What did that dog ever do to youuuu

Mutate during the Weirding and didn’t have the “good sense” KTS. Also, Kate’s egg donor is a monster. I bet she was monstrous BEFORE Kate transformed, she was just better at hiding it.

Honestly, she has always seemed like an Internet-Karen Character with a history that pushed her viewpoint to an extreme to me. This would mean that, before the Weirding, she could be abrasive but often not bad enough that it caused anyone trouble. She likely got upset at Supermarkets & Restaurants in an embarrassing manner, but never directly harmed anyone.

Then the Weirding happened, and her daughter was turned. Suddenly she had an “Other” in her family and she couldn’t handle it. Especially since it didn’t occur in a normal manner, like her sibling marrying someone of a different ethnicity, that, at least, she might have been able to accept. Her husband leaving her over the actions she took (worded specifically because she aggressively rejects the thought that her actions could have been in the wrong), and her argument “Other people did it too, so I wasn’t wrong!” had her stew and cemented in the thought in her head that her daughter was killed and a monster pretending to be her took her place. Which led to an obsessive “us vs them” mentality that directly led to acts of extremism and terrorism.

Basically, before the Weirding, I don’t think that she was a monster. An obnoxious douche that nobody liked serving and may have been racist enough to scowl at people of different ethnic groups, sure, but that’s just wild guessing.

To the answer the question of “is it illegal to record you without telling you”, it depends on the state, some states have it so you have to consent to being recorded, others say it’s okay in public spaces, some have no restrictions

Of course, none of this applies to the police WHILE IN THE INTERROGATION ROOM

in fact iirc in most states its pretty much required that they observe and record you in the interrogation room, in order to ensure that the officers aren’t violating the law with illegal intimidation, abuse, etc., as well as to ensure that the detainee doesn’t inflict harm on themselves, etc. recordings make it easier to prove or disprove accusations of officer misconduct.
usually the complicated bits of the law are about when and how much of those recordings can be submitted as evidence in a trial. though usually confessions to crimes are submittable unless they were coerced. which is not the case here.

This will probably be negotiated in the pre-trial process. The defense attorney will attempt to motion that this recording cannot be brought into the court proceedings.

They likely won’t be successful. She was probably reminded, on record, that she was being monitored and recorded. She wasn’t coerced into saying that outloud. She has no expectation of privacy while being detained. Her stupidity and sense of entitlement aren’t shields.

It’s one of many reasons to STFU. Lips do not part. Especially without a lawyer, and the confidentiality that comes with being with your council.

I have sat on a grand jury and I have to tell you that this is the ever-loving truth.
Criminals are stupid – painfully stupid. If they were smart, they wouldn’t BE criminals, because in every case brought in front of us, they could have made more money and avoided jail completely with less work, if they’d NOT been a criminal.

If they can get legal work. Criminality is correlated with poverty and poverty, after all.

That’s a myth. Poverty has nothing to do with it at all. I grew up just as poor as every criminal we saw. Most were way better off than I’d been before I’d gone out and gotten a job.

That it is a myth is a myth, as evidenced that you go by an emotional anecdote. The statistics don’t lie, and are easy to find:
“The highest crime rates per capita in the world exist in developing countries; these countries also have very high rates of poverty. Is it a coincidence, or is there actually some substance to these facts? Crime is a complicated issue, and other variables like education, healthcare, and housing have to be taken into consideration.
The results indicate that there is a relationship between certain types of crime and poverty, and
that income inequality is significant to all types of crime.”

But don’t let our facts go between you and your emotions, so that you have to invent claims such as “criminals are stupid” to fit your personal view of the world! If enough people do that, we can see EU’s president von der Leyen say the day before yesterday: “”Europe is still a peace project. We don’t have bros or oligarchs making the rules. We don’t invade our neighbours, and we don’t punish them,” Ursula von der Leyen said in a wide-ranging interview with the Zeit newspaper.
“The West as we knew it no longer exists,” Ursula von der Leyen has declared amid rapidly deteriorating relations with the United States under Donald Trump’s administration, which has forced Europe to look elsewhere for allies and partners.”

Now EU politicians are ordered to buy burner phones for US visits due to the spying risk. And the remaining tourists are also advised to do so since there are (admittedly so far rumors) that US customs doesn’t like to find free speech sentiments on our phones – we can see on television that free speech is suppressed. If only US had something like, oh. “a constitution” that guaranteed free rights and that it was upholding.

Statistics DO lie, sir/ma’am. They state that the majority of criminals are poor, but they fail to take into account several things.

Poor criminals tend to be poor by their own hand and their own stupidity.

Poor criminals tend to have a harder time hiding their crime than rich criminals, or getting competent legal help, and rich criminals do very well exist.

Poverty does have higher chances of instigating crime out of desperation, true, but the factors that lead to poverty are rarely investigated as to whether they were self-inflicted or from outside forces.

The criminals who get caught most often are the stupid ones. Smart criminals are much, much harder to catch and keep locked up.

Now I’m curious, what would happen, if they send her a chimera lawyer.

Trying to game out “realistically” there wouldn’t be a huge number of chimera lawyers (prejudice against them) and the few who existed AND were on the right state bar association AND were currently doing Public Defender would probably say no and cite conflict of interest.

Also she has money from her hate group and will hire a competent attorney.

That being said federal law enforcement with a sense of humor would try very hard to get one to show up as a troll first just to get rejected.
