First - I would like to compliment the OP for bringing up this important topic.
Reminded me of this answer:
Sir, I am deeply embarrassed and greatly humiliated that due to unforeseen circumstances over which I have no control, the inner workings and hidden mechanism of my chronometer are such in accord with the great sidereal movement over which time is commonly reckoned, that I cannot with any degree of accuracy state the exact time , Sir; but without fear of being very far off, I will state that it is so many minutes after the Xth hour.
Phone calls are generally subject to being monitored and recorded. However a prisoner can request an unmonitored phone call to his lawyer, which will be arranged.
Keep in mind I worked in prisons not jails, so different rules apply.
There is an implied 30-day warranty on any work done for you by a contractor, or at least in any state I’ve lived in. You may also have recourse after that period if there is what is called a “latent defect” in the workmanship. For instance, if a contractor has specified treated lumber for a project and it’s found a year later that rot occurs because the lumber was not really treated, you can probably get satisfaction in claims court.
Never make final payment before work is completed and inspected to your satisfaction. Payment implies acceptance.
Yeah, but if they keep doing that it turns into a refusal. Many a DUI subjects try to postpone the test by belching or trying to make themselves gag.
Some other layman things:
*You do not have a right to see the reading on the radar/laser/vascar unit. People insist they do but they don’t. I have a couple of reasons why I don’t want you getting out of your car along side a busy road.
*No, you are not automatically 10% at fault in a traffic accident just for being there. That’s a bullshit con insurance adjusters came up with decades ago to lower the amount they pay you for damages. Generally there are only 3 levels of fault: 0, 50%, 100%. YMMV depending on if you’re in a no fault state or a tort state.
But this is a thing. For example when we send records to an attorney, pursuant to a subpoena, their office becomes subject to the act. And their request in fact says they acknowledge such, in the boilerplate small print.
That’s because you work for a health-care provider and the attorneys you are sending the records to therefore become business associates and must comply with HIPAA under at least some circumstances. If your patient requested the records from you and then gave them to their attorney (or their employer) , HIPAA would not apply ( although other regulations might).
I recently learned in a thread just next door that Ottawa is in Ohio. And also that some intellectually and geographically challenged deluded people live there.
Heh. I had a guy screaming that Abraham Lincoln lived solely to give us freedom of speech and that he had absolute freedom of expression because of Lincoln.
Beating the shit out of your common law wife is a form of expression? Very creative.
I believe you — and apologize for having gotten this wrong, if it’s no longer the case, or if it never actually was the case — but google just turned up this example image of a Kansas death certificate, which displays the SSN right under state of birth, near the top left corner.
I am a damn idiot, and I apologize. Her cert doesn’t look much like that image, but on second (or third or fourth) perusal, I found her SSN. Right after her DOB and Gender.
