Where, exactly, does it contemplate any such free range disclosure? Unsubstantiated assertions for the win? Not so much.
I continue to maintain that the aggregation and publication of personal information that may be published or viewed in public, yet obscure sources or places, can constitute a common law claim for invasion of privacy. Such a claim is related to common law defamation claims, and is recognized in most states.
Prove it. Case law citations, or you're making it up.
That is my professional opinion based on my professional experience.
And what exactly is that experience? We already know this isn't your practice area. So you know someone who knows someone who tried to sue someone for posting their license plate on the Internet for parking like an asshole? What happened to that case? Citations?
I have been quite generous, I think, in offering my opinion here as a caution to those who may not be aware of the legal implications of these actions.
Generous is an interesting choice of word. You have asserted your OPINION without any legal backup and nothing more to validate your opinion other than yourself. Fabulous legal strategy there, Perry Mason.
That some twit has the audacity to assert, without any substantiation whatsoever, that she can aggregate and publish any public information about anybody out there anywhere she wants without legal risk proves that she is a moron. Moreover, her demand that I must prove my assertions by sharing my attorney work-product shows that she also suffers from profound feelings of over-entitlement.
Imagine that, someone, actually more than one someone (guess you don't get how the internet works) thinks you should prove your crazy assertions. Also, nice try changing the initial condition. PP has argued, very well, that there is no expectation of privacy on the internet and if you park like an asshole, or cut someone off, and someone snaps your pic and posts it, the poster has done nothing wrong.
You want to pretend like we are talking about aggregating information, and stalking people, but no one ever suggested that. You are making shit up because you are, frankly, made of crazy.
My name, address, and phone number is in the phone book and available to the public. I'll still sue anybody who takes such information and publishes it on DCUM. And I will win.
Wait. Let me get make sure I understand this. Your name, address and phone number is available to the public but you think that you can sue anyone who takes that publicly available information and disseminates it on the public internet? Seriously? Wow, you are far more stupid than I thought.
Keep pushing the envelope, lady. I am quite confident that you will not like the result.
Bring it, Kidlet. I find it more than amusing that you, who think it's beyond the pale to call out people publicly for the rude things they do (in case you forgot, this thread was about rude people who park like jerks and get called out on the internet) to engage in clearly threatening and bullying behavior on the internet.
You are a bully. If you were an actual lawyer in this practice area, you would know that your bullying is a far more actionable offense than publishing a license plate of a stupid parker. I can only conclude that you are playing devil's advocate or your too stupid to pass the bar. Honestly, I don't care what makes you so idiotic; I only care about educating others about your idiocy.
Game.Set.Match.
Go 'head, you ballsy butch bitch. Pick a name, address, and phone number out of the DC White Pages, and post it. Let's see what happens. As I said, I don't have to share my attorney work-product with you to prove my assertions. Please post case citations to substantiate your ass-in-the-air assertion that you can, without legal risk, publish personal, aggregated information about someone that is publically available in an obscure source. Or, just take my challenge, Missy Pissy Piglet, and post one name, phone number and address of a DC resident from the phone book. Post it right below. I'll make sure Jeff keeps careful note of your IP address.
Game.Set.Match.Bitch. You'll never do it; you'd shit your cheap thong you'd be so scared. So I guess we'll just expect some more hot air from you. Huff. Puff. But make sure you don't do anything to blow your house down.
I'm going to remove the broom handle from your ass now. I think you've had enough. Thanks for playing.
