Suffering

Your honor my clients have informed me that while the defence has tried to drag this case on as long as possible despite the facts being clear, their rivals, Avidity, have now opened a CIT department. This, combined with the inability to bid on government contracts while this case drags on needlessly, means the lost earnings have increased significantly. The damages have been recalculated. Attorney fees: $2,000,000 Lost earnings: $12,000,000

Your honor, once again the defence is trying to pull the wool over your eyes. They've just tried to show you the current regulations as administered by the LSPD, not the ones issued by the City which were in place when my clients applied for, and lost, their licenses. If you say so. Below we have attached the regulations in place at the time my clients lost their licenses. Your honor I'm sure you'll be familiar with these regulations from the Cohen v. Los Santos Police Department case.

We ain't arguing that our clients weren't at fault. We're arguing that they shoulda recieved a strike, not a disqualification. And I quote "2. List any damages sustained or fees accrued. Include billing rate for attorneys, expert witnesses, etc." Many states do not use the American Rule as a blanket rule. SA is one of these states. You got two options missy. Offer us a settlement you can swallow, or drag this out and cost yourselves more. Cohen v. Los Santos Police Department set the precedent. Civilians recieve the punishment that applies when they broke the law, not as the law is currently. Thank you your honor. I will speak with my clients and recalculate their potential lost earnings for another 72 hour period.

The Sheriff’s Department sent my client this letter then refused to contact them for compensation.

Apologies your honor, force of habit, what I meant to say was that my clients committed no crime, and this is the letter that supports that claim. Deputy Murphy detained my clients simply for invoking their second amendment rights and defending their lives. As a result, he received disciplinary action. I believe this evidence alone is enough to quash the defence’s Motion to Dismiss. My clients deserve their time of day.

Your honor they did not conceal their firearm nor “walk to the mall”. They were attacked at their vehicle, removed their firearms from safe storage within their vehicle, and defended their lives by their vehicle. At no point was their weapon concealed, and the Sheriff’s Department admitted this. We have a letter from the Sheriff’s Department admitting the defendants had committed no crime, and that the arresting officer was culpable, violated arrest policy, and neglected their duty. We are prepared to submit this letter as evidence. ((As for the PF violation policies the posts have been removed from the forums as the applications moved to the LSPD website))

Firstly, the defendants retrieved their weapons from safe storage within their vehicle. At the time of the incident, discharging a firearm in public while transporting received a strike. My defendants should have received a strike. Their licenses were revoked. Furthermore, the Guard Card, was not yet ready to be implemented for. It is unacceptable that people working in high-risk roles to keep this city going should be punished by this government’s failings to put the frameworks in place for them to apply for the licenses they need to complete their work in a safe and secure manner. Now I’m just a simple country boy, but the way I see it, you don’t tell the boy to pick up the bottle on the top shelf then beat him when he can’t reach it. Working people can’t wait for bureaucrats to get their affairs in order. They need to do their work, and as seen by the attack, they need to be armed to be able to do their work safely.
