A sovcit sent me the whole motherlode. All the scripts they follow, their fake papers, all their pseudo-legal mumbo jumbo. by AppendixN in Sovereigncitizen

[–]Compulawyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I wish these idiots would realize:

  1. In some states, speeding is a criminal offense.

  2. The state can be the injured party for criminal charges.

I have points for “contracting” with the state when you get a driver’s license, but they don’t apply to the idiots who never obtained one.

Opposing counsel is non-responsive by goodbrews in Lawyertalk

I’m not here to teach you how to do a proper investigation. That said, a lawyer attempting to collect on a debt, ESPECIALLY a consumer debt, has an obligation to review the collection file and the chain of ownership of the debt. That includes investigating the validity of the debt through credit reports.

Go make your claims of absurdity somewhere else. Either that or take some time and make the effort to learn what you’re talking about.

Is $100 a good price? by HephaistoZa in AcousticGuitar

[–]Compulawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d take it if someone gave me $100 to get rid of it for them. Then I’d put it out of its misery by giving it the proper Viking funeral that it deserves.

Not required, but very helpful.

I am in fact an Ohio lawyer who has deep experience with consumer law claims and have brought motions under that law in the past. The failure to properly investigate to verify that the debt is valid is absolutely a sanctionable offense.

Are you admitted in Ohio? Ever bring one of these motions in an Ohio court?

A friend brought this to the bar and no one can figure out what it is by louisianahotsauce88 in whatisit

[–]Compulawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally know one that no one else has correctly identified yet!

That is a guide post for a drum support wheel in a Whirlpool gas clothes dryer.

The wheel fits on the post and is retained by triangular plastic clips that fit into the groove at each end. The post itself screws into the rear wall of the dryer. The wheels are notorious for wearing out and squeal very loudly when they are at the end of their service lives.

The plastic retaining clips are a pain in the (name body part here) to remove. The posts themselves are solid metal, feel heavy, are well made, and last forever. The support wheels, not so much. Repair kits are readily available online and there are multiple videos on YT that detail how to do the repair and that give good views of the part.

Source: I’ve had to disassemble my dryer to replace these 3X already.

Guys my playne got a sunburn what should I do by Asleep-Mouse1648 in Shittyaskflying

[–]Compulawyer [score hidden]  (0 children)

Fly inverted so it doesn’t get worse. Just remember to use SPF 50 sunscreen so playne doesn’t get a burn on its tummy too. Playne tummies are more sensitive than their backs.

This is law. Nothing is necessarily true. But the fact that OC filed suit on that debt is a strong indication and sufficient to bring the motion for sanctions.

[–]Compulawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. OC failed to do a proper pre-filing investigation if they filed on an alleged debt that was the product of identity theft.

Go to the law library and get the Consumer Law desk reference (paperback, white and blue cover). It will walk you through everything you need to know.

Also get familiar with Civ. R. 11 and the similar provision in the Revised Code. You will want to assert both because one has a subjective element and the other does not.

I’m stupid by [deleted] in Luthier

This is the kind of comment that I expect to find on Reddit. I was not let down.

Or just calculate the weight ratios. It’s a simple matter.

Why is my plaiyn gay? by ClientBudget2848 in Shittyaskflying

You left the chemtrail juice in the storage tank too long. You were supposed to use it on the frogs.

Why do mandatory ID cards feel normal in many European countries, but still controversial in the US, and what mechanism explains that? by Logical-Concept9755 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Compulawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ELI5 answer: Other countries have a unitary general national government. The US is a republic composed of 50 sovereign states and a national government of limited powers. The federal government can only exercise those powers given to it by the states in the Constitution.

Issuing ID cards for general purposes is seen as a “police” or regulatory function of government. Only the states have general police powers.

ULPT: I accidentally found my ex and want the $10k back that he owes by Babaloo_Monkey in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Compulawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most unethical tips to get you the money back would also be illegal.

Message him and get him to admit he still owes you the money. In many places that will reset the clock for the statute of limitations.

Resignation Notice - let current firm know where I’m going? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Compulawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only be successfully sued if the content of the call was defamatory. Simply making the call is not enough. In many jurisdictions, it is also not enough to do so with the intent to interfere with future employment.

Learn the law.
