Dear Sir/Madam,

FIRE! FIRE!
HELP ME!
123 Carrendon Road.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

All the best,

Believe it or not, the nebulous nature of the department actually is what makes them more likely to have qualified immunity because their role hasn’t been “clearly established” by case law. You couldn’t even talk say what “actions as a part of their duties” are. I’m not a fan of qualified immunity.

As far as suing the government over what DOGE does, good luck figuring out where an agency deputized by executive order fits in here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Tort_Claims_Act

Civil cases against government officers are however subject to qualified immunity while ones against the government are subject to sovereign immunity.

He’s not going to wait even 90 days before he starts playing this game again. It’ll only take until he sees himself being portrayed as weak for backing off on some fucking cable news opinion spot. I don’t even give it a week.

He wasn’t detained either. He was charged by mail with a summons(postal requisition) and told to show up for his court date in May. In the US an investigative detention means stopping you in one place while in the UK detention generally only means bringing you to the police station and holding you for a charge. In the UK they call the former a stop. You’d have to necessarily be arrested for the later. He didn’t have either happen. I don’t even think he’s in the UK right now(which is likely why they did a postal requisition for a crime as serious as rape without issuing an arrest warrant and starting the extradition process). They want him to come in on his own.

Supposedly they did interview him at one point but that’s about it.

I thought he wasn’t even in the UK to be arrested. Did he go back?

Edit:

Brand has not been placed under arrest, the Met tells NPR. The agency says he was interviewed and then charged via “postal requisition” — a court summons informing him of the charges.

I guess the OP thinks he got arrested by mail since that’s not even the article title.

You’ll be hard pressed to find lawyers who are both competent and willing to directly lie to a judge.

Dude actually looks like he could pull off short 80s jean shorts if he tried.

Exactly. It seems people really need it spelled out to them: he’s saying protectionism works in the long term but they’re old and will all be dead(a keynes quote “The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead”). He’s wrong though. Protectionism, which are essentially self sanctions, can develop an industry as much as not. Nothing’s a vacuum.

I agree, though increasing snowpack seems to be the most plausible idea, though still a greatly wasted effort.

Florida doesn’t particularly need cloud seeding(they get plenty of rain and don’t need to increase snowpack on the mountains they don’t have), so it’s kind of a useless exercise. The places that do do it mostly seem to be wasting their time though. The climate change attempts to increase albedo and thus lower temperature are just research exercises at this point.

Everything’s in soft focus with some aha song playing the the background as the grinder keeps grinding.

Here at Lemmy we’ll deliver fucking idiots right to your computer.

I think you could take an opossum. They generally forget they can bite while hissing. A puma on the other hand…

Can you milk your car while breeding a new one?

Hey these guys we’ve never heard of are cheap, let’s hire them to transport stuff for us.

Green Day was peak sad and horny.

Just because I have COPD doesn’t mean I won’t shit on your floor.

Hey you should get HIV too so then if they have to nuke your bone marrow and then replace it with someone else’s you can get cured and and up in the news.

Since this is a shitpost, was it butt cancer?
