I hope you never have to experience a life-changing health event.

As far as I know, there's intentionally no recall procedure for federal offices. So, the system is designed so that districts do put up with turncoats. I would be open to changing that, but I'm not interested in championing such a change.

Steam has some good options. And, if you can play it on the Steamdeck, it will probably work on a Linux desktop.

But, if you have specific gaming needs, please check those first. Some games just don't work, and I wouldn't want your to trade OSes (which all have their own frustrations) and then find yourself unable to game.

Preferably find someone local that already uses Linux and is willing to help you out some. LUGs (Linux User Groups) used to be a thing; maybe there's one near you. A lot of Linux users like gaming these days, though plenty of them still dual-boot.

I did 1 mi. in 7:19 today.

I have done 9.2 mph in some 1-2 minute sprints for HIIT.

I'd want somewhere soft to land (when the treadmill threw me) and a first aid team ready if I were to even attempt 12 mph!

I'm not the biggest fan of Google, but I still have a Pixel and use Google Maps. It's not always easy (enough) to shape your purchases to your preferences exactly.

There is no ethical consumption under Capitalism anyway, so it's all shades of grey.

Lobster used to be considered barely edible cockroaches of the sea: https://enviroliteracy.org/did-lobster-used-to-be-poor-people-food/

Eating bugs does give me a bit of an "ick", but I'm sure I could get over that with enough processing or experience.

That's called an "inventory search", and this motion says what happened isn't an "inventory search" because they didn't follow procedure (and cites supporting precedence).

If they would have just hauled him in for processing on the false identification, and then found the gun during an inventory search at the station, it would be better for the prosecution.

The motion also claims that the search couldn't be a... safety search? (I don't know the right term)... like checking a person for weapons, because before the search was initiated, the suspect was already handcuffed and separated from the backpack so didn't have access to anything in it that could be hazardous to the officers. Prosecution might argue is was a safety search because they were looking for a hazard that didn't need to be triggered by the suspect, like a timed device or just an incidental hazard.

IANAL, just an interested citizen.

This is just a motion. Judge will decide it's validity and the remedy. It might end up with the evidence excluded, but it might be that the prosecution just has to provide a different/stronger justification, or even be a nothing burger if the judge is unconvinced by the arguments in the motion.

I agree with your analysis if the judge does exclude backpack and contents as evidence.

Anything other than exclusion will be grounds for appeal, later, too.

Thank you!

Pages numbered 23 to 26 are the meat of the argument referenced in the image, for anyone else that wants to click through.

"[[l]t can hardly be said that the officer in this case followed the policy [for an inventory search] by conducting a search that included only the glove compartment, and upon finding a gun, leaving it in place."

Agreed. Siri (and auto-generated playlists in general) sucks for a lot of reasons, and gender almost certainly in there, but I doubt it is the primary driver.
