[16:28] <tommorris> yes, I do hope that once they finish prosecuting the bankers for their massive fraud, they can get on to the minor property damage done by some beardy anarchists. [16:28] <tommorris> Oh wait. [16:29] <quanticle> I mean, Wells Fargo didn't give the people it foreclosed on wrongfully due process before they kicked those people out of hearth and home. [16:29] <jps> if they're smart they'll ask to represent themselves. In the US, only 1% of misdemeanor charges go to trial, because public defenders almost always plea bargain. They simply don't have the budget to do otherwise [16:29] <tommorris> Public interest defence. [16:29] <tommorris> Magistrates might convict [16:29] <tommorris> but no jury is gonna convict 'em [16:29] <jps> exactly [16:30] <Qcoder00> tommorris: Well the US allows for seziure of 'criminally acquired' assests.... but that's normally done by the court authorities, not on a whim by the Public [16:30] <jps> if they all tied up their cases with jury duty and full trials with cops called to testify, they'd be far more disruptive than chanting stuff outside the NYSE [16:30] <quanticle> jps: Hmmmm... I'm not sure about that. If you don't plea deal, you're often facing felony charges, and that can put a real hurt on your future employment prospects. [16:30] <Qcoder00> jps : XD [16:31] <tommorris> The only thing that surprises me about Occupy is (a) that it took this long and (b) that they haven't yet started using the guillotine against the bankers. �03[16:31] * BenjicMouse (BenjicMous@unaffiliated/benjicmouse) has left #wikipedia-en [16:31] <quanticle> Qcoder00: And when the courts and legislators are bought? [16:31] <Qcoder00> You are saying letting the system drown in paperwork has moe effect than pitching tents? [16:31] <quanticle> Yes, actually. [16:31] <quanticle> That's how you strike at a bureaucracy. [16:31] <quanticle> You turn its paperwork against it. [16:31] <Qcoder00> tommorris: It's America, you have to give the bankers at least some vestige of a trial ;) [16:31] <jps> if you represent yourself in the US, you can say anything you want at trial, including mentioning jury nullification (which public defenders aren't allowed to do) and explaining exactly what felony convictions do to job prospects to the jury (likewise) [16:32] <Qcoder00> jps: Are people represneting themseleves allowed to make pollitical speeches in court? [16:32] <jps> yes [16:32] <Qcoder00> :) [16:32] <Qcoder00> I can't imagine people making political speechs in a UK courtroom [16:33] <Qcoder00> Even though some closing statements by learned counsel can get quite heated. [16:33] <quanticle> jps: It doesn't quite work that way. You can't just get up and rant. You can only do that with opening and closing statements. In the meantime, the prosecution's going to have cops speaking against you. Who's going to cross-examine them? You? [16:33] <jps> but that's not as effective, statistically as going for jury nullification. You don't want to alienate the jury, you want to empower them [16:34] <jps> quanticle: yes, if they show up. If all the protesters ask for jury trials, even if they are represented by National Lawyers Guild attorneys instead of public defenders, there's simply no way the NYPD can send that many officers to court [16:34] <jps> s/even if/especially if/ [16:35] <quanticle> jps: The problem with your plan is that it only works if *everyone* asks for jury trials. If only one or two people go for it, they just get ground up by the gears of the justice system. [16:35] <jps> also if the NLG attorneys are there they can play videos of cops beating people bloody to "establish the context" and appeal _in... in limine(?)_ if they are denied �03[16:35] * DerkJan (~derkjan@62.140.137.137) has joined #wikipedia-en [16:36] <jps> I would love to see 100s of NY state appelate courts on what videos are allowed to be shown to a jury �15[16:36] * DerkJan (~derkjan@62.140.137.137) Quit (Remote host closed the connection�) [16:36] <jps> appellate court cases* �03[16:36] * Queen (~Ty@wikia/ZamorakO-o) has joined #wikipedia-en [16:37] <Qcoder00> jps: Hmm [16:37] <quanticle> jps: That's assuming the video doesn't get struck on procedural grounds. Also, you can only appeal on procedural grounds - you have to show how the jury trial violated established procedure. You can't just appeal on the basis of, "Well, I think they convicted me wrongfully." [16:37] <jps> of course they would have to be consolidated, and as such would probably make it at least to NY State Supreme, probably US Circuit before the trials could proceed [16:38] <Qcoder00> jps: With the accompanying hysteria from Fox News etc XD �06[16:38] * Qcoder00 grins evily [16:38] <tommorris> quanticle: the appeal would be on the procedural grounds of unfairly excluding evidence [16:38] <jps> but there are thousands of such videos, which is completely novel as youtube didn't exist until 1995 and the most recent US riots were '92 [16:38] <Qcoder00> And you can't get angry at people for engaging with the legal processs :) �03[16:38] * Ironholds (~bob@wikipedia/Ironholds) has joined #wikipedia-en [16:39] <tommorris> Ironholds: perfect timing. [16:39] <jps> Ironholds! What's on the feedback agenda today? [16:39] <quanticle> jps: You paint a very appealing picture. Unfortunately, it's just not true. The US justice system simply doesn't work like you think it does. [16:39] <jps> time will tell [16:39] <tommorris> Ironholds: feel free to tell quanticle, jps, Qcoder00 or myself that we are wrong on U.S. criminal appeals procedure. �03[16:39] * mabdul|busy is now known as mabdul|afk [16:40] <quanticle> Time, hell. I've been through the US Justice system (or at least a small portion of it). It's much more favored towards the prosecution than you think it is. [16:41] <quanticle> (Not guilty, thank goodness) [16:41] <jps> I've been a criminal defendant for protesting in three US states. More than enough to know what I'm talking about. You think I only get in trouble with arbcom? [16:41] <Qcoder00> quanticle: How did you end up in court? [16:42] <quanticle> Qcoder00: False accusation of shoplifting. I walk out of my uni bookstore. Alarm goes off. They search my bag. They find nothing. Store manager insists that I was acting suspiciously. Calls the cops. Cops believe store manager. Cops arrest me. [16:42] <Ironholds> tommorris: what? [16:42] <Qcoder00> quanticle: :O [16:42] <Ironholds> jps: "no idea at the moment" :P. My boss is in a meeting right up until the moment, so it's a shock [16:43] <Ironholds> *suprise [16:43] <quanticle> Qcoder00: Yeah. The DA dropped the case because, in his words, "I had been cooperative." Not because there wasn't a shred of evidence to hold against me. Because I had been cooperative. �15[16:44] * PhancyPhysicist (~charles@cpe-107-9-220-27.neo.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds�) [16:44] <Ironholds> uhm. there's a simple test here. �03[16:44] * Rainbow-Dash-EN (~mister_a@adsl-65-81-147-218.mgm.bellsouth.net) has joined #wikipedia-en [16:44] <jps> my favorite US protesting court experience was West Virginia, 1991. The Attorney General was literally 20 yards down the hall from where they tried to arrest me, and the Chief Judge of the Supreme Court was two flights of stairs up. They went from a dozen state troopers ready to haul me off to one very pissed off governor's receptionist scowling at me in the course of one bill signing afternoon [16:44] <Ironholds> jps, quanticle, you're both silly [16:44] <tommorris> Ironholds: the likelihood of an Occupy Wall Street protestor, if taken to court, being able to present videos of police brutality, and if not, whether it is likely that the exclusion of the evidence could/would be overturned through appeal [16:44] <Ironholds> jps, you are clearly talking about state-level law. quanticle, you are ambiguous as to what you are talking about [16:44] <Ironholds> however, if you are talking about state, you're probably in different states [16:44] <Qcoder00> quanticle: To some people being 'co-operative' is sigining the confession ! [16:45] <Ironholds> if you're talking about federal, jps is talking state. so you're both right :) [16:45] <quanticle> Ironholds: State level law [16:45] <jps> The most expensive part of the procedure involved was a 10 cent photocopy of the State annotated constitution. �03[16:45] * PhancyPhysicist (~charles@cpe-107-9-220-27.neo.res.rr.com) has joined #wikipedia-en [16:45] <Ironholds> quanticle: then you two may be talking about entirely different jurisdictions [16:46] <Ironholds> I'm not a criminal guy and I'm not a US guy, but I can think of examples where amateur-recorded videos have been used [16:46] <jps> (which said receptionist ripped up and handed back to me) [16:46] <Ironholds> shooting of Oscar Grant, say �15[16:46] * DARTHSIDIOUS2 (DARTHSIDIO@wikipedia/DARTH-SIDIOUS-2) Quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds�) [16:47] <tommorris> that's m:bash-able [16:47] <tommorris> <Ironholds> I'm not a criminal [16:48] <jps> California on the other hand, was absurd. The Assistant D.A. held out for a full year against my Motion to Compel Discovery before dropping the charges [16:48] <Qcoder00> tommorris: Ironholds is a civil person, unless people present bad arguments ;) �15[16:48] * PeterSymonds (~Peter@wikimedia/PeterSymonds) Quit (Quit: Leaving�) [16:48] <tommorris> Qcoder00: no, I can think of another way to make Ironholds be uncivil. it involves him having his laptop out, and I'm sitting next to him IRL and say "so, this thing on ANI" �03[16:48] * DARTHSIDIOUS2 (DARTHSIDIO@wikipedia/DARTH-SIDIOUS-2) has joined #wikipedia-en [16:48] <tommorris> then it all goes downhill [16:48] <Ironholds> tommorris: but it does so HILARIOUSLY [16:49] <Qcoder00> ANI == Admins not Insane ? [16:49] <Ironholds> tommorris: I am technically a criminal, but it was many years ago [16:49] <quanticle> jps: Heh. Nice. It's not that way everywhere, unfortunately. One of my colleague's sister was amongst the RNC8. She had her life put on hold for 2 years while her case bounced down from federal court to state court and from state court to county court. In the end, the case got dismissed, but during that two year time, she couldn't get a job, ... [16:49] <quanticle> ... she couldn't get housing, she couldn't get credit. She was a virtual pariah to American society. [16:49] <quanticle> The government doesn't have to obtain a conviction to ruin your life. [16:49] <Ironholds> amen [16:49] <Ironholds> you're indicted for kiddy-fiddling, you really think "but the jury hasn't convicted me yet!" will save your reputation? [16:49] <jps> ouch.

[21:46] <Ironholds> well, they didn't [21:46] <Ironholds> they decided that tomato toppings on pizzas had vegetables in them [21:46] <foks> hahaha [21:46] <Tired> But really, it's only partially correct because you can't call that "pizza" �06[21:46] * Tired knows a good pizza [21:47] <kylu> ...I was wondering what the hell my roomie was going on about earlier. [21:47] <foks> Well, it's that [21:47] <foks> :3 [21:47] <kylu> "We're having veggies for dinner" ... and she ordered a pizza. o.O; [21:47] <foks> Oh, haah �15[21:47] * Tanvir (~tanvir@wikimedia/wikitanvir) Quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds�) [21:47] <foks> It's for purposes of school lunches, looks like [21:47] <foks> Rather than just in general [21:47] <EdSaperia> meat and two veg, excellent meal [21:48] <EdSaperia> possibly a steak sandwiched between two pizzas [21:48] <foks> So you won't see pizza in the veg section [21:48] <Demiurge1000> from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Wiki_Conference_India : [21:48] <Demiurge1000> ... Plagiarism problems. For example; Article: "the Conference will have a distinct Indian flavour"... [21:48] <foks> ALSO [21:48] <foks> Isn't tomato a fruit [21:48] <Demiurge1000> Surely plagiarism problems /are/ the distinct Indian flavour! :D [21:48] <Tired> foks: It is. [21:48] <kylu> Demi: no licking Desi folks pls. [21:48] <foks> :3 [21:49] <Demiurge1000> kylu: Umm what is a Desi folk ? :S [21:50] <Demiurge1000> do you mean *kicking* ? But I still don't know what one is [21:50] <kylu> Desi (hi) "Region", generalized term to mean people from the Indian subcontinent and its surrounding areas. [21:50] <Demiurge1000> Aha! thanks [21:51] <Demiurge1000> ok, I get it now... only took me half an hour :) [21:51] <kylu> since "Indian" and related words tend to be either too specific or pejorative, they (as a whole) prefer "Desi" [21:51] <kylu> for instance, talk to a nice Desi gal in the UK and you're okay, call her a "Paki" and you're in for an ass-kicking. [21:51] <Demiurge1000> I have a suspicion many British sources use "the Indian subcontinent" and then craftily take out the word "Indian", to get round that problem [21:52] <Demiurge1000> don't worry, I was aware of P*** as being viewed as extremely unpleasant pejorative since I was about 9 :) [21:53] <Demiurge1000> it's one of the few words probably viewed more harshly in the UK than the USA [21:53] <Demiurge1000> so the potential for on-wiki chaos is err, I mean, there is a risk of WP:BEANS [21:54] <kylu> I understand the only worse thing to call someone is a "Yank" or "American" ;) [21:55] <Demiurge1000> American is what people mistakenly call Canadians, resulting in mild offence... I don't think British people ever actually use the term "Yank" unless they're using it in humour or are about 85+ years old [21:56] <foks> I use "Yank" to mean "American" [21:56] <foks> I think a lot of people do [21:56] <Demiurge1000> I've never seen you use it here...
