Re: Crime rates unknown

I wonder if the change in reporting was planned with Brandon taking office or if it was just a coincidence? It is just coincidence. NIBRS was started in 1989 with the idea that it would eventually replace UCR. The hope was that more agencies would report NIBRS with the improved use of computers bec...

Re: WEF Banker: Eliminating Cash Gives ‘Absolute Control’ over Population

The weirdest part of all this is how they do not understand that controlling money does not control the populace, at least in the US. As a general rule, I think people as a whole are generally stupid, but I do recognize how ingenious they can be. Take control of our money and try to use it to contro...

Re: Joe Xiden AKA Brandon- 5 million for the big guy

I have a friend that is glad DJT isn't President. When I try to sincerely ask for an honest reason, he goes off on Russia, Russia, Russia, phone call, impeached twice, classified documents, etc. - all the usual MSM talking points. When I ask about his thoughts on Hunter, and Joey taking bribes he s...

Re: Restaurant with bar section

This has been a problem since the 51% rules was created by the legislature. The problem is that the law only allows one license or permit at any single location at any time. It defines the premises as everything including the parking lot. So if a vendor in a building gets a license or permit, the w...

This needing an explanation is a very sad commentary on our education system, at least when it deals with history.

Re: SCOTUS

And more importantly, well for this forum, SCOTUS accepted the Rahimi case for next fall: https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/06/justices-take-up-major-second-amendment-dispute/ This is the challenge to federal law banning people under a protective order from having guns. As I understand it, the appeal ...

Re: Sign Changes - why?

I have a slightly different take on this. Is it unlawful for me, as a non-lawyer, to dispense incorrect legal advice? Because I believe that is exactly what these store owners are doing by continuing to post nonsense signs referencing non-existent TPC sections. For example, if I owned a convenience...

Re: Texas Vehicle Inspection

I have not read the bill yet, so I am not sure exactly how this will work out. Currently, I pay 7.50 to the station that does the inspection and then 7.50 to the state on my registration bill. I think I will see a 7.50 savings each year but I am not sure if that will get added to the registration al...

Re: New Forms

But I swear (can't be 100% sure) that TexDOT has decided to add a useless sign to our state's mix, to wit: "State Law - Observe All Warning Signs." I have always thought that if the state posts a sign, you obviously have to obey it. Why does TexDOT feel that they have to state the obvious...

Re: Gun Crimes Don't Count

The SCOTUS ruled correctly according to the law in this case, as they should do. The problem is Congress can't write coherent laws. There is a section of the code that says that for the following list of crimes, you get an extra sentence that must be run consecutively instead of concurrently with an...

Re: Joe Xiden AKA Brandon

I am just curious and too lazy to research it myself. Does anyone know what the federal statute of limitations is on prohibited person in possession of a firearm or lying on the 4473? How about the bribery of a public official statute? I think this is why they are just slowing down these investigati...

Re: FL: Active shooter at high school in South Florida

I thought Castle Rock VS Gonzaleaz established that police are not obligated to protect you. Another part of the decision was the police had qualified immunity. I'm no lawyer, though. That case can be a little more nuanced than it looks. The general rule is that police are there to protect society ...
