@East2Neptune@muheediva01 My understanding is you can't just play a video. You have to have the person who either took the video or a custodian of records or sometimes a notarized affidavit. Like if you wanted to play a cop's bodycam, you need the cop. The accused has a right to confront.
@Jiggler9egh@_jwatsonn@muheediva01 We can use a business records affidavit in some cases to get them admitted. Once again, it depends on the circumstances.
@Jiggler9egh@muheediva01 It honestly depends on the type of case. I wasn't saying they would NEVER have to, but it greatly reduces the number of times.
@be_like_ice Mine looked at me through the clear plastic kennel door and started purring like an airplane engine and pawing to get through. Said, "Yep, box him up."
@MeanderingRhode@indexnforgetit I will acknowledge my memory from then is fuzzy. I am not going to continue this line of thought as it is getting personally upsetting trying to remember.
@MeanderingRhode@indexnforgetit By physical tests, which I do not believe are thorough enough. I would rather not be one of the 28 and have family decide.
@MeanderingRhode@indexnforgetit I had a friend who was declared brain dead and still spontaneously breathing. They wanted to harvest his organs, but family said no. (Sorry for all the replies)
@MeanderingRhode@indexnforgetit What is the definition or standard for brain dead, and does it include the nonfunctioning thalamus and cerebrum? How is it measured, and how accurate are the tests?
@backtobish@indexnforgetit It's ambiguous at best. Brain death is not a black-and-white situation. But joining the registry is consent, not from your family.
