$5 says the OP watched the security cam footage, realized he was wrong, and is too childish to come back and admit it like a grownup.
If he hadn’t watched it beforehand, once the camera was returned, there was no reason for the company to release the surveillance footage.
In that case, he would still have no basis for assuming anything about what was on it.
I agree it seems strange that the OP has not returned to clarify whether this person was specifically seen on tape stealing the camera.
That’s like saying if I hold up a bank, then come back an hour later and hand all the money back, saying, “Just kidding!” they can’t prosecute me.
I’d say they should *absolutely *have looked at that footage. Because they need to know if (a) the camera just came loose on its own, in which case they need to find some way to attach it better so it doesn’t get lost permanently next time; (b) some employee or vendor in the building stashed the camera there to retrieve later, in which case they can discipline the person, up to or including firing them; or (c) some student in the class stashed it there, or Mr. Pothead pretended to find it there, in which case they can ban that person from ever taking classes there again.
Continuing the hijack - while waiting for Cartooniverse to come and clear things up - and adding to Ioniser’s post, I know a Sunday League football team that consists entirely of stoners and manages to be competitive. I know a guy who spent 6 years getting a Bsc in Infectious Diseases, or some such thing, while smoking pot on a habitual basis.
IOW, lay off us… I mean, them potheads. They are far less harmful to society than pissheads.
Hmmm… an all-stoner Sunday football team?
Could that be a certain pro team from Green Bay that used to have a guy named Brent? (or whatever his name was-- we’ve forgotten all about him by now)
(To be honest-- I’m really just bumping this to get 'Toon’s attention)
No, it’s more like putting a pack of ribeyes in my purse at the grocery store, only to remove them before I check out. You can draw conclusions about my motives, but you can’t arrest me because I ultimately never committed a crime. That’s why guards don’t detain people for shoplifting until they’ve reached the parking lot.
On the other hand, demanding cash from a bank teller is, indeed, a crime, even if you were kidding, even if you don’t mention a weapon, even if you don’t HAVE a weapon, and even if you leave before getting the cash, because our fine legislators have deemed it to be a crime.
In many jurisdictions, concealing the merchandise is a crime and you would be prosecuted if caught.
Yes, I want to see your transcripts.
Not that |I really care that much about this particular side argument, (I only looked it up because I wanted to know myself) a quick google search did find this.
Not super detailed, but at first glance, pot does affect motor skills.
Wait, are you saying that, while we’re all waiting for Cartooniverse to come back and post – and clear things up for us all, he’s suckin’ on a big ol’ dooooobie…
… and is too baked to type?
What these people are missing out, is that a regular user of cannabis doesn’t get an extreme high unless the substance is really potent. And if it was that potent, you wouldn’t even want to drive. I’m gonna claim that to the average habitual pot smoker, smoking 5 joints and going for a drive, will be less of a hazard than drinking 5 pints of cider, for example. Tell me how you are going to prove differently?
That’s not how it works, my bud-smoking friend. You make the claim; you provide the evidence.
I AM the evidence.
Really? This is what you’re going with now? That’s cute.
No, you’re not the evidence. You are an anecdote. That is not the same as evidence. You’ve been hanging around here for long enough that I’m pretty sure you know the difference.
Is this like one of those TV court room scenes where the defendant, representing himself, proves he didnt murder this dude by proving conclusively that he was in fact murdering some other dude at the time?
Haven’t you figured out by now that DtC is not required to post cites for anything because his experiences and opinions are THE TRUTH, and that us mere mortals are not permitted to question his proclamations of What is Right and Moral and Just?
Can I use your car?
My pot is my cite?
This is even better than “My post is my cite.” I think we’ve reached a new level here, people.
