Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Handle on the Law Marginal Legal Advice, where
I tell you you have no case and want to
remind you. I have a new podcast that is up
and running and I invite you to hear it. It's
on all the platforms, Apple, Spotify, iHeartRadio app And it's
not what I do here on the Legal Show. It
is more what I do on my Monday through Friday show.
(00:22):
But it's brand new stuff, anything and everything, history, crazy stuff,
weird topics. It's just sort of all over the place,
and I'd love to have you hear it. It's the
Bill handle Show podcast and the website is the Bill
handleshowpodcast dot com, which is a lot of fun. All right,
(00:42):
let's do it. We've got a few phone calls up
starting with the oh no, no, no. Before we do that,
hold on a minute forgot that. I give you a
monologue at the top of the show. See what happens
is I'm pushing the podcast and so it screws me
up completely. All right. California, a California. We're always the
first in the nation and a lot of stuff. You know,
(01:06):
we are the first in the nation to mandate for
Thanksgiving you cannot eat real Turkey. You have to eat
tofu Turkey. Turkey a law. I don't know if you
knew that. Also, our idea of eating salads is to
go outside and start munching on bushes. That's what we
do in California. Okay. So here's a new one, first
(01:27):
in the nation, legislation that would require public universities to
hire undocumented students who don't have work permits. Okay, So
we've already started with illegal migrants quote undocumented. No one's
illegal anymore in the world, in the world of wokeness.
(01:48):
So the illegal aliens cannot be discriminated against. They have
the ability to go to university. And by the way,
because they're all poor, they are eligible for all these programs. Now,
what they couldn't do is work. Okay, that's illegal. Migrants
cannot work if they're illegal, can't get a work permit. Well,
(02:10):
University of California just said that that law is gone.
When it comes to UC students, you can work.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Hey doesn't stop, does it. And so this was Assembly
Bill twenty five eighty six. It is already passed the
Assembly and the Senate. Now it's up to Gavin Newsom.
Is he gonna sign it. What do you think California.
We're not very proud of California. We are number one
(02:46):
in many many ways, certainly in social programs, we are
number one, in taxes, we are number one in housing
prices that you can't live anywhere in southern California we are,
or Bay Area we are number one. And then you
have all of these entitlement programs by far number one.
(03:08):
All right, let's go ahead and take some phone calls.
David even up for a while. Okay, what can I
help you with?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I had called in last week and three kind of
broke up, but I had filed the emergency order of
protection after.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Finding out my son was assaulted by his mother and boyfriend.
And I had to change up because I've had custody
of these kids since August.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
First, Okay, did you get the did you get the order?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yes? I did?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Okay, so now you basically have custody and you got
the order, So now what Now?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I had to change up areas to meet for the
bus to drop the kids off, and in so doing,
the mother and boyfriend has passed me up where I'm
dropping these kids off. They have property not too far
from the area. I drop them off and it's the
(04:12):
closest area that I can get them to school. And
in so doing I called and made reports on that.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And I don't know you can, okay, I make reports
about what that. You have to move a place where
you drop off the kids.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Now, just for the no contact order, just fall into
report that you know they're in the vicinity.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, But let me ask you, do they have contact?
Are they contacting the kids?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So who you report that you're in the same vicinity
or they're in the same vicinity? Who are you reporting
that to the sheriffs? Okay? And they're saying that I'm
assuming they're saying since there is no contact, there's no
violation of the order. Do I have that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay? So what is you what do you want to happen?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, now, the other day I had to share a
toun of my house and and me an op that
she put on me saying that I am harassing her
for dropping these kids off to school and I've got
absolutely no contact.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Oh yeah, that's easy. I mean, yes, you have an
order of protective order. You you would either you ignore
it and if she calls the sheriff and says you're
in violation of whatever protective order. You say, I'm not
anywhere near her, so I don't think there's a problem.
You can also fight the protective order. Uh and uh,
(05:44):
you know she got an I'm assuming so she's got
an emergency protective order, and then there was a hearing
as to a permanent one and you can go to that.
You don't even need a lawyer for that. You walk
in yourself, or you demand one, and you're fine that.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah, that was going to be my question to you,
because I just recently fired the lawyer that I had.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, okay, So and why the lawyer wouldn't do what
the lawyer was supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh, there's a whole bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay, I don't want to go into that. But so
your question is, you've got a restraining order that says
for you to stay away from her, and you're not
anywhere near her. No, okay. Then you have a couple
of things. Then you have a then you have abusive process.
And what she's doing is falling is filing a court
(06:33):
document asking for an order which doesn't exist. It's like
me coming in and telling and asking for an emergency
protective order. Because you're harassing me and we've never met
each other and we lived two hundred miles apart or
five hundred miles apart. It's ludicrous and no judge is
going to uphol that. So you got to go in
do it yourself and say this is crazy. I've never
(06:54):
I've never done this. So you just asked for a hearing,
or you know, do you ignore it? I mean, that's
what I would do. And if the sheriff shows up
that you're in violation, you go have never been near her?
What am I violating?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
The other thing that she put inside of that as
I'm flipping through, she's documenting stuff that happened ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Okay. Then you point that out. Okay. Then you point
that out okay, And when the sheriff shows up that
you're in violation and or another order, you just going
this is ten years ago. And then again it's going
to be dismissed and you can go after her for
filing that kind of stuff. And Joe, last time I
tried you and it didn't work, So we're going to
(07:38):
go one more chance. Hello, Joe, welcome to handle on
the law. No, Hello, Yes, what can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Yes, yes, yes, Hi, thank you for taking the call
my call. I bought a car from a private party.
The vehicle had some issues. But point is he saying
that I tried to take it to DMB to get
the car registered and smagged and they said that it
would not I needed a new small certificate. But the
(08:10):
seller says that I bought the car as is and
that it's my fault. And the California law says that
the vehicle has to pass small before you can sell it.
So I'm in a jam here. I need some help.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Can you you do?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
How much did you pay for the vehicle?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Three thousand?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You just some small claims court and point out the law.
That's all you got it. And but the point is
you're going to get a judgment. But is the money
collectible from this kind of guy? From this guy?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
You know, I know his address where he lives in
all this type.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Of I understand. No, I'm sure you can serve him.
But what I'm saying is, is the money collectible? You
get your judgment for three thousand dollars plus your costs
of lawsuit, the filing fee, plus whatever cost to serve him.
If the marshals are doing it or even a private
process server. Does he have the three thousand dollars to
(09:07):
pay you?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Let's say he does not, then it's a it's a
waste of time.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Then it's a waste of time.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Can I do anything with the to get the car
registered in small?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
No? Not if it won't pass. Not if it won't
pass SMAG. You got to what you can do probably
is take it to a car repair place and pass
the small test. And that may cost you so much
money that it's not worth it.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Right. And then if even if I did tack that
on to the fee, there's a chance that I can't.
How do I collect on a real short? You know?
Can you tell me how to collect on?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm not going to tell you how to collect. There's
a bunch of ways to collect. I mean, the law
allows it. But again you have to he has to
have the money. Does he work for example? Is he employed?
And is he worked for company where you can file
garnishment against the company. Does he work for himself? As
he paid under the table? You can't do jack about that.
(10:08):
Does he hide his money? It depends on who it is, right, Yeah,
so it's uh. And then buying a car from a
private party and not getting the smog certificate. I mean,
you know, you take a risk. Also, what do you
expect for three thousand dollars in terms of the value
of the car? How old is the car?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Well, it's a two thousand and eight, but it's worth more.
I just got a bit of deal on the vehicle.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
But okay, then then spend if you spend a few
hundred dollars to smogg it, have it repaired. You did, Okay,
that's where I would go. I just said, if you
spend the money to smagged to repair it, then you're okay.
If it's a few hundred bucks. God, I love it.
(10:55):
I just love it. Denise, Hi, Denise welcome. I don't know, yo, Denise.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I guess it's their politics, right.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Okay, I don't know what's happening there, but I'll stay
to Denise on hold. I'm giving everybody a second chance today.
I don't know why I'm being so generous today. I
really don't. Maybe I'm running a temperature. Yeah I have
to be, because this isn't me. All right. I want
to tell you about LifeLock. Some reports are calling this
one the mother of all data breaches. This past month
(11:28):
two point seven billion records were stolen by cyber hackers
from a company called National Public Data and it provides
background checks to employers and other entities. Because that's what happened.
For a background check, you go to a company for that.
So many wreckords across the bord are stolen online. It's
(11:49):
amazing how vulnerable we are to online identity theft. We
have zero control over how well identity is protected by
these third party companies. So it's important to understand how
cyber crime and identity theft for affecting our lives, which
is constant. It's also important to know how to protect
yourself with Lifelock's help, and they've been helping me for
decades now. They monitor millions of data points a second
(12:14):
for your protection, your online identity protection. And here's what happens.
LifeLock detects and alerts you to potential identity threats you
may not even know, you can't even spot on your
own and when they spot it, they immediately get in
touch with you. And if you become identity theft become
a victim, a dedicated US based restoration specialist fixes it
(12:36):
guaranteed or your money back period terms apply it's easy
to help protect yourself with LifeLock. I do join save

LifeLock dot com. This is handle on the law. So
he has some interesting interesting questions. Now, John, did we
just lose John? Ah? Oh, it was one of the
better questions we had. Oh Man, Denise, Hello, Denise, h.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Yes, So I qualified back in April for the solar
program where they give you certain benefits if you qualify
before a certain date in April, which I did so
in a nutshell, I inquired from my solar salesman if
(13:42):
I added additional solar panels, would that disqualify me?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
And he said no.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
So yeah, So now they're saying that I was disqualified
and put into them three Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I understand that is by the way, if people don't
know how that works, it has to do with how
much the utility company pays you for additional electricity that
you put you put back into the grid. In other words,
whatever you don't use. For example, if your solar system
during the day, well it goes back the unused part.
(14:20):
And they used to pay you X number of dollars
Tier one, tier two, tier three, and it's tier three
you get virtually nothing. And so now you're into tier
Let me get this right, you're in tier three and
you were eligible for Tier two, but adding the solar
panels put you outside of tier two, if I get
(14:40):
this right, Now you're in tier three. And they told
you that if you add the panels when you ask,
you'd still be in tier two. Correct, correct? Oh oh god,
I got that perfectly. Okay, So here you are and
they told you that, and now you're in tier three,
which can be some substantial money. So what's your question?
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Question? Is do I who do I complain to? As
far as because see is involved too, that's okay?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Oh all right, that's u s CE Southern se Southern California, Edison.
So that's pretty high electricity rates. All right. When the
salesman told you you do you are eligible for tier
two if you add them. I'm assuming he put it
in writing, right.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
That would be the point. I don't My significant other
said that it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Was verbal Okay, so what are you so many email
you complain to whatever authorities? Uh, and they just say,
we never said that.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
No, the only thing I have is an email with
my concerns. So it wasn't like bloodied on.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I don't okay, I understand, but it wasn't. It wasn't
replied to no, we've phund Okay, how do you prove Okay,
you've got to prove that he made that representation? How
do you do that with no proof?
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Exactly? So, Uh, you just answered, yeah, you just answered
your question. Because it's it becomes a she said, he
she said, or he said he said, But the party
that's asking has to prove it and that's difficult to
do with uh no proof. Uh for sure. All right,
(16:26):
John is back. Great news. Hello John. What can I
do for you? Yes?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I Uh, my brother was in turn in the crypt
and Compton. There's been quite a lot going on out
there with the cryst being broken into, the brass name
place being taken off my brow.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And it goes back and.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Forth between Compton and Carson, who actually has jurisdiction. Now
I retired as a detective, and they could have set
up some type of uh, a surveillance on that place
and shot this long time and you should see the
condition of it is incredible. I actually saw years ago
man with an open calling. Look, they were looking for Drew.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
But I mean, okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Let me ask this. Let me ask this. Uh, when
the crypts are broken into, are the ashes stolen or
they left alone?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Well, the man I saw it was like they were
looking for Drew. This was years ago.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
When I was okay, well that doesn't help what happened
years ago. You're talking about that. Let's talk about what
happened to you. Okay. Was your brother's crypt broken into?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Well, his crip wasn't broken into, but his name the
brass nameplate Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The brass name flat. So they don't okay, so they
don't have appropriate security. All right, So now we're talking
about one of two things. Uh. Number one is is
the brass plate missing from your brother's crypt?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yes, I just moved recently.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I was how much does it cost? John? Which does
it cost?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I would say about close to four or five hundred dollars?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Okay, So number one, that's a lawsuit against the cemetery
for the replacement because they have a duty to make
sure that those placards, those brass plates are not stolen.
I think that's fairly easy to establish. The other thing
is cemeteries are regulated by and I don't know what
(18:26):
the authority is, but they are licensed, and they are regulated,
and you can complain like crazy to the proper authorities,
and I'm assuming something will be done. John, I can't
imagine they would let places just rot. And in terms
of who has jurisdiction, Well, someone has jurisdiction. I mean
(18:48):
it's licensed and there is an address, and so you know,
bouncing back and forth doesn't do them any help. So
those are the two ways to go. Is number one,
make sure that you get your plaque replaced. Number two
is you know, and I don't know what authority controls
overseas cemeteries. Now, as a as a retired detective, you
(19:12):
still carry a weapon. Correct, You're allowed to carry a weapon,
a concealed weapon. Is that true?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
No, I'm not I'm not allowed to.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oh you're not allowed to. I thought I thought retired
cops are allowed to carry weapons.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Well, no, for me, with some other issues that happens.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Okay, got it, all right?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
All right?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Did you shoot anybody?
Speaker 4 (19:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh that's okay. I was gonna go into a great
story there, but you know you didn't shoot anybody, so yeah,
so what okay? So anyway, those are the two places
to go and see what happens. Yeah, that's a drag.
I mean, that is not fun with when someone does
that mean that's your loved one, you know, although you
know I for me, I don't care for me. I
(19:55):
don't care. You're gonna throw me in the ground. Not
throw me in the ground. And no one's going to
show up anyway.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
U Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
All right, Mike, Hello, Mike, Hey Bill.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
I'm wondering. Oh, the La County they send your property
tax twice a year and you can check your title
on there, making sure that it's still under your knee.
I was wondering if there's any other way in the interim,
like in between two figure out whether or not somebody's messing.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, I don't know. I think you can check title
anytime you want. It's a public document. You can do
it every day if you want. You just go online.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Okay I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I just go online. So yeah, it's easy now, I okay,
that was easy.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
Rich Hello, Rich, Hey Bill, I got a two part question.
I was up to date with my child's part up
until twenty seventeen, and they went retroactive on me because
of a new job, and now I owe twenty two.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Thousand in arrears.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
I just went to get a passport to go out
of the country for work and they denied my passport.
So what first question is is there any way I
get a passport to go at work? And the second
question is is there way to impute these child arrears?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Now that's easy, Okay, that part is easy. You go, okay,
you go to court and you argue you don't owe
the money, although I don't know how you're going to
do that. Do you not owe the money? Well, I mean,
according to them, I owe the money. But no, I
don't care. I don't care. What kind of do you
There's a court order that says you owe the money? Okay,
how do you refute that court order on what basis?
(21:40):
Was the court wrong on that? It was?
Speaker 9 (21:44):
It was based on previous income that I'm not making anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
No, no, no, it doesn't matter that you're not making anymore.
The court order goes back to what twenty seventeen when
was court order issued?
Speaker 9 (21:55):
It was issued in twenty seventeen, Yes, sir, okay, So.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Now you're talking five years ago. Now can you change
the amount of money you owe? Absolutely. You go into
court and it's change of circumstances. You can't afford it anymore,
and the judge will look at it and go, okay,
you no longer owe. Well, how much do you owe
per month? What are you responsible for?
Speaker 9 (22:14):
I owe twenty two thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Okay, how much you pay for? How much per month?
Speaker 9 (22:19):
I pay eighteen hundred a month?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay. So you go into court and you say I
can't afford eighteen hundred dollars a month, and the judge
reduces it to whatever. But the back stuff you owe,
there's no way around that, all right, So you can't
refute that. Now. The connection to the passport, I have
no idea. I didn't even know that they don't issue
passports based on back child support. I didn't either.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
I was supposed to leave for Italy on Monday.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Oh, you're not going to Italy on Monday. And so
here's what you get to do. You get to contact
the state department and say, are there any programs where
that is waived because you're going to Italy for a job,
to pay your tax, your back child support. Okay, and
I don't know the answered. I don't know. You have
to call the state department and find that out. Now
(23:08):
here's two problems. Number one, can you do it at all?
Do they have a program? And number two, who do
you talk to? I mean, it's not like you call
up and you go, Hi, State Department? Can I help you?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You know, they don't jump on that. So so those
are the two problems. Wow, yeah, thanks, some interesting questions today. Hello, Chris, Yes,
I went to Macy's.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
I went to Macy's.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I'm blind, Chris, if you're blind, how do you know
it was a Macy's because I took an Uber there?
And okay, so the driver told you that's Macy's over there. Okay,
fair enough.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I have a question to Uber to go with the Macy's.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So, okay, got it? I understand. No, you cleared that up. Okay. So,
uh so you go to Macy's and what happens.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
I need some sunglasses, and I say, I asked the
first worker, can you show me where the sunglasserre?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (24:04):
They're back there, I said, all right, I asked another
employee Hey, can you show me where the sunglasses are at?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I'm blind?
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Oh they're back there to the left, all right, So
wown and for me, I'm going to take because I worked,
I had my vision until I was twenty I'm forty
years old. I had my vision until I was twenty five.
I worked at Rob's name, the men's department. I cannot
imagine seeing a blind person.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah I know, I know. Hey, did they at least
point to where the sunglasses were? No, they told me
they did point the point.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
See there you go? All right, So you couldn't see
them even pointing if they wanted to. All right, So
what's your question?
Speaker 7 (24:47):
I feel like I'm being discriminated.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You were like, yeah, well, I don't know if you're
being discriminated against. Uh, but they just weren't helping it.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
I feel like if I was a white old lady,
they'd be like, hey, let me escort you raco back,
you know, because.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
How do you that's the way you feel? But yeah, no,
have you hold on? Have you experienced little white old
ladies being helped? And number two would the same, uh,
with the same worker there who did help the little
(25:21):
old white lady to the sunglasses and refuse to help you.
My guess is you probably would have a hard time
with that one. Your question is were you discriminated against? Yes,
you were? Was it legal discrimination? I don't think so.
I think they can refuse. I think they can refuse
(25:42):
to help you. I think they can say atle bit interested.
Now if they don't let you in the store. Maybe
you know what, Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's a law
that says if someone is bothering.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
No, there's American with disabilities.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
No, I understand. I don't know if this falls under
the ADA. But let me ask you what do you want?
Speaker 7 (26:00):
I think it's a reasonable request?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Okay, of course it's a reasonable request, Chris, of.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
Course, do I have any type of repri Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
And what? Okay? Let me ask you that what do
you want for that? You're going to sue them and
you all you can do is eat one of two things.
Ask for money and ask for money, or have a
court order say they can't do that anymore?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
All right?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Which way do you want to go or both ways?
Number one? What is it worth? You think? What do
you think a judge is going to give you? If
the ADA has been violated, and I'll give it to you.
I don't know because I don't know a DA law.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Let me ask you this about Let me ask you
this law. There's a law attorney told me about that
after the Civil Rights Act was passed, that every African
American has the right to any service that a white
person does. So therefore I'm there to purchase some sun classes.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, how do you know it was, Chris? How do
you know it is because you were black as opposed
to just because you were blind? How do you established
they did this because you are black? They're both wrong either.
And and let me ask you this. What if it
was a black person that you were talking to, you
couldn't tell. But what if it was.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
There's four there's four four employees that were all black, right,
I don't know working at maybe so.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
There were four employees that wouldn't help you. I don't know.
I'm just throwing the question out, Chris, I'm throwing the
question out. I don't know if it falls under the ADA, Okay,
that number one, It may very well. I have no idea.
If they're in violation and you have been discriminated against,
uh other than a statutory amount how much money is
that worth that you've been discriminated against. How much is
that worth you think.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
I'm going to have the judge tell me. I have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I okay, well you have to ask for something, and
I want to.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Pin a life. I would ask for maybe two dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Okay, well that's not very much. Okay, all right, that's
all right, fair enough. I mean, I don't know if
you're going to get it with the law, but you're
certainly not asking for the moon. I mean there are
people that would have called and they say, I think
it's worth a million dollars. And the other thing is
the judge will order them to do it. But you know,
and I can see how pissed off you are, Chris.
I mean, I understand you've got discrimination, you're black, you're blind. Uh,
(28:15):
it's you know, it's not fun. I mean, you know,
I mean, you've got a lot of am I gonna
say courage? I think so? I think, yeah, you sounded
like a guy who is taking his disability and has
done a very good job with it. A lot of
people wouldn't wouldn't be where you are. But I don't
(28:36):
know the answer, and uh, you can certainly talk to
any civil rights attorney. They're out there. I mean, there
are millions of organization call the a c l U.
All you have to do is well, uh, not that
you could personally do it, but look up or have
someone look up civil rights attorneys and just talk to
them and see if there's something there. Bill. Yeah, a Bill,
(28:57):
you're a man.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
I've been with you for years.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Listens, if I were on TV, it wouldn't help. But
it's this is radio.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Sounds like a nice guy.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Doesn't he. They say, oh no, let me tell you
about your bad breath. And if you have bad breath,
and by the way, most of us do at some point,
that can be cleared up pretty quickly with Zelman's minty Mouthmens.
Zelman's minty mouth. Zelman's minty Mouthmen's goes way beyond that.
I don't know why they just only describe it as
(29:31):
the mint. You get a four way hit with Zelmans.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
One.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
The breath in your mouth gets cleared up because there's
mint on the outside of these little capsules. And when
the mint is done, you either swallow or bite into
the capsules and Parsley seed oil. They start going to
work in your gut where people don't realize a lot
of the problem starts with the foods that you eat,
and then if you have dry mouth, this thing works great.
(29:56):
And most importantly, probably for most people, you just feel good.
You feel like fresh and clean, and I mean not
in a douche way, but in a you know, above
the waist where you just feel good about walking around,
like what your teeth feel like after you brush your teeth.

This is Handle on the Law Marginal Legal Advice, where
I tell you you have no case and want to
remind you. I have a new podcast that is up
and running and I invite you to hear it. It's
on all the platforms, Apple, Spotify, iHeartRadio app And it's
not what I do here on the Legal Show. It
is more what I do on my Monday through Friday show.
(00:22):
But it's brand new stuff, anything and everything, history, crazy stuff,
weird topics. It's just sort of all over the place,
and I'd love to have you hear it. It's the
Bill handle Show podcast and the website is the Bill
handleshowpodcast dot com, which is a lot of fun. All right,
(00:42):
let's do it. We've got a few phone calls up
starting with the oh no, no, no. Before we do that,
hold on a minute forgot that. I give you a
monologue at the top of the show. See what happens
is I'm pushing the podcast and so it screws me
up completely. All right. California, a California. We're always the
first in the nation and a lot of stuff. You know,
(01:06):
we are the first in the nation to mandate for
Thanksgiving you cannot eat real Turkey. You have to eat
tofu Turkey. Turkey a law. I don't know if you
knew that. Also, our idea of eating salads is to
go outside and start munching on bushes. That's what we
do in California. Okay. So here's a new one, first
(01:27):
in the nation, legislation that would require public universities to
hire undocumented students who don't have work permits. Okay, So
we've already started with illegal migrants quote undocumented. No one's
illegal anymore in the world, in the world of wokeness.
(01:48):
So the illegal aliens cannot be discriminated against. They have
the ability to go to university. And by the way,
because they're all poor, they are eligible for all these programs. Now,
what they couldn't do is work. Okay, that's illegal. Migrants
cannot work if they're illegal, can't get a work permit. Well,
(02:10):
University of California just said that that law is gone.
When it comes to UC students, you can work.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Hey doesn't stop, does it. And so this was Assembly
Bill twenty five eighty six. It is already passed the
Assembly and the Senate. Now it's up to Gavin Newsom.
Is he gonna sign it. What do you think California.
We're not very proud of California. We are number one
(02:46):
in many many ways, certainly in social programs, we are
number one, in taxes, we are number one in housing
prices that you can't live anywhere in southern California we are,
or Bay Area we are number one. And then you
have all of these entitlement programs by far number one.
(03:08):
All right, let's go ahead and take some phone calls.
David even up for a while. Okay, what can I
help you with?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I had called in last week and three kind of
broke up, but I had filed the emergency order of
protection after.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Finding out my son was assaulted by his mother and boyfriend.
And I had to change up because I've had custody
of these kids since August.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
First, Okay, did you get the did you get the order?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yes? I did?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Okay, so now you basically have custody and you got
the order, So now what Now?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I had to change up areas to meet for the
bus to drop the kids off, and in so doing,
the mother and boyfriend has passed me up where I'm
dropping these kids off. They have property not too far
from the area. I drop them off and it's the
(04:12):
closest area that I can get them to school. And
in so doing I called and made reports on that.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
And I don't know you can, okay, I make reports
about what that. You have to move a place where
you drop off the kids.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Now, just for the no contact order, just fall into
report that you know they're in the vicinity.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, But let me ask you, do they have contact?
Are they contacting the kids?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So who you report that you're in the same vicinity
or they're in the same vicinity? Who are you reporting
that to the sheriffs? Okay? And they're saying that I'm
assuming they're saying since there is no contact, there's no
violation of the order. Do I have that.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay? So what is you what do you want to happen?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, now, the other day I had to share a
toun of my house and and me an op that
she put on me saying that I am harassing her
for dropping these kids off to school and I've got
absolutely no contact.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Oh yeah, that's easy. I mean, yes, you have an
order of protective order. You you would either you ignore
it and if she calls the sheriff and says you're
in violation of whatever protective order. You say, I'm not
anywhere near her, so I don't think there's a problem.
You can also fight the protective order. Uh and uh,
(05:44):
you know she got an I'm assuming so she's got
an emergency protective order, and then there was a hearing
as to a permanent one and you can go to that.
You don't even need a lawyer for that. You walk
in yourself, or you demand one, and you're fine that.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah, that was going to be my question to you,
because I just recently fired the lawyer that I had.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, okay, So and why the lawyer wouldn't do what
the lawyer was supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh, there's a whole bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay, I don't want to go into that. But so
your question is, you've got a restraining order that says
for you to stay away from her, and you're not
anywhere near her. No, okay. Then you have a couple
of things. Then you have a then you have abusive process.
And what she's doing is falling is filing a court
(06:33):
document asking for an order which doesn't exist. It's like
me coming in and telling and asking for an emergency
protective order. Because you're harassing me and we've never met
each other and we lived two hundred miles apart or
five hundred miles apart. It's ludicrous and no judge is
going to uphol that. So you got to go in
do it yourself and say this is crazy. I've never
(06:54):
I've never done this. So you just asked for a hearing,
or you know, do you ignore it? I mean, that's
what I would do. And if the sheriff shows up
that you're in violation, you go have never been near her?
What am I violating?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
The other thing that she put inside of that as
I'm flipping through, she's documenting stuff that happened ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Okay. Then you point that out. Okay. Then you point
that out okay, And when the sheriff shows up that
you're in violation and or another order, you just going
this is ten years ago. And then again it's going
to be dismissed and you can go after her for
filing that kind of stuff. And Joe, last time I
tried you and it didn't work, So we're going to
(07:38):
go one more chance. Hello, Joe, welcome to handle on
the law. No, Hello, Yes, what can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Yes, yes, yes, Hi, thank you for taking the call
my call. I bought a car from a private party.
The vehicle had some issues. But point is he saying
that I tried to take it to DMB to get
the car registered and smagged and they said that it
would not I needed a new small certificate. But the
(08:10):
seller says that I bought the car as is and
that it's my fault. And the California law says that
the vehicle has to pass small before you can sell it.
So I'm in a jam here. I need some help.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Can you you do?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
How much did you pay for the vehicle?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Three thousand?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You just some small claims court and point out the law.
That's all you got it. And but the point is
you're going to get a judgment. But is the money
collectible from this kind of guy? From this guy?
Speaker 5 (08:39):
You know, I know his address where he lives in
all this type.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Of I understand. No, I'm sure you can serve him.
But what I'm saying is, is the money collectible? You
get your judgment for three thousand dollars plus your costs
of lawsuit, the filing fee, plus whatever cost to serve him.
If the marshals are doing it or even a private
process server. Does he have the three thousand dollars to
(09:07):
pay you?
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Let's say he does not, then it's a it's a
waste of time.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Then it's a waste of time.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Can I do anything with the to get the car
registered in small?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
No? Not if it won't pass. Not if it won't
pass SMAG. You got to what you can do probably
is take it to a car repair place and pass
the small test. And that may cost you so much
money that it's not worth it.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Right. And then if even if I did tack that
on to the fee, there's a chance that I can't.
How do I collect on a real short? You know?
Can you tell me how to collect on?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm not going to tell you how to collect. There's
a bunch of ways to collect. I mean, the law
allows it. But again you have to he has to
have the money. Does he work for example? Is he employed?
And is he worked for company where you can file
garnishment against the company. Does he work for himself? As
he paid under the table? You can't do jack about that.
(10:08):
Does he hide his money? It depends on who it is, right, Yeah,
so it's uh. And then buying a car from a
private party and not getting the smog certificate. I mean,
you know, you take a risk. Also, what do you
expect for three thousand dollars in terms of the value
of the car? How old is the car?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Well, it's a two thousand and eight, but it's worth more.
I just got a bit of deal on the vehicle.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
But okay, then then spend if you spend a few
hundred dollars to smogg it, have it repaired. You did, Okay,
that's where I would go. I just said, if you
spend the money to smagged to repair it, then you're okay.
If it's a few hundred bucks. God, I love it.
(10:55):
I just love it. Denise, Hi, Denise welcome. I don't know, yo, Denise.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I guess it's their politics, right.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Okay, I don't know what's happening there, but I'll stay
to Denise on hold. I'm giving everybody a second chance today.
I don't know why I'm being so generous today. I
really don't. Maybe I'm running a temperature. Yeah I have
to be, because this isn't me. All right. I want
to tell you about LifeLock. Some reports are calling this
one the mother of all data breaches. This past month
(11:28):
two point seven billion records were stolen by cyber hackers
from a company called National Public Data and it provides
background checks to employers and other entities. Because that's what happened.
For a background check, you go to a company for that.
So many wreckords across the bord are stolen online. It's
(11:49):
amazing how vulnerable we are to online identity theft. We
have zero control over how well identity is protected by
these third party companies. So it's important to understand how
cyber crime and identity theft for affecting our lives, which
is constant. It's also important to know how to protect
yourself with Lifelock's help, and they've been helping me for
decades now. They monitor millions of data points a second
(12:14):
for your protection, your online identity protection. And here's what happens.
LifeLock detects and alerts you to potential identity threats you
may not even know, you can't even spot on your
own and when they spot it, they immediately get in
touch with you. And if you become identity theft become
a victim, a dedicated US based restoration specialist fixes it
(12:36):
guaranteed or your money back period terms apply it's easy
to help protect yourself with LifeLock. I do join save
up to forty percent off your first year with my
name handle as your promo code, or call eight hundred
LifeLock LifeLock dot com. Either way, use the promo code
handle for forty percent off eight hundred LifeLock or online
(12:58):
LifeLock dot com. This is handle on the law. So
he has some interesting interesting questions. Now, John, did we
just lose John? Ah? Oh, it was one of the
better questions we had. Oh Man, Denise, Hello, Denise, h.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Yes, So I qualified back in April for the solar
program where they give you certain benefits if you qualify
before a certain date in April, which I did so
in a nutshell, I inquired from my solar salesman if
(13:42):
I added additional solar panels, would that disqualify me?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
And he said no.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
So yeah, So now they're saying that I was disqualified
and put into them three Okay, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I understand that is by the way, if people don't
know how that works, it has to do with how
much the utility company pays you for additional electricity that
you put you put back into the grid. In other words,
whatever you don't use. For example, if your solar system
during the day, well it goes back the unused part.
(14:20):
And they used to pay you X number of dollars
Tier one, tier two, tier three, and it's tier three
you get virtually nothing. And so now you're into tier
Let me get this right, you're in tier three and
you were eligible for Tier two, but adding the solar
panels put you outside of tier two, if I get
(14:40):
this right, Now you're in tier three. And they told
you that if you add the panels when you ask,
you'd still be in tier two. Correct, correct? Oh oh god,
I got that perfectly. Okay, So here you are and
they told you that, and now you're in tier three,
which can be some substantial money. So what's your question?
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Question? Is do I who do I complain to? As
far as because see is involved too, that's okay?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Oh all right, that's u s CE Southern se Southern California, Edison.
So that's pretty high electricity rates. All right. When the
salesman told you you do you are eligible for tier
two if you add them. I'm assuming he put it
in writing, right.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
That would be the point. I don't My significant other
said that it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Was verbal Okay, so what are you so many email
you complain to whatever authorities? Uh, and they just say,
we never said that.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
No, the only thing I have is an email with
my concerns. So it wasn't like bloodied on.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I don't okay, I understand, but it wasn't. It wasn't
replied to no, we've phund Okay, how do you prove Okay,
you've got to prove that he made that representation? How
do you do that with no proof?
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Exactly? So, Uh, you just answered, yeah, you just answered
your question. Because it's it becomes a she said, he
she said, or he said he said, But the party
that's asking has to prove it and that's difficult to
do with uh no proof. Uh for sure. All right,
(16:26):
John is back. Great news. Hello John. What can I
do for you? Yes?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I Uh, my brother was in turn in the crypt
and Compton. There's been quite a lot going on out
there with the cryst being broken into, the brass name
place being taken off my brow.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And it goes back and.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Forth between Compton and Carson, who actually has jurisdiction. Now
I retired as a detective, and they could have set
up some type of uh, a surveillance on that place
and shot this long time and you should see the
condition of it is incredible. I actually saw years ago
man with an open calling. Look, they were looking for Drew.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
But I mean, okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Let me ask this. Let me ask this. Uh, when
the crypts are broken into, are the ashes stolen or
they left alone?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Well, the man I saw it was like they were
looking for Drew. This was years ago.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
When I was okay, well that doesn't help what happened
years ago. You're talking about that. Let's talk about what
happened to you. Okay. Was your brother's crypt broken into?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Well, his crip wasn't broken into, but his name the
brass nameplate Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The brass name flat. So they don't okay, so they
don't have appropriate security. All right, So now we're talking
about one of two things. Uh. Number one is is
the brass plate missing from your brother's crypt?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yes, I just moved recently.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I was how much does it cost? John? Which does
it cost?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I would say about close to four or five hundred dollars?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Okay, So number one, that's a lawsuit against the cemetery
for the replacement because they have a duty to make
sure that those placards, those brass plates are not stolen.
I think that's fairly easy to establish. The other thing
is cemeteries are regulated by and I don't know what
(18:26):
the authority is, but they are licensed, and they are regulated,
and you can complain like crazy to the proper authorities,
and I'm assuming something will be done. John, I can't
imagine they would let places just rot. And in terms
of who has jurisdiction, Well, someone has jurisdiction. I mean
(18:48):
it's licensed and there is an address, and so you know,
bouncing back and forth doesn't do them any help. So
those are the two ways to go. Is number one,
make sure that you get your plaque replaced. Number two
is you know, and I don't know what authority controls
overseas cemeteries. Now, as a as a retired detective, you
(19:12):
still carry a weapon. Correct, You're allowed to carry a weapon,
a concealed weapon. Is that true?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
No, I'm not I'm not allowed to.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Oh you're not allowed to. I thought I thought retired
cops are allowed to carry weapons.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Well, no, for me, with some other issues that happens.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Okay, got it, all right?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
All right?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Did you shoot anybody?
Speaker 4 (19:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh that's okay. I was gonna go into a great
story there, but you know you didn't shoot anybody, so yeah,
so what okay? So anyway, those are the two places
to go and see what happens. Yeah, that's a drag.
I mean, that is not fun with when someone does
that mean that's your loved one, you know, although you
know I for me, I don't care for me. I
(19:55):
don't care. You're gonna throw me in the ground. Not
throw me in the ground. And no one's going to
show up anyway.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
U Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
All right, Mike, Hello, Mike, Hey Bill.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
I'm wondering. Oh, the La County they send your property
tax twice a year and you can check your title
on there, making sure that it's still under your knee.
I was wondering if there's any other way in the interim,
like in between two figure out whether or not somebody's messing.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, I don't know. I think you can check title
anytime you want. It's a public document. You can do
it every day if you want. You just go online.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Okay I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I just go online. So yeah, it's easy now, I okay,
that was easy.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
Rich Hello, Rich, Hey Bill, I got a two part question.
I was up to date with my child's part up
until twenty seventeen, and they went retroactive on me because
of a new job, and now I owe twenty two.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Thousand in arrears.
Speaker 9 (21:03):
I just went to get a passport to go out
of the country for work and they denied my passport.
So what first question is is there any way I
get a passport to go at work? And the second
question is is there way to impute these child arrears?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Now that's easy, Okay, that part is easy. You go, okay,
you go to court and you argue you don't owe
the money, although I don't know how you're going to
do that. Do you not owe the money? Well, I mean,
according to them, I owe the money. But no, I
don't care. I don't care. What kind of do you
There's a court order that says you owe the money? Okay,
how do you refute that court order on what basis?
(21:40):
Was the court wrong on that? It was?
Speaker 9 (21:44):
It was based on previous income that I'm not making anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
No, no, no, it doesn't matter that you're not making anymore.
The court order goes back to what twenty seventeen when
was court order issued?
Speaker 9 (21:55):
It was issued in twenty seventeen, Yes, sir, okay, So.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Now you're talking five years ago. Now can you change
the amount of money you owe? Absolutely. You go into
court and it's change of circumstances. You can't afford it anymore,
and the judge will look at it and go, okay,
you no longer owe. Well, how much do you owe
per month? What are you responsible for?
Speaker 9 (22:14):
I owe twenty two thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Okay, how much you pay for? How much per month?
Speaker 9 (22:19):
I pay eighteen hundred a month?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay. So you go into court and you say I
can't afford eighteen hundred dollars a month, and the judge
reduces it to whatever. But the back stuff you owe,
there's no way around that, all right, So you can't
refute that. Now. The connection to the passport, I have
no idea. I didn't even know that they don't issue
passports based on back child support. I didn't either.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
I was supposed to leave for Italy on Monday.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Oh, you're not going to Italy on Monday. And so
here's what you get to do. You get to contact
the state department and say, are there any programs where
that is waived because you're going to Italy for a job,
to pay your tax, your back child support. Okay, and
I don't know the answered. I don't know. You have
to call the state department and find that out. Now
(23:08):
here's two problems. Number one, can you do it at all?
Do they have a program? And number two, who do
you talk to? I mean, it's not like you call
up and you go, Hi, State Department? Can I help you?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You know, they don't jump on that. So so those
are the two problems. Wow, yeah, thanks, some interesting questions today. Hello, Chris, Yes,
I went to Macy's.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
I went to Macy's.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I'm blind, Chris, if you're blind, how do you know
it was a Macy's because I took an Uber there?
And okay, so the driver told you that's Macy's over there. Okay,
fair enough.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
I have a question to Uber to go with the Macy's.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So, okay, got it? I understand. No, you cleared that up. Okay. So,
uh so you go to Macy's and what happens.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
I need some sunglasses, and I say, I asked the
first worker, can you show me where the sunglasserre?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (24:04):
They're back there, I said, all right, I asked another
employee Hey, can you show me where the sunglasses are at?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I'm blind?
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Oh they're back there to the left, all right, So
wown and for me, I'm going to take because I worked,
I had my vision until I was twenty I'm forty
years old. I had my vision until I was twenty five.
I worked at Rob's name, the men's department. I cannot
imagine seeing a blind person.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah I know, I know. Hey, did they at least
point to where the sunglasses were? No, they told me
they did point the point.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
See there you go? All right, So you couldn't see
them even pointing if they wanted to. All right, So
what's your question?
Speaker 7 (24:47):
I feel like I'm being discriminated.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
You were like, yeah, well, I don't know if you're
being discriminated against. Uh, but they just weren't helping it.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
I feel like if I was a white old lady,
they'd be like, hey, let me escort you raco back,
you know, because.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
How do you that's the way you feel? But yeah, no,
have you hold on? Have you experienced little white old
ladies being helped? And number two would the same, uh,
with the same worker there who did help the little
(25:21):
old white lady to the sunglasses and refuse to help you.
My guess is you probably would have a hard time
with that one. Your question is were you discriminated against? Yes,
you were? Was it legal discrimination? I don't think so.
I think they can refuse. I think they can refuse
(25:42):
to help you. I think they can say atle bit interested.
Now if they don't let you in the store. Maybe
you know what, Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's a law
that says if someone is bothering.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
No, there's American with disabilities.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
No, I understand. I don't know if this falls under
the ADA. But let me ask you what do you want?
Speaker 7 (26:00):
I think it's a reasonable request?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Okay, of course it's a reasonable request, Chris, of.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
Course, do I have any type of repri Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
What?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
And what? Okay? Let me ask you that what do
you want for that? You're going to sue them and
you all you can do is eat one of two things.
Ask for money and ask for money, or have a
court order say they can't do that anymore?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
All right?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Which way do you want to go or both ways?
Number one? What is it worth? You think? What do
you think a judge is going to give you? If
the ADA has been violated, and I'll give it to you.
I don't know because I don't know a DA law.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Let me ask you this about Let me ask you
this law. There's a law attorney told me about that
after the Civil Rights Act was passed, that every African
American has the right to any service that a white
person does. So therefore I'm there to purchase some sun classes.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, how do you know it was, Chris? How do
you know it is because you were black as opposed
to just because you were blind? How do you established
they did this because you are black? They're both wrong either.
And and let me ask you this. What if it
was a black person that you were talking to, you
couldn't tell. But what if it was.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
There's four there's four four employees that were all black, right,
I don't know working at maybe so.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
There were four employees that wouldn't help you. I don't know.
I'm just throwing the question out, Chris, I'm throwing the
question out. I don't know if it falls under the ADA, Okay,
that number one, It may very well. I have no idea.
If they're in violation and you have been discriminated against,
uh other than a statutory amount how much money is
that worth that you've been discriminated against. How much is
that worth you think.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
I'm going to have the judge tell me. I have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I okay, well you have to ask for something, and
I want to.
Speaker 7 (27:45):
Pin a life. I would ask for maybe two dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Okay, well that's not very much. Okay, all right, that's
all right, fair enough. I mean, I don't know if
you're going to get it with the law, but you're
certainly not asking for the moon. I mean there are
people that would have called and they say, I think
it's worth a million dollars. And the other thing is
the judge will order them to do it. But you know,
and I can see how pissed off you are, Chris.
I mean, I understand you've got discrimination, you're black, you're blind. Uh,
(28:15):
it's you know, it's not fun. I mean, you know,
I mean, you've got a lot of am I gonna
say courage? I think so? I think, yeah, you sounded
like a guy who is taking his disability and has
done a very good job with it. A lot of
people wouldn't wouldn't be where you are. But I don't
(28:36):
know the answer, and uh, you can certainly talk to
any civil rights attorney. They're out there. I mean, there
are millions of organization call the a c l U.
All you have to do is well, uh, not that
you could personally do it, but look up or have
someone look up civil rights attorneys and just talk to
them and see if there's something there. Bill. Yeah, a Bill,
(28:57):
you're a man.
Speaker 7 (28:58):
I've been with you for years.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Listens, if I were on TV, it wouldn't help. But
it's this is radio.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Sounds like a nice guy.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Doesn't he. They say, oh no, let me tell you
about your bad breath. And if you have bad breath,
and by the way, most of us do at some point,
that can be cleared up pretty quickly with Zelman's minty Mouthmens.
Zelman's minty mouth. Zelman's minty Mouthmen's goes way beyond that.
I don't know why they just only describe it as
(29:31):
the mint. You get a four way hit with Zelmans.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
One.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
The breath in your mouth gets cleared up because there's
mint on the outside of these little capsules. And when
the mint is done, you either swallow or bite into
the capsules and Parsley seed oil. They start going to
work in your gut where people don't realize a lot
of the problem starts with the foods that you eat,
and then if you have dry mouth, this thing works great.
(29:56):
And most importantly, probably for most people, you just feel good.
You feel like fresh and clean, and I mean not
in a douche way, but in a you know, above
the waist where you just feel good about walking around,
like what your teeth feel like after you brush your teeth.
