@Coffee Addict
I drink less than 3 or 4 glasses in a year and your choices are admirable.
That said, Blue Moon is a White Belgian Wheat ALE not a beer. Ales ferment in a warm process with the yeast on the top of the tank. Lager type beer ferments in a cold process with the yeast on the bottom of the tank.
A different type of yeast is used for Beer and Ale.I only learned about this when a client wanted to open a microbrewery and the town said he could not brew via a warm process, because the building was not properly zoned for cooking. It took quite a bit of Planning and Zoning hearings to convince the town that the intent of the zoning was to keep restaurants and retail purveyors of food out of the industrial park.
I recently went back to get a Masters in Psychology for a new venture we are pursuing. I never took any Psych courses undergrad. The University told me that I could take any three intro psych courses at any accredited college, and they admit me with any Bachelor’s degree. I took the classes on-line from a local community college to meet the requirement and am now doing the masters at the University of Bridgeport.
@AviK
I can only speak to CT where I know who the administrators of the Bar Examining Committee are.
Yes, many of them are attorneys, but they have been bureaucrats working full time for the government for their entire careers, also the chief judge of the Superior Court (judges are not elected in CT).
They tend NOT to be members of the Bar Association which is composed mainly of attorneys in public practice.
Membership in the Bar Association is not a requirement to practice law in CT and I know many attorneys who do not spend the money to belong.The Bar Association in CT has far less influence than it had 30 years ago.
CT currently uses questions from the national testing service for its state exam day, it no longer constructs its own exam, so Bar Association influence has no bearing on the test at this point.AviK
PLEASE: Don’t confuse the Professional Organization>>>Bar Association, and the division of State Government that administers the Exam. They are NOT the same.
Here in CT, the exam is administered and scored by the Connecticut Bar Examining Committee, part of the state Superior Courts.
In Massachusetts the exam is administered and scored by the Board of Bar Overseers, also part of the state court system.
I know first hand about NY and CT because I took and passed and am licensed in both states. After holding my license in CT for 5 years, all I had to do was drive to Albany, pay a fee and be sworn in at the state judicial offices. That was decades ago, now one would have to take the examIt is also these entities who discipline attorneys for misdeeds.
Membership in the Bar Association is not required to maintain one’s license. I haven’t bothered paying dues to the bar associations (statewide or county) in about 20 years. I’m not interested in their golf outings or treif dinners.I’m not saying a BTL can’t get into law school. My daughter who went to PENN was a music major undergrad. All her high school years working in my office paid off. The poster was talking about Harvard and I replied about New England schools.
I had a long talk with my niece (the Harvard Law Prof <UMICH Law Review, father and grandfather appellate court judges>) and she said they are looking at writing samples more and more as opposed to just LSAT and GPAIf you practice, you know writing is your bread and butter, far more than logic questions on a test.
@Coffee Addict…………….
I’m not bringing the proof from YU. I noted the location. It was frequented by many friends from Breuer’s in the heights.By the way, the people who had problems with the name, as well as McFleishiges are the McDonald’s Corporation, who issued cease and desist trademark infringement letters…causing the name changes
Back when I was a teenager: McDovid’s (rip off of Mc’Donald’s name) burger joint in Washington Heights, near Yeshiva University.
No one had a problem eating there because of the name
In my previous post where it says my children and spouses, it means my childrens’ spouses. There is only one Mrs. CTL.
@frumnotyeshivish
My post is not meant to be persuasive.
It is the observations of someone who has plied this trade for more than 35 years and made a substantial living doing it.
The poster I responded to did not use the word ‘ELITE” when posting, he wrote about Harvard. I responded about TOP New England Law Schools. I have never taught at Harvard, but my niece is a Law Professor there and we do talk about it. I have taught at Yale Law School (in my home town), as well as Boston University, Quinnipiac Law and UCONN Law. My children and spouses went to Columbia, Yale and Penn (my alma mater).
I have rec’d resumes and interview requests from many frum law grads looking for positions because they think working in a frum run firm would have its advantages, alas living and working in small town Connecticut has its drawbacks for frum young people.While BTLs may have attended some ‘ELITE’ schools, chances are they were in the New York metro area. New England and Harvard are very conservative places. WASP anti-semitism is long entrenched in blueblood New England and even if not practiced openly it exists.
In 1970 while applying and interviewing for colleges I was told in three New England schools that the Jew Quota was closed, this at a time when the Civil Rights Act was the law of the land (unlike my eldest brother who was told that at Princeton in 1963 when discrimination was still legal). Yale was never so overt, they would tell us that the quota for ‘Townies’ (New Haven residents) was full and they wanted a diverse geographic mix. 90%+ of Townies who applied in the 60s-90s were Jewish. From the 20s-60s Yale would accept Townies but stick them in the Sheffield Scientific School, home of Jews and Catholics. WASPS tended to be in Yale College. When I attended PENN undergrad, the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce had a much larger Jewish percentage than the College or College for Women (The 3 main undergrad colleges in the University). Much of this has changed in the last 4+ decades, but change in New England comes extremely slowly.Scaif09………………………..
I second akuperma’s comments.
I went to and IVY league university, have and MBA and a law degree from a top school in Massachusetts. I did not go the large law firm route, but established my own firm 35+ years ago in a specialized area of law.I have never taken in a partner. My children and their spouses went to law school knowing they would be joining the family firm and had future ownership when I retire. I would not have let them go through law school and attempt to find decent positions and be saddled with hundreds of thousands in student loans. To work and bill enough hours as a new associate in a big firm leaves no life or family time.
The profession has changed drastically in the past 25 years. Much of what we used to do and charge large fees for doing can be done with on-line forms, help and no degree or license. Most young lawyers are not making a living and many leave the field quickly. Law is not what it once was. It you do not a a job connection/plan consider something else.BTW>>>I have taught as a Law School adjunct faculty member for 15+ years at several top New England schools and have never run across a student admitted with just a BTL. It might get you into some NYC schools, but forget the IVY League, or UMICH, etc.
@NevilleChaimBerlin
“I’ll wait with anticipation for one of our posters like CTLaw or CharlieHall to come in and say that illegals should be granted amnesty even if they don’t speak English, but for Chassidim not to speak English it’s a huge problem and chillul Hashem.”
I have no idea why you would think I’d link amnesty for those who entered the USA illegally and being able to speak English.
#1 I am NOT in favor of blanket amnesty for those here illegally. I am in favor of those who have sought asylum to have their cases adjudicated before summarily being deported.
#2 I am of the belief that all permanently residing in mainland USA have a working command of the English language for safety reasons. That Hasid in Boro Park may be able to function in his community, but in a time of emergency he should be able to communicate with government emergency personnel. The same goes for those who speak other languages.
#3 We have the unusual situation with Puerto Ricans. They are American citizens who learn and function in Spanish in the public schools on the island. BUT, when they come to live permanently on the mainland they should become proficient in English for the same safety reasons.Tomorrow, I am appearing in Juvenile Court. It is a pro bono case where I am representing a child born here to Haitian Parents. It is the third attempt to try the case. The first two times the court arranged for French translators (since that is the official language of Haiti.). BUT the parents don’t speak French, they speak an island creole….a mic of French, African and Spanish. It has taken 3 months to get a translator certified by the courts for the dialect, and the child has languished in foster care.
The parents have been here since 1981 on emergency visas and have had more than ample time to learn English.I may be liberal compared to most in the CR, but that doesn’t mean i’m far left wing.
As for Charlie Hall, I haven’t seen him post here of elsewhere in about 8 months. I hope he is well.
@NevilleChaimBerlin
@CoffeeAddictGodaven is terribly out of date……………..
In my little state of CT there are more than 8 entries that are wrong or no longer exist .Mods can access a CR member’s email.
It happened to me last year when a mod reached out for legal help for a person hospitalized near me.The email I have for my registration on this site is a blind. It does not have my ‘real name’
@DovitBT
Actually the effect of the choice of President on my personal money is only one of many criteria in selecting a President.
I do not consider the coarse, insulting, serial adulterer who currently holds office as a role model.
I object to his dismantling healthcare, EPA, and other safeguards. His picks for Department of Education (DeVos and State (Tillerson) are a joke. Installing his inept children as senior advisors is offensive as is his attempt to reap personal and family profit from public service.
The man has no self control and has made enemies of our friends and allies. I fear for the safety of all Americans.I did not agree with all the policies of the Presidents Bush, but they were gentlemen who put country ahead of personal gain. I have known Bill Clinton since he was a law student at Yale. He has a brilliant mind, but not great moral character. President Obama is a brilliant man with wholesome family life. That doesn’t mean I agreed with everything he did. I voted against Trump as opposed to for Hillary Clinton. Her carpetbagging run for US Senate in NY was reminiscent of Bobby Kennedy and his defeat of Senator Keating.
I agree with ‘make a point’ that “Age couldve been an excuse for a bigger problem”
It is best to use a reason/excuse that is least hurtful/damaging when rejecting someone, whether for a date, employment, housing.In this case the follow up info says the girl is older, so the mother saying the boy is too young is a way to stop the date that does not involve a lie.
I disagree with the first part of the comment “if you are so intersted , pick up the phone and ask the mother”
Unless you are the shadchan you have no business in contact with the parents.@Yehudayona
Thank you….she’s tough. Made it through another surgery (15 in two years) repeat performance in 8 weeks. As my father Z”L would have said: ‘she’s putting that doctor into a new tax bracket.and for all you Trumpsters…….Thank G-d for the ACA Obamacare). As a self employed professional we get our health insurance through the Exchange here in CT. We have the same insurance company and level policy as before ACA, but no limitations for preexisting conditions, and there is no longer a yearly or lifetime cap on benefits (used to be $1 Million a year, $3 Million lifetime) they have paid out close to $4 million in 2 1/2 years. I know she’s worth it, but some government actuary would not agree.
We pay $500 per month less in our 6th year of coverage than we paid prior to ACA, and we are in our 60s not 50s now. The yearly deductible/out of pocket max is not $700 per person/$1400 per family, so at this time of the year we have no out of pocket expense.
Yes, I’ve heard/read horror stories about ACA here in the CR, but the system as set up in CT works. Our legislature has acted to make sure it continues, even if there are changes at the national level. If Trump had his way, Mrs. CTL would have been denied care and I would be bankrupt.It’s obvious you don’t know what a Communist is. This capitalist, a graduate of Wharton whose daddy didn’t buy his way in loves profit making.
This is not to say I don’t support FDR style social programs such as Social SecurityThank you Yehudayona. I just looked in while taking a short break from tehillim. Mrs. CTL is currently in surgery, again. I needed a diversion and the Communist label gave me a needed smile.
@MG32549
The emperor has no clothes…
Trump does NOT pay his personal bills…he’d rather stiff workers and declare bankruptcy. He is busy living off the public piggy bank, supporting himself and his useless band of relatives. He wouldn’t pay for anything form his own pocket except the occasional extramarital affair @ 130-150,000 dollars@yehudayona
I’m also not a sword swallower@Takes2
I don’t know why someone added phones to a food discussion, or the newest one who wanted to know if you wanted your Cadillac or Volvo made in “Communist Red China”Is there a Non-Communist Red China?
Personally I wouldn’t want a Cadillac made anywhere, never liked GM cars and the last Volvo I had was a 1976 264 GL. I’m very happy driving my English made car, but I’m typing on a Chinese made computer nd have no problem with that.
That said, I’d not be eating any of these things@takes2
The OP asked if you would eat it, not if it exists.
I go to the supermarket and see many kosher cottage cheese, yogurt and sour cream containers…but I won’t eat them. I don’t like the product, doesn’t matter that it’s kosher or not.@Akuperma
The Iams dog food did not have a heckscher and used here and was not manufactured in China. The fake wheat gluten was a food component made in China under kosher supervision and exported. It was used in both animal and human foods. The effects on animal kidneys by small amounts of melamine was far greater than human kidneys.@DovidBT
The Chinese government owns 50% of all non-mom and pop businesses. They set the managers’ and co-owners’ salaries. They decide profit splits. The managers and co-owners want to reap the benefits of their labors and often break the law to do so.
For the past year I have been working with a Chinese Banker to establish a Trust to send hand support his son in the US for high school college and graduate school. In May the Chinese government unilaterally cut salaries of all top bank officers by 50%. He is now approving loans to himself and family members form the bank at set rates, and set up a syndicate to invest the funds and keep the profits for himself to compensate for the salary cuts.
This is the type of action that takes place often@RebYidd23
again, the dog food was manufactured in the USA using a component (wheat gluten) produced in China.
China has many standards on the books that are routinely ignored@yitzchokm
As I have been to China many times in the past 21 years, I have seen the corruption and dishonesty in the Chinese processed food industry.
When the government is your automatic 50% partner, factory owners and manager look for ways to make their own fortunes. Great fortunes are made in this manner, but the risk is high. Every year scoundrels are caught sabotaging food supply and the typical response is a swift execution. Much of this does not hit the foreign press.The CTL family Greyhound fell victim to tainted Chinese processed food exported to the USA back about 2007. A large processor of component ingredients for animal food was substituting fake wheat gluten for real. Major American brands used the fake wheat gluten and thousands of animals and some humans were injured and/or died. Our Greyhound, a retired loser at the race track which we had rescued) was fed a dry food made by Iams (I can mention the name here, because Iams paid a settlement in the case). Instead of wheat gluten it contained melamine. This caused her kidneys to fail. We incurred more than $8,000 in Veterinary expenses and she suffered for 8 weeks until she died.
I was in China earlier this year, I ate only fresh fruits and vegetables, steamed rice and packaged items I brought with me.
We do not buy or use package Chinese produced food products exported to the USA. This is not to say that we may not be fed such items when eating at a relative’s home or restaurant. We may not buy that can of mushrooms labelled ‘Made in China’ but have no way of knowing if someone else is serving such an item to us.
Our dogs no longer eat any commercial pet food. They have a diet of turkey, sweet potatoes and peas which we cook for them.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It is not necessarily a matter of inferior quality, but honesty. I certainly trusted Iams, and had fro many years. They were duped by the dishonest food supplier in China. BTW, about half a dozen Chinese factory executives implicated in this fraud were executed.Quality control only tests a small sample of product and is not the same as food safety examination. Quality control tests the looks, size, taste, feel, smell etc. of the food. Is it to the company’s standards? Does it look like the picture on the label?
Way back in 1971, when I took my first college course in International Business, we learned about self reference criteria. The surest way to fail in business (and life) is to judge every new thing/person/company in terms of what you have experienced in your own life. One needs to eliminate biases and examine things/people objectively.
This is not an easy thing to do@Whitecar
I replied to the thread title which presented two choices.
To be perfectly honest there is no way I could say who I’d want 6 years from now. I don’t know who will have been President in the intervening years and what shape the country will be in.I do not hide my disdain for the current administration or those you have suggested, but I have not even chosen a D to oppose the Republican nominee in 2020. Right now I’m trying to get through state elections in 2018. My congressional elections will b e landslides for the Congressman and Senator up for reelection to I am spending little time on those elections.
@Anonumousjew
#1 CT pays more to the federal government than it receives back, so you are not subsidizing us
#2 I did not vote for Bill Clinton
#3 I voted against Trump
#4 an ordinary 7 room house in my small town has property taxes of about $13,000…brought to us by an 8 year republican administration.
#5 Being self employed, I buy my health insurance through the CT Exchange (ACA) and yes I kept my insurance company and ALL of my doctors, in fact a number of doctors who did not take Connecticare before the ACA now do so….so I have more choice at a lower cost.
#6 Returning Iran’s own funds was not a secret…you know about, I know about, and so on
#7 I see no difference in visiting and making nice with Cuba which is 90 miles off our coast than meeting with the leader of North Korea, who has nuclear capability and is half a world way….so much for your warped logic.
#8 Medinat Israel is a political football and is not universally loved/supported on The Yeshiva World#9 this discussion is not a referendum on past presidents. It’s about the dictator in Washington that is undermining the rule of law and destroying our country.
#10 I detest our governor and he is not running again, I never voted for him. My state representative and senator are Republicans and voted against our current budget.
As I’ve said, I don’t vote party, I vote individual. I cannot remember the last time I voted a straight party line, but it was sometime in the 1970s wen we had local elections in New Haven and there were no opposition candidates running in my district.
None of the above
Curiousity
Your ignorance and bias is amazing.
You paint all who vote for candidates of one party as being the same.I am a Democrat. I vote for individuals. not party. I detest the fool who is leading our country backwards. The orange haired, serial adulterer who enriches his friends and family and hurts our economy.
I will pay more than $20,0000 in additional federal tax this year under his new tax structure, money that used go to Tzedaka.
I don’t want non-citizens to vote, despite your FALSE claim.
I don’t want open borders, but those arriving and seeking asylum should not be turned away. Must I remind you of the fate of the passengers on the MS St. Louis back in 1939.Trump is a hateful, divisive, lying individual. I’d rather have a family of hard working central American immigrants here and him and his family on the other side of a prison wall.
@DovidBT
I have been able to operate a number of businesses during my lifetime. I sold the food businesses in 1978 and the sewing factory in 1984. Since then I have only run the law firm and associated trust administration business; PLUS real estate investment business. Mrs. CTL is a builder/designer and licensed realtor. Late MIL was a RE Broker and licensed property manager for 50 years, so it was easy to run the property/real estate investment business from adjoining offices in the same building.
My father Z”L always had multiple businesses. He taught me if you have 5 businesses and one goes bad you can live well from the other 4, but if you have one business that goes bad it can be a catastrophe.Even now, in my mid 60s I am working towards another doctorate and have a new business venture that will incorporate law. I’ll retire from active legal practice when I launch this venture in a couple of years. My children and their spouses will run the CTL practice on a day to day basis and I’ll be of counsel.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
BTW, I did law school in 2 1/2 years commuting 3 days each week to school in Massachusetts while still running my full time business. I’d get up at 4 am, drove 175 miles to school, leave at the end of the day drive home 175 miles and be in the house by 9PM. It was hard, but worth it.@RebbYid23
You interpreted the post as anti-worker, I saw it as anti boss. There is the disagreement.Do you actually mean CETA…Comprehensive Employment and Training Act?
It was NOT done away with by President Reagan (and I’m no fan of his). Congress in 1982 voted to fold it into the Job Training Partnership Act. In turn this was replaced by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. All of these were Congressional actions, NOT the pronouncement of a President.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
BTW, I fought and sued the CETA program in CT back in 1980 and pushed our Congressmen and Senators to close it down. At that time I was an owner of a sewing factory in Waterbury, CT. CETA funds had been made available to train sewing machine operators (we were sending work overseas as we could not get enough qualified operators). The director of the CETA program in CT had put rules in place making the ILGWU the administrator and training agency for sewing machine operators. So, if I wanted to have CETA funded trainees in my factor (paid for with my tax dollars) I had to let the union have access to my sewiung floors where they could attempt to organize my non-union sewing force. No other industry was forced to have union supervision of CETA. By the time the case actually got to court, it was moot, CETA had been folded into the Job Training Partnership Act and the union was no longer in control.@Rebbyid23
I disagree, I think he’s upset at businesses illegally using 1099 system instead of w-2 employment.
It should be reported to the Labor departments, both state and federal…but the Chareidi community will say you are not allowed to go to government, but a beis din. Sorry, this type of criminal act should be reported. The 1099 contractor who is really an employee is being robbed of Social Security, disability and unemployment benefits.@1
employees DON’T 1099 their workers. Employees are the workers.
Sounds like you are unhappy with Frum employers who 1099 non employee workers. By definition a 1099 worker is NOT an employee“In NYC area, the jewish schools get ZIP, NADA, BUPKAS from the federation, each school is on its own to raise the money”
Sorry, to disagree. I live in Fairfield County, CT…which is the NYC area. For example, the following Day Schools receive funds from Jewish Federation of Stamford: Bi-Cultural Day School (Stamford), Carmel Academy (Greenwich), Jewish High School of CT (Stamford), Gan Yeladim (Chabad pre-school Stamford).
In New Haven, where I was born and raised, Federation provides financial support (and has for more than 4 decades) to both Southern CT Hebrew Academy/Bais Chanah )Lubavitch and Ezra Academy (conservative).
Bridgeport no longer has a day school, but when it functioned Hillel Academy received funding from Federation.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
UJA Federation NY does not directly fund day schools, but allocates $1 MIllion per year for day school scholarships. Parents may apply to Federation directly for these funds.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Outside Metro NYC in CT. Day schools/Yeshivos in the Hartford area, Waterbury, Danbury, New London receive funding from local Federations. The OOT Jewish community as a whole understands the importance of these institutions and that they should be available and be funded, not just by the orthodox community.In 1980 Minimum Wage in CT was $3.25 per hour. A decent 2 bedroom apartment could be rented for $300 per month including heat and hot water.
In 2018 Minimum Wage in CT is $10.10 per hour. That same apartment (now 38 years older) rents for $1450 per month. Wages have gone up approx 320% of 1980. The cost of housing has risen to 480% of 1980 cost.
We had no state income tax in 1980, now that minimum wage earner would be paying approx $20 per week in this tax. Minimum wage should keep up with inflation (at a minimum). Lower skilled workers should not be faced with the choice of working 40 hours per week and not being able to afford, food/clothing/shelter, or going on public assistance, getting a section 8 housing voucher, food stamps, WIC, fully paid medical and a monthly cash stipend that is larger than minimum wage.
By keeping minimum wage below a livable standard we are pushing people onto public assistance.
In my area, babysitters get $15 per hour, non-English speaking house cleaners get $30 pert hour. If you want a kid to weed your garden, shovel snow or cut the lawn it’s $25 per hour. AND all of that is cash, non-taxed income. My non-Jewish next door neighbor has a 19 year old who is a certified lifeguard. He refuses to work for the town at their pools because they pay minimum wage. Instead of earning $400 per week at the pool, he cuts lawns 5 hours per day, 4 days a week for more money and spends his afternoons at the beach@Syag
My comment about better English instruction was prompted by the battles in NYS to ensure Yeshivos actually teach the required English/general studies hours.
OOT, no day school would dare skimp on English. Most of the student body goes on to college. The general Jewish community subsidizes the day schools through Federation allocations.the word is COMMENSURATE:
com·men·su·rate
kəˈmensərət,kəˈmenSHərət/Submit
adjective
corresponding in size or degree; in proportion.
“salary will be commensurate with experience”
synonyms: equivalent, equal, corresponding, correspondent, comparable, proportionate, proportional
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
People who commiserate have the same negative feelings about something. Take a look at how commiserate is built: it’s from Latin “com-,” which means “together with,” and miserārī, “to pity.” Put them together, and you get “to pity one another, commiserate.”Underpaid Yeshiva and Day School staff often commiserate about their small and often late paychecks.

I’ve never heard of the Infant Swim/Self Rescue program, BUT we have an in-ground pool and both our parents had them as well. Mrs. CTL and I bought were in the pool our first year of life. All of our children and grandchildren were in the pool and being taught to swim, float and tread water the first summer after that they were at least three months of age.
Mrs. CTL and I held ARC Water Safety Instructor certification as young adults and worked the waterfront at summer camp. Our kids were certified lifeguards and worked at camp and the JCC.
We do not allow friends’ and family’s kids in our pool until they prove to us they can swim confidently.@yitzyk
My father Z”L always insisted that you never miss an opportunity to spread knowledge. So, even knowing this thread was tongue in cheek I elaborated on what types of mailbox situations can now be installed.

My questions only have to do with American civil law, not religious (halacha) law.
#1 There are NO FCC laws. The only Federal laws are those passed by Congress. The FCC, in its authority granted by Congress and the Executive Branch may promulgate regulations and may even have the authority to levy fines through administrative law. That does not mean they can ignore constitutional due process rights.
Every American has the right, if not obligation to question government actions, especially in this time of the Trump administration who ignores laws and judicial decisions. How’s that 20 day order to reunite families doing? I questioned who confiscated the radios. I also questioned if in fact it was a confiscation, where title changes hands or an impound pending trial and adjudication.
You immediately commit libel against most attorneys.
I am not a slip and fall attorney and have never been…I don’t practice Personal Injury law and never have.If you have read my posts, you would know I have children and grandchildren and DON’T live in an area where Hatzoloh operates and would respond to any need.
I did not play any games, I asked serious legal questions, that’s what intelligent people do. I NEVER said Hatzoloh confiscated radios, I asked who did.
An apology is in order, not top just myself, but most of my profession.
You come across as a boor.Mammele…………..
In most jurisdictions, the police cannot confiscate a car because it was driven by a drunk driver. They can arrange for revocation of a drivers licence by DMV.
When a car is used for delivery of drugs, it may be forfeited by order of the judge at trial.There is a HUGE difference between a piece of property being impounded pending trail and actual confiscation which changes ownership.
Chances are the car driven by the drunk driver may have been impounded pending trail, not confiscated.The legal meaning of words is often quite different than the way they are used in news articles.
BK613
I asked those questions in my comment on the news article.
Hatzolah has no legal authority to confiscate the radios.
Even law enforcement cannot just confiscate the radios. The radios are legal, it is transmission that may not be legal. A warrant would have to be issued by a judge for [proper seizure of private property and it might not hold up in court,It is legal to own a car. It is not legal to drive the car on a public road at 140 MPH in the USA . That illegal use of a legal product does not mean law enforcement can just confiscate the car.
@Lightbrite…………
I believe this thread was started in response to the ‘have a nice car thread’
However, Joseph the troll, used it to make a personal attack on me. When he was shut down in response he has made himself absent from the thread.
Maybe the spirit of the three weeks has had an effect on him.Sorry, Joseph.
We have an ordinary black metal mailbox on a 4×4 wooden post at the curb. The box sells for about $19 at Home Depot. Every couple of years the town snow plows will hit and destroy the box and pole during a storm clean up. The town will only replace this basic style and post. No reason to invest in anything fancier.
Sorry to shatter your illusions.
