I've got a fun question. I got yelled at by the New Hampshire Highway Department this morning for pushing snow into the highway. They threatened that it is illegal but upon review of the laws, I don't think it is. For reference here's the law:quote:NH Rev Stat § 236:19-20(2019) heres a crudley drawn image of the property. the white is the little bit of snow I had in the highway, the black is just covering the highway name: my main issue, and why I do this, is because the highway department doesn't lift their side blades at our driveway whic his at the bottom of a hill; so we get a foot+ of snow and ice on the driveway eveyr morning and im tired of dealing with it for something they could not be lazy about and lift a side blade for a moment. my understanding of that law is that since our property is adjoining the highway and i'm pushing the snow across the traveled service for snow removal, then im not actually doing anything wrong? am i correct in that? Thanks!

Quit pushing snow onto the highway you rear end in a top hat it could cause an accident.

its like a light dusting of snow that won't cause a accident. we're talking the equivalent of backing your car out of your driveway and the remnants of snow that pushes into the highway. Plus there's no wheres else for me to push it unless I push it into the river, which would cause a blockage.

I interpret their usage of 'across' to be as literal as possible. You can push your snow to the other side of the highway but not leave any on the highway. But I'm no loving lawyer. Binfl.

Could you sustain a whole law practice on acting as a consultant for petty children? Are there enough annoyed neighbors, people pissed about fences, building code crazies, people who shovel snow onto the highway, etc. that you could open something like, 'Karen Law' and make a living on that?

There is no shortage of spiteful neighbors. The issue is most spiteful neighbors don't have the money to afford to be a pain in the rear end. You can absolutely be a nuisance lawyer in a rich area, but you'd starve in less affluent areas.

The trick of it is that people who are petty and lovely about dumb things will also be petty and lovely when it comes time to pay their bill, so once they realize they can't bully you into doing what they want they will fire you, grieve you, and/or poo poo talk you to all their friends.

You are allowed to use your plow truck/ tractor/ whatever to push the snow across the street to to the other side. You are not allowed to leave the snow where others might run it over and get into a car accident. My solution to the annoying snow the plow leaves at the end of the driveway was to buy a Kubota and push the snow across the street and piss off the that neighbor. Not sure if that's legal or not. daslog fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Dec 20, 2021 |

Why not just shovel the snow onto the lawn or whatever, there's lots of space in the photo that isn't road.

Simply take your snow-plow offroading on your lawn to push the driveway snow sideways, instead of across the street like every single snowplow does at a T-intersection

Since the plow doesn't raise its side plow iteans there's a permanent four foot high wall of ice that develops around the perimeter. I could lift it and throw it over the snow boundrycbut since it's mostly ice it's heavy. I like the Kubota idea though, Iight do that.

Ah, an ice wall, that sucks. In that case I suggest you get a chainsaw and do filthy ice sculptures from the ice wall. Maybe you can incorporate the even filthier driveway snow into the artwork somehow. Release your inner Calvin & Hobbes.

Anyone asking the question "should I talk to a lawyer about this?" the answer is yes The main issue with employment law is "even if you have a claim, if you file anything they're gonna fire you and it might make your job search difficult going forward." Sounds like you're already gonna be dealing with those issues regardless so it seems unlikely filing an action could make anything worse. Go talk to a lawyer. One friend of mine has won multiple wrongful termination settlements from a series of different jobs. He had to make a slight career change afterward but he would've had to do that anyway and he's like a hundred grand net better off than he would've been otherwise (basically, he got pushed out of two different toxic workplaces doing immigration law, now he does mortgage law and is quite happy and successful).

There are plenty of "Wrongful Termination" success stories, but most all of them begin with a lawyer's assistance, so no reason to feel hopeless

r/legaladvice: [CA]Teen entered my home, disables my security camera and opened/ destroyed my kids Christmas presents. Cops say there’s nothing they can do.quote:Title spells out most of it. He came over. Is seen opening the door with his dog. Then leaves. And hour later hes spotted again coming out of my house (camera missed him entering) and he has rubber gloves and a hoodie on. I call the police when I got the notification of the second video. When I get home my presents are ripped apart, not just wrapping but the boxes as well and my indoor camera was unplugged. Cops said there’s nothing they can do because he’s a minor and all I have is proof he was in my home. No video of him destroying presents. Anyone have advice on what I can do? They also didn’t look for him so I did, he lives two doors down from me and I have two young kids I’m worried for. Thought y'all might get a kick out of this one. Seems like a case of lazy loving cops and/or the cop is familiar with the kid and maybe likes them. Seems like a clear-cut B&E to me?
