    It’s America. You should be able to buy a rifle / long gun at your nearest Wal-Mart same day. If you want a pistol, you might have to wait for you background check, but that usually only takes a few days. I also hear single-use short-range firearms can be 3d printed.






  • Steam has some good options. And, if you can play it on the Steamdeck, it will probably work on a Linux desktop.

    But, if you have specific gaming needs, please check those first. Some games just don’t work, and I wouldn’t want your to trade OSes (which all have their own frustrations) and then find yourself unable to game.

    Preferably find someone local that already uses Linux and is willing to help you out some. LUGs (Linux User Groups) used to be a thing; maybe there’s one near you. A lot of Linux users like gaming these days, though plenty of them still dual-boot.

    That’s called an “inventory search”, and this motion says what happened isn’t an “inventory search” because they didn’t follow procedure (and cites supporting precedence).

    If they would have just hauled him in for processing on the false identification, and then found the gun during an inventory search at the station, it would be better for the prosecution.

    The motion also claims that the search couldn’t be a… safety search? (I don’t know the right term)… like checking a person for weapons, because before the search was initiated, the suspect was already handcuffed and separated from the backpack so didn’t have access to anything in it that could be hazardous to the officers. Prosecution might argue is was a safety search because they were looking for a hazard that didn’t need to be triggered by the suspect, like a timed device or just an incidental hazard.

    IANAL, just an interested citizen.

    This is just a motion. Judge will decide it’s validity and the remedy. It might end up with the evidence excluded, but it might be that the prosecution just has to provide a different/stronger justification, or even be a nothing burger if the judge is unconvinced by the arguments in the motion.

    I agree with your analysis if the judge does exclude backpack and contents as evidence.

    Anything other than exclusion will be grounds for appeal, later, too.

    Thank you!

    Pages numbered 23 to 26 are the meat of the argument referenced in the image, for anyone else that wants to click through.

    “[[l]t can hardly be said that the officer in this case followed the policy [for an inventory search] by conducting a search that included only the glove compartment, and upon finding a gun, leaving it in place.”
