Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
KFI AM six forty Bill Handle here on a Saturday morning.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
It is the top of the hour for the Legal show.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm here till eleven o'clock and Rich Dumurrow follows me
with the Tech Show, and at two o'clock it's at
nil Savedra with the Fok Report. The phone number is
here since it is the top of the hour. Eight
hundred five two zero one five three four. Eight hundred
five two zero one five three four at number to call,
(00:36):
and you will get in and I will probably abuse
you and yell at you and try to humiliate you
or although you know it goes both ways. You know,
I try to humiliate you, and sometimes I do, and
then sometimes I do it again, and the third time
out I do it again. I mean, yeah, that's how
(00:56):
the show works. Eight hundred five two zero one five
three four. This is Handle on the Law, Marginal Legal Advice.
This is in Washington with that great, big, beautiful ballroom
that President Trump is having built. The East Wing of
(01:18):
the White House does not exist anymore. It has been demolished,
and in its place, the President is putting this very
large ballroom whose footprint is actually bigger than the rest
of the White House. I mean, it's really weird. And
he had just did this arbitrarily. I mean, he woke
up one day and this is what I'm going to do.
Any orders, and it's done. Well, there are preservation Society
(01:42):
and the law that says before any change, major change
to the structure of the White House or at least
the outside of the White House has to go through
a committee and Congress has to okay it. Well, he
sort of sidestep that one. I mean, that's what President
Trump does. He doesn't like to, you know, it doesn't
(02:04):
like Congress or the law to get in the way
of his orders or his feelings. So there is a
lawsuit that has been filed to stop it, although I
don't even know how you stop it at this point
because it's already there. However, here is the defense, and
(02:25):
this is it was explained to us by Matthew Quinn,
the deputy Director of the Secret Service. He wrote in
a court filing, and he said that building that ballroom
is a matter of national security. Huh, how is that
a matter of national security? Aha? Here's the reason, because
(02:50):
where there used to be underground, a some kind of
a facility that how is the president or staff or
whoever is deemed necessary to keep the government in place
and running in case there was some kind of a
disaster read a nuclear attack, then they have to build
(03:15):
it or rebuild it. And therefore it is national security.
And the problem is is that seems to be a
defense to anything that is filed. All you have to
do is say national security or the administration's national security,
and the court buys it, and the court, the Supreme
Court basically gives it to the president. So why is
(03:38):
President Trump, why does he have such enormous power?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well, first of all, he goes for it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But a lot of presidents have tried to extend their
powers and have come up against Congress, have come up
against the law. The problem here is there is no
independent Congress. It's supposed to be a separate branch of
the government. That doesn't exist Congress is there. Mike Johnson,
who is the Speaker of the House, said it very clearly.
(04:07):
Our job as a Congress is to further the president's agenda,
not to represent our people.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Just if the whatever the president wants we give them,
then you have a Supreme Court that extends the president's power,
I mean across the board. For example, all the president
has to do is declare a national emergency. It's a
national emergency. I mean, there really is no rhyme nor reason.
(04:38):
It's Oh and the other thing, the court said that
the president is immune from any criminal act he does
as president. And even in front of the court. A
question was asked by Alanna Kagan who went the Supreme
Court justices, uh and asked the.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Member of the.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Of the Administration, the solicitor General, and asked straight out,
so he's immune from prosecution. Yes, so if he were
to order the assassination of a political rifle.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
He is immune from being charged.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Okay, So we have a court and it's it's just.
And by the way, the court went that way. Go
figure that one out. Okay, Uh, so much for that, uh, Tim, Hello, Tim, welcome, Hello.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Sir, Yes, sir, Yeah, child support question, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
My father.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Retired from a company, took a reduction pay, and so
when he passed away, I received a certain dollar.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Amount of his pay.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Holy wait wait wait child.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Support, yest's it's a child support question if the child's
entitled to any of my sta money that my dad
set aside for me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
No, no, no, no, unless the child is under the
age of eighteen. I mean, you're stuck with child support no,
no matter what. And it doesn't really matter, you know
where you get it. Now. The argument can be that
the kid needs more money and you've got it and
go in. But no, your dad leaves money to you.
You're paying child support. It stays until your kid is
(06:30):
eighteen years old.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
How old is your child?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Ten?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Right?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
You got you got eight years?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
You know? Congratulations and God forbid child support. The law
likes kids being supported. I know that's kind of bizarre,
but I get questions all the time. I don't want
to pay child support.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, because it costs me a lot of money. Yeah,
then why have a kid? And that's exactly what the
law says. Why have a kid? If you're going to
have children, you are going to pay support. And now
how much support do you pay? That gets That gets
a little complicated. Depend on the needs of the child
and also depends on the income that you have, and
(07:11):
so there's an entire categories of that. Eric, Hi, Eric,
welcome to handle on the law.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Hey, Bill, so an older couple went to the casino
last night.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Sounds like a judge.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
An older couple went to the casino last night. Okay,
I'm sorry, I'm just playing with you a little bit. Okay,
older a couple goes to the casino and what happens.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Well, they they go to get booked and they pull
up to the front of the casino. They ended up
the older guy ended up falling and he pretty much
fractured his hip. Okay, at the time, they said, they
said they were fine, and they signed a waiver. At
the end of the night, they ended up taking him
(07:57):
to the local hospital which is in Wisconsin, and then
that hospital ended up sending him back to Minnesota where
they live. Mm hmm. He's in the hospital now. Is
there any any ways she can take back that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah? Yeah, and there are a few ways to do it.
First of all, let's get to the basis of the injury. Okay,
what did the casino do wrong such that he took
a spill? Was there oil in the in the driveway
where they pulled up. Was there some kind of an obstruction?
(08:36):
Was he hit by one of the bell hops causing
the fall?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Is there any of that?
Speaker 6 (08:44):
No, no, he's just something that well, the only thing
that was is up here, and up here in the
north there it's freezing weather and we had some we
had some light drizzle and snow.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
That all right.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You can argue that they should have Okay, you can
argue that they should have cleaned it up. And there's
enough there, I mean, there's enough of an argument there
saying they didn't scrape it. They let people come out
of the cars at the entrance. It was freezing, it
was slippery, and they didn't do anything about it. Okay,
fair enough, that's the argument, all right, And there's probably
enough there to at least make an argument. So the
(09:20):
other side is that he signed a waiver, and he
signed the waiver. How the time line between the fall
and the waiver?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
How long?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
How long was that.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
They were they they got there and they had signed
the waiver by nine o'clock our time yesterday?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So what time when did they arrive?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
They arrived at around three, Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
So they it was five hours later that they were
asked to sign a waiver, right, Okay, how old When you.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Say, I'm sorry, I'm a little off on a time,
it was it was about an hour or so.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That okay, all right, that okay, that helps.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
And yeah with them booking booking into the.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay, no, I get it, I get it. And later
on and they asked him to sign a waiver how old?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
How old is he?
Speaker 6 (10:16):
How old is he?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
He's eighty, that's enough, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So the argument is he was eighty really didn't understand
what he was signing. Yeah, I think you can yank
back that waiver. I think you. I think you can.
It's time for time for a personal injury lawyer. And
of course you get one where the accident took place,
where he fell, it's in that county. But he can
I think he can take it back under those circumstances.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Basically because of age, older people get a break.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And the argument is they didn't know what they were signing,
they were liable to coercion, there's duress, they were induced
into doing it because they're one hundred and fifty years old.
That does fly. And then the other argument I was
going to say, is he a klutz that he just
fall down? Well, no, there was a slippery area because
the rain came down and they didn't do anything about
(11:05):
the slippery part. This is handle on the law K
five AM six forty bill handle here on a Saturday
morning phone number. Here, we do have lines open eight
hundred five to zero one five three four. That's eight
hundred five two zero one five three four. You can
(11:27):
call in and you'll be able to jump right in.
Welcome back handle on the law marginal legal advice where
I tell you you have no case. Randy, Hello, Randy, welcome.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Welcome there a long time I haven't heard.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Randy, you're on some kind of speaker,
bluetooth or something.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You got to get off of it.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Okay, let me get off.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, that would help me. It's a little rough. Yeah,
let's try it again.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yeah right, can you hear that better?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah? Better better? Okay, what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (12:05):
The Clean Truck program put me in about seven hundred
companies out of business and misplaced in like sixty one thousand.
Had a conversation with you twenty ten in reference to
if that changes. Well, now it's being brought up that
we can now almost delete this crazy equipment that they
had everybody buy and burn up all over America. Do
(12:26):
we have a case those of us that lost our business?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Uh, this coast from two thousand and ten, Is that right?
Speaker 7 (12:34):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Okay, So in two thousand, well, what exactly did they
ask you to buy?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Explain that one to me, because I just don't know.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Clean truck program said that the engines that we had,
that we had diesel engine mechanical engines putting out too
much cobon monoxide.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Got it and was some kind of used Okay, it
was some kind of cleaning scrubbing device that was attached
to the engine.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay? And this okay, so it.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Goes away, that program goes away with this year.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Well, it looks like Congress says that it was that
it was illegally imposed on us to do that, and
it costs a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, no, I understand that's going to be a problem
because even when you go back that far back, it's
you know, you have to argue I lost my business
because of that, and how do you prove that. It
gets difficult and unless Congress says this is retroactive, which
(13:38):
Congress can say this is retroactive, but then how do
you pass the law like that retroactively? If someone lost
their business fifteen years ago because of the scrubbing device
you know when was that law implemented? You say ninth
you said twenty ten, it was implemented.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Yeah, was implemented January first, twenty ten.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
We okay, has it been has it been reversed yet?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Hasn't been reversed by Congress yet?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Most of the most of that equipment that we were
running in has been phased out, but most of the
engines are setting in the stats on the sideline, hundreds
of thousands of mechanical agents.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Okay, has but let me ask me, has has that
policy been has reversed?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Is that no longer policy or law?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Uh in the City of LA is still law?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Well, okay, wait, you're saying Congress. I mean that's a
federal issue.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
The City of LA cannot override Congress. So if Congress
says that you can use it, Uh, then it's gonna
be tough for the City of l a particularly interstate commerce.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Bottom line is, I think you can have a very
very tough time because you can you unless they go retroactive.
But if they go retroactive, you know, how do you
prove I lost my business. Here's the business I lost.
I lost my business fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Well, how do you.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Isn't that a little speculative? We're you gonna lose it anyway?
How many customers did you have fifteen years ago? And
did you lose your customer because you had to buy
that piece of equipment and where?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
And people just stopped shipping with trucks. I guess right.
No trucking took place after.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That, exactly. That's my point. It didn't happen. So it's
you know, that's a real tough one. I'm I'm gonna
say no on that one. Yeah, I really am. Now,
sometimes people take my advice and sometimes it's good.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Rarely, but it's good.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
And it's good when I tell you, yeah, you need
a lawyer, because not only is it above my pay grade,
you need a lawyer that actually has expertise in that law.
And I used to because I practiced law for a
lot of years, but it was about embryos, frozen embryos.
I did surrogacy law, so you only could listen to
me on that field.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
But let's say you're injured.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Okay, you've been in a car or oh, you've been
in a car accident or a slip and fall, and
you're hurt, and so you have to go after either
of the manufacture of the car. By the way, that's
the way it works when you have a lemon on
your hands. Now, let me go to handle on the
law dot com. Let me go if you've been hurt
or injured in a car accident and you don't know
(16:24):
what lawyer to go to, because so many lawyers out
there advertised and some are really good, some or not.
So it turns out that if you it's not your
fault you've been hurt, let me suggest going to handle
on the law dot com. These are experts in dealing
with your injury and going after who's ever responsible.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
It's Handle on the.
Speaker 2 (16:44):

Handle on the law, marginal legal advice, Lee hell only.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Take good morning Bill, Yes, Christmas?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, I know Ramadan all that stuff. Yes, what can
I do for you?
Speaker 7 (18:12):
About three and a half years ago, I was so bored.
I was out of work for years, and I took
this job as a dishwasher at a place out here
in San Dimas. And it turns out part of my duties,
according to the cook, was I was going to be
the guy to grate the cheese for the next day.
And this thing, and I call it a thing because
(18:33):
it was this old rusty manifold thing which kept the
skip from the spinning blades of death away from me
with a little bolt on it, which was kind of
weird or whatever. Anyway, one day the thing comes apart
and the spinning blades come at me and it drew
some blood. Okay, So anyway, they had warmed me, the
(18:57):
cook had warmed me and say be careful with that thing.
And I quit, like maybe two weeks afterwards. And I
was just you know, bending over those thinks that were
too low. I was getting back pans. Anyway, about three
weeks ago, I called up one of the guys that
advertised on your other station, the you know, the Republican station.
(19:17):
He buys an hour of time in the morning, and
they were seated on Sunday night. You know I'm talking
about I'm not going to use his name, but he
talks about workmen's comp all the time, right, And I
thought about the one thing that I've taken away from
your show. You always tell me about the statute of limitations. Right,
it was three and a half years ago. They never
brought that up, something like that, a workman's comp thing.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah, it would be a workers com case. But I'm
going to give you it's going to be a multiple
choice test. I'm going to give you right now, Okay,
I'm going to give you four different statutes, and there
is a statute of limitation. I'm going to let you
choose which one you think is applicable. A one year,
(20:02):
B one year, CE, one year.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
See where this is going?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, D one year? Which one would you like to choose?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Uh, I'm going with Bill.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah, it was good. Good.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Then you have successfully passed the test. So there is
a statue right there. Now it would be a straight
worker's comp case. When you say it drew blood? Is
that a fairly was that a fairly serious incident? I'm
just curious.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
A scar on my arm? Yeah, that doesn't know, I
mean the medicine cabinet and Drew drew the gaws out
and everything else.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, but that's it. Did you go to the doctor?
Did you get your arm amputated? Was there infection where
they had to shake out take out chunks of your arm?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Uh no? The answer is uh no on every part.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
By the way, if anybody misunderstood on that worker's comp question,
how far workers comp actually extends too in terms of
statute of limitations.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Let me look this up. I just had it here
a second ago. Oh yeah, one year?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
All right, Carrie, Hi, Carrie, welcome, Hi Bill, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
Hi, Yeah, I'm calling. I'm a sixty four year old
woman that was walking my dog. I live in Orange County,
and I tripped and fell and I fractured my dog
three places, a lot of traumatic I have PTSD. I
won't walk my dog.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I'll bet you fracture your jaw. Yeah that's not pleasant.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
Oh it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
I lived in an area there's a lot of beautiful trees,
and the trees buckled the sidewalks. My neighborhood called me
because I was around the block. And I knew this
guy because I walk my dog all the time. And
he has said where I tripped and fell. He saw
the neighbor's camera and it was all on camera, and
where I tripped and fell. He said he called the
city years ago. Two years ago someone else had tripped
and fell there and Noah ever fixed it. Well, since then,
(21:59):
the city has fixed. This has happened about three or
four months ago.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Right, do I have.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
A case in Okay?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
First of all, let's talk about the city fixing A
had to repair the sidewalk. General rule of law is
that any repair that is made after the fact cannot
be used because then no one would repair anything, right,
(22:25):
So they can't use the repair. In terms of arguing,
there was liability, that's one.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Is it city property? That is the issue.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
And the sidewalk, the sidewalks would fix after I fell.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Okay, But if they were fixed, we'll hang on a minute.
If they were fixed, they were still buckled.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
They were buckled before I sell.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Now I understand. So what did you fall on.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
The sidewalk?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I know, but you said that they were already they
were already.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Fixed, not till after I fell. They fixed it once
I fell.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Okay, So they didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Fix it before you fell, as you said, they fix
it after you fell.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
All right.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I just finished telling you that after the fact, any
repair that's done cannot be used.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Now this is city property, Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
Yes, okay?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
So you're going to argue that the sidewalk was buckled
and you fell on it. Is this a place where
you actually walk your dog on a regular basis? Yes, okay,
so you knew this. Here's the defense. By the way,
the city's gonna say, no, they always I.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Don't always use the same path. I did not know, okay,
but you knew it.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It's in your neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And the argument is going to be is that there's
something called assumption of the risk, and that is you know,
you knew it was buckled.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
You saw it was buckled.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You live in that neighborhood, and all of a sudden,
you trip and the city is going to go, oh,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
They're not going to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The other issue, First of all, you have to put
in the claim within six months.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
When did this happen to you?
Speaker 9 (24:09):
I have talked to an attorney, but we're an investigation.
They had to go to jab Well, hey.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Okay, I's that's what happens if there if the damages
are big enough, if the injury is big enough, an attorney.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Will take it.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Because if you can hang your hat on anything, I mean,
breaking your jaw in three places is no joke.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
That's a serious injury. So they go backwards.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Okay, we take the injury and now let's see if
we can do something with it. I don't know, but
they put in the claim within six months, I'm assuming, which.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Gives the right to go to the city. The city's
going to say no.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
They always say no, And then there's going to be
probably a suit that's going to be filed, and you're
going against the city attorney, and the city is pretty
good about defending. I mean, they don't roll over very quickly.
So since you have an attorney on this, what is
(25:03):
your question, Kerry?
Speaker 9 (25:05):
My question mean is what are my chances?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
And M I have no idea. I have absolutely I
have absolutely no idea. What city are we talking about? Okay,
I don't know what the city of Fullerton. How aggressive
they are in terms of defending, and I think that has.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
A lot to do with it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
But the more serious, uh, your injury is the stronger
at least the lawyer is going to look at it.
So you're you know, A quick answer is I don't
have the case in front of me. I don't know
if for the facts and the fact that you have
a lawyer who is investigating it is typically okay, you've
(25:50):
been damaged enough that we're going to really take a
look at this phone number eight hundred and five two
zero one five three four. We do have line that
are open eight hundred five two zero one five three four,
and you'll get right in.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
This is handle on the.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Law say a fie handle here Saturday morning and we
here we you me here for right up until eleven
o'clock and then we have a rich to moureaw with
the Tech Show. Later on at two o'clock, Neil Savedra
with the footie show called The Fork Report.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Welcome back. Well, let me give you some phone numbers.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
First eight hundred five two zero one five three four
eight hundred five two zero one five three four Jenna,
I almost forgot. Can you imagine I've been doing this
for so long? Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Okay, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It's handle on the law, marginal legal advice. Daniel, Hello, Daniel.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Yes, Ella William Yes, sir. My question, My question is
I had a DUI forty years ago in Illinois. I
never showed up.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
I live in California. Will they come after me?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yes, if they have your address, they will come after you.
And yes they will throw you in prison. Now, Daniel,
will you press Ah, Well, they're gonna look, They're gonna
search for you, because DUI from forty years ago is
a real serious thing.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Now, a couple of a couple of rules that I
want to share with you. Depending on the state, some
states it goes five years, ten years that it stays
on your record.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Some it never goes away. But and I think it's Illinois.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
If I'm trying to remember, I thinks Illinois, it never
goes away except that was passed a few years ago.
So your grandfathered. In a matter of fact, you sound
like a grandfather. As a matter of fact, you sound
like a great grandfather. Hold are you, Daniel, I'm god,
you sound so old for sixty six. My god, I'm
(28:02):
older than sixty six, and I don't sound like I'm
going to be dead in the next half hour from
old age. All right, So I think you're okay, Daniel,
because he even if Illinois did pass the law, which
I think it did now, making it forever, it's on
your record. No one's going to go back forty years.
I mean, just no one. You're fine. I can't even imagine.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
The other point is I do have a ballot California license.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, it doesn't matter. Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I mean, if you've got a ticket in another state,
they don't care. If you have a driver's license or
not in a state where you live, if it's not there.
And so if there is a warrant out and by
the way, there was a warrant, I mean, forty years ago,
you got a ticket, you didn't show up, there was
a bench warrant that was issued in your name. You know, hey,
let's go after Daniel. But they don't go after anybody.
(28:51):
The only time you're picked up is when you get
another traffic citation, you know, the first time out. I
don't know if you've ever been stopped by a cop
subsequent to that, but they always grab your driver's license.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Will be back in a minute, and they go back.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
And what they're doing is they're going on the computer
in the police car and they're just typing in your
information and a warrant will kick up, or it won't
kick up. If there's Laurent out there. You are in handcuffs.
There's no question about it, because failure to appear, Yeah,
failure to appears a misdemeanor, and they'll arrest you for that.
(29:29):
But going back, you know, forty years, Daniel, they're not
going to do anything, and they certainly are not going
to chase after you. The only thing you have to
worry about is getting stopped in Illinois for a traffic
violation and they run it and I can't imagine it.
I can't imagine that it would show up, not after
(29:51):
forty years.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
And by the way, I.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Have I have those desire to go back to Illinois.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Then you know, don't don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I would think they're going to go across state lines
and they're going to track you down, Daniel, and you're
not that important to them. They do that with serial killers,
is where they go across state lines and find someone.
You're absolutely fine. I wouldn't worry about it. All right,
there you go, mister paranoia, right go figure. All right,
before we go, I want to talk about your bad breath.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
If you have bad breath, and by the way, we
all do, every one of us, because you wake up
in the morning and of course you have morning breath.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
And I don't know if you drink coffee, which I do.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Here's my coffee cup which I have coffee every morning,
can't live without it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I have coffee breath.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
And then I eat garlic and onions and spicy foods,
and of course as you chew it up, it happens
in your mouth. Well, when you swallow that food, it
goes down in your gut and is still garlic and
onions and its churning and burning, and bad breath comes
from there too. And here's where zelmons comes in. Zelmons
are these little capsules that have parsley seed in them
(30:57):
that covered with a nice strong minty coding. By the way, Spearman,
is there a new flavor. They just introduced it. And
after you suck the minpart off, then you swallow or
bite into them and the partially seed goes to work
in your guy. The parsley seed oil and man, no
mint in the world takes care of both your stomach
and your mouth. Zelmans does. That's Zelmans. It is really
(31:20):
worth it because it really works. Zelmans zl M I
n s Zelmans dot com. Go to Zelmans dot com
and you'll only find Zelman's on the website Zelmans dot com.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
This is Handle on the Law. You've been listening to
the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Catch my show Monday through Friday six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
KFI AM six forty Bill Handle here on a Saturday morning.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
It is the top of the hour for the Legal show.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'm here till eleven o'clock and Rich Dumurrow follows me
with the Tech Show, and at two o'clock it's at
nil Savedra with the Fok Report. The phone number is
here since it is the top of the hour. Eight
hundred five two zero one five three four. Eight hundred
five two zero one five three four at number to call,
(00:36):
and you will get in and I will probably abuse
you and yell at you and try to humiliate you
or although you know it goes both ways. You know,
I try to humiliate you, and sometimes I do, and
then sometimes I do it again, and the third time
out I do it again. I mean, yeah, that's how
(00:56):
the show works. Eight hundred five two zero one five
three four. This is Handle on the Law, Marginal Legal Advice.
This is in Washington with that great, big, beautiful ballroom
that President Trump is having built. The East Wing of
(01:18):
the White House does not exist anymore. It has been demolished,
and in its place, the President is putting this very
large ballroom whose footprint is actually bigger than the rest
of the White House. I mean, it's really weird. And
he had just did this arbitrarily. I mean, he woke
up one day and this is what I'm going to do.
Any orders, and it's done. Well, there are preservation Society
(01:42):
and the law that says before any change, major change
to the structure of the White House or at least
the outside of the White House has to go through
a committee and Congress has to okay it. Well, he
sort of sidestep that one. I mean, that's what President
Trump does. He doesn't like to, you know, it doesn't
(02:04):
like Congress or the law to get in the way
of his orders or his feelings. So there is a
lawsuit that has been filed to stop it, although I
don't even know how you stop it at this point
because it's already there. However, here is the defense, and
(02:25):
this is it was explained to us by Matthew Quinn,
the deputy Director of the Secret Service. He wrote in
a court filing, and he said that building that ballroom
is a matter of national security. Huh, how is that
a matter of national security? Aha? Here's the reason, because
(02:50):
where there used to be underground, a some kind of
a facility that how is the president or staff or
whoever is deemed necessary to keep the government in place
and running in case there was some kind of a
disaster read a nuclear attack, then they have to build
(03:15):
it or rebuild it. And therefore it is national security.
And the problem is is that seems to be a
defense to anything that is filed. All you have to
do is say national security or the administration's national security,
and the court buys it, and the court, the Supreme
Court basically gives it to the president. So why is
(03:38):
President Trump, why does he have such enormous power?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well, first of all, he goes for it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But a lot of presidents have tried to extend their
powers and have come up against Congress, have come up
against the law. The problem here is there is no
independent Congress. It's supposed to be a separate branch of
the government. That doesn't exist Congress is there. Mike Johnson,
who is the Speaker of the House, said it very clearly.
(04:07):
Our job as a Congress is to further the president's agenda,
not to represent our people.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Just if the whatever the president wants we give them,
then you have a Supreme Court that extends the president's power,
I mean across the board. For example, all the president
has to do is declare a national emergency. It's a
national emergency. I mean, there really is no rhyme nor reason.
(04:38):
It's Oh and the other thing, the court said that
the president is immune from any criminal act he does
as president. And even in front of the court. A
question was asked by Alanna Kagan who went the Supreme
Court justices, uh and asked the.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Member of the.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Of the Administration, the solicitor General, and asked straight out,
so he's immune from prosecution. Yes, so if he were
to order the assassination of a political rifle.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
He is immune from being charged.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Okay, So we have a court and it's it's just.
And by the way, the court went that way. Go
figure that one out. Okay, Uh, so much for that, uh, Tim, Hello, Tim, welcome, Hello.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Sir, Yes, sir, Yeah, child support question, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
My father.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Retired from a company, took a reduction pay, and so
when he passed away, I received a certain dollar.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Amount of his pay.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Holy wait wait wait child.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Support, yest's it's a child support question if the child's
entitled to any of my sta money that my dad
set aside for me.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
No, no, no, no, unless the child is under the
age of eighteen. I mean, you're stuck with child support no,
no matter what. And it doesn't really matter, you know
where you get it. Now. The argument can be that
the kid needs more money and you've got it and
go in. But no, your dad leaves money to you.
You're paying child support. It stays until your kid is
(06:30):
eighteen years old.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
How old is your child?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Ten?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Right?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
You got you got eight years?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
You know? Congratulations and God forbid child support. The law
likes kids being supported. I know that's kind of bizarre,
but I get questions all the time. I don't want
to pay child support.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, because it costs me a lot of money. Yeah,
then why have a kid? And that's exactly what the
law says. Why have a kid? If you're going to
have children, you are going to pay support. And now
how much support do you pay? That gets That gets
a little complicated. Depend on the needs of the child
and also depends on the income that you have, and
(07:11):
so there's an entire categories of that. Eric, Hi, Eric,
welcome to handle on the law.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Hey, Bill, so an older couple went to the casino
last night.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Sounds like a judge.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
An older couple went to the casino last night. Okay,
I'm sorry, I'm just playing with you a little bit. Okay,
older a couple goes to the casino and what happens.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Well, they they go to get booked and they pull
up to the front of the casino. They ended up
the older guy ended up falling and he pretty much
fractured his hip. Okay, at the time, they said, they
said they were fine, and they signed a waiver. At
the end of the night, they ended up taking him
(07:57):
to the local hospital which is in Wisconsin, and then
that hospital ended up sending him back to Minnesota where
they live. Mm hmm. He's in the hospital now. Is
there any any ways she can take back that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah? Yeah, and there are a few ways to do it.
First of all, let's get to the basis of the injury. Okay,
what did the casino do wrong such that he took
a spill? Was there oil in the in the driveway
where they pulled up. Was there some kind of an obstruction?
(08:36):
Was he hit by one of the bell hops causing
the fall?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Is there any of that?
Speaker 6 (08:44):
No, no, he's just something that well, the only thing
that was is up here, and up here in the
north there it's freezing weather and we had some we
had some light drizzle and snow.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
That all right.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You can argue that they should have Okay, you can
argue that they should have cleaned it up. And there's
enough there, I mean, there's enough of an argument there
saying they didn't scrape it. They let people come out
of the cars at the entrance. It was freezing, it
was slippery, and they didn't do anything about it. Okay,
fair enough, that's the argument, all right, And there's probably
enough there to at least make an argument. So the
(09:20):
other side is that he signed a waiver, and he
signed the waiver. How the time line between the fall
and the waiver?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
How long?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
How long was that.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
They were they they got there and they had signed
the waiver by nine o'clock our time yesterday?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So what time when did they arrive?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
They arrived at around three, Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
So they it was five hours later that they were
asked to sign a waiver, right, Okay, how old When you.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Say, I'm sorry, I'm a little off on a time,
it was it was about an hour or so.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That okay, all right, that okay, that helps.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
And yeah with them booking booking into the.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay, no, I get it, I get it. And later
on and they asked him to sign a waiver how old?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
How old is he?
Speaker 6 (10:16):
How old is he?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
He's eighty, that's enough, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
So the argument is he was eighty really didn't understand
what he was signing. Yeah, I think you can yank
back that waiver. I think you. I think you can.
It's time for time for a personal injury lawyer. And
of course you get one where the accident took place,
where he fell, it's in that county. But he can
I think he can take it back under those circumstances.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Basically because of age, older people get a break.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And the argument is they didn't know what they were signing,
they were liable to coercion, there's duress, they were induced
into doing it because they're one hundred and fifty years old.
That does fly. And then the other argument I was
going to say, is he a klutz that he just
fall down? Well, no, there was a slippery area because
the rain came down and they didn't do anything about
(11:05):
the slippery part. This is handle on the law K
five AM six forty bill handle here on a Saturday
morning phone number. Here, we do have lines open eight
hundred five to zero one five three four. That's eight
hundred five two zero one five three four. You can
(11:27):
call in and you'll be able to jump right in.
Welcome back handle on the law marginal legal advice where
I tell you you have no case. Randy, Hello, Randy, welcome.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Welcome there a long time I haven't heard.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Randy, you're on some kind of speaker,
bluetooth or something.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
You got to get off of it.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Okay, let me get off.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, that would help me. It's a little rough. Yeah,
let's try it again.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Yeah right, can you hear that better?
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah? Better better? Okay, what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (12:05):
The Clean Truck program put me in about seven hundred
companies out of business and misplaced in like sixty one thousand.
Had a conversation with you twenty ten in reference to
if that changes. Well, now it's being brought up that
we can now almost delete this crazy equipment that they
had everybody buy and burn up all over America. Do
(12:26):
we have a case those of us that lost our business?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Uh, this coast from two thousand and ten, Is that right?
Speaker 7 (12:34):
Right?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Okay, So in two thousand, well, what exactly did they
ask you to buy?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Explain that one to me, because I just don't know.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Clean truck program said that the engines that we had,
that we had diesel engine mechanical engines putting out too
much cobon monoxide.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Got it and was some kind of used Okay, it
was some kind of cleaning scrubbing device that was attached
to the engine.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 7 (12:59):
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay? And this okay, so it.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Goes away, that program goes away with this year.
Speaker 8 (13:08):
Well, it looks like Congress says that it was that
it was illegally imposed on us to do that, and
it costs a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, no, I understand that's going to be a problem
because even when you go back that far back, it's
you know, you have to argue I lost my business
because of that, and how do you prove that. It
gets difficult and unless Congress says this is retroactive, which
(13:38):
Congress can say this is retroactive, but then how do
you pass the law like that retroactively? If someone lost
their business fifteen years ago because of the scrubbing device
you know when was that law implemented? You say ninth
you said twenty ten, it was implemented.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Yeah, was implemented January first, twenty ten.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
We okay, has it been has it been reversed yet?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Hasn't been reversed by Congress yet?
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Most of the most of that equipment that we were
running in has been phased out, but most of the
engines are setting in the stats on the sideline, hundreds
of thousands of mechanical agents.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Okay, has but let me ask me, has has that
policy been has reversed?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Is that no longer policy or law?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Uh in the City of LA is still law?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Well, okay, wait, you're saying Congress. I mean that's a
federal issue.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
The City of LA cannot override Congress. So if Congress
says that you can use it, Uh, then it's gonna
be tough for the City of l a particularly interstate commerce.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Bottom line is, I think you can have a very
very tough time because you can you unless they go retroactive.
But if they go retroactive, you know, how do you
prove I lost my business. Here's the business I lost.
I lost my business fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Well, how do you.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Isn't that a little speculative? We're you gonna lose it anyway?
How many customers did you have fifteen years ago? And
did you lose your customer because you had to buy
that piece of equipment and where?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
And people just stopped shipping with trucks. I guess right.
No trucking took place after.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That, exactly. That's my point. It didn't happen. So it's
you know, that's a real tough one. I'm I'm gonna
say no on that one. Yeah, I really am. Now,
sometimes people take my advice and sometimes it's good.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Rarely, but it's good.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
And it's good when I tell you, yeah, you need
a lawyer, because not only is it above my pay grade,
you need a lawyer that actually has expertise in that law.
And I used to because I practiced law for a
lot of years, but it was about embryos, frozen embryos.
I did surrogacy law, so you only could listen to
me on that field.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
But let's say you're injured.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Okay, you've been in a car or oh, you've been
in a car accident or a slip and fall, and
you're hurt, and so you have to go after either
of the manufacture of the car. By the way, that's
the way it works when you have a lemon on
your hands. Now, let me go to handle on the
law dot com. Let me go if you've been hurt
or injured in a car accident and you don't know
(16:24):
what lawyer to go to, because so many lawyers out
there advertised and some are really good, some or not.
So it turns out that if you it's not your
fault you've been hurt, let me suggest going to handle
on the law dot com. These are experts in dealing
with your injury and going after who's ever responsible.
Speaker 3 (16:43):

Yeah, I know Ramadan all that stuff. Yes, what can
I do for you?
Speaker 7 (18:12):
About three and a half years ago, I was so bored.
I was out of work for years, and I took
this job as a dishwasher at a place out here
in San Dimas. And it turns out part of my duties,
according to the cook, was I was going to be
the guy to grate the cheese for the next day.
And this thing, and I call it a thing because
(18:33):
it was this old rusty manifold thing which kept the
skip from the spinning blades of death away from me
with a little bolt on it, which was kind of
weird or whatever. Anyway, one day the thing comes apart
and the spinning blades come at me and it drew
some blood. Okay, So anyway, they had warmed me, the
(18:57):
cook had warmed me and say be careful with that thing.
And I quit, like maybe two weeks afterwards. And I
was just you know, bending over those thinks that were
too low. I was getting back pans. Anyway, about three
weeks ago, I called up one of the guys that
advertised on your other station, the you know, the Republican station.
(19:17):
He buys an hour of time in the morning, and
they were seated on Sunday night. You know I'm talking
about I'm not going to use his name, but he
talks about workmen's comp all the time, right, And I
thought about the one thing that I've taken away from
your show. You always tell me about the statute of limitations. Right,
it was three and a half years ago. They never
brought that up, something like that, a workman's comp thing.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah, it would be a workers com case. But I'm
going to give you it's going to be a multiple
choice test. I'm going to give you right now, Okay,
I'm going to give you four different statutes, and there
is a statute of limitation. I'm going to let you
choose which one you think is applicable. A one year,
(20:02):
B one year, CE, one year.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
See where this is going?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, D one year? Which one would you like to choose?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Uh, I'm going with Bill.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah, it was good. Good.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Then you have successfully passed the test. So there is
a statue right there. Now it would be a straight
worker's comp case. When you say it drew blood? Is
that a fairly was that a fairly serious incident? I'm
just curious.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
A scar on my arm? Yeah, that doesn't know, I
mean the medicine cabinet and Drew drew the gaws out
and everything else.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, but that's it. Did you go to the doctor?
Did you get your arm amputated? Was there infection where
they had to shake out take out chunks of your arm?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Uh no? The answer is uh no on every part.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
By the way, if anybody misunderstood on that worker's comp question,
how far workers comp actually extends too in terms of
statute of limitations.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Let me look this up. I just had it here
a second ago. Oh yeah, one year?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
All right, Carrie, Hi, Carrie, welcome, Hi Bill, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
Hi, Yeah, I'm calling. I'm a sixty four year old
woman that was walking my dog. I live in Orange County,
and I tripped and fell and I fractured my dog
three places, a lot of traumatic I have PTSD. I
won't walk my dog.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I'll bet you fracture your jaw. Yeah that's not pleasant.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
Oh it's horrible.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:38):
I lived in an area there's a lot of beautiful trees,
and the trees buckled the sidewalks. My neighborhood called me
because I was around the block. And I knew this
guy because I walk my dog all the time. And
he has said where I tripped and fell. He saw
the neighbor's camera and it was all on camera, and
where I tripped and fell. He said he called the
city years ago. Two years ago someone else had tripped
and fell there and Noah ever fixed it. Well, since then,
(21:59):
the city has fixed. This has happened about three or
four months ago.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Right, do I have.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
A case in Okay?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
First of all, let's talk about the city fixing A
had to repair the sidewalk. General rule of law is
that any repair that is made after the fact cannot
be used because then no one would repair anything, right,
(22:25):
So they can't use the repair. In terms of arguing,
there was liability, that's one.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Is it city property? That is the issue.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
And the sidewalk, the sidewalks would fix after I fell.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Okay, But if they were fixed, we'll hang on a minute.
If they were fixed, they were still buckled.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
They were buckled before I sell.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Now I understand. So what did you fall on.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
The sidewalk?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I know, but you said that they were already they
were already.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Fixed, not till after I fell. They fixed it once
I fell.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Okay, So they didn't.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Fix it before you fell, as you said, they fix
it after you fell.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
All right.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I just finished telling you that after the fact, any
repair that's done cannot be used.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Now this is city property, Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (23:23):
Yes, okay?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
So you're going to argue that the sidewalk was buckled
and you fell on it. Is this a place where
you actually walk your dog on a regular basis? Yes, okay,
so you knew this. Here's the defense. By the way,
the city's gonna say, no, they always I.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
Don't always use the same path. I did not know, okay,
but you knew it.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
It's in your neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And the argument is going to be is that there's
something called assumption of the risk, and that is you know,
you knew it was buckled.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
You saw it was buckled.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You live in that neighborhood, and all of a sudden,
you trip and the city is going to go, oh,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
They're not going to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The other issue, First of all, you have to put
in the claim within six months.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
When did this happen to you?
Speaker 9 (24:09):
I have talked to an attorney, but we're an investigation.
They had to go to jab Well, hey.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Okay, I's that's what happens if there if the damages
are big enough, if the injury is big enough, an attorney.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Will take it.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Because if you can hang your hat on anything, I mean,
breaking your jaw in three places is no joke.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
That's a serious injury. So they go backwards.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Okay, we take the injury and now let's see if
we can do something with it. I don't know, but
they put in the claim within six months, I'm assuming, which.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Gives the right to go to the city. The city's
going to say no.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
They always say no, And then there's going to be
probably a suit that's going to be filed, and you're
going against the city attorney, and the city is pretty
good about defending. I mean, they don't roll over very quickly.
So since you have an attorney on this, what is
(25:03):
your question, Kerry?
Speaker 9 (25:05):
My question mean is what are my chances?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
And M I have no idea. I have absolutely I
have absolutely no idea. What city are we talking about? Okay,
I don't know what the city of Fullerton. How aggressive
they are in terms of defending, and I think that has.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
A lot to do with it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
But the more serious, uh, your injury is the stronger
at least the lawyer is going to look at it.
So you're you know, A quick answer is I don't
have the case in front of me. I don't know
if for the facts and the fact that you have
a lawyer who is investigating it is typically okay, you've
(25:50):
been damaged enough that we're going to really take a
look at this phone number eight hundred and five two
zero one five three four. We do have line that
are open eight hundred five two zero one five three four,
and you'll get right in.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
This is handle on the.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Law say a fie handle here Saturday morning and we
here we you me here for right up until eleven
o'clock and then we have a rich to moureaw with
the Tech Show. Later on at two o'clock, Neil Savedra
with the footie show called The Fork Report.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Welcome back. Well, let me give you some phone numbers.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
First eight hundred five two zero one five three four
eight hundred five two zero one five three four Jenna,
I almost forgot. Can you imagine I've been doing this
for so long? Oh?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Okay, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It's handle on the law, marginal legal advice. Daniel, Hello, Daniel.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Yes, Ella William Yes, sir. My question, My question is
I had a DUI forty years ago in Illinois. I
never showed up.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
I live in California. Will they come after me?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yes, if they have your address, they will come after you.
And yes they will throw you in prison. Now, Daniel,
will you press Ah, Well, they're gonna look, They're gonna
search for you, because DUI from forty years ago is
a real serious thing.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Now, a couple of a couple of rules that I
want to share with you. Depending on the state, some
states it goes five years, ten years that it stays
on your record.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Some it never goes away. But and I think it's Illinois.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
If I'm trying to remember, I thinks Illinois, it never
goes away except that was passed a few years ago.
So your grandfathered. In a matter of fact, you sound
like a grandfather. As a matter of fact, you sound
like a great grandfather. Hold are you, Daniel, I'm god,
you sound so old for sixty six. My god, I'm
(28:02):
older than sixty six, and I don't sound like I'm
going to be dead in the next half hour from
old age. All right, So I think you're okay, Daniel,
because he even if Illinois did pass the law, which
I think it did now, making it forever, it's on
your record. No one's going to go back forty years.
I mean, just no one. You're fine. I can't even imagine.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
The other point is I do have a ballot California license.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, it doesn't matter. Nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I mean, if you've got a ticket in another state,
they don't care. If you have a driver's license or
not in a state where you live, if it's not there.
And so if there is a warrant out and by
the way, there was a warrant, I mean, forty years ago,
you got a ticket, you didn't show up, there was
a bench warrant that was issued in your name. You know, hey,
let's go after Daniel. But they don't go after anybody.
(28:51):
The only time you're picked up is when you get
another traffic citation, you know, the first time out. I
don't know if you've ever been stopped by a cop
subsequent to that, but they always grab your driver's license.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Will be back in a minute, and they go back.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
And what they're doing is they're going on the computer
in the police car and they're just typing in your
information and a warrant will kick up, or it won't
kick up. If there's Laurent out there. You are in handcuffs.
There's no question about it, because failure to appear, Yeah,
failure to appears a misdemeanor, and they'll arrest you for that.
(29:29):
But going back, you know, forty years, Daniel, they're not
going to do anything, and they certainly are not going
to chase after you. The only thing you have to
worry about is getting stopped in Illinois for a traffic
violation and they run it and I can't imagine it.
I can't imagine that it would show up, not after
(29:51):
forty years.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
And by the way, I.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Have I have those desire to go back to Illinois.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Then you know, don't don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I would think they're going to go across state lines
and they're going to track you down, Daniel, and you're
not that important to them. They do that with serial killers,
is where they go across state lines and find someone.
You're absolutely fine. I wouldn't worry about it. All right,
there you go, mister paranoia, right go figure. All right,
before we go, I want to talk about your bad breath.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
If you have bad breath, and by the way, we
all do, every one of us, because you wake up
in the morning and of course you have morning breath.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
And I don't know if you drink coffee, which I do.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Here's my coffee cup which I have coffee every morning,
can't live without it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I have coffee breath.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
And then I eat garlic and onions and spicy foods,
and of course as you chew it up, it happens
in your mouth. Well, when you swallow that food, it
goes down in your gut and is still garlic and
onions and its churning and burning, and bad breath comes
from there too. And here's where zelmons comes in. Zelmons
are these little capsules that have parsley seed in them
(30:57):
that covered with a nice strong minty coding. By the way, Spearman,
is there a new flavor. They just introduced it. And
after you suck the minpart off, then you swallow or
bite into them and the partially seed goes to work
in your guy. The parsley seed oil and man, no
mint in the world takes care of both your stomach
and your mouth. Zelmans does. That's Zelmans. It is really
(31:20):
worth it because it really works. Zelmans zl M I
n s Zelmans dot com. Go to Zelmans dot com
and you'll only find Zelman's on the website Zelmans dot com.
