Well done. Is there any hint on whether they will appeal to SCOTUS?Chalk one up for the good guys...
Appeals court backs corner crossers in Wyoming public lands case - WyoFile
Federal three-judge panel supports decision that corner crossing in Wyoming’s checkerboard area is not trespassing as long as private land is not touched.wyofile.com
This is America. The citizen doesn’t have to prove innocence, that’s a presumption. It’s all on the govt to prove you broke the law, you should never try to prove you didn’t.
They could, but I predict SCOTUS won't take it. SCOTUS only hears about 1% of the cases filed every year.
In a civil suit, as this was, both parties will be expected to argue the facts. There's no presumption of innocence in a civil suit.
Don't want to talk to cops? Fine, don't call them when someone messes with your stuff. It's a 2 way road.
Correct. Civil suits are based on "a perponderance of evidence" or more likely to have happened than not. Justice scales are tipped at 51%, which is not the same as beyond a reasonable doubt. Case and point, OJ Simpson. Found not guilty of 2 counts of murder, but was found liable in the wrongful death suits that followed.
Did you watch the video? I love most cops, have a few buddies that are in LE, one warden too. I’ve asked them all to watch that video, and they all say it’s spot on. My GW bud said he would have only written about 10% of the tickets he wrote if people would have taken the advice in that video.
Go for it.
I did watch the video. I work in LE. That video is spot on, and yes I agree that many people give us information that we wouldn't otherwise know if they didn't tell us. People talk themselves into handcuffs and tickets all time.
Don't think I'd try my luck asserting UICA to a state-owned chunk.
This statement tells me what kind of LEO you are. I have family and friends in LO and they are nothing like you.
"Incriminate yourself at our behest or we will refuse to be a professional police force."
You don't know anything about me.
Not what I said. I don't need you to tell me everything that you have ever done. The video that was referenced was done by a defense attorney, who's job it is to keep people from being found guilty of crimes. I also said that the video was spot on. The post that I referenced that you quote tells of a video where the guy is saying not to speak to the police ever, for any reason. So, with that advice from that attorney, that would also be to report a crime, because the nasty, scary police could use that 911 call against you.
I watched the video as the poster asked. It's well done, and I stated 2 times that it is correct. People who give statements to police about their involvement, or non involvement in crimes tend to get charged more than people that don't. My statement was sarcastic in nature, but definitely has not been taken that way.
