I used to work in retail HR. There was an incident where a pregnant high school girl physically threatened another employee for "giving an attitude". It eventually made its way to corporate. During the investigation, we asked both people to give a written account of what happened. The girl literally wrote in her statement "if I get fired over this, I'll literally kill [person]." I'm sure you can guess how this went.

Captain Justice's opponent wasn't being "cheeky". The prosecutor, already playing with a heavily stacked deck, was trying to stack the deck even more by trying to take away a simple little rhetorical device to cast a little bit of suspicion onto a group (prosecutor, police) that gets a LOT of implicit benefit of the doubt from judges and juries. I'm sure Captain Justice repeatedly referred to them as "the Government" deliberately, because the very same people who believe anything the cops and prosecutors say also profess to have a suspicion of government. He was trying to level that playing field and the prosecutor was trying to prevent him. I am SURE the prosecutor did not take Captain Justice's response with anything like good humor, and probably resents it to this day, because they are very used to being treated like royalty in court and getting their way routinely.

For good reason- courts will strike pleadings that dont bear proper caption. Also the clerk wont file a complaint that doesnt contain the required statutory elements required to be in the complaint and summons. Failure to plead a complaint in proper format as to plead jurisdiction, parties, standard of review, cause of action, and other things required by rules of procedure is grounds to dismiss without prejudice without the defense being required to answer the complaint.

Not the USA, but in Spain there is a book about those kind of crazy sheganigans called "de juzgado de guardia" ("juzgado de guardia" is Spanish for the first instance court that has to view cases first, and "de juzgado de guardia" is a Spanish legal idiom for crazy things going in the legal system). The book includes: -A judge accidentally issuing a search order against himself. -A case in which the judge and the defendant had the exact same name. -An inmate requesting special breakfast for New Year. -A judge mistaking two cases because both were related to bicycles. -A woman mistaking the court building for the nearby bus station. -A prosecutor deciding to become a farmer in the middle of a trial. -A witness admiting that, had he been in the scene of a crime, he would have avenged the victim. And these are only a few.

While I'm not a lawyer I did work in Auto Accident Claims and saw my fair share of wacky legal docs and police reports. I think my favorite was a police report where the officer stated something to the effect of "Suspect drove car onto porch and through front door of his ex spouse's home, and fled on foot to neighbors home. Officer approached suspect who was banging on the back door begging to be let in. Officer approached with taser drawn. Suspect turned to me and requested I not call the cops because he was in his own words 'tripping balls' when suspect realized I was an officer the suspect shrieked and charged for officer's crotch. Officer used one hand to shield crotch and other hand to aim taser to subdue suspect." That has been my favorite since I first read it I burst out laughing so hard and had to talk to the guy once he was out of jail where he tried to explain that this was all taken out of context.

I grew up in Kentucky, and that's not our only specific law you might find odd. All bees entering the state must present a certificate of health (This makes a lot more sense in context) and it is illegal to walk down the street with an ice cream cone in your back pocket*. Lastly, it is illegal for a wife to re-arrange the furniture without her husband's consent**. *(Again, this makes a LOT more sense in historical context, but the short version is, it had to do with a quasi-legal loop hole to steal horses by getting them to follow you onto your own property, thus making them your horse as they walked onto your property technically of their own free will) **( This stems from a state representative being mad at his wife after he came home drunk one night and tripped over a foot-stool. Which he had helped her move. 3 days prior. But he forgot and wrote up a bill about it and somehow it passed into law.)

As funny as it would be if armed guards were sitting on the borders with other states waiting to pounce on a bee that illegally crossed the line, tackling them to the ground and holding them at gun point demanding to see their certificate of health, it's the bees that are bought. Basically to prevent sick bees. Also, postal laws for bees sent through US Mail services require that bees be limited to no more than 10 plus a queen. The Queen will keep the workers calm, though often bees will be went with just a queen encased in a box with food that has to be placed in the hive so the workers can eat the box to free her. If you just dump a queen in a hive, the workers will rip the new queen apart and kill her, seeing her as an invader. If they have to eat a container to get at her, it gives her time to emit pheromones that suppress their aggression, and by the time she's able to get out, they accept her as the hive's queen. That aside, basically Kentucky wants proof that parasites or diseases that could threaten the bee stock which would cause problems with pollination of crops.

I would love to tell a story that happened to my teacher at lawschool that fits right in here. (He is an active judge of the dutch version of the supreme court mind you) Every month he has to pay a small tax over some small thing vacation shed he rents. The tax is wrong by less then a roughly 5 dollar a year… IN HIS FAVOR. But he was in a trolling mood, so he decided to write a massive 10 page document, to complain on his next request to pay. It would arrive around that weekend. But to his dismay, after more then a year, they finally raised (and thus corrected) the tax, and thus he couldnt complain about it being wrong. So he SUED the local government that they made him waste time writing his document(which he included). The government’s attorney and the rather young judge were so impressed by his title and position that it seems they didnt even consider a summary judgement to reject his case due to it being absolutely pointless. After all, he didnt even sue them for damages or anything. It went to actual trial, the attorney tried to give a good explanation of why there are no damages, and the government has no blame. The only possible damage was that he “got his complaint fixed before he could complain about it”. The judge then also wrote a significant judgement aswell, explaining that ny teacher had no proper argument, and even if he did, he didnt sue for damages, actions, and/or sanctions, so even if he was right, there was still nothing the judge would be able to do. … So by the time the teacher finished telling this to us (the final verdict happened during the semester he was teaching us), he couldnt stand up straight from laughing so hard.

My opponent told me that there was no way that he could oppose my motion as it was based on such great grounds…. My motion was granted. The play opened as scheduled, and, as it turned out, my co-counsel’s child was born on the day of the original hearing.

As crazy as that back-and-forth was, I do see how there can be logic behind requesting the opposing counsel stop calling the prosecution "The Government". In some parts of the country, there can be heavy bias against the Government, and perhaps the defense attorney was previously using the term with a derogatory tone. Ultimately the motions shouldn't have been granted, but I can see logic behind it.
@inconnu4961
@inconnu4961 2 жыл бұрын
There is NO logic behind it. There are MANY words that have bad associations! Take the word 'molest' as just one example. Before the word became forever entangled to the idea of sexual assault, it simply meant to 'bother' (not a full, concise definition). Perhaps if the government didnt work so hard to be a burden on the citizenry, they wouldnt have EARNED such a bad association!

Now I could sue them but the lawyer I could higher would get buried by the dozens of lawyers my employer has available.

I have so many questions about the Kentucky “elected representatives can never have duelled” law. First of all, what exactly constitutes a duel, and secondly, what exactly constitutes a deadly weapon. Would this rule prevent, for example, any individual that has ever been in a 1-v-1 street-fight (even if this did not lead to any arrests being made), since there have been cases where such events have led to one participate being fatally injured? Similarly, would this law prevent any individual from running for office if they have ever participated in the sport of fencing? Further, is it required that any “duel” refers only to some kind of martial discipline, or even that both parties involved in the duel are individuals, as opposed to other entities? Would an individual be prevented from running for office if they have ever accepted a speed-eating challenge from a restaurant? So many questions…

🤔 If the street fight was prearranged and mutually agreed to I'd qualify that as a duel. Otherwise assault on the one hand and self-defense on the other. Pretty reasonable too, I think. That's not how we are supposed to resolve disputes under rule of law. Hmm... yeah, I think someone who willingly participates in battery (or homicide) intending to resolve a dispute extra-judicially is probably not who we should want administering law. And yeah I don't think they were thinking of hot dog eating when they wrote that! Fun comment, ty!

You know I did hear of an arbitrator who got so tried of the 2 sides threatening to beat each other up he proposed to resolve their dispute with a boxing match. Even booked a boxing ring and so forth. Neither tuned up. More generally in a civil case if both parties agreed to (non lethal) trial by combat I suspect this could actually happen. If they could persuade a judge to sign off the Tomlin order for settling the case with a safely organised non lethal physical fight I don't think there's any criminal implications, no more so than with a boxing match.
