Making Obscene Gestures

[cbg]

And your being charged for making an obscene gesture (whether you did or did not do so) proves your employer is involved because....

No, no, never mind. I don't really want to know. I'll just increase my holdings in Reynolds Aluminum.

[Mr. Knowitall]

I was arrested by the PD of another town and was told that the warrant is for sexual harassment gesturing to a female pedestrian or to the driver of another car (not sure which) asking her to get into my car. Apparently, this has been going on for 4 months, on a daily basis, till she finally decided to file a complaint.

So we're not talking about an obscene gesture. We're talking about, perhaps, a stalking charge?

For the past 8 months the clutch in my manual transmission car has been broken and though I have gotten quotes from a few shops ($700!) I have not been able to get it repaired.

This is part of the conspiracy by your employer?

The problem is, whenever I try to accelerate, at a certain point in any gear the clutch slips and the engine revs without delivering good power and the driver behind would get irritated and I have been managing to carry on slowly after raising my right hand to say "sorry". Most drivers seem OK with this but some do get upset, honk, or swing out to the left lane and speed away and a couple of them have given me the finger. I fully understand their dismay, I have been in their shoes before.

On a few occasions, some pedestrians have mistaken my 'gesture' as directed towards them and have 'waved back' courteously.

This is part of the conspiracy by your employer?

Yes, I can blow the whistle but it has to be in a court of law.

Nonsense.

It relates to theft of intellectual properties belonging to me and after getting rid of me from my job they tried to misappropriate my work by generating what they referred to as "critical data" which turns out to be provable fraud.

If they claim ownership and you're not willing to lift a finger to dispute their claims, they have nothing to worry about.

They need to me take up a small job to "save your house" which would keep me contained but I have not complied.

In English, please?

I have remained jobless.

Here's a wild idea: Look for a new job!

They need me out of this situation but not in a position to challenge them.

You are out of the situation. You are not willing to challenge them and even if you were, there's no reason to believe based on what you've posted that your claims have any merit.

Hence this setup, I believe.

If you think any of that is evidence of a setup, I suggest consulting with a psychiatrist.

That's right. I am being charged with making an obscene gesture; and I have video evidence from inside my car. I would certainly ask them why the prosecuter would interpret things this way, but only after all the lies have been spoken. Meanwhile, hope the Aluminum thing goes good for you.

I can understand how having a video recording would show whether you did or did not make such a gesture. I fail to understand how such a recording will prove your former employer's involvement.

Yes, I will prove that I did not make such a gesture, that is not a problem.

This will not prove that my former employers are involved.

But I can wait till all the lies have been spoken before proving my innocence and then making an accusation of fraud, under oath, regarding the involvement of my former employers which is an agency of the state; this is what I am hoping for, not a dismissal of the case.

Well if this sounds real bad to you, you still got your aluminum to fall back on.

The Reynolds thing went right over your head, didn't it?

I've got news for you - Perry Mason is a fictional character and most of what you see him do would not be allowed in an actual court of law.

[eerelations]

OP you still haven't advised us about the evidence you have that your former employer is orchestrating all this. This is important information!

[ar5]

I can say that I have evidence that my former employers committed fraud; I do not want to advise you on the nature of the evidence in this public forum. Suffice is to say that I have multiple evidence and evidence of sloppy cover-up. Besides, it is irrefutable, nothing Perry Masonish. They know that I have it and they know that I have figured it out and have the evidence for it. The only way for them to save themselves is to defame me and to portray that I am such a bad person; hence the false allegations by random people which is provably malicious.

CBG, you have alleged earlier in the thread that I am not willing act against my employers; what, in your opinion, could be my best course of action? You don't think that legal action is the best one? Aggression aside, lets hear a sensible opinion if you are indeed capable of it! About the 'Reynolds thing'; my retort went straight over your head, didn't it? Here is a hint, 'colloid'.

[Jared_A]

I think what they are saying is that you can't pace the courtroom floor leading a dialogue that ends with you pointing the finger at your former employer. You have to settle this gesture charge by itself, and then initiate legal proceedings against your former employer, at which point you would provide what evidence you have, including whatever you may have to prove the connection with this other charge.

Also what you are describing to me sounds like you were some sort of developer for your former employer, and want to keep all your work. Usually when you start a job at a place that does any kind of design, development, research or anything else similar, you sign something stating that everything you produce while working for them, belongs to them. For instance I know a genetic biology professor who quit his tenured job at a university to start his own genetic research firm because he was doing research worth millions of dollars with the university contractually holding all rights to his research. It wasn't his intellectual property, it was theirs. Software developers who work directly for a company usually have to sign similar contracts, which is why many of the best programmers work as contractors, or get into app development where they can distribute their own product and potentially make millions instead of a set wage per year, with all the profits from their genius going to their employer.

[Mr. Knowitall]

Your beliefs about your employer, whether or not they have any basis in reality, are irrelevant to the charge against you. You have offered no evidence, nor any plausible theory, connecting the two.

If in fact you have been charged with a crime, how about very belatedly fulfilling the request that you identify the exact charge - the statute number, please.

I've got news for you - Perry Mason is a fictional character and most of what you see him do would not be allowed in an actual court of law.

In addition, that in addition to being entirely fictional and never respective of the legal process (I can't tell you how few times I saw a preliminary hearing in a Perry Mason episode, nor ever seen a court action where the typical Perry Mason approach of making the actual criminal confess in open court works), even the most recent adaptation is over 35 years old. The classic Raymond Burr one (the one where he jumped up and yelled "I object" periodically) went off the air in 1966. Burr went on to play a cop in Ironsides (where he didn't jump up anymore). Erle Stanley Garner who wrote these stories died in 1970 (he was however a lawyer).

[Disagreeable]

A bad clutch would not last 8 months in a transmission. It might in a human brain.
