Usually in these stories, Batman or whoever leaves behind enough evidence to support a successful prosecution, along with the tied-up bag guy.

The vigilante broke the law to gain evidence, so all the evidence the vigilante obtained would be thrown out,

That’s actually an interesting situation. The fourth and fifth amendments put restrictions on the government, not private vigilantes. So if the cops just happen to find evidence in plain view, there won’t be a direct constitutional reason to suppress it.

Now if the local prosecutor has a pattern or practice of deliberately turning a blind eye to the unlicensed private investigators that routinely supply them with illegally obtained information, there’s probably a claim there. But it’s a lot more complicated to make that case than a straight-up 4th amendment case.

They don’t like the U.S. either, as they believe that they are an imperialist power that wants to take advantage of the Middle East. That is one reason that the United States deems Iran an enemy.

In 1953, the CIA and MI6 effectively ended representative democracy in Iran when they backed a coup d’etat that deposed Iranian prime minister Mohammed Mosadegh. Mosadegh had tried to audit the books of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (which later became a division of BP).

The 1953 coup resulted in the Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, ruling autocratically and with heavy support from the United States. This status continued until 1979, when an Islamist revolution deposed the Shah and installed the Islamist government led by a clerical Supreme Leader that exists today.

In 2013, the CIA released declassified documents that showed that the CIA planned and carried out the 1953 coup using all kinds of abhorrent tactics, including bribery of public officials, astroturfed paid protesters, and false flag operations.

So hopefully that explains why the US is “the great Satan” to Iran, and why Iran keeps spouting “death to USA” rhetoric.

Normally, if they’re gonna invade shit, they stage the invasion forces, meaning tanks and grunts, at least in the theater.

All I’ve heard about is two carrier groups, which is a lot, but it’s not going to invade anything. I also heard that one of the carriers deployed with broken shitters, so that’s got to be going great.

It would have been really helpful if Steve Patterson could have cited a case number or a caption or something.

The credit card companies have always tried to prevent merchants from doing this by inserting language prohibiting either credit card surcharges or cash discounts into the contract agreements with the merchants. Obviously, credit card companies want to make it easy and convenient for consumers to use their credit cards.

I can’t immediately find it, but at some point I think 10-15 years ago, some merchants sued the credit card companies over this, and they won a court ruling that said that the clauses forbidding cash discounts and surcharging are unenforceable. As a result, merchants are now free to do it, but there are various rules. And some state legislatures have started to get involved with regulating things.

Just to be clear, the astronaut was cleared of wrongdoing, meaning there was no real space crime. The false report charge is an earth crime.

This was the very first time that a space crime was investigated.

For reference, Oklahoma has quite a history with alcohol prohibition. The state retained full prohibition until 1959, some 20 years after the 21st amendment and repeal of the Volstead Act.

Liquor by the drink, aka bars, were not legalized until 1984. Before then you had to pay a membership fee to join a “private club” where you could then have a bartender pour you shots out of “your” personal bottle that was kept behind the bar.

Oklahoma had 3.2 beer until 2018 when it was repealed by state referendum.

this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class,

That’s, uh, not why DoD occasionally sends officers to Harvard and other elite universities. DoD does this because they want some of their officers to have high quality advanced degrees.

“It’s a bit scary to know that the most valuable private company in the world has your address and has shown up and has questions for you,”

That’s how “service of process” works. “Process server” is an entire career for people who figure out how to deliver legal documents to people personally.

OP needs to counter-notice this shit.

They’re all hat and no cattle.

Police reports that support criminal complaints are usually sworn under perjury, or otherwise the officer or complainant is coming into court and testifying directly to what happened.

Either way, the person who swears is responsible for the content of what they testify to.

It’s worse than that. In C++, if you fail to catch an exception, then std::terminate() is called. In Rust the only options are roughly equivalent to C++ noexcept, or std::terminate() [panic in Rust]. There’s nothing in between.

Rust has many container-like objects that may or may contain a value, like Box. Most of these have an unwrap() method that either obtains the inner value or panics the whole application.

Fentanyl the WMD is all over every hospital and nursing home in America. Time to send in the UN inspectors and set up the no fly zones.

The license holder is attaching additional terms and conditions that are incompatible with publicly disclosing the driver source code.

Finally, these two letters, thorn and eth, dropped out of English a long time ago, but they’re still in Modern Icelandic today.

Update: court adjourned for today with no verdict. Jury deliberations will resume tomorrow.

The video clearly showed an intact, wrapped sandwich on the ground after the incident. Nothing “exploded.” The cop lied on the stand (surprise, surprise), and he got called out on it by the defense.
