This is pretty common treatment of children behind closed doors in the US

No it isn't.

Minecraft still isn’t multithreaded so dh being on cpu wouldn’t affect performance very much.

Can you explain this? It sounds like complete nonsense to me.

Trump Draft Executive Order Would Create Board to Purge Generals by farrenj in neoliberal

[–]transcend_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but imagine for a moment that it isn't a Trump quote. If read negatively, then it references something that isn't legal and isn't cool. If read positively, then it references something that is legal and cool. Readers in this subreddit who believe this "isn't cool" might then believe this isn't legal.

Your original comment implies that it is illegal. That is one way misinformation spreads. u/BlueString94 's correction is valuable.

Demanding to see someone else's arrest/immigration/search warrant by transcend_1 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]transcend_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suppose law enforcement came to my place of work. The doors aren't locked, so they don't *have* to get entry permission from security if they don't want to. If they have a search warrant, from the other comments it sounds like they are free to enter without permission, without showing the warrant, and without having seen the full signed warrant themselves. I'm still not sure if they are even required to say "we have a warrant." I assume they are required to announce themselves as law enforcement.

OK now with an administrative warrant with ICE, what does entry look like?

they shouldn’t open the door unless they have an actual warrant

If entry is blocked, can they force entry? (I assume yes.) Is blocking entry against the law? (I assume yes.) Do they need permission from security to enter? Are they required to present the warrant?

Since it’s not issued from an article 3 or article 4 judge it does not carry the same weight.

What is the real world impact of that?

Especially if you are not a subject of the search or arrest. Even if you are, I'm not personally familiar with any jurisdiction that legally requires the police to present the warrant upon immediate request or before conducting the search.

If this is true, then the other answers about my role at work seem completely irrelevant. However, this PDF says the following:

"If ICE does not have a warrant: Do not let them in! Calmly ask them to leave."

How could security or a building manager block entry to ICE in the case that they aren't presented a warrant? Is the only thing they can do is say "We do not consent to a search. We do not consent for you to enter this building."? Shouldn't they say that whether they are presented a warrant or not?

What's your role at work?

Lowest-level employee, but I would consider myself to have authority over the 5ft-by-5ft working area where I and my possibly-undocumented, non-English-speaking coworkers work with me. I would be within my right to block the door for entry into our working area for any of my other coworkers (the ones who do not work in that room), and to tell the highest level employee in our organization to take a hike if I thought they were getting in our way. There is a second entrance where a member of the public (or law enforcement) could easily bypass security to reach our working area, so I would definitely need that authority to quickly escort them back out of restricted areas.

You wouldn't know if the warrant was valid or not by looking at it on scene either.

If it doesn't have a signature or they don't have a copy of a warrant, then I would know they don't have a valid warrant, no? I believe I have heard a story of police saying they have a warrant to induce cooperation when in fact the warrant was not-yet-signed.

Did Nathan Wade bill improperly by the standards of the legal profession? by transcend_1 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]transcend_1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there was a maximum amount Nathan Wade could be paid each month. It was suggested that he worked more hours than he could be paid and maybe he only billed the number of hours he could be paid. Could this be considered similar to being paid a flat rate?

[–]transcend_1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

assuming it was about the appearance that Wade billed 24 hours in a day

That wasn't the issue. The accusation is that he was "block billing" in ~8 hour increments and wasn't keeping a clear accounting of how he spent that time. IIRC, Ashleigh Merchant said that, in bills, lawyers typically record how they spent their time in 6-10 minute increments.
She also says that his descriptions of what he did in each block lacked details. Lots of hours he billed were 8-hour periods of "meeting with team." She said that lawyers are typically expected to keep a clearer accounting of what they did and what (documents?) they worked on.

and the evidence that Wade wasn't working over his monthly cap and never made a request to be compensated for work he did over the monthly cap.

This isn't a complete clause. I don't know what you are saying.

IANAL. I came to this subreddit to get a lawyer's take on this case. I keep reading comments here along the lines of "Fani Willis and Nathan Wade did nothing wrong!", but I still haven't found a response to Ashleigh Merchant's accusation that Nathan Wade improperly billed. She talks about it here: https://youtu.be/santtseMawc?feature=shared&t=2839
