  1. It is akin to finding a suitcase full of money on the beach and turning it in. After a year it's yours, but thanks to the publicity the owner knows your name and where you live.

  2. Things that we learned in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election: In order to have "standing" in a lawsuit, you must be able to PROVE financial loss or physical harm. If you are unable to PROVE financial loss or physical harm, your lawsuit will not be heard due to a lack of "standing". Most, if not all, of the lawsuits filed after the election were tossed out on this basis. Who knew?

  7. They used to ticket people who swerve in Pennsylvania, but swerving to avoid roadkill, potholes, or dropped auto parts is so common.

  9.  @CaptRR  The FCC is only one thing to worry about. Far worse is the ASCAP/BMI people. A pirate station isn't going to pay for the license to play music and once ASCAP gets wind you will be sued.

  13. If the prosecutor and his pals has a hard-on for you, you get revenge, not justice. Look up the Munchinski case in Pennsylvania.

  15. ​ @SmallSpoonBrigade Modern cars have a float ball in the fuel line. This is supposed to block the filler neck and prevent spillage in the event of a rollover collision. When you fill the tank at the pump's maximum speed air gets forced behind the ball and will cause the pump to shut off well before the tank is actually full. Using the lowest setting allows any trapped air to escape, allowing for a more complete tank fill.

  16. This is nothing new. My dad's new 1967 F-100 smoked its wiring harness two weeks after he bought it. He cut the battery wire before it caught fire and they fixed it under the warranty. They also replaced the front fenders after they rusted out 9 months after he bought it.

  18.  @jeffreyhowll1392  I only asked one question; that being "what kind of proof" would be acceptable? My "position" is not the issue here.

  19.  @jeffreyhowll1392  In order to, as you stated, "defend my position", you first have to have at least a rudimentary understanding of the following topics: Philosophy. Einsteinean physics. Archaeology. Anthropology. Geology. Mythology, legends and folklore. My thoughts on this subject are irrelevant to you, but they have been shaped by my experience. Your experience may be different.

  23. ​ @dunstvangeet You're forgetting to include the weasel word "reasonable" in the discussion. If there is another restaurant within a "reasonable" distance that's willing to serve black people, then the plaintiff cannot assert that service is being denied. That's the whole point. If I don't want to bake you a cake, but the other bakery in town will, you cannot assert that service is being denied. The availability of web services broadens the service area... If I don't want to design a website for you, is it unreasonable to expect you to enlist the services of another web designer?

  24.  @dunstvangeet  Now you start to get into the "reasonable" part of the case. Pretend that Judge Judy is hearing the case... "So, the defendant refused to take your money, correct?" (She boils it down to the fundamental issue.) "Yes, your honor." "Did you approach any other bakeries with your request?" "No, your honor." "Why not?" (We'll assume that there are several bakeries in a "reasonable" distance.)

  28. Kinda reminds me of a buddy of mine who worked for a construction company that suddenly went bankrupt. The guy was paying child support via a wage attachment. He gets arrested and thrown in the county jail for non-support. He is allowed to retrieve his pay stubs that showed that he was current on his support obligation. Investigation surmised that the company owner took off with the support money as well as the company money. The judge looks down at my friend, and says "You're three months in arrears. Are you prepared to make your account current?" Guy said no, judge sent him to jail for six months.

  29. On a different tangent, and more to your point... When I reported for jury duty years ago there was a young man not dressed appropriately. After Judge Joan Orie Melvin walked in, introduced herself, and we all recited the Pledge of Allegiance, she called the young man to the bench and asked him if he hadn't read the part about "appropriate attire". He apologized, said that he was a student at the University of Pittsburgh, and that he was missing finals to be there. She excused him.

  32. Actually, you have to go way back in time for the answer. The Ten Commandments and Hammurabi's Code are good places to begin. In order for a society and a civilization to advance, it must develop rules and laws that govern human behavior that result in the advancement of the greatest percentage of the population.

  41.  @shawncarroll5255  (standing on podium) Let me state that I am not a lawyer, have never played one on TV, and since I retired, haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in years. I find the legal system interesting for its use of weasel words, the overarching use of the word "reasonable", and now how it's adopted a "the ends justifies the means" paradigm. From 1978 to 2008, I was in industrial Instrumentation and process controls, a world bound by the laws of physics, and one in which adherence to clearly written procedures is paramount. There is no place for weasel words here. Playing fast and loose with the laws will get you killed.

  45. ​ @Natediggetydog In case you haven't seen the news, squatters have more rights than the real homeowner. Here's the usual sequence... homeowner learns that squatters have moved into their house. Homeowner calls the cops. Squatter waves a piece of paper and claims to have a lease. Cops tell homeowner that it's a civil issue and leave. Homeowner now has to spend thousands of dollars and months trying to get squatters removed.

  47. Not like this. Home title insurance checks for any liens that may be attached to the title. If they miss anything you don't have to pay anything. Six months after we bought our house in 1986 we began getting phone calls from a bank in Miami demanding payment on a loan taken by the previous owners. I gave them the phone number of the title insurance company and they went away.

  48. The problem comes from the vast numbers of flood totalled vehicles that find their way into the used car market. They called it "cleaning the title" or something like that. Services like Carfax are useless now.

  49. In Pennsylvania, motorcyclists are considered to be expendable, as by riding a motorcycle we have chosen to accept the inherent risks. Killing a motorcycle rider typically results in the car driver having to pay a $300 right of way violation fine.
