Opinions on legal fees may differ. Interesting to see one of the scholl administrators was seemingly having a free peep show: http://media.philly.com/documents/MotiontoCompel.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I really hope some criminal charges against individuals are following the settlement with the school authority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 As usual, the bulk of the award went to the attorneys for "legal expenses." The entire legal system is by now just a cash cow for attorneys. Encourage people to sue and then keep 2/3 of what they get. Nice deal if you can swing it. And yes, this was an atrocious example of breach of privacy, but still it sickens to see how much the legal buzzards can chew off the corpse of the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the FBI had the opportunity to take the defendants to court - I'd assume the likely outcome wouldn't suit them re: their role as a domestic spying agency. Elect some politicians who believe that an individual has the right to privacy and who have the integrity not to see themselves as having a price. [Here in Australia (Victoria) we just had the pollies pass a law that required phone taps / computer searches on journalists and MPsbe ok'ed by a senior public servant of some ilk. The rest of us oiks have no recourse. Great stuff.] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
