Bullshit, period. The CHP workers were just plain wrong to release the photos unless they go through their public information office. Ya, once out they are in the wild, but they shouldn't BE in the wild. The boss has control, the pics are CHP property. Suing the CHP will probably be worthwhile to the family ($$$, hey I pass no judgment on that) but it will Definitely tighten up any loose cannons at the CHP. The workers that did this should be held strictly accountable for any pain and suffering by the family through their negligence and the CHP must be made to enforce that on the rest of them. Oh, BTW I am in that line of work and it would never occur to me to pull such a stupid stunt. DMC

A couple of years ago I was driving in Maine during a snowstorm. The yellow and green light bulbs were clear, but the red ones, apparently LED bulbs (I was told that), were totally covered with windblown snow. A dangerous situation. I was told they don't produce enough heat to melt the snow off them. I suggested little heaters for them. Think about it...

From TFA, the judge ruled against her for lack of response to the suit. Actually rather correct of the judge, I'll bet what's left of my eye teeth that the RIAA did NOT say, "Oh, she's in and out of the hospital. Serving her was a real pain in the ass"... The attorney that's taking her case said something about a 60 page service. Not clear when he got the docs. So, start from the beginning. Check for defects in the proof of service then take it from there. IANAL, but I do follow this stuff as a, um, hobbyist. Who knows, they might not have libeled her, but they might have defamed her character, so that action might just be possible. Will be fun to watch, break out the popcorn. D
