149 Minnesota Supreme Court: Vehicle interior is a ‘public place’ if driven on public roads

The case of a BB gun under a driver’s seat led the courts to consider whether the interior of a privately owned vehicle is a public place when driven on public property.

https://tinyurl.com/3r489ubk


My hot take:
Bigger ramifications than just that. Cops will no longer need "permission" to search anything if you are in a public place. Your wallet is a public place when you are in abpublic place. Your purse, briefcase, backpack, etc are all "public places" now if you are in public.

After the apparent failures of Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time (though they're still in production because Amazon has a shit ton of money), there are signs that Amazon is potentially changing course.

They have a God of War series in development, and they canceled all work on it a few months ago, resetting it with Ronald D. Moore in charge.

The new Rings of Power series is seeing a time jump forward, implying a potential reset of some kind.

And yet, I'm not hopeful. There's a lot of ruin left to be had.

210 Raw Story: GOP lawmakers 'are quietly fuming' over 'awful' DOGE cuts: one anonymous House Republican, "I think you're going to see a clash when they ... start abolishing [agencies]. Say like USAID, right? We authorized that. That's a creature of Congress." "If they try to do something like that, then you're going to get into a constitutional argument or crisis,"

Rep. Bacon (R-NE) agreed, noting some federal workers who were fired had to be hastily recalled because the DOGE employees didn't do their homework.

Fuming? While in the fetal position in the corner of their office begging, “please don’t hit me, please please I love you sir”.

All they have to do is gather together and impeach Trump. They have the means to change things but they refuse to do it.

Every Democratic member of Congress needs to demand Republicans bring impeachment charges....Oh fuck it no one is paying attention anyway.

211 My hot take:
Bigger ramifications than just that. Cops will no longer need "permission" to search anything if you are in a public place. Your wallet is a public place when you are in abpublic place. Your purse, briefcase, backpack, etc are all "public places" now if you are in public.
Posted by: rickb223

Read the case: Minnesota v. Kyaw Be Bee. The case is wholly statutory interpretation of Minnesota law. That makes it dubious application to US Scotus caselaw which has NOT declared the inside of cars as 'public'. Instead, they allow something called plain view where the cop can look to see contraband in a legal stop for moving violations or during a Terry stop. Apparently, the defendants had tools and a jack in their hands near a car and then left immediately in another car when observed.

They were stopped (Terry) and Bee had a suspended driver's license. Normally in that case, the car is impounded and would have been searched anyway (inventory) but this was apparently a search incident to arrest (thus searching the grabbable area around the defendant applies (Chimel v CA and others)). Sloppy case that a better lawyer might have won.

249 Gauguin here also bears a slight resemblance to Alan Rickman.

The Moon and Sixpence was Somerset Maugham's 1919 retelling of Gauguin's story, how he gave up a life as a successful (?) stockbroker to flee to the South Seas and paint. Like a lot of Maugham's stuff, it's very readable. The first-person narrator, a writer and playwright like Maugham himself, observes the central character and meets people who knew him.

Influential shareholder but he has cashed out a lot of his shares. 9 percent ownership and his ex wife has another couple of percent.

Good call as Amazon is increasingly reliant on AWS cloud services for its big profits while its margins have been shrinking in retail (and the creative A/V division is probably a loss leader).

That is as stupid a take as it gets. Taxing intercolony commerce in some cases, or banning it in others, is one of the things that the King did.

The early states did the same beggar thy neighbor taxation/regulation to the point that the interstate commerce clause was widely acceptable to about everyone from the Anti Federalists to the VA and NJ plans. Biden was directly contravening a statute to give her 'permission' that violated the faithful execution of the laws provision in the US Constitution.

297 Read the case: Minnesota v. Kyaw Be Bee. The case is wholly statutory interpretation of Minnesota law. That makes it dubious application to US Scotus caselaw which has NOT declared the inside of cars as 'public'. Instead, they allow something called plain view where the cop can look to see contraband in a legal stop for moving violations or during a Terry stop. Apparently, the defendants had tools and a jack in their hands near a car and then left immediately in another car when observed.


Regardless:
The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the interior of a vehicle is a “public place” if it is driven on public roads.


End result? Minnesotans are fucked. Until a case is appealed to SCOTUS. Until then, the cops are going to have a field day and totally push the limits.

Posted by: Uncle Ben at February 20, 2025 10:19 AM (G5+As)


Alaska Eskimos (there's more than one kind) still mostly don't mind being called that (there are exceptions). It's typically Canadians who've been brainwashed by stupid white communists into thinking "Eskimo" is some kind of slur (it isn't).


The main groups of Eskimos in Alaska are Inupiaq (who are very similar to the Candian Inuit) and Yupik (who definitely DO NOT like being called "Inuit"... it's like calling an Italian "French" because they both speak a romance language). Historically the two groups didn't get along.

The reason they often don't mind being called Eskimos is because that distinguishes them from the other main group of Alaska Natives ("Indians"). If the Inupiaq and Yupik didn't get along, that was a minor spat compared to the relations both of them had with the Indians. There are also Aleuts, who are "sort of" Eskimos (they speak another related language).

If you don't know what someone is, it's usually best to call them a native (the official term is Alaska Native).

354 Life was a lot better when school buses had ejection seats.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 20, 2025 10:43 AM (8zz6B)

-----------

It's kind of surprising that our school busses in 6th grade (first year of forced interracial bussing) in '72-'73 didn't have seat belts -- not sure if they do now.

Anywho, one of my classmates was sharing her cheetos with our school bus driver (he apparently was violating policy by eating while driving) and he started choking on one lodged in his throat as we were flying down WB I-15. He went off the freeway (fortunately mostly a desert field) while my classmate started (instinctively) pounding on his back ... eventually dislodging the cheeto.

He was able to stop the bus after a couple tires blew out from hitting a big ditch pipe and we went through a chain-linked fence and a sign showing the distance in miles to the stateline and L.A.

Needless to say, it could have been very bad (all the girls were screaming & crying, except one who was pretty butch then and became a lesbian); I was a bit terrified. Also, needless to say, the driver was sacked.

Posted by: rickb223
=======
A lot depends on whether the specific law in MN was challenged by the defendant as unconstitutional in their appeal. Not apparent from the record that it was done albeit they could have done that at the appellate level. Basically, states can go above the US Constitution in providing protections to residents but not below the US Sup. Ct. 4th Amendment rulings. Reading the opinion, it appears all to revolve around statutory interpretation of a MN law where a 4th Amendment challenge to that was not part of the appeal.

Strangely enough, judges are actually only supposed to address the legal questions actually posed rather than looking over every possibility. That is why a damn good appellate lawyer is needed for criminal matters because if you have shoddy representation at trial and do not preserve issues by objections, you are in a deep hole legally speaking.

I would not be surprised if there was a Silver age Batman story involving gladiators and submarines. The stories were bonkers then.

No; I'm not. I ve seen you post for years. You care about people and you've been through some hard, hard times. I can get argumentative too, but it never feels good afterwards. As I have told Scogg, ASHQ is not the place to come to lower strezz

And James Madison is smart too and loves his family but he doesn't like me so I'll leave it at that.

443 The laws regarding anabolic steroids can vary greatly depending on the country in question. There
are several countries that are similarly strict to the
U.S. but the U.S. is about as strict as it gets. At the same time, there are
many countries that are far more lenient when it comes to anabolic steroids.
Regardless of where you live, understanding the
law is it pertains to where you live is important. But if you’re
looking for high quality anabolics and you want to guarantee your legal safety, you are encouraged to visit the sponsors here
at Steroid.com. The sponsors here at Steroid.com can legally provide you high quality anabolics without a
prescription or the need for legal concern.
​Before running off to do a cycle that some guru has recommended on some bro-science forum, you would be
wise to get a better understanding of potential side effects.
We advise running it for cycles of 2 to 3 months, then take a 2-week break before starting a
new cycle. After doing my research, I concluded that D-bal
is completely natural and does not cause any adverse side effects.

If you don't fully commit to making your muscles grow, it's not worth buying this
