  1. Re:Presumption of innocence on Indiana Court Rules Melted Down Hard Drive Not Destruction of Evidence · · Score: 1

    It's a fuzzy clock in this natter, as TFA makes clear.

    Probable cause does exist in civil cases.

    The probable cause standard is more important in Criminal Law than it is in Civil Law because it is used in criminal law as a basis for searching and arresting persons and depriving them of their liberty. Civil cases can deprive a person of property, but they cannot deprive a person of liberty. In civil court a plaintiff must possess probable cause to levy a claim against a defendant.

    Not this.

    The accused is not bound to preserve any and all possessions that might be discoverable in litigation at a later date after even a rumour that the accused will become a party in a suit.

    Evidence does not exist before probable cause defines the scope of what will constitute evidence, only after a motion to preserve evidence is filed.

  4. Shopping list reminder ... on What Isn't There an App For? · · Score: 1

    I put in a list of items I'm interested in as I go about my day. Toilet paper, floss, pork & beans, taters, batteries (AA), crème brûlée, washer for the faucet ...

    While traveling around doing other stuff, this app barks that I am in the vicinity of Rao's Bakery and they have crème brûlée. On another day, I'm gassing up and "BARK!" they have pork & beans inside the store.

    I could decline: 1.) Not now 2.) Not this store (and that store is blacklisted for that item).

    I could blacklist any store. I hate Walmart.
