      Actually when my sister went missing a couple of times, my parents were made to wait and report it again the next day. Then when they would find her, we wouldn't get any word. (she was over 18 but still lived at home)
      Edit: I'm sure if it was a kidnapping it would be different (like if we had evidence or saw something) but the words were to report missing.

      @@timward2647 It depends heavily on the context, like who it was who is missing and what their normal schedule is like. If a kid doesn't show up after school when their bus drives past the house, that's an immediate concern. If an adult has been missing all afternoon after leaving work, that might not be an issue since they could have just decided to go out somewhere instead of sticking to their usual schedule. So the real rule of thumb is to report it when you notice a relevant gap in appearances from someone, which of course is going to be highly subjective and so sometimes run into the issue you describe where the authorities don't see it as the problem that you do.

      @@TheSquareOnes While true, you can still make the call, when you first notice that something might be amiss, even if you will be told to wait. Keeping in mind the time of the initial phone call can help to establish a timeline when/if the police do start an investigation. It gives the police, or whomever the investigators are, an initial jumping off point they can officially point to.

    Absolutely correct.
    It is "illegal" for an employer to fire you, or discipline you in any way for discussing your wages with your co-workers.
    That being said, if you think for a second that they aren't able to fire you for almost any barely-existing infraction of company rules very shortly thereafter (yes, everyone would know why you were fired, but a lawyer would be able to prove nothing), then you're so naive that I know a number of Nigerian princes who have a proposal for you.

      A popular excuse for firing is some combination of "worked too slowly" and "goofed up work done". I had a boss one time who threatened to fire me for not enrolling my son at the day care I worked at, but instead at a rival (better) day care. She then fired me for "not getting along with others" (there was an isolated misunderstanding I apologized for IN FRONT OF HER) and "taking breaks that were too long" (up to sixteen minutes! Well, let's see, walk to bathroom, one minute, pee, two minutes, take a dump, five minutes, change tampon, two minutes, change pad, two minutes, clean up after all this nastiness, one minute, wash hands thoroughly and dry, take some Advil, two minutes, walk back to room, one minute... Yeah, depending on time of month, could totally happen.). She then hired me back, but threatened to fire me again for the same reason. Tried to find a lawyer to help me. Crickets. No one was interested in trying to represent me. I guess workers are supposed to be good, compliant little slaves all the time. Even (in the current situation) if it kills them.

      I actually looked up the "sovereign citizen" thing, and the movement (or at least the way the movement _started_ not necessarily what it is now) is not a rejection of _all_ law, just statute and regulatory law
      Basically, they claim that only common law applies to them (common law being the precedents decided by courts) and that the "local county sheriff has more power than the federal government" and "the federal government is illegitimate" (also a rejection of more or less all forms of tax as unconstitutional^, which I can sympathize with)
      Some of the arguments kind of make sense (especially for someone like me who believes that the power distribution in the US should be focus more on the state/local level) but I still don't know how they got the idea that federal law simply doesn't apply to them
      ^Technically, direct federal income tax _was_ ruled unconstitutional by the US supreme court (this ruling only applied to income from land and personal property) but this ruling was made _before_ the 16th amendment. The 16th amendment grants congress the power to levy a direct income tax, and since it's an amendment, it's actually in the f***ing constitution
      Sure, there can be a legitimate argument about whether or not congress _should_ have that power, but the fact of the matter is that they do, thinking it's a dumb law does not change the fact that it is a law

    We had a bizarre situation with the car my husband owned when we got married. When we had been married for a little over a year, we moved the family in with my mom while selling my trailer and seeking an apartment. Three cars at one house meant his car parked in the street. A guy came by one day while I was at work and said he had hit hubby's car the night before, thinking it was a tree. WTF!? It was pretty obvious he must have been drunk and wanted to sober up before announcing that he had sideswiped our parked car. He also tried to get us to not contact his insurance and to use his buddy to fix up our car, don't worry, he would cover it. Well, that became quite the mess when I went to a couple reputable auto repair shops in the area and got estimates roughly three times what the guy was offering, which of course he didn't want to pay. Police and his insurance both got involved and I never heard from him again. Then, day before sideswiped car is due to be repaired, my husband is delivering the Sunday paper in a little side alley. Man whose driveway opens into alley backs out in front of hubby, proceeds to stop sign. Hubby follows behind, as you do on a road. Stops behind other driver. Other driver must have remembered he needed something from house and, unused to other cars using alley/having not seen hubby? proceeds to throw it into reverse and hit the gas. Crunch. Hubby's car is now totalled. Fortunately, this was an upstanding sort of fellow (not like guy #1) who claimed full responsibility, because who would have believed that a car, stopped at a stop sign, would promptly reverse and back into the car stopped behind it rather than getting rear-ended? Anyway, since an assessment had already been done following the first accident, it was a relatively straightforward procedure for both insurances involved to pay up, the old car to get scrapped, and for us to spend a couple weeks in a rental until we could purchase ourselves a new car. 2/10, would not do again, but makes for one heck of a story. 😁

    This varies from State to State (I am speaking from my state, Connecticut). But, I work for my state's unemployment office and many people tell me made up laws all the time.
    - "My employer fired me illegally, he didn't give me three warnings!" There is no law that requires three warnings, that would be policy of the employer and there is no law that requires the employer follows their own policy. It is always fun watching people then go "My employer doesn't need to follow his own policy?" I am like, yeah, there are the one who wrote it. Unless you have a contract (which would make it a civil matter), your employer's policy is just that a policy.
    - "They didn't show up for three days, so, by law, they quit!" Not a law, it was at one point as the state did have what was called a Constructive Quit, but that law ceased being I believe before I finished High School. This is a discharge (being fired) now, unless the person in question admits "Yeah, I quit that's why I stop showing up."
    - "My employer didn't tell me why I was fired." In Connecticut, they are not required to. They aren't even required to have a reason legally. However, if they contest the collection of Unemployment and tell the state the reason, the state is legally obligated to tell you what the employer stated.
    - My favorite "It is illegal for you to hold my unemployment!" No, it is illegal to do so without a valid reason outlined by law. If we asked you to provide us paperwork and you refused or ignored us, we can not only hold it, we can deny you it. If we have a report you are working is another good reason.
    - Since my promotion last year. In regards to asking people where they looked for work, "It is not legal for you to ask me that." ... it is literally my job to ask you that. My job exists to ask you where you applied and where you inquired about work. It is my job to ask you about how you would accept work if you have potential issues with accepting work.

Same goes for big sale signs; they always have a notation of which items they pertain to.

I have never known anyone who has won a wrongful termination lawsuit, because, just was said here, the employer just makes up some bullshit, and can afford more than an out of work person. I went to my wrongful termination hearing, when I was fired due to the employer learning of my diagnosis of a serious illness and they anticipated that I would miss significant work hours due to treatments and surgery, the judge was clearly familiar with the family who owned the company. I found out that day that I was the twelfth person to sue this employer for wrongful termination in the previous 11 months. I also found out, after the ruling went against me, that the judge had gone on hunting vacations to Africa and Asia with the family that owned this company. He didn't recuse himself, as he should have. When I appealed the ruling going against me the hearing was in front of a different judge, and this judge not only had gone on international vacation trips for canned hunting, he also was a fraternity brother if the owner of the company, and groomsmen at each other's weddings. My appeal was over before it began.

    It is illegal to fire someone for discussing wages/unionizing. However, randomly firing someone who just HAPPENS to be leading efforts to unionize is legal. So is shutting down an entire store or warehouse, devastating an entire community, when that just happened to be where a lot of people were trying to unionize (as Wal-Mart and Amazon have both done). Just say the individual wasn't "fitting in" or the closure was for "business reasons". And now all other employees are intimidated.

      There are ways to detect deepfakes, most aren't terribly good at forging even minimally sudden motion outside the face region. There's a way to validate real-time video streams, something to do with intermittent directional flashes of infrared light, which would be impossible to emulate faithfully in a timely fashion. Of course this only validates streams as they happen, not recordings, but it's a start.

      That is definitely not how personal rights work in this country. There's stuff you're generally allowed to do but that aren't considered a big enough deal if the state wants to regulate it in some way, and then there's _fundamental_ rights, which are recognized as being inextricable linked with the whole "life, liberty, property and/or the pursuit of happiness" thing that the government generally *can't* interfere with. Except, even if a fundamental right is impacted by some governmental stricture, the stricture may still be upheld if it is determined to be justified by a compelling state interest, and is both narrowly tailored to and the least restrictive method of enforcing that interest. So even if "not wearing a mask" were deemed a fundamental right (which is highly unlikely), there's a very good chance the courts would still uphold the constitutionality of mask ordinances.

      Costco being a private business can require you to wear anything they say.

    Studied a little bit of law in high school and a person who thinks they are being fallowed by an unmarked car can call 911 to get it identified as law enforcement or not.

      They used to have one that was called American History. When I was a freshman in high school, American History was a required course, and we spent an entire month on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

    in at will states, you really can't risk 'knowing your rights' when it comes to employment. they don't have to have a reason to fire you, so you can't take them to court over wrongful termination in most cases. you just go with it.
