One example I can think of is that there was a car accident involving some cop cars, and when discovery came around, they gave certain pieces of evidence to my father's client, certain evidence to the third guy, and my father's client settled, and he talked to the lawyer for the other client and gave him the rest of the evidence. They're supposed to give all the evidence to everyone, not only give the evidence that won't help that person, and that's exactly what they did.

My father was a lawyer, so I got a lot of stories from him where cops did a lot of slimy stuff because they could get away with it or because they were allowed to do it by the letter of the law.

Nothing you've said is incorrect, but at the same time, the choice comes down to either limiting the power of cops or expanding it. I'd rather limit it, it's an endless cat and mouse game and if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile every time. Giving them the inch because justice isn't real anyway isn't going to make anything better.

Newark can't be fixed either. The runways are too close, and the airport is boxed in completely by highways, including US1-9, I-78, and the NJ Turnpike (I-95). They'd have to move half the runways over and probably take some space from the buildings to do it, and in Jersey, the unfathomably high cost of doing that would never get approved, especially since the port authority would have their sticky fingers all over it.

Though I understand your argument, this is exactly the logic used to undermine people's rights. Initially, rights are only eroded for murderers or pedophiles or rapists, but it doesn't take long for it to be used against someone who tries to expose a police department's corruption. The most heinous cases are where it is most important to not set bad precedent, because those are where the seeds of abuse of power are sown.

Is that true of both the PS5 and PS5 Pro, or just one of the two? My impression of that situation was that the PS5 Pro was in high demand because of GTA6, but the regular PS5 was plentiful.

You have it backwards. One cannot assert a problem exists without evidence. Don't ask them to prove a negative, it's literally impossible. You must prove the positive, that voter fraud exists.

I think an ultrasonic cleaner can speed it up, just make sure your vessel with the alcohol in it is sealed first, so no vapors come out. I've tried it before, it isn't perfect, but it works better than you'd expect for maybe an hour or two of time spent.

What antisemitism? Antizionism is not antisemitism, period. Do not conflate the two.

I live in NJ, and what I like to say is that the drivers here actually know how to drive safely and correctly, they simply choose not to. When push comes to shove or they realize they can't drive like a jerk, they immediately cooperate and things move efficiently. It's not a knowledge problem, it's an attitude problem.

What's misleading? You just said it's not a steel exoskeleton, and that the panels were glued on. If your point is that a true exoskeleton isn't needed for sufficient rigidity and strength, sure, fine, but you should make that claim and point out why it's misleading, all you've said is that the claim is correct, but that other cars are made similarly.

The APIs you'd use to get this data have pretty much all been taken down in the last few years. That's why you don't really see social media analysis anymore.
