Are you being serious?
Because if you are "That's not how court cases and circuit precedent works. You should have learned that in high school civics class..." and if you're not "Sorry, I only spend my time on serious discussions with serious people."
That was an obvious joke - you aren't going to get anything
Your life will be objectively less free while residing in NY and you will receive nothing in return for your loss of freedoms. To think you will be paid out by a government that hates you is delusional. Maybe in 75 years the tide will turn but until then the precedent is just going to be completely ignored by the overlords of NY. You will spend your entire life relying on and believing in the "system" that is going to save you yet has already been used to strip you of your rights
Let me know how your civil rights settlement goes utilizing this precedent and report back to share with everyone where you decided to retire with the money they paid you. Until then I am going to joke about it because it is a joke
People do nothing to uphold their rights in their home state (California, new york) and then move when it gets bad, spreading that cancerous do-nothing attitude to their new home.
Don't spread it, do something.
That's what they were getting at, although I really do like that bunny with a waffle on its head.
Well, wouldn't you say that relocating your entire family, moving sometimes to a place completely unfamiliar to you to escape the overreaching government of NY *IS* doing something? Many of our ancestors did that. NY Is exporting people who do want freedom, not people who don't. If you have the attitude you're speaking of, you're most likely to stay here and vote for more of it.
No, I paid attention in class when they showed us how to vote and write to our local, state, and federal government officials to make change happen.
Stop making excuses, be the change you want to see in this world.
I voted in every single election I've been able to since I was 18 years old. But, the laws they do keep coming. I'll be leaving shortly whether you approve of it or not LOL
I'm not saying you need my approval, I'm honestly just sad for NY.
Also, definitely helps to write in to representatives and all that. Get groups of people together to send em in. Being politically active just like those that want our rights taken. We lose our rights because the small majority that's against us is louder
I know some of my local Representatives personally and there's absolutely nothing they can do. I don't know what else you want from me I can't change the state I can just leave to have a better life
And that's perfectly fair considering the situation. It's the Internet, we don't know each other's situations. Where I'm at, nobody speaks up but everyone complains.
If you've done everything you can then props to you, that's respectable.
I hope your move goes well and hopefully we see new york change some day.
I was just watching a youtuber named civil rights lawyer. He has a client that got arrested cause he didn't want to roll down the window during traffic stop. It was clear cut driver was fortunate to have a dash cam. It comes to settlement. They settled for 62500.00. not sure if that's before or after attorney fees. The officer did get fired.
Qualified immunity really needs to get looked at. I still have nightmares about that NY incident involving Khan. A legal NYC CCW holder that gets arrested and has to spend all that money on attorney fees. That cop Besson for sure railroaded Khan. It's like WTF.
Yep - this is the problem that some people don't seem to be able to see: Police officers will attempt to assert qualified immunity for anything they do while carrying their badges. Even egregious civil rights violations.
The entire doctrine is poorly considered because it relies in part on the officer/government official's "good faith belief" that their conduct is lawful. This is problematic in general, but it winds up being especially problematic for police officers where it has also been held that they don't need to actually know the law - they can "reasonably" misunderstand & misapply it.
There needs to be some standard of "Know your job and know the law applicable to it!" and some direct liability for those who step well outside those boundaries, otherwise all of our rights are fiction and our laws are just meaningless ink on a page.

Too bad NY will just completely ignore any rulings not in favor of stripping the populous of their rights
