Drunken employee pops cap in server

kain preacher

@Code Monkey

No wonder there are so many shootings in the US. I'd much rather live somewhere with decent gun control so I can get pissed in comparative safety.

Um just a few things. So you mean to tell me that if you had a gun and got pissed you would act the same way ?? More people in the US are killed by drunk drivers then people getting drunk and shooting other people. Oh and must gun violence in the US is done by people who are not allowed to have guns .

the magic number is now $5,000 or if the bank feels some thing is wrong. Banks have reported folks for as little as $3,000. I believe there is no way to transfer US dollars from a bank with out swift knowing .

Most prisons in the US are run by the government . Prisons run by corporations in the US are not as common as some posters here think.

Oh to the people that think this device is barbaric you need to look at the alternative of not using this device . In places like the yard this is how it works when a fight breaks out . When the guard sees a fight he sounds an alarm. Any one still standing when the alarm goes off gets shot . In confined areas they send in a team. Any one still standing when the alarm goes off gets hit with a night stick.

Cell extractions. This when a prisoner refuses to come out of the cell. There are two options .

Option one the use of force. You have a cell extraction time rush in and use night sticks to get to comply , at this point he is dragged out and cuffed . Option two. You toss pepper spray in the cell. When the prisoner can't take it any more and comes out , the prisoner will be slammed to the ground and then cuffed .

@Tom 79

Its not consider dubious expenses its considered theft and at $20k the board cant hide that. if some from the out side were to find out, the board could get into trouble. Lets see thats embezzlement , not paying income tax and possible money laundry. What happened is the lawyers said we need to do some thing about this . You combine this with the sexual harassment claim and you cant see why they got rid of him. You still think it's another motive ??

Oh and for the 700k, he lied to the IRS and didn't steal from the company.

Taser

Tasers work from a distance using electrified projectiles. Stun Guns (and Cattle Prods) require the victim to be touched by the device to receive a shock. So which was it? Stun Guns aren't all that scary to me.

You do know that tasers can be used as a stun gun.

They have been doing this in the US since cable first came out . The power and telcos have been doing this before cable was around. On the poles out here you will find power,telco and the cable companies on the same pole. Far as I know the cable companies don't own their poles.

"Most standard contracts in the US for coders or engineers also say that any intellectual property you develop while being employed by company X belong to company X. See the case of the "Bratz" dolls. Some guy who worked for Barbie developed them in his spare time, and Mattel got full rights to the product for free."

Um not true .

Mattel had sued smaller rival MGA Entertainment over the design rights to the edgy and multiethnic Bratz doll, seeking as much as $1.8 billion in damages. Since their 2001 debut, the pouty-lipped, big-headed Bratz dolls have been eating into sales of Mattel's iconic Barbie.

In mid-July, the jury in a Riverside, Calif., court decided that designer Carter Bryant had created the majority of MGA's Bratz doll design drawings, prototypes and sculpts while he was still employed at Mattel. Bryant reached a separate settlement with Mattel Terms were not disclosed.

It also was determined that MGA and its Chief Executive Isaac Larian intentionally interfered with contractual duties that Bryant owed to Mattel and converted property for its use.

In the end, the jury awarded $90 million for the claims against MGA and Larian and $10 million for copyright infringement against MGA and Larian.

MGA sued Mattel first. Then Mattel counter sued .

Steve Roper

While we may hold that there is a *moral* obligation for a finder of lost property to return it to the police or owner, there is no *legal* obligation to do so. If I find someone's dropped wallet in the street, it's up to me whether I do the "right" thing and give it back, or put any cash in it into my own pocket and dump the rest in a bin, or even sell it.

Your wrong. California law says you can not sell lost property .

Oklahoma granny sues cops over tasering

kain preacher

few things

For you folks out there that says any one with a GED or high school diploma can be a cop in America you are wrong. Remember in America there are state and Federal cops. You are not going to become a federal cop with 2 years of college . Most Cities were in my state requires 2 years of college .

now for sectioning some one (Involuntary psychiatric hold) that varies from state to state . In my state of California its called 5150 proceeding .

Section 5150 is a section of the California Welfare and Institutions Code (specifically, the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act or "LPS") which allows a qualified officer or clinician to involuntarily confine a person deemed to have a mental disorder that makes them a danger to him or her self, and/or others and/or gravely disabled. A qualified officer, which includes any California peace officer, as well as any specifically designated county clinician, can request the confinement after signing a written declaration.

This is a 72 hour hold. Rarely does it proceed to 5152 hearing. Thats a 14 day hold and you have to go before a judge .

Also Google needs to worry about 30 sate AGs trying to find some that was done illegal. If they cant find it, they might just make up some thing and then force Google to defend them selfs.
