In the US, depending on where you live, criminal records are available online in various degrees of completeness. So Google wherever + criminal records or arrest records or whatever other terms. Look for something official

Oh believe me, I've tried. I can find when court was held for them but nothing else. Posting here is my last ditch effort to satisfy my gnawing curiosity.

That was so embarrassing.

Why don't you ask the source of the original data regarding the trial in question? Like, if Jerry mentioned that your girlfriend was involved in some charges, go ask Jerry, duh.

What did your girlfriend do to Jerry? The legal minds in this thread crave closure. I lost a hearing against a charity today and my client will be paying 13k additional US dollars. Can I claim that as a tax write off?

If you mean my story, it's all public. My job involves condemning land for road projects. The road authority hires appraisers to appraise the value of the land being acquired fit right of way and diminution in value to the property as a result if the acquisition. We take our appraiser before an independent panel who decide how much money the property owner should get. In this case, the charity was along the expanding road. They asked for more than had been offered at the hearing. The independent panel agreed and awarded them more money.

Xander77 posted:Sup. Israeli goon here. tl;dr version in advance - I wrote a facebook post describing how a sales person cursed me and threw me out of the store, and now I'm about to get hit with a defamation suit. In any case. It seemed as though the threat was just empty bluster, since it's been almost a year with no action on their part. And then (dum dum dum........): The store's official facebook account commented on my initial review, calling me a human being.. Would that be reason enough to sue the poo poo out of them, had this taken place in the United States?

In some states in the US (California in particular), anti-SLAPP laws have been used to bring a suit against someone threatening SLAPP litigation. I don't know the exact result of these cases, but Mark Randazza brought one, I think, and he's generally seen as knowing what he's doing in that realm. SLAPP suits are "strategic lawsuits against public participation" aka "filing lawsuits against customers who complain your product sucks." Anti-SLAPP laws are one of the better developments in the law here in the last 25(ish?) years.

Xander77 posted:(Check the original post for a longer, dumber version) No you can't sue someone for call you human being in America. You'd likely have to prove that they were trying to convince people you were actually gay, rather than using a childish insult At least In Texas, anti-slapp is a motion to dismiss, so you gotta be sued first.

NancyPants posted:I really wanted a story in which you sued an orphanage. In Texas you don't really "sue" the condemnee (the person who's 'graciously donating' their land to the public). The taking of the land just sort of occurs, the State always has to pay, and so the State offers the landowner a certain amount of money. If they decline that amount, then the state and the landowner go to a county commissioners' hearing where a panel of three "experts" (very loose term) hear each side argue about the value of the property and they decide on the dollar amount the State has to pay. If either side doesn't like the commissioners' decision, they can sort of appeal it to the local County Court, called "objecting to the award' and repeat the process in front of a Judge and a Jury and see if they like the outcome there better.

Technically, blarzgh, it's not county commissioners. It's three disinterested real property owners who reside in the county who serve as Special Commissioners. They're usually quite good, depending on the county. Tarrant, Denton, and Dallas have some who have done 500+ hearings. Also, he's right. I don't technically sue them - it's an administrative hearing under the authority of the county courts at law. But yeah, it was a meals on wheels. Gotta build them roads y'all.

There is a company that keeps calling my cellphone to try and sell me health insurance and has been doing this for nearly a year. This number is enrolled in the Federal Do Not Call Registry. I've never done business with this company before and its employees don't follow any of the laws related to telemarketing. This company was operating under a fictitious name and I managed to track down the LLC behind the name using the Department of State's database. The information I found included the registered agent and authorized persons. Basically I want this company to stop calling me and be held accountable for their actions. What should my next step be?

Obviously, you'll probably want to talk to a lawyer to get your options, but this might be some nice beer money for you.

THREAD SUCCESS STORY! I just had an account sent to collections, after I received a statement that said zero balance due. I literally save every piece of paper I'm ever mailed regarding bills. Apparently the gas company at my old home billed me$25 bucks after they told me it was settled and never sent a new bill. I literally used to practice FDCPA law, but I don't really care about damages. Should I handle it myself and tell them to get lost and erratics l waive the fee, or should I shop it to an FDCPA lawyer?

I work in probation Intake, and had a novel question from an offender this morning. He was just sentenced after pleading to a felony, but had voted before the plea. Does the status get counted on election day, or at the time of voting? I doubt I'll see him again, but it made me curious. I'm not an agent, and the one agent I asked said she wasn't sure either. (I deflect all touchy questions as I'm not trained in the details). Edit: Just got an answer from elsewhere, but it was interesting so I thought I would share. Voting precinct staff person I know said our state (WI) doesn't technically have early voting, it has in-person absentee voting. His ballot will be checked against a register of ineligible voters and discarded, as it is processed by staff. Not sure if he could/would be charged with fraud, as he was not ineligible on the date submitted. Arkhamina fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Nov 1, 2016 |
