    In the USA is it legal to cuss out a cop?

    I’m sure that’s true. I did say it could be me.

    That’s the most lawyerly answer I’ve heard in a long time.

    In the USA is it legal to cuss out a cop?

    There used to be lots of very honest discourse on this site. Perhaps it’s ’The Cafe,’ me, or the general changes in the culture, but I find it very disappointing to have others put thoughts in my head or words in my mouth. Bykfixer made a very general statement. I responded to that general...

    You’re a lawyer because you went to law school and passed a bar exam. Not because you work or worked in a law library.

    Again, I fail to understand whatever point you think it is you’re making. Perhaps the Cafe is exempt, but I thought trolling was generally considered verboten. If you’re asking an honest question, then my answer would be absolutely not. I would hope that you could come to that conclusion on your...

    I certainly hope nobody comes to CPF for legal advice.

    I’m not exactly sure what you ‘tried.’ I’m also not sure who has to learn what ‘the hard way.’ This is very confusing and most likely entirely fruitless.

    I think you missed something in translation as there is a rather large discrepancy in your example and the original post I quoted. Nowhere was resisting arrest or interfering with an investigation mentioned, among other issues. Simply saying words does not constitute disturbing the peace. The...

    raggies random remarks ....

    A good fix is having a kid. The process is good fun. The consequences aren’t so bad for us men. You learn a lot about yourself and become well trained in the art of constant discomfort. Talking to people will seem knee high to an ant compared to all your new problems. Go on, give a shot. Or a...

    In the USA is it legal to cuss out a cop?

    I don’t think that’s accurate. If the perp were to incite violence, like saying “Hey all of you, help me attack this cop” then yes, that would be illegal. If a crowd gathered because the perp was simply exercising his first amendment right to be a nasty SOB I don’t think there’s a charge that...

    What was your Good deed for the day?

    Buying the drug addicts food doesn’t work. They sell or trade it for more drugs. It’s a great thought and probably still works a lot of places, but not here.

    What was your Good deed for the day?

    I’m definitely of the mind that right thing to do is the right thing to do, for sure. Doing the right thing has always been it’s own reward. However, with experience, I have found that the right thing to do can sometimes seem wrong or cruel and things get complicated. For example, giving a...

    What was your Good deed for the day?

    Plenty of problems everywhere, my friend. More than enough for everyone, everywhere. There are a lot of people here I benefit from and even more who benefit from me. A lot of poor kids, elderly and special needs kids specifically. That’s purpose. It’s the most valuable commodity available beyond...

    What was your Good deed for the day?

    So, maybe not in the spirit of the thread but I’ll share something nice someone did for me today. I get allergy shots. I have very bad allergies, to a lot of stuff. Mammals, dust mites, molds, pollens, etc. I am told that I am unusually sensitive to the shots and my allergist has had a real...

    What was your Good deed for the day?

    I don’t believe in altruism, period. When I do something nice for someone, like slaying a dragon that wanted to wipe out humanity, it benefits me more than it does them. I think it can be healthy to share acts traditionally viewed as altruistic as an example to others on brotherly love and...
