I don't think you need to use the magic asterisks of deniability, as you already stated "I'd like to claim", which differentiates the following from a factual claim. For example:
I'd like to claim that the sheep who saw Mr. Pai sans trousers seemed to relax, maybe even chuckled a bit, and went about their business unconcerned.
Not having actually been there, I can't make such a claim even though I may think that's what would actually happen. If Mr. Pai is ever caught trying to "make the flock great again" then I'll be able to update my claim.
Officer Carroll: "Okay. Well, you're showing me indicators that you have been smoking marijuana, okay?"
Can the officer explain the indicators displayed and provide details about how she failed each of them, either in his report or under oath in a court of law? If not, how does this proceed any further? Or has the legal system become so degraded that evidence is no longer needed in a case of this magnitude?
The tentative embrace of streaming services' offerings comes with caveats: films must be released to theaters as well to be considered for major awards.
So why doesn't Netflix just buy a theater? I know it doesn't quite align with their business model, but it could work. In the space of a traditional theater, set up a dozen 'large living rooms' to screen their shows. Free/discounted admission with a Netflix membership, etc. The large studios will sometimes rent one screen for a movie to make it eligible for awards, this should work for Netflix.
IANAL, but an officer saying "Motherfucker, I'm going to kill you." and then actually killing them- does that open up the possibility of charges of premeditated murder? With this video I don't see how these officers could keep their qualified immunity in any place with even a minimal pretense of being lawful.
Former President Andrew Jackson was very much against net neutrality, according to Trump. Trump is following in the footsteps of his hero by making this a priority for his administration.
I bet they saved a bunch on the paper mache card readers too! The only remaining question is which congressman got the kickbacks from the security contractor?
Or these are actually just RFID cards, and they printed the fake contacts so people would stop asking why there were no contacts. Most places use RFID only for access. The contacts would only be used for verification when logging on to a computer. If they don't use that feature (though they should) then having the contacts/chip would be pointless.
A person is considered a public official for purposes of a defense to a libel claim only if the person is known as a public official in the community in which the damage to the person was proximately caused.
IANAL, but would the libel claim then have to be filed in the 'community in which the damage to the person was proximately caused'? Good luck going to the internet to file this. Any place outside of Texas the defendant would be protected by relatively sane libel laws (i.e. not this proposed law). This doesn't leave many places where they could file such a claim and hope to prevail.
There would be specifications, tolerances, or functional tests that the OEM sensors/parts must satisfy. If a non-OEM part met the same requirements as the OEM part, the OEM would have difficulty proving that the part was not fit for use.
It also seems quite onerous to have to repair windows broken by protestors- maybe soon they'll be able to arrest them and seize their cash/property before the window is broken.
It won't cost them a thing, overall. The refunds will be available in person only, at the end of a very long, flat, straight road. With a 5 mph speed limit, unposted.
