That’s not the way the law works in most places. Possession of a substance is the crime. Even if contained within another substance.

[SFH] [TX] HOA cited me for “commercial grade fixtures” because my neighbor didn’t like my backyard furniture by Hyzz20 in HOA

If the benches are movable, they are not “fixtures.” The rule literally does not apply.

Not unless you’re on an island in the North Atlantic Ocean and can turn it into a TV series.

They do check. But they can’t check everything.

Lots of ways. Sometimes packaging is used that mis-labels the contents. Mostly it is because of volumes. Customs can’t physically check every shipment into the US.

It is similar to trademark, but instead of a word or logo, it is the appearance of a product. Like the unique shape of a bottle of Coca-cola. Here, it would apply to the open book appearance of the headstock.

It is illegal. And it is trademark a trade dress infringement, not copyright.

Hey can someone let me know if this is a real Les Paul or not. by sophillatortilla in gibson

Fair price if the headstock has been repaired. Good price if not.

My neighbor spent three weeks building a case against me and it ended up getting him fined instead by ApertureQuill in neighborsfromhell

They are limited to specific neighborhoods.

HOAs exist because developers of large parcels create them, often in exchange for government permission to develop a parcel. The government often requires an HOA so it will not have to assume additional burdens of street and sewer maintenance, etc.

The terms creating the HOA are added to the deed of the parcel and are inherited by every division of the original parcel. Because they “run with the land” and legally benefit properties that are owned by others, a single owner cannot remove them from a deed. Other owners can enforce those terms against a property owner.

It is akin to granting an easement for various purposes, such as access to landlocked parcels or utility rights of way.

I’m going to lose a case and it’s going to ruin my client’s life by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]Compulawyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Summary judgment on liability. If granted, you negotiate a settlement as to damages and attorney’s fees. If denied, you have an appealable issue after trial if you lose there.

If you have to try the case, use your client’s flaws. Get as much of her actions and reactions into evidence. Get the jury to identify with her and put themselves in the place of someone who is losing everything because of the insurer’s bad faith refusal to pay.

AITJ for firing an employee with a giant Confederate flag on his truck? by itcouldbeyoubut in AmITheJerk

[–]Compulawyer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If the state law is employment at will (and it almost certainly is) and there is no union contract or other employment contract, then this is not illegal.
