More like a Lancair GT. 

Variable pitch props exist and it looks like that plane had one. C-130, for example, has them as they operate where there are no ground tugs to push them back.

Fellow MoDOT fan! I saw them rework I-70 along Cool Valley for “safety” reasons. Over the several years it took I spent what would have been 20 years of traffic jams, saw several cars overturned, and a spectacular bridge collision because the effectively lowered the Hanley overpass before they finally lowered I-70W…

Were crime reported as in other areas STL would be down 30 places or so in the ratings. Most of the violent crime is in a few square miles in north STL and a few square miles of south STL.

St. Louis has a notable history of screwing owners of towed cars. It even got the Chief of Police fired because the tow lots had a deal of slow-rolling recovery efforts until the storage fees were more than the claimant would pay. Various members of the police force would put in orders for friends and family and wait…

It looks like the legal team (company lawyer) retaliated after she complained. De Niro’s behavior was not found excessive, but the claimed retaliation was.

So long.

Do we? If the money is in a local credit union then it’s FU, go open an account in a national bank being intentionally avoided, transfer a lot of money to it, then withdraw it elsewhere and expect not to have Feds looking at that suspicious banking behavior?

If you were injured on the property your parents could have sued for millions of dollars, stealing hundreds of thousands in legal fees from the property owner even if your parents lost. The arson doesn’t seem harmless, but maybe you lucked out. I don’t think the shotgun approach was a good one, but each child was a…

There is due process - the money is charged with a crime and fails to defend itself in court. The former holder can file in support of the money but that requires a lawyer and a filing fee at the Federal level and then wait for several years to get on the docket.

X-ray finds the cash, TSA tips off the DEA, who promises to fist search all your orifices and then put you in a cell with a guy nicknamed Rabid Horse until they can arraign you, but maybe that will take several days because of paperwork problems.

Many people won’t take a cashier’s check and you cannot negotiate a price with a cashiers check. Those checks are trivial to forge; a lot of people are heading to auctions. 100% the cops would be spiteful and hold the check for 90 days, or “lose” it, to prove authenticity, spoiling the sale anyway.

CAF is a legal/law response to the problem of found items that can be linked to a crime, such as the cash found at a drug dealer’s house but without a link to a person. However, when the cash is literally removed from a person’s possession there isn’t the lack of a link - either charge the person with the crime and…

Doesn’t matter. They can turn it over to the city or state or feds and then get an “unrelated” cash award next year for general excellence in policing or as a pay increase.

There is a plan to add a roof/screening over the bridge. 

Oh, no! Up to 5,000 people who wouldn’t pay to see it might see it for free? Maybe don’t take over a public place a long time prior to the event.

Police can enforce movement; the screen is just cheaper than police overtime pay.

They confuse “union” and “Union” all the time. Don’t want them Union fellas tellin’ how to run things.

Unless the litigant lies. Then they can rule on a hypothetical, even when the lie is glaring.

It was originally - mid 1700s - used to confiscate valuable items when the owners were unwilling to come forward to claim them - such as pirate ships. This was perverted into the general practice of stealing items of lesser value when the ownership was clear and the owners were coming forward.
