It certainly is possible to travel "several blocks" in thirty seconds. Taking an average block to be 300 feet long, let's suppose they travelled three blocks, or 900 feet. That is 1800 feet per minute, or 108000 feet per hour. A mile contains 5280 feet, so that is 20.5 miles per hour, a perfectly plausible speed. I agree that police claims about their ability to smell marijuana are dubious, but this aspect of the police report is perfectly credible.
There is a straightforward solution to this problem, namely to upload the footage from police officers' bodycams directly to an archive controlled by the oversight board rather than the police department. Then there can be no question of the department deleting, pretending to lose, or refusing to provide footage.
It is a mystery to me (and I am an experienced programmer) why there should be ANY cost to make PACER free. The system already provides the necessary search facilities and stores the documents. Turning off the billing component should be trivial. What is the basis for the cost estimates?
Leaving aside the problem of bias, how the heck can a single judge handle 800 patent cases a year, plus whatever other cases he is assigned? According to my calculation, on average a federal district court judge is assigned 550 new civil cases per year.
There is no contradiction between NSO's claim that it has no visibility into its clients' use of its product and its claim that it terminates contracts when it discovers abuse. It is entirely possible that in the course of normal operations they do not see what their clients are doing but that, if third parties disclose credible evidence of abuse, NSO terminates the contract.
That is true if it is the state that decides whether to sue, but not if it is the county. Since it is the county that owns the machines, it may well be the county's decision.
I would think that the government would be able to recover the cost of new machines from Cyber Ninjas since their negligence is the cause of the problem.
The reason companies often give for being very aggressive about questionable trademark infringements is that if they do not enforce their trademarks they run the risk of losing them, an issue that does not arise with, e.g., copyright. They're right, up to a point. Perhaps the problem could be reduced by the courts, or legislation, clarifying what counts as dilution of a trademark, e.g. making it clear that if the marks are used in widely different industries, there is no risk of losing a trademark due to lack of enforcement.
It isn't so clear that NSO is helping Israel's enemies. Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qater and may not be as independent as you think. Qatar is a strong supporter of Hamas, the genocidal fascist group engaged in a terror war against Israel. The UAE, on the other hand, has been quietly flirting with Israel for some years and has recently normalized relations with Israel. Helping the UAE to spy on journalists working for a Qatari organization may well be in Israel's best interests.
Qualified immunity is a problem, as are no-knock entries, but it would help if police departments would stop hiring wusses who have an inordinate fear of dogs.
Trademarks are sector specific - if you decide to call your tractors "John Deere", you've got a problem, but if you decide to call your yoga studio "John Deere", there shouldn't be. I'm pretty sure that beer and peanut butter are not in the same sectors, so this should not be an issue.
I'm surprised that authors of the law providing access did not anticipate this tactic and include in the bill a provision forbidding the destruction of records.
Uh, no. The US invaded Mexico in 1848. The Spanish-American War took place in 1898 and did not involve Mexico since Mexico had been independent of Spain since 1810.
Re: Re: The internal matter is the location of Israel's capital in Jerusalem.
The land that the settlements are built on is in almost all cases state land. It has not been stolen from anyone. If you refer to sovereignty, Judea and Samaria are not "Palestinian land". Had the Arabs accepted the UN partition plan, they might have been, but they did not. No Palestinian state was ever created. Furthermore, neither the League of Nations mandate, which remains the governing law, nor the UN partition resolution, intended Jews to be unable to live in Judea and Samaria. Indeed, both explicitly anticipated Jews remaining there, just as Arabs remained in Israel. The claim that the settlements are illegal under the Geneva Conventions is false not only because Judea and Samaria are not the occupied territory of some state, which is the situation the conventions assume, but because what is illegal is the forced resettlement of a population, not voluntary settlement.
