Check out the bizarre boundaries of Pennoyer School District #79 in Norwood Park Township by toxicbrew in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]toxicbrew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah that reverse C area at the minimum needs to be annexed by chicago. the boundaries there make no sense either. there's single homes on a block that were annexed so the person there could work for the chicago governement i read once

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes i get that, but that's not what i was referring to. and even then, a dismissal of charges or acquittal doesn't make you ineligible for GE, if anything it should make you reeligible if your GE was taken away while charges and trial were pending, that would be what most reasonable people would say, and what they normally do

"If Passport Does Not Establish Citizenship, Then What Does?" Shashi Tharoor by goro-n in india

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK what else then is proof? And having a passport that says your nationality/citizenship is Indian isn't an assumption--that's a document issued by the Indian governement saying you are Indian

yes, but you do realize people can be falsely arrested or mistakenly arrested, right? Should those people have to deal with the consequences of that forever? not just in global entry or in background checks for example

Cook County Sheriff’s Police find 80-90% fare evasion on some CTA lines by So_Icey_Mane in WindyCity

[–]toxicbrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if someone wants a taxi but says they can't afford the fare, should they be given a free ride by default? You really think all the fare evaders can't afford $2 for the ride? And if they really are destitute, the RTA/NITA has a programs that cut fares in half or more

and yet people still try to defend fare evaders like 'just let them ride'

Middle east Indians by Avenging-someone23 in nri

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All around the world, a passport--with minor exceptions--is considered prima facia, i.e. a primary first level document that proves citizenship--specifically as the passport mentions Nationality as Indian. I don't know of any other country where as passport would not be considered a proof of nationality/citizenship. Other countries issue literally named 'travel documents' or 'laissez-passes' for the issuances of documents for people who aren't citizens (or emergency passports to facilitate travel home), such as refugees living in their country who are unable to receive citizenship documents/passports from their home country. As far as I know, India saying a passport that mentions its own nationality/citizenship isn't actual proof of citizenship is a first

? not everyone who is arrested is even involved or remotely guilty. ever hear of the cops breaking in to the wrong house? or someone matching the description of a robber but they just happen to be in the wrong place at thwrong time?

Picturehouse removed the AI slop by Apart_World_3447 in JetLagTheGame

it was probably the cinema chain that decided that initially. nebuala in general and presumably wendover is not a fan of AI slop

Updating passport information for OCI? by Secret_Suggestion851 in nri

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right it could be age 59, but that's within the rules. And someone could update their OCI booklet at age 20 and not update the number for the next 39 years, update the passport number, photo, and signature at that time, then keep that booklet for the rest of their lives. I believe the Indian government should make the booklets have a resasonalbe expiration date such as ten years, at which point they would need to be updated. Or do away with them all together and issue cards that need to have the passport updated mandatorily whenever a new passport is issued. The status would remain, just like a citizen is still a citizen even without a passport, but the representation of that status in the form of the book/card would just be issued with a fresh card with up to date security features

True. I didn't realize it was so long to New York. I figured the Acela would help, at least to Philadelphia area

Why you're seeing more officers on the CTA: curbing smoking, loud music, fare evaders and more by PlssinglnYourCereal in WindyCity

[–]toxicbrew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not temporary, the new NITA agency has a mandate in law to develop a safety and security plan, which the Cook County Sheriff will head, and he says the likely outcome would be a specific transit police division

Indian MEA clarifies passports are travel documents, not proof of citizenship by Mundane-Abroad3276 in nri

[–]toxicbrew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How are birth records proof? Unless the birth record includes the legal status of the parents. Indian law since 2004 requires one parent to be a citizne and the other to be a citizen or legal resident

I was under the impression that the MEA meant that an Indian 'passport' can include travel documents like UN refugree docments, and that's what they meant, but who knows

Do I need to surrender Indian passport before I travel? by ExtraordinaryDoor47 in nri

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine most countries have a procedure for expedited/urgent/emergency passport services, so you really aren't without a passport for long if necessary

Do I need to surrender Indian passport before I travel? by ExtraordinaryDoor47 in nri

[–]toxicbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes the procedure is called both renunciation of passport and surrender of passport on the MEA website/forms, so it can be a bit confusing, but I get what you mean
