The information given in the post isn't enough to go on for if the person in Story 37 actually was drunk driving or not, only that the case had reason to be thrown out on Fourth Amendment grounds. As far as the lawyer in question may have known, his client could have been fully innocent anyway or been guilty as sin, but given it wasn't relevant to the case, they didn't bother arguing it, nor did they share that with us due to A) attorney-client privilege and B) it not being relevant to the story outside of that being what the cop put him away for after the traffic stop.

This right here! The rules are there for a reason because otherwise people could be pulled over, searched, detained, arrested, ect for any arbitrary reason. If the officer goes about it the wrong way unfortunately even if the person is entirely guilty it becomes irrelevant. Now that’s looking at things in just black and white but the reality of life is much more complex than that. As you even pointed out there are many things that can trip a breath test even if you haven’t been drinking. Just like there are many other examples of things just like that making it absolutely necessary for there to be more evidence and context. Although like I said before it all becomes irrelevant if the officer makes an illegal stop or search. Sadly most people don’t understand that bad police work isn’t just bad because innocent people get arrested but also because it invalidates a case even if it’s against someone who is entirely guilty. Unfortunately it has to go both ways or it doesn’t work at all.

Story 6: Going 5 over is cheaper in every way than going 17 over

Story 37 something happened similarly to me. Was driving a friend home from my house and had a moth hit my windshield and my wipers didnt clean the guts off so i pulled over and started cleaning it off with a napkin and a water bottle. A cop pulled up while i was cleaning the moth off and made me get into my car, ran my liscense, got us out of the car, searched my car, ran me through field sobriety tests, and eventually ticketed me for no seatbelt worn before telling me to leave and put my seatbelt on. Went to court had dashcam video (interior/exterior video dashcam) and my passenger's statement of events provided to the judge and my ticket was tossed out and judge didnt seem too pleased with the situation. (Seatbelts worn by both of us until i got out to clean the moth off after pulling over and parking which was before the office pulled up behind me. Then the camera shows the officer pull up and order me into my vehicle before he approached my car all while having his lights on.) Few years ago the whole department was closed as it was found after an investigation many officers pulled over high end or nice looking vehicles at night and searched them illegally always using the excuse the reason for the stop was "suspicious persons/vehicle matching the description" and drivers were being ticketed with things that would be dismissed pretty easily when the cops couldnt find anything to arrest the person on. Things looked normal until you dug into the various stops being performed and saw that there was an unusually high amount of times the generic "suspicious vehicle/person matching description" excuse was used for initiating a traffic stop.

Yeah true. Idk. Personally I'd prefer to give more rights to the defendant because while letting someone go for drunk driving isnt right, it's a lot easier for cops to keep the general populous in check rather than for us to keep them in check. It's not impossible for us to do it, but it's quite literally their job to keep us in check, and they should be doing it properly as to not impede on the rights of the citizens. The options are: Letting some people go because you didnt follow proper procedure, or letting the cops search anyone for any reason. It's a choice, yes, but personally I'd go with the first option. The second sounds almost... germany circa 1940.

@TyroRNG

Ай бұрын

The us has the fourth amendment which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. Stemming from some old English case about right to privacy and such. For most searches you need a warrant but in traffic stops you only need probable cause. (The suspect has committed an offense or you have reasonable suspension of criminal activities) In this case the only reason the officer pulled him over was something that happens frequently and had no connection to the suspicious activities they were looking for. If the court would allow an officer to pull someone over for such a common action that would give the officers too much power to violate privacy. Now had the officer followed the car and noticed it swerving across the road, speeding or whatever, that would have given them probable cause for the search.

@randomguyontheinternet5030

Ай бұрын

@@Eradikateu Nope not in America. In the US an officer can only pull someone over if there is reasonable suspicion. This is guaranteed in the 4th amendment which lays out what "Unreasonable search and seizure" means. The amendment was included in the original ten by the founding fathers because under British rule at the time, police had a lot of power and often abused this power by doing completely unnecessary searches. "General warrants" were issued commonly for things like the perceived suspicion of being political enemies to the state and it gave them the ability to search anything that belonged to the person until the investigation was over. Another were writs of assistance which were mainly used in the colonies and gave royal officials the permission to preform warrantless searches for untaxed items. The founding fathers saw this as impeding the rights of a citizen in trying to lead an upstanding life and ultimately that someone is innocent until proven guilty, and that you cant invade the privacy of a citizen on a baseless assumption that they might be doing something wrong.

OK story 37. The guy being drunk may be bad and I say that with air quotes, but that is not the story here. That cop is pulling over random people simply for being in that location. If that sort of behavior is going to be acceptable then you are not safe in your personal possessions. That’s why it’s a fourth amendment violation. Put it this way if he spent five minutes watching the guy and observed anything that looks like drunken behavior. He would’ve had a reason to pull him over. He didn’t do that what he was doing was violating the guys rights end of story

Story 35 I would be visibly confused in mock trials for losing points on not calling an "asked and answered" objection. The point was not to say anything. It's better for your case to shut up and sit down. Someone who realizes that deserves the points the most.

Story 16; you'd be amazed how much leniency you get when you don't contest things that aren't overly major. I got a massive reduction in fine with the following exchange "how would you like to plead?" "well, I'd _like_ to plead not guilty, but..."

7:30 it's an HOA. It deserves to lose every case in existance.

Story 37 feels like a perfect example of 2 wrongs don't make a right. The defendant was definitely guilty of driving over the limit, Wrong. The officer then did the worst possible thing and went after a rando for suspicion of doing something not illegal because he didn't seem to belong there... Yeah thats wrong 2 and that there kills the right.

Story 16: Sometimes it pays to be honest.

Years ago we were commercially fishing in Alaska. It can get very competitive and a lot of the best fishing is right against the boundary line. We were very frustrated that the fisheries police were hassling people who were just barely legal instead of people who were very obviously and blatantly illlegaly fishing. So we said screw it. We went several miles inside of the boundary line. To our consternation, rather than ticket the obviously illegal fishermen we were boarded and ticketed with misdemeanor criminal charges. We had to fly back to Alaska during winter for the trial. The state trooper I testified that his current memory was better than the notes he took at the time. And we asked him why he wrote our coordinates both forwards and backwards. He said that he wasn't sure which was which. That barely got us an acquittal. Because the judge said he basically believed all fishermen were crooked and so he had to grudgingly give us the benefit of the doubt. That is part of why I'm a lawyer today. We couldn't have been more honest and the law hassle dust instead of the people who were blatantly fishing crooked. the cop contradicted himself and admitted on the stand that he didn't know the very basics of the law he was pretending to enforce.

The bad Mexican restaurant owner case: Cinco de Mayo is actually celebrated more in America than in Mexico. It is somewhat like St Patrick’s Day - celebrated very differently in its home country than here. A good analogy would be an American holiday celebrating the Battle of New Orleans. Mexico’s Independence Day is on September 16th. They actually celebrate for the entire month of September. The Battle of Puebla (celebrated as Cinco de Mayo) happened literally years after Mexico achieved independence from Spain. It was actually a dispute over a debt Mexico owed to France.

While driving a car my dad bought off of the company he worked for, I had an RCMP officer just about wreck pulling a u-turn to chase me down. I was young (but so was he TBH) and he wouldnt believe me that according to the sleedometer, I wasn't speeding. He even tried to make it *MY* fault he made a poor choice amd almost wrecked making the u-turn. I had a suspicion, so I got the same court-recognized company that certifies the RCMP speedometers to certify that car. It was significantly out low - in my favour. I went to court withnthe officially stamped report in my hand. I tried to talk to the prosecutor and he wouldnt listen to a thing. Court was going long - into everyones lunch, in particular the judge. Mine was pretty near the end of morning docket, if not the last case on docket before lunch break. The prosecutor went through their entire routine, figuring this was an aur tight case. The judge asked if I had anything to say, so I said I did amd that I had proof that at the time, the speedometer was significantly under reporting, whichbInwas unaware of, that I had told the RCMP officer and the prosecutor as well, but here we were on his lunch. He asked for the report, I provided it, he looked briefly at it, did some math and realized I was at or UNDER the speed limit at the time according to the speedometer, thew it out and glared at the RCMP officer and prosecutor and said "NOW can I go to lunch? I'm STARVING." The prosecutor tried to give me shit for not showing him before, but I stated loudly enough for the judge to hear yet again that I had tried and he had arrogantly brushed me off. I think there was some drama after that. I never fixed it, I just mentally subtracted the measured amounts for the different speed ranges and never had another problem.

44:00 Typical lawyer behaviour stealing other people’s parking spots.

Story 28 where they had obvious justification to take the fingerprints without a warrant but applied for and instantly got a warrant: exactly. If your case is so obviously correct that you can get a warrant in seconds, you should be required to get that warrant because obviously spending those seconds is a trivial impact. If you can't afford to spend the time it would take to get a warrant then your case must be relatively weak which is all the more reason to have a judge look closely and make a careful and deliberate decision whether to grant the warrant. Literally the only time you shouldn't get a warrant is when it's an immediate life it death case. Ironically exactly when you would be most willing to risk getting your evidence thrown out IE the evidence was thrown out but at least we stopped him from literally murdering someone.

Preliminary hearing on probable cause. Cross examination of a cop who said something stupid. I started to follow up and the judge said, “Counselor, do you want to quit while you re ahead?” “Yes your honor, yes I do.”

Not a lawyer but was the one who was being unlawfully evicted because they wanted to renovate our apartment after we had massive water damage after we had signed a new lease but before it went into affect. They legally can not do that. Our new lease started on June 1st they were waiting us out trying to get us to just give up but in the mean time were still accepting our rent check. Once they realized that wouldn’t look good for them in court they cut off our ability to pay our rent then tried to evict us for non payment. however they had messed up and 1. Accepted rent from us after the new lease was supposedly no longer valid. So if we didn’t have a valid lease why were they allowing us to pay rent? And then 2. They failed to fix a fire alarm that had been shorted out due to water damage. We had emails they knew about it and they would let maintenance know. I had emails from maintenance saying they fixed it. Then had photos that clearly showed no one had even touched it since I had put tape across it with the date (and had the date and time of when it was taken) and then I also had photos after they claimed it was fixed with the tape clearly never being moved. Ran into the fire marshal who was at the complex for another matter. Asked him if it would be against code to have a non functioning alarm that was clearly water damaged and not fixed. He was very much not happy. Sent an email to the complex with us CCd on it and demanded it to be fixed. We also finally forced the complex to honor the original lease after proving what they were doing was illegal. Ya, judge wasn’t happy with them for admitting they accepted rent when they claimed we had no valid lease.

With all these cops and other idiots lying on the witness stand, it makes me wonder whether perjury is no longer prosecuted.

If the restaurant refuses to compensate for all the hours needed to clean up then they could just as easily leave the work only a third finished and let the health inspector do the rest of the judgment.

I represented a mentally unstable ex wife on a contempt of court charge. She lost custody of the children in a hearing in which I was not her lawyer. Outside the court door she assaulted the ex husband, seized the children, took a cab to his office and trashed it. She got off the contempt charge on a technicality. Another man I represented was jointly charged with rape. He was on bail and kept turning up to court drunk, having had a breakfast of Carlsberg Special. Despite warnings, he kept turning up to court drunk and opened his big mouth during jury selection. He was convicted and got 5 years. I wasn't sorry for him.

I'm defending in a home invasion robbery case. The victim is on the stand: Me on Cross: Are you sure it was my client? I mean it was dark, right? Witness/Victim: I'm 80% sure. Me: No further questions, Your Honor. Verdict: Not guilty Why? Only evidence was the eyewitness/victim's ID. Only 80% sure? Not proof beyond and reasonable doubt.

32:30 this is literally a crazy story.

Story 28, respect to the cop for saving this guy's life. Now if only there were no stories of corrupt or lying police in here.

The 55 tocket can be better then a higher speed ticket

Story 25. Could be that the cop wanted the guy to go free. Not every day you see someone arrive to traffic court in a suit. And it's out of his jurisdiction.

Thanks Mr.Sparked! A XL size upload!

Story 15/2: while the state doesn't "own" the information itself, it sure has a responsibility to not hand it out to others the same way companies aren't allowed to either with information they got from eg customers

Not many know this, but there’s a rule of thumb when it comes to speeding tickets you can issue tickets to people going over the speed limit by so much but you really don’t have to as long as they’re not going so much over the speed limits if they’re going like a little bit over then it’s OK but if it’s too much over then you can write them a ticket and also if they’re going to speed limit just to match the speed of traffic you also don’t have to issue a ticket and you should not because you would have to do it to everyone since they’re all going around the same speed to match traffic even though it’s over the speed limit

No, if you agree to a fight and travel there willingly its 50/50 the 2 individuals took equal responsibility for WHATEVER happens there was no assault this was a mutually agreed upon duel it should have never went to court. Also if your that bad at combat stay home.

The cohabitation thing is wild to me. So if after the break up you get a room mate because money is tight you're fine, but the moment you also date that room mate, you lose alimony? Weird that.
