This incident is why cops try so very hard to keep the public from filming incidents, why riot police go after journalists, and don't turn their body cameras on. They don't want to be held accountable for their actions.
I'm sorry but any patent on a vaccine for a world spanning epidemic should never exist. In no way does that patent promote science or the useful arts, it's getting people killed.
My home internet connection delivers service at 300 Mbps down but only 20 Mbps up, yet it is a service that has supported my household reliably throughout the last year.
Wish I had those kinds of speeds.. gee a company spokesperson getting top end service, most likely at an extreme discount.
Has the DOJ found their weak target to drag through court forcing them to give the DOJ a backdoor to set precedent? Cause you just know that if it doesn't get thrown out they are just going to offer a plea bargain to get their backdoor then use this case as a red flag to wave in front of everyone else.
Nope. They go about it backwards. Write it, pass it, then pray it doesn't harm anyone in a manner that is unconstitutional and hope they have enough money to take it all the way to the SCOTUS.
To me, Twitter's argument that a company that isn't competing in the same market would cause confusion over marks just means the original mark has become generic and the trademark should be removed.
I think a simple variation on Sparta's reply to Philip of Macedon would be very appropriate. "No" written on the backside of the letter and returned to the esteemed politicians.
Sounds like they accomplished their goal. They delayed getting the laws passed and allowed the issue to cool off. I suspect it will be much harder for any groups to get any right to repair laws passed without the raised passions of it being a "New" issue.
And this is exactly why i think SCOTUS should review a law directly after it gets signed instead of waiting around for the possibility of someone being harmed by it and it making its way through years of court battles and expenses to get to them. An ounce of prevention and all that.
The two videos released by the department show that Jones didn't exit her Tallahassee home until about 23 minutes after officers first rang the doorbell, and 15 minutes after they first announced themselves as police.
Why did it take them 8 minutes to identify themselves?
Which is going to be really amusing when they then get hit with the banhammer first time they try it and Twitter responds with, "not going to let you say this shit and us get sued for it."
Re: Re: Should confidential settlements be allowed?
The difference between the Holmes settlement and a prenup divorce settlement.. is that the Holmes settlement possible touches on the a matter of importance for the public. Namely the public domain issue of the Holmes Estate claim of a "more emotionally mature Sherlock who likes dogs". For the divorce case there isn't much of interest to the public there.
Which won't happen until someone actually experiences getting their life wrung through the ringers. As opposed to you know, the courts actually taking the law after it has passed Congress and the President and giving their yay or nay on it. Nope, gotta wait till someone is harmed by it to determine if it is unconstitutional or not.
How in the world did that bit of evidence not get thrown out of court? That wasn't the kids phone, that was the parents phone that they allowed the kid to use because as a minor the kid couldn't sign the contract with the phone company.
