I guess my point is, AFAIK it’s perfectly legal for the police to stop a suspect and tell them they’re stopping them for a “made up reason”, as long as they have an actual legit reason (reasonable suspicion of the person having committed a crime) for detaining them. (and of course don’t actually charge them for the…

Eh, by my count it only seems to be “the law” (that the bar would be liable for the drinkers death) in 15-19 states, which not even half:

Of course not.

However, from a quick scan, in most of those states you are NOT on the hook if the drunk person only kills themselves (as is the case here).

Except, apparently, While in california it’s a misdeamenor to serve somebody who is apparently drunk, the law specifically exempts the server from civil liability:

Eh, just because the laws exist doesn’t make them good laws. As far as I’m concerned, the only people towards whom overservers should have civil liability is anybody ELSE injured by the person who was overserved. Not the person, his estate, his family, etc. (unless, of course, members of the family were injured in the…

It’s been a LOOONG time since I played it, but I vaguely remember part of the reason it rang so permanently is if you were playing normally there’s some sort ultimate skill or weapon or something that you haven’t gotten anywhere near finished acquiring for her. so it always felt like there must be (or have intended to…

So, I have absolutely no intention of playing another of Squares craptastic attempts to do an action RPG hybrid.

Maybe. While it apparently didn’t deter you from being around folks who smoked, (or doing so yourself?) it may have done so for others.

Presumably depends on if they have a warrant to check either his credit records (fat chance without legally ID’ing him) or the parlors records and the parlor is actually keeping his info on record... and even then they’d probably run into the same issue as the camera, of casting too wide a net and surveilling folks in…

The mass murderers who don’t commit suicide are smart enough not to resist. If you resist, you are the one rolling the die. And if you crap out it’s your own damn fault. It’s perfectly clear in the video she is aggressively resisting. And it’s also clear she’s getting up towards the officer when the footage stops and…

Why? The person entirely responsible for the death of the “unborn child” is already dead. What more do you expect, charging the ladies estate with reckless endangerment and manslaughter over the death of the “unborn child”? Giving her corpse a lethal injection?

Counterpoint:

IMO owning anything within ~20 feet of sea level (unless it’s decently far inland) is an absolute mistake. Which is pretty much ALL of Florida. And if you do own, it’s time to sell. Now.

It’s sort of odd, I play lots of these (haven’t spent a penny, after a brief splurge in Fantasica almost a decade ago) and really have no interest for the gameplay, it’s 100% just about relying on luck to (eventually) collect the cool looking units I want through the gambling.

Except that those people themselves are EASY prey for criminals as even in sanctuary regions they are far less likely to go to the police. Those crimes, obviously, go unreported and thus don’t factor into “studies” like this.

Eh, I was under the impression the actual “made-up traffic stop reason” is “because he was the person in the illegally recorded video”.

I think you’re misunderstanding the legalese. The name/identity of the criminal is the information that was discovered during the stop and is being thrown out because the only reason they knew the name of the criminal was due to the illegal stop. If they had also gotten his identity by other (legal) means they…

pieces of evidence can be tossed

Once the Lannisters lay down their weapons and give up the city, everything after that is a war crime
