How would that work? So to be clear, you agreed to pick up a friend, showed up, their SO was there, threw a fit about you having a dashcam, got in the car with the friend anyways, and is now threatening to sue you or something? I feel like 99% of the problem could've been dealt with by talking to the friend at the time.

As I said, it was hypothetical. They didn't want to shell out for a taxi so they just delt with it and we had an otherwise pleasant ride. I'm just curious about what they could have done legally if they decided to be an rear end about it and had the dough to pursue it beyond what seems reasonable. Florida is a two parry consent state, so how would that work? If you don't want to be recorded but still get in a car you know is recording would you legally be agreeing to be recorded? That's what I'm curious about. e: Now that I think about it, I've had Uber drivers with dashcams that recorded the interior of the car. Does that mean that they are all in the hook for wiretapping? See why I think it's a question worth considering? sleepy.eyes fucked around with this message at 04:29 on May 22, 2020 |

If I had a dashcam, and the SO told me that they didn't consent to being recorded, and I told them that they could choose between that or walking, what mischief could they potentially make if they had more money than God and a vindictive streak a mile wide? They could threaten to call your job and get you fired. They could ask Department of Transportation Special Agents to investigate you. If upon arriving or departing your car moved toward them in any way they could say you tried to run over them and their children. If you expressed a negative emotion toward another driver who was being an rear end in a top hat they could say you were a violent person and harassing them.

They would arrest you for intent to use a motorised vehicle to carry (a motor carrier, if you will) people to their death. Your threats and violence are well known on the forums. The only possible reason for you to have a dash cam is to make snuff films using the federal highway system or its local appurtenances used in interstate commerce.

Actually that makes me wonder. Do legal prohibitions of "recording" (audio I think is the usual thing) without consent (one or two-party) cover live audio feeds in which someone else can hear the audio (and presumably testify later as to what they heard), but no actual recording is made? Suppose I set up a satellite wifi connection (so it's always on, no matter where I drive), and have my dashcam feed sent up to livestream on some website, and I don't ever record the stream it's just transitory, and I admonish and take technical steps to prevent my viewers from recording it either, would I effectively skirt recording consent law, or would a judge raise their eyebrow at me and say "you know what you were doing, pwned" as the slammed down the gavel and sent me to prison?

I received a call from some big shot lawyer in Texas (I'm in Maine) and he told me that my brother had just died. I haven't seen him in years and figured he was already dead. So anyway, the lawyer tells me that my brother was in the oil business and died a rich man. Close to a million bucks as I understand. He left me $35,000. I'm concerned about how much I am going to pay in taxes. If I claim it as regular income, the government is probably going to take a big wet bite out of my rear end. Is there any way I can avoid paying taxes and keep all of it? Every penny? I know the general consensus in this thread is to hire a lawyer, but lawyers are bunch of ball washing bastards, so I'd like to see if there was a cheaper route.

Inheritance taxes are paid by the decedent’s estate, not by the recipient. If he’s claiming you’re going to have to pay income tax on it and wants you to pre pay the income tax by sending him prepaid Walmart cards or amazon gift cards, it’s a scam.

You're right, ID of the declarant (with proper foundation) is a permissible use. However, you're still going to need the declarant there to testify that they didn't consent so it's kinda moot. And if it's to prove a crime, hearsay exceptions won't get you past an absent declarant.

As already pointed out, the premise is wrong to begin with. You don't pay taxes on amounts you inherit. I take payment in cold brewskies. One for each of my fellow posters. Motronic posted:Gifts are not taxable to the recipient, and he was a LONG way off from being rich enough for the estate to owe any taxes. To be fair, I think the estate-level exemption was like $60,000 in the 1940s. incogneato fucked around with this message at 02:54 on May 23, 2020 |

I have an actual legal question: I'm a contractor for a non profit. When covid hit we lost most of our funding and a lot of projects got scrapped/suspended, and they had to suspend our contracts. Since then I've been collecting government funding. Because I now have a huge amount of free time I be been working for free on two of my projects so they don't fall under (environmental research that requires a particular time of year, so if I don't do it it all goes to poo poo for a year and I lose a whole bunch of work). They're somewhat aware of this and don't really care as long as I'm not asking for payment. In the event they cancel our contracts for good, or I find a paying job, who does the research/data belong to? Under the terms of. The original contract it belongs to the non-profit.

Hypothetically, if I am going to do contract work on spec in the hopes of getting paid later - am I committing Unemployment Insurance fraud when I collect money for that work later, after collecting UI while doing the work? A second hypothetical: My bosses laid me off and told me not to work on a patent I was doing at work. But I went home and finished the patent. How much of that patent do I own now?

Honestly can't tell if you're having a go at me but yeah, I guess those are kind of questions I might have. The smart move would be collecting UI/UBI/dole for 11 months a year and then bill for the previous 11 months in December. That has to be against the rules somehow.
