I don't believe Americans lose the right to sue other people while they are
in gaol, but it might be a real deterrent if you introduced it :-) Dave Milne, Scotland '91 Grand Wagoneer, '99 TJ "Just Taylor" <taylor@wilhelp.com> wrote in message news:434dd498.480178437@wilhelp.com... > On Wed, 12 Oct 2005 19:44:28 -0700, Lon <lon.stowell@comcast.net> wrote: > Not to mention how the British also allowed Roman Polanski, who is > wanted by the US to sue an American company while hiding behind a > videophone in France.... :) |

Re: Stalking Asshole "Taylor Jimenez" NAILED as Joe Jared!!
We put people in "jail" or "prison" in the United States, and they retain
their civil rights. In fact, they have access to law libraries while they are incarcerated, which in many cases makes them even more a thorn in the side of society, than they would be if allowed to run free. One of their favorite tactics is to sue the Polizei and their jailers for real and imagined civil rights violations. They are even more annoying than ordinary litigants, because threat of contempt sanctions means nothing to them. "What are you going to do, put me in jail?" The problem with jailed litigants, is the same as with other types. Some of them have claims, that have merit. You can't just willy-nilly disallow the right to sue, because most people abuse it.

Re: Stalking Asshole "Taylor Jimenez" NAILED as Joe Jared!!
Not entirely sure how this would work, as I don't actually know of
any Gaols in the USofA, so one would probably have to move to some place like Toronto first.
