    Is this a valid defense to a DUI stop?

    This comment thread itself is hilarious, lol. I would be impressed by the ability to create such an inventive defense. However, after spending too much time in NYC around people who believe they are never wrong, I would find such defense suspect. I'd insist he explain why he couldn't drive in a...

    Is this a valid defense to a DUI stop?

    Someone just sent this video clip to me asking whether this would present a valid defense to a DUI stop and failure to walk a straight line. Would this hold up in court?

    Coop owner disputes with smoking issues

    @adjusterjack is exactly correct that New York requires a smoking policy (yet another New York Local Law - 147). But that alone may not going to solve the problem you're discussing. Trying to enforce any smoking policy is very difficult. How do you prove conclusively someone is smoking and that...

    Witnessed my friend's "accident"

    Reminded me of the 1996 movie "Sleepers" where our main characters steal a hot dog cart and toss it down the subway stairs, thinking no one will get harmed until a man appears and is almost killed by the cart. Our 'protagonists' ended up in jail for quite a while, likely for the same reason this...

    Need help with fake medicare case

    I didn't even get that far because I stopped reading after he said you can make up any facts you wish. Funny that those details might actually have been part of the original case information and the most important to know. I was going to suggest making up that the defendant ultimately determined...

    accused of threats/intimidation because of a social media post

    Sorry to hear about the problem and most important is to calm down and not to panic. An overwhleming amount of the time will few ever see a handful of posts lost in the millions of rubbish that consumes Twitter/X, or whatever Elon Musk calls it these days. Some basics: 1) We haven't seen the...

    Grace period for time expiration for parking meters

    I was in Westchester on a sub-freezing day and almost got caught in the municipal parking lot with the same issue. The muni meter wasn't reading credit cards and then I had to figure out how the 'zone ' system worked in the municipal parking lot by going to the website, which was not easy to...

    Need help with fake medicare case

    So help is needed to come up with damages? My suggestion would be to watch South Park and watch what happens to Kenny and apply it to real life. You can also come up with a whole group of terrible things that can happen on a trip to foreign islands with powerful people and coming home with new...

    A tiny amount of trash of only 7-9 or so small napkin sized items were found on my sidewalk's soil in NYC. Is the ticket justified?

    If you don't have a daily sweeping routine to show, you don't have a defense. In my case I had neighbors who witnessed cleaning performed and I obtained an affidavit. In addition, the primary area in issue of the garbage location was the 18" into the street area in front of a residential home...

    A tiny amount of trash of only 7-9 or so small napkin sized items were found on my sidewalk's soil in NYC. Is the ticket justified?

    Agree with the above, especially if it's your storefront. Your possible defense to arriving after the DoS does to observations such as 'contents of ash tray' which makes it appear that someone emptied their car in front of the store is to broom and sweep. I'm assuming that their priority is...

    A tiny amount of trash of only 7-9 or so small napkin sized items were found on my sidewalk's soil in NYC. Is the ticket justified?

    Agreed. There appear to be doorways next door so it's possible, although not likely, that the summonses could have been imposed on them as property owners. I disagree about the residence issue. Look at the maximum fine of $300. Per my discussion with the Department of Sanitation, the fine goes...

    In the state of Pennsylvania, is it illegal for an employer to blacklist a former employee?

    @Leejmusic - I can appreciate your frustration more than you realize, but perhaps you should dial it back a bit and take a few moments to contemplate what was written and the unfortunate reality that exists. What @zddoodah says is not only true, but the perspective you convey presents a very...
