Virginia Supreme Court Should Protect Drivers From License Plate Surveillance

... today to protect the state's residents from a police surveillance database created with automated license plate readers ( ALPRs ). We've been following law enforcement use of ALPR technology a long time, because the information that these readers collect can reveal sensitive details about our lives. Police departments that use ALPRs mount them on patrol cars or on stationary objects and leave them on all the time, meaning that the police can learn where we are and when, whether it’s at our house of worship, our doctor’s office, or a political meeting, and the police can track this data over time. Harrison Neal, a resident of Fairfax County in Virginia, was concerned by these ongoing privacy violations. Fairfax County Police Department uses ALPRs that read every license plate that goes by, and stores the records for up to a year. Mr. Neal’s plate was ...

It was either cut a bad (from Naor’s perspective) deal where some of the four new Supreme Court justices would be moderates whom she at least did not object to, or be run over by Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked’s political train and be stuck with four conservatives. Israeli Right wins historic fight over Supreme Court justices. One way or another, the new appointees to the court were going to give it a more conservative flavor. Several years ago, the Knesset passed a law stating that seven of the nine members of the Judicial Selection Committee must support a candidate for him or her to be appointed to the Supreme Court. Though there are more politicians on the committee than justices, the presence of three justices has meant that, effectively, the Supreme Court’s consent is needed to get an appointment ...

Girl, 13, Wins Supreme Court Case Regarding Service Dog

... Wonder - to class. The justices ruled unanimously that federal disability laws might allow Ehlena Fry to pursue her case in court without first having to wade through a lengthy administrative process. The ruling is a win for advocacy groups that want to make it easier for disabled students to protect their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. School officials had argued that administrative remedies are an easier and less costly way to resolve educational disputes. Writing for the court, Justice Elena Kagan said exhausting the administrative process is not always required in such cases. But she said further fact-finding is needed to decide whether Fry can pursue her case in court. Lower courts had ruled against Fry, saying she first had to try informally resolving her dispute with the ...

Transgender Teen To Press Supreme Court Case Despite Trump Administration Guidance

... in the nation's schools. The Obama administration's interpretation of that law required schools to allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice, regardless of the sex listed on their birth certificates. In a letter to public school administrators Wednesday, officials with the Justice and Education departments withdrew that guidance, writing that they want to "further and more completely consider the legal issues involved," particularly the role of states and individual school districts in setting education policy. Some religious conservatives, privacy advocates and officials in red states immediately praised the Trump administration for taking steps that they hope will restore power to the states and help protect the safety and privacy of non-transgender students. The school board in Gloucester County, Virginia, where Grimm attends high school, also praised the decision, which they suggested could bolster their argument that their policy requiring Grimm to use a ...

How Supreme Court Just Made Things Easier For Patent Infringers

... with an infringement suit by making no more than one of the components of an infringing product in the U. S. In a separate concurrence, Justice Samuel Alito clarified that more than one U. S. manufactured component still might not constitute infringement. Even assuming that’s true, a wise manufacturer can certainly treat one component as a safe harbor. In practice, this could lead to absurd results. In some instances, a single component might be by far the most important element of a manufactured article – and an infringer could make it in the U. S. intending to ship it abroad for assembly with other, trivially important components. In defense of its opinion, the court said that it didn’t want U. S. juries to have to engage in the difficult process of figuring out whether a particular manufactured component was substantial enough to justify applying infringement law. That sounds plausible on the surface. But in reality, juries make such judgment calls all the time. The court’s true worry seem to be that juries would be too sympathetic to patent holders, finding a component to ...

How do you dress differently when you're skating. I don't like to wear shorts if I'm skating. I have kind of expensive taste. I wouldn't wear—. The Gucci scarf you have on, for instance.
