Seizure of Alcoholic Beverages at a Concert Venue

Not "forward thinking?" :rolleyes:

Nah, they just tend to live in the REAL world where things REALLY happen. We can hypothesize and make up "facts" all day long, but none of them have happened. So ...

Yes, Chicago trains have gotten stuck for extended periods of time.

Only $1? Maybe yes, maybe no.

Concerts in downtown Chicago let out pretty late, after all stores are closed. If I can not buy more water, and if I board a train home, and if the train gets delayed on the tracks for an extended amount of time (as has happened), then that means that I can get stuck without water for a long time. If I experience health issues due to being without water, that lawsuit will definitely be for much more than $1.

I know that cops are usually not the most forward-thinking people. So, they probably don't realize that the above scenario can occur. But I do.

But the problem with that is that a lawsuit will not necessarily compensate you for that. Generally speaking, you only get compensated for the harm that is reasonably foreseeable from the wrongful act. You can spin out all kinds of very unlikely things that might happen, but those more extreme circumstances don’t get you compensation. And let’s be clear, not having some water for a few hours is rarely going to cause most people any serious trouble. Humans can survive 2-3 days without water.

Further, I can almost guarantee there was water avaialble on the site in case you became suddenly dehydrated.

Again, as TM points out...you don't get any compensation for what "mighta, coulda" happened.

Guys do not feed the troll. This is all he is trying to do and all he ever does.
