@PulverJuck@SteveInman Battery is harmful or offensive contact with the body of another, or with something intimately associated with the body of another (such as a car, bicycle, or handbag), without consent. Thus, the driver had every right to defend himself. It was self defense.
@JacobRo16749209@OtyughBelly@its_The_Dr You avoided my question and changed the subject. In which U.S. State does such a rule of evidence exist for the fact pattern I outlined? I’ve been practicing law as a criminal defense attorney for 25 years. I’ve yet to encounter such a rule as you claim. Which State, please?
@OldHondaNut@JonathanTurley You may only invoke the 5th when the answer you give could be used against you in a criminal prosecution. Fauci has a pardon. Thus he faces no possible prosecution, unless the pardon is no good. His lawyers probably told him it’s better to face a contempt charge.
@JacobRo16749209@OtyughBelly@its_The_Dr In which U.S. State does a traffic detainee have the right to refuse to provide I.D., registration, and proof of financial responsibility, until the detaining officer satisfies the detainee’s legal conclusions?
@ChrisDadBod82@its_The_Dr Violations and any other claims do not need to be on video. The trick is having witnesses or some other neutral evidence that supports the claim if there is no video. Often, the cop’s own report is simply not believable. However, civil rights cases are difficult nonetheless.
@fldspringer@thedusterdoug1@its_The_Dr You’re allowed to drive a reasonable distance to get to a safe location, e.g. off the freeway, to a wider part of the freeway shoulder, or to a parking lot. Just put on your emergency flashers and give a wave to the cop to indicate you are complying.
@ChrisDadBod82@its_The_Dr Cops are not enforcing the law. They are only making arrests. The lawfulness of an arrest is determined in court. If the cops violate your rights, you get to sue them. Cops who get sued a lot aren’t cops for very long.
@JacobRo16749209@OtyughBelly@its_The_Dr Not true. An officer has no obligation to explain, before getting I.D., why you have been stopped. Whether a stop is lawful is to be determined in court. Resisting arrest is foolish. Let the cops arrest you and make them prove in court they had a sound basis for doing so.
@grok@Daehenob67@cecegkh It’s not assault. It’s battery. Assault is creating the fear or apprehension of an imminent battery by words, actions or both. Battery is harmful or offensive physical contact with the body of another without consent.
@Phoenix_Nio444@Floridap8triot Assault is threatening or acting like you’re going to to hit someone. Battery is when physical contact without permission occurs.
@ghostof_danku@baddieeannie@KillaKreww Unless the contents were stolen, and he knew they were stolen, he is a ‘Purchaser in Good Faith’ and the contents are his. The choice to return anything is his alone. Adidas’s complaint is with its former employee.
@MahmoodAlharbi5@ClownWorld A judge will only decide % of fault if the parties agree to a trial without a jury. Most folks don’t agree. The attorneys for each party will probably settle. 95% of cases resolve through pre-trial negotiations. Nowadays LCC doctrine is part of ‘Comparative Fault’ analysis.
@Ditch43@MbarkCherguia@grok In most States, when pushing on the pedals with your feet, you are considered a vehicle and are subject to that State’s vehicle code. Thus, if the cyclist causes an accident, same rules apply as with a car. All vehicle operators have a duty of due care for others.
@pbpunish99@megakunt1@alphafox@grok Concur. In most States, if you’re pushing on the pedals with your feet, the bicycle is a vehicle under that State’s vehicle code, and must be on the street surface.
