I think the confusion stems from the author of the MLive article. Now there’s another MLive article from the same author that says Rickett instead of Lee, and Rickett does have a sidewalk for a stretch by Mission. I think someone needs to request the police report. That county unfortunately does not have reports…

Pretty much. It’s an odd thing to made a stand over.

That’s the side street she turned onto. The MLive article says she was running on Lee Road when the cop first approached her, which does have a sidewalk.

Yeah, it’s pretty heartless work. I understand defending against frivolous claims, but when it’s something as obvious as permanent injury (though “permanent” is something people love to debate), it should be a much more streamlined process.

In that case, it was great. Insurance companies try to find ways to weasel out of honoring their contracts with the average person all the time. We made sure they don’t do that. You haven’t seen victim-blaming until you deal with insurance companies.

Since you seem to support multi-billion collar insurance companies screwing over the little guy, I’ll take that as a complement.

The statute currently says it’s not, but you can attempt to interpret it however you want.

I get what you’re saying, but this is a different situation.

It does.

Well, breaking the law certainly counts as “something”.

Telling a cop to not touch you when you’ve broken the law despite repeated warnings is.

False.

I am not surprised, because I used to sue insurance companies for a living, often on those technicalities.

It’s illegal in some states. For example, the state of Washington specifically addresses this:

This falls under “publicity release”, which is not protected by fair use.

I...thought he was breaking up something else. Carry on my (not) wayward son.

Taco Bell has a 2 chalupa/2 soft taco combo? Damn, son. brb tacos.

This is beautiful. We all need to strive for this level of pun.

I’m satisfied that I’m no longer forced to creep everyone’s social interactions.
