Space Gopher posted:Most doctor's offices, especially specialists, are also tiny businesses with only one or two administrative staff, frequently without much education past high school. Sometimes that means that they can be flexible and understanding, but more often, it means that they gently caress up basic things because of their own biases, misunderstandings, and very limited training. Depending on BonerGhost's gender, there's probably either homophobia or "oh, little lady, don't you understand that you're your husband's property now, and he controls you and your money?" going on, along with plain old incompetence about how to use what's certain to be an overcomplicated and poorly designed practice management system.

They're only looking for evidence that you can be blackmailed, a billing fuckup is unlikely to do that especially if you have evidence of savings etc IANAL but this is terrible advice. Some of the people you see in those adjudications have spent months or even years out of work while that process works it's way through the system. Even if you succeed at adjudication, it can absolutely be a career ender because you miss key promotion timelines or duties. Do what you can to keep your credit squeaky clean.

I am not a lawyer, but if I post on line, "Yeah you should fuckin' murder that person they're a piece of poo poo and death is an easy solution to your problem." or like "The only way to fix climate change is to start blowing up oil refineries and cow fields." How "on the hook" am I if someone, the mad lad, actually does it. Does where I say it matter? Like if I say it on discord in a private message does that hold more culpability. Is it a state thing or a federal thing? I do a lot of ironic poo poo posts so I'm wondering what the actual harm is.

What happens to abandoned vehicles? I had to get a car towed from my parking lot today that had been there 2 weeks. I’d hoped the owner would come get it, but they left no contact info or anything so I called the city to see what to do. They told me to call a towing company since it was on private property. The towing company came and got it, no problem, but looking around online it seems like it’s fairly straightforward to get the title to an abandoned car. Could I have done that and then sold the car, or is it much more complicated than that? Presumably the towing company notifies law enforcement, holds onto the car for however long they are required to and then sells it? I’m mostly just curious at this point-I’m perfectly happy to just have the vehicle gone. I’m in Alabama if that’s relevant.

My MIL received a citation for driving with an expired license (also speeding, possibly exaggerated but I doubt there is much that can be done about that). I suspect her real crimes were driving through a lovely tiny Texas speed trap city with out of state plates and having a foreign accent, but that's a separate rant. Her license has an expiration date of 2024, which eagle-eyed observers might note is in the future. The officer basically shrugged and said "that's not what the computer says, take it up with the court." Upon calling the local court, we were told that charges would be dismissed if we provided documentation from her home state's DMV and paid a fee. Not that the US justice system isn't hosed from the top down in ways far more twisted than this, but it boggles my mind that a little old lady needs to pay court fees to resolve the officer's computer glitch. Is there an actual legal justification for this beyond "gently caress you for making us do stuff?"

Don’t speed in texas anywhere outside of the freeways in DFW/Houston/San Antonio/Austin. Cops in texas are dicks. Set your cruise to the speed limit. There is no wiggle room when texas highway patrol decides to pull you over. My stepdad, a florida driver, gets pulled over all the time in texas and bitches to me about it. 100% of the time he’s speeding. Don’t speed in texas. All of your problems with getting pulled over are solved. No one is going to stop texas cops from pulling people for doing 72 in a 70 or 37 in a 35. They will gladly cite you and cash the check for those 2 over.

Did you ask how much the "fee" was - typically compliance dismissals are like $10.00. And yes, the local government code allows for the charging of small administrative fees for administrative dismissals; however if she requested a Court date, and had the prosecutor dismiss it, typically there isn't any compliance dismissal.

This wasn't TSP, this was the local police. This town is a notorious speed trap which, unfortunately, is difficult to bypass to get from her city to ours (taking the interstate adds 2 hours to the trip). The speed limit drops drastically in 4 or 5 steps over a very short distance, and the police are very aggressive about catching people right at the transitions. There's a bit more to the story, but it's a poor small town that makes a lot of money off of lighting up passing motorists. Fighting the speeding ticket is DOA so I wasn't even going there. One of the other small towns on the same route made national news for their, uh, enthusiasm for asset forfeiture. Particularly when the driver was a person of color.

Thanks, I guess this makes sense (and yeah, it's nominal - $20 or $25). Probably better than her driving 3 hours each way to get to court. The principle just irked me and I was wondering if it was worth making a stink about. Discussion Quorum fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Dec 5, 2019 |

Sounds a whole lot like Caldwell to me. Seems like everyone I know has gotten a ticket in Caldwell at that drat light right on the turn where it drops from 70 to 35. No need to confirm if you don't want, I'm just personally having flashbacks to when I frequently drove through.

I suppose there's no harm in confirming the fine municipality of Corrigan as the city in question. Oddly, Timpson is on the same route and I don't think it's nearly as bad. Corrigan is crawling with police in all-black, late-model SUVs. Not sure I've ever seen police in Timpson. FWIW MIL doesn't deny that she was speeding - she thinks she missed a sign because of a semi in the right lane - but the speed on the citation (1 mph over the level where fines increase sharply) and the license hassle seem a bit

I've had a complaint made against me as a staff member by a student. Since this is actually loving my life up I would like some legal help. I don't know for sure yet but I think the complain is a complaint of assault, which is defamatory since it was a mutual game of wrestling and she happened to get hurt. Something that didn't seem to bother her after when we were on the sofa together. The university I am studying at are taking it very seriously though and so am I, even though I am pretty sure I am going to win this battle I would like some legal help for when this is over because I would like to counter this with some sort of complaint against the university/her.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3905710 I don't know how much backstory to give but I'm a student/staff member and have had a complaint made against me by another student. It is early days yet and I don't know what the complaint it yet but I think it's a complaint of assault. I don't need any help with the ongoing issues but I would like help with filing a complaint against the university in their handling of the case and against her for the defamatory complaint.
