source these days tells only half the truth.
It's literally a quote FROM THE FUCKING ARTICLE, and the post you replied to specifically said it was from the article. You didn't read the article or the post (or at least didn't comprehend them) then you bitch about the media not keeping you informed. If you want to see who is keeping you uninformed, look in a mirror.
"Responding to homicide allegations, an official of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology acknowledged that doctors initially were puzzled by a circular wound on the top of Brown's head when his remains were recovered at the crash scene. The forensic pathologist then consulted with others and took extensive X-rays. As a result of these consultations and full-body X-rays, we absolutely ruled out anything beyond a blunt-force injury to the head."
Not sure what you are saying here. Wouldn't you expect the cause of death for people who crashed a plane into a mountain to be blunt force trauma?
And doesn't know what they're talking about. As long as Mars isn't obscured by the Sun (which also happens every 26 months) the communications with the probes around Mars continues unhindered.
Not to mention the phrase in the summary that's just stupid:
allowing MRO to transmit a massive amount of photos from the planet's surface.
What the hell do they think the 'O' stands for in MRO? If it's orbiting, it's not sending photos from the planet's surface, it's sending them from orbit. It should say "massive amount of photos of the planet's surface", but we can't actually expect the 'editors' around here to do any actual editing.
The thing is if you start 20 businesses and 17 of them go bankrupt, you are still doing ok as a businessman.
Most businesses have, regardless of who started them, failed. The majority of those failures occur within the very first year of operation. Thats what average looks like.
While all businesses do fail eventually (over the timespan of "forever", it's hard not to eventually fail), but it's certainly not in the first year. Most small businesses fail just because they are not worth anything to someone else. When the owner of a small business dies or retires, his business usually fails -- because nobody wants to pay money to buy "Henry Adelson Landscaping" when they can just start their own landscaping company. From a Washington Post Article on the subject:
As far as we can tell, there is no statistical basis for the assertion that nine out of 10 businesses fail. It appears to be one of those nonsense facts that people repeat without thinking too clearly about it. ...
About half of all new establishments survive five years or more and about one-third survive 10 years or more. As one would expect, the probability of survival increases with a firm’s age. Survival rates have changed little over time.
Donald Trump's bankruptcies are the classic "heads I win, tails you lose" scam. If the building project does well, he makes a bunch of money. If it doesn't, he just has the development company declare bankruptcy and all the subcontractors and suppliers that provided the labor and supplies to build the project get screwed.
That's what I thought, until I bought one (TP-Link Archer C7). The hardware seems decent but when I tried to load OpenWRT I ran into the "safeguards" that the article is talking about. I was finally able to get an alternate firmware installed, but it certainly wasn't easy (or at least, wouldn't have been easy for a less technical user).
Why do you think the police carry guns? When an officer asks you to do something, you comply period.
The reason police carry guns is not for compliance. The reason they carry guns is to protect themselves from danger or to protect the community from imminent danger. No other reason.
Ummm, I don't know when this happened but that is still destruction of evidence. From this page:
Spoliation has been defined as the willful destruction of evidence or the failure to preserve potential evidence for another's use in pending or future litigation. Trigon Ins. Co. v. U.S., 204 F.R.D. 277 (E.D.Va., 2001). Two recent SJC decisions, Fletcher v. Dorchester Mutual Insurance Company, 437 Mass. 544 (2002), and Keene v. Brigham and Women’s Hospital, 439 Mass. 223 (2003), flesh out what is required of parties to civil litigation as to document retention. Both cases emphasize that sanctions (in extreme cases, up to and including default or dismissal) may be appropriate for the spoliation of evidence, whether negligent or intentional, even where the loss of potential evidence occurs before an action has been commenced, if a litigant or its expert knows or reasonably should know that the evidence might be relevant to a possible action.
I don't know about where you are, but here there employer gets to say when you're allowed to take vacation time, and you're required by law to give reasonable notice of resignation, which is generally understood to be two weeks.
[citation needed]
Can you cite a statute?
Yes, you are required to have an agreement with your employer for vacation... if you're planning to come back. But if you don't show up and they fire you, or you quit, then they're obliged to pay you out for any banked (paid) vacation days which you've earned.
It depends on the state, but many states either do not have a law or only force the companies to pay out accrued vacation if they don't have a policy that specifically says they don't pay it out. Here is a list of the policies per state, here is a PDF that has the actual statutes involved for each state.
Of course, they can just do like my company has done and get rid of accrued PTO altogether. The new policy is to take time off whenever you want. Of course, this is good for the company in two ways - they don't have to pay vacation out when they lay people off so they don't have that liability on the balance sheet and people will take fewer days because they don't know how much time off they are allowed to take. The slackers who took a lot of time off with PTO will still take a lot of time off, but the people who don't normally take a lot of time off will probably take even less. Win-win(company)-lose(employee).
Those contracts were probably non-enforceable, then. Nearly every US state (sorry if you aren't in the US, perhaps the info doesn't apply to you) is work-at-will which means cause is never necessary, even if your contract says it explicitly.
Wrong. In fact, in 36 at-will states it may be unlawful to fire you without notice even without a contract if you have an implied contract.
Thirty-six U.S. states (and the District of Columbia) also recognize an implied contract as an exception to at-will employment.[29] Under the implied contract exception, an employer may not fire an employee "when an implied contract is formed between an employer and employee, even though no express, written instrument regarding the employment relationship exists."
From the same article:
The doctrine of at-will employment can be overridden by an express contract or civil service statutes (in the case of government employees).
That seems to directly refute what you said. Unless you have a better citation (like an actual law).
It is unwise to make threats. You are simply providing him with legal ammunition.
I agree, you should never put threats like that into writing. If you want to extort the guy, do it face-to-face. If it ever comes to a court case, it will be a lot better for you if there is no physical evidence. Of course, you could act like a decent human and not do it at all.
Also, if he is searching terms like 'Lolita' then he probably has child porn on his computer and should be reported to the police. Don't keep the pedophile free just because you want a good reference.
I have seen cases where people were asked to leave immediately - even escorted out of the building,
In many workplaces this is now the norm, by policy.
Which is why you should give 2 weeks notice. If you give 2 weeks and they decide to let you go right then and perp-walk you to the door, then by law they must pay you for those 2 weeks (at least in my state).
Unless the plane is nearly ballistic, dumping load would not help.
Sure it would, as your weight decreases your stall speed goes down. If you are getting lift equal to your weight and you suddenly lose a bunch of weight, then you are going to suddenly have more lift. That being said, you wouldn't be able to jettison anything that wasn't currently at your center of lift, if you tried to drop from anywhere else it would throw the plane severely out of balance. If nose heavy, it could probably recover but if tail heavy you are almost certainly going down.
Why the fuck would they use orbital cameras? They just use standard cameras mounted on police cars and on the side of the road, read in your license plate and store your location in a database. If the man wants to know where you've been, he'll know.
As a proud parrot owner, I can tell you that a bird farting usually means disaster. Whenever she farts, it usually means she has diarrhea. Trying to get that stuff off the carpets is not a joke.
How you differentiate bird shit from bird diarrhea? It seems like they would be pretty much the same.
