Given how many car dealerships seem to operate on the model of "cause the most amount of pain possible", I'm legitimately shocked. That's a hell of a win.

yeah part of it is, the used car market is still insane right now, super inflated, so the dealer probably figures they can get rid of it. Or if they're slightly more ethical, maybe they'd just rather not go on record as being sued for selling lemons. Or maybe you just lucked out and found the one guy in the industry who has a conscience.

blarzgh posted:Rust no longer "occurs" to things??? That damage form is for disclosing things that happened to the car in a single event that should result in a branded title - a tree fell on it, it was flooded, it was crashed. A car that didn't have road salt washed off in the winters and rotted away over 15 years is considered normal wear and tear for some areas, and wouldn't be a branded title event until someone decides to take it to a junkyard to be crushed. To be perfectly clear, car dealers have carved out such wide leeway in the laws that apply to them that they can legally sell poo poo like this with a straight face. They're allowed to tell you whatever the gently caress they want verbally and then hand you a contract that says anything they verbally told you was an unenforcable lie and this is just considered "normal". They are the absolute dregs of society and they're so loving influential on local politics that nobody sees fit to actually fix this.

Have any of you heard of TurnSignl? It's supposed to be an app that puts you on a live video call with a traffic attorney when you get pulled over. I've had friends reach out to me and ask if they're legit but I haven't heard of them till this week.

And if the cops don't just beat the poo poo out of the guy or shoot him because his phone is somehow a deadly weapon. But at least his corpse will have any charges dismissed!

What advice would a lawyer have for a traffic stop except “shut the gently caress up and give him your license and registration” anyway?

FrozenVent posted:What advice would a lawyer have for a traffic stop except “shut the gently caress up and give him your license and registration” anyway? Yeah, I'm not sure what legal advice there is to give. As far as I understand it as a layman, the time to argue is at court. During a traffic stop, the universal advice is going to be, 'do what's requested of you. Answer questions reasonably. Don't say poo poo otherwise'.

"Do you know why I pulled you over?" " Because I was _______." " Thanks. Now that I got you on video admitting you were doing what I pulled you over for, or even for something else I didn't know about, we won't have any trouble getting a conviction later."

Might help people who can’t shut the gently caress up when they’re nervous to have someone there guiding them through the experience

I'm curious if there's a mechanism for registering a creative work in the public domain? Would that possibly be a step to help prevent copyright trolls asserting copyright over a work?

I can’t find the video now but my favorite traffic cop video was one where after the prosecutor had rested, the defense moved for a directed verdict because the prosecutor had failed to elicit testimony establishing the identity of the defendant as the person pulled over in the dash cam, and the video they played in court didn’t have any audio of the person saying their name. We could see in the video that he took the license and ran it, and that’s how they got here. But very funny watching the prosecutor flail around. Judge granted the directed verdict. Anyone have something similar where an opponent hosed something up that immediately lost for them?

My one experience in traffic court is the judge letting the prosecutor take time to figure out if they could charge me with something else since the ticketed offense didn’t apply on private property

I meant to register a work as being public domain. Things like Cc licensing still retain rights and attach conditions. I was thinking having something registered as being public domain could help prevent some other jerk coming along g and claiming rights over a work, and suing other folks that have used it.

Part of why the CC licenses or MIT license exist (copycenter) licenses is because the concept of public domain isn't universal. Using licenses that approximate it effects the same result.

B33rChiller posted:Sorry, I was unclear. You can’t register something as public domain - public domain literally means that it isn’t registered or registrable by anyone. Copyleft is the closest answer, where you register something and freely license your rights, but that’s not the same. (Assuming a totally open license like the CC0 license.) And it doesn’t carry any benefit in a “don’t let others register” sense because it’s not any stronger against a copyright than the original public domain work is. It’s even hard (in practice) to abandon a registered copyright. (See Fagundes and Perzanowski.) More practically, you’re asking how to prevent people from abusing lawsuits and that’s a non-trivial problem to solve.
