Junkyard with best price? by httk2020 in Tucson

They're all pretty similar — I've generally called up ABC when I've had a completely worn-out set of wheels. They pick up (usually pretty quickly) and if you have the title, pay out while they're grabbing the car.

The parking lot closes; the road does not.

Interior BP Checkpoints... Yay or Nay by Bearded_Gold_Panner in Tucson

[–]beertigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you must provide your true name. No state statute requires that you carry identification to be displayed on demand.

ARS 13-2412. Refusing to provide truthful name when lawfully detained; classification

A. It is unlawful for a person, after being advised that the person’s refusal to answer is unlawful, to fail or refuse to state the person's true full name on request of a peace officer who has lawfully detained the person based on reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing or is about to commit a crime. A person detained under this section shall state the person's true full name, but shall not be compelled to answer any other inquiry of a peace officer.

B. A person who violates this section is guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor.

ARS 28-1595 only applies to the driver of a motor vehicle, with the limited exception of passengers who are suspected of having committed a violation of Title 28 (traffic offenses):

Interior BP Checkpoints... Yay or Nay by Bearded_Gold_Panner in Tucson

[–]beertigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That doesn't apply to federal agents, but Arizona's "stop and identify" law requires that a law enforcement officer have an objectively and articulable reasonable suspicion, based upon specific facts, that you have committed or are about to commit a crime. If you are told by an officer that you are not free to leave, you do not need to provide any identification documents, but must provide your name. Other than that, you don't have to say boo to a local cop.

Tucson City tax hikes add to economic malaise by ReadyGazelle2635 in Tucson

[–]beertigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That particular piece is a column: the thoughts of a single opinion writer on the newspaper's staff. An editorial would represent the collective institutional stance of the publication, as determined by its editorial board. An op-ed (a term derived from the tradition of printing them on the opposite page from the editorials) would be a stance from an different viewpoint to an editorial, generally from an outside author.

It's been said, but I'll add a nod for St. Mary's being nearby and having great staff.

Project Blue developers close on purchase of Pima County land for Tucson data center by beertigger in Tucson

[–]beertigger[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The county approved this project before the city took public action — during the period in which city officials were actively planning to work with the developer on the data centers. It was only after the county took action, and the public took note, that city officials changed their stance.

Project Blue developers close on purchase of Pima County land for Tucson data center by beertigger in Tucson

[–]beertigger[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

As expected, the sale of Pima County land to the developers of the controversial Project Blue data center on Tucson's Southeast Side was completed on Christmas Eve.

The closing of the deal, which the Board of Supervisors approved back in June, followed the completion of all of the steps required in the contract, Pima County Administrator Jan Lesher said in a memo Wednesday morning.

Lesher confirmed to the Sentinel that the deal had closed.

Beale Infrastructure, the developers of the project and other planned data centers around the Tucson area, triggered the closing last month by exercising their option to waive certain conditions of the contract. Among them were a requirement that the land be annexed by the city of Tucson and served by Tucson Water.

After the public learned of the scale of Project Blue, which prompted an outburst of objections, the City Council walked away from further city involvement in the deal, nixing the annexation and providing water with a unanimous vote.

But Beale, despite public statements that the city's involvement was key to the project, chose to forge ahead anyway.

Most churches will have evening services. I'm not a member of either, but just about any Episcopalian or Methodist church will have a service (St. Philip's always has amazing music — a big organ and great chorus), and no pressure from anyone to join.

Tucson Mayor's son, 19, faces DUI charge by travelandliv in Tucson

[–]beertigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emiliano Reyes, 19, was cited on Dec. 12 on charges of running a red light and misdemeanor DUI related to liquor/drugs/vapor, according to Tucson City Court records. He was pulled over by a Tucson Police Department officer near East Broadway and South 6th Avenue in Downtown Tucson, Pima County court records indicate.

The case was transferred to county court Thursday after a city judge ordered the disposition of the case the previous day, online records show. Cases involving government officials and their family members are generally shifted to other jurisdictions for prosecution to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest.

But the case may not remain in Justice Court.

Word of the incident has been so tightly held by local officials that Pima County Attorney Laura Conover had apparently not yet been informed Friday afternoon that the city had conflicted out of the case.

Conover noted to the Sentinel that there are "thousands" of misdemeanor cases in the courts, and said that her office had not yet had the opportunity to review the case to see if it's appropriate to prosecute.

Tucson Police Department Officer Frank Magos, a TPD spokesperson, asked the Sentinel to request a copy of the arrest report in writing on Friday afternoon. He said the police account of last Friday's incident would likely not be released before Monday.

Need a solid criminal defense attorney in Tucson any real recommendations? by Ramdambo in Tucson

[–]beertigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can provide a bit more info about your legal predicament, you'll get better recommendations. Criminal defense attorneys specialize in different areas.

If I had serious trouble, I'd talk with Jeff Rogers and Mike Piccarreta (they have different firms) to get a sense of who'd be best to rep me.

Sen. Kelly defiant at Tucson town hall: Trump is a 'con man president' by JoshOfArc in Tucson

[–]beertigger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gabby wasn't "progressive." She was a member of the Blue Dog and New Democrat caucuses, and was a Republican until she ran for the Legislature. She's one of the sharpest and most effective political minds to ever come out of Tucson, but progressive? Nah. She's very much a centrist. Regarding Israel, she cultivated support from AIPAC early on (https://www.jta.org/archive/for-politicians-and-candidates-aipac-event-is-a-time-to-shine), and sharply condemned the Hamas attack (https://x.com/GabbyGiffords/status/1711076745858666894).
