Elevators are mind-bogglingly safe under normal operating states but that depends on a bunch of things, including lightweight doors. I personally caused a 4 figure service call by accidentally nudging a door with a dolly, causing it to ever so slightly move outside of expected parameters for "door closed". I know of a couple incidents where people caused themselves to get trapped inside simply by leaning against the door, preventing it from opening normally then preventing from returning to it's closed position correctly enough times, causing the controller to just go "gently caress it, lock down mode".

Phanatic posted:Chicago Sun-Times sends a journalist to do yet another "look how easy it is for someone without a criminal record to purchase a rifle" story. Gun store he goes to rejects his purchase because he has an admitted history of alcoholism and charges of domestic violence, journalist spins the story as "look at this conspiracy to not sell guns to journalists." And if he had somehow gotten it he'd be committing a felony, so exactly what his endgame was must not have been thought through.  Apparently the guy is at least a little infamous locally for his drunken wife beating adventures so it's entirely possible someone spotted him and went "oh hey you're the drunk wife beater. Get Out."

Parts Kit posted:Of note is even if the guy hadn't tipped off their wifebeater alert he'd have been denied by the FBI when the background check went through since domestic violence is an automatic fail for those checks. If you're convicted. He wasn't, just charged. The question on the 4473 also refers to being convicted, so he could answer that honestly. There's another question about whether or not you're currently under a TRO, he could probably answer that one too. Looks like his wife dropped the charges and he entered a treatment program. So the background check didn't refuse him, the gun store did because they googled him and found out he was a wife-beating alcoholic. Parts Kit posted:Apparently the guy is at least a little infamous locally for his drunken wife beating adventures so it's entirely possible someone spotted him and went "oh hey you're the drunk wife beater. Get Out." Hell, he wrote a book about his drunken wife-beating adventures. Which is exactly the reason the Sun-Times sent him, of all the reporters they have, to go buy a gun: so that when he passed the background check and bought one they could turn around and point out what a scandal it is that he was able to buy one.

They are banking on you being too intimidated to stand up for your rights. Ask if you are being detained, and if they say no, you are free to leave." The course in question was Introduction to Logic.

The issue is that most of the SovCit bullshit relies on the assumption that cops are lazy and don't want to go through the paperwork to deal with them. When in actuality demanding supervisors and warrants for minor poo poo like traffic stops just makes you look super suspicious. As does invoking the fifth amendment to the question "is this address current".

Kinda sad that kind of publication style has gone out the window for...whatever it is we have now. Sentient Data posted:I think they even had good political coverage. I heard a few months ago that they're looking into removing the porn entirely and just publish it as an actual magazine that focuses on well researched or interesting topics. I personally think that's the smartest thing the company could do. Hell, they should even give it the subtitle "Read it for the articles." for the first couple years Also, they used to interview directors and other creative types about their works in a serious and deep manner that you just don't find nowadays. I think I have a book I got from Half Price Books still that collected all of those. Wow, that's some cheap housing. Also, for a minute I thought her shirt said NWO, which was oddly fitting.

Yeah, from what I understand they seem to think that being a "citizen" means that you are literally owned by a corporation, and that your parents giving you a name is what shackles you to a corporation. But they are "People" and therefore exempt from all of the laws that Citizens are beholden to and that if you go high enough up the chain eventually you'll run into someone who realizes how smart these "People" are for bucking their control and will let them go and do whatever the gently caress they want.

There was a podcast (I think This American Life) that went over border checkpoint protocol. Apparently you can stick a border checkpoint at any point within 100 miles of the border which means brown citizens can be asked for papers well within the country they were born and raised in. And because checkpoints that deep inside the country (including the ocean borders) are stupid, you aren't actually legally required to comply with anything Border Agents ask except to say "yep, I'm a citizen." I don't think you even have to show ID since it's not a police officer, but given the opportunity they'll search your entire car. So it's good to know exactly what's expected of you at a traffic stop because law enforcement is definitely counting on intimidating you.

One time, in Melbourne, we had Australia's answer to INS, Border Force (yes, that's actually its name) try to pull poo poo like that with a huge operation to check all the brown people they could find for unacceptable levels of foreignness. So many people turned out in protest, the Border Force people ended up trapped in their little staging area and had to get police protection.

The sovereign citizen thing is goofy as gently caress but knowing your rights isn't. A few months back, I got into an argument with my now ex-wife and told her she could have my dead grandmother's house "over my dead body" and left the house seething with rage. She called the cops and told them I was threatening to kill myself and that I had a gun. The gun in question was a starter's pistol and I didn't even realize I owned. Five cops eventually surrounded me and questioned me for about 10 minutes. They searched me and my bag, asked me about a "gun" I didn't know about and finally eased up and let me go when I went into my "am I being detained? Am I free to go?" spiel. They could have Baker Acted me and thrown me in jail on nothing more than my evil ex wife's story if they'd wanted to. It sure FELT like the tone of the conversation shifted once I stopped answering their questions and began to ask my own.

Bobby Digital posted:I always wondered why there was a checkpoint like 40 miles north of San Diego. The 100 miles border issue gets conflated quite often on these forums by people who are too busy making fun of Sovereign Citizens to stop and think for a minute. This primer by the ACLU has the most important information, including: ACLU posted:Roughly two-thirds of the United States' population, about 200 million people, lives within the 100-mile zone that an outdated federal regulation defines as the border zone—that is, within 100 miles of a U.S. land or coastal border. If the CBP got their way, two thirds of the population would live in constitution free zones. It's completely ridiculous, and if you think that people are idiots for flexing their rights under those circumstances, then you belong in the IOSM thread.
