  • New York teachers stunned to learn some students can’t read time on old clocks after phone ban comes into play

  • I'm a millenial, too. Even I use my phone or computer to tell time more often than anything. Before smart phones we had some solid years relying on wall clocks and watches. It was a skill we kept using after we learned it, unlike a lot of kids who haven't needed to flex that muscle since they were taught.

    Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway

  • I can't find this story backed up anywhere outside of news aggregator sites. Futurism has blatantly made shit up before.

    Where's the full video if he was recording? All we see is a guy holding broken glasses and a woman standing. Why didn't the journalist reach out to the guy for more details? Or try to find out who the woman was? Why no other angles, people recording with their phones, other witnesseses posting to social media?

    90% sure this is fake and or staged.

  • Man given DUI after driving toy Barbie Jeep through Prince George

  • Just a heads up this story is over two months old. That said, here are some key points:

    • The accused, Kasper Lincoln, is officially titled "Barbie Jeep Driver."
    • Kasper Lincoln just wanted to get a slurpee and his license was suspended.
    • He was driving on the sidewalk until it ended.
    • He was arrested by an unmarked police car. A Ghost Car, if you will.
    • The lawyer has, among her certificates, a "Bad Ass Award" and a "DUI Defense" certificate. They're next to each other.
    • Kasper Lincoln did his hand signals and everything.

  • I'm way oversimplifying here:

    Judges can only make decisions within their scope, the extent of the law, and on the evidence before them. They do have some jurisdiction within their court, like holding someone in contempt, but they can't convict when no charges have been laid.

    Cops can be sued civilly, but since we're talking criminal law the charges would be determined by a crown. The problem is the whole criminal court process usually starts with cops arresting someone and presenting their reports, so good luck finding cops who will rat on a buddy. Or, a crown who wants to risk losing the cooperation of the police. I know one who moved to practice in another province after they went after an extremely corrupt detachment.

    The CCLA has done a bunch of work taking up cases to hold cops accountable, but the whole judicial foundation isn't just cracked, it's crumbling. Ask any half decent crown, judge, or lawyer in private what they think of the police if you want to get stuck down a depressing rabbit hole.
