Here is something I found that is tremendously fascinating potential case law involving privacy. Now that many students are are beginning their Fall semesters in both college and secondary schools virtually, how far into a private residence can a jurisdiction claim domain and be allowed to regulate? Does the fact that a camera is on and a teacher can see into a student's house give the school the right to enforce all of it's regulations and rules on the private residence? And taking that a step further, can the school system claim the private residence is an extension of the teacher's classroom and demand inspecting the home for compliance to classroom rules and regulation? I found an article claiming a fifth-grader in Baltimore got a visit from the police after his teacher called to report that she had seen a BB gun on the wall behind the student during a class video call. According to the article, there is "...a lack of privacy during virtual classes after her son was targeted by a teacher who saw what she thought was a scary-looking gun hanging on the wall of the boy’s bedroom."
Teacher Spying on Student During Virtual Class Sends Cops to Search 11-Year-Old's Home After Spotting a BB Gun
This isn't from a new source like AP, Reuters, etc., and appears to be somewhat politically slanted. However, it does raise very interesting questions regarding privacy and the limit on government regulation. Also, does a person's home become subject to rules and regulations of a corporation because an employee is working from home and a camera is on? And if so, can an employee or student charge rent or receive compensation from the school system or corporation for use of the house as an extension of the workplace or classroom? That's Constitution level stuff right there folks. Potential Supreme Court case if someone brings this to trial?
Some quotes from the article:
"The principal and the teacher cited a rule stating that students may not bring guns to school and claimed it extended to virtual classes as well"
According to the boy's mother, "[the] teacher took a screenshot of the boy’s bedroom, which is incredibly creepy and a violation of the family’s privacy. When the mother demanded to see the screenshot taken by the creeper-teacher, she was told she would not be allowed to view it because it wasn’t part of his official school record."Last edited by Funkmonkey; 08-23-2020, 03:23 PM.Comment

This is fascinating and amazing. An MH-53E front landing gear got stuck and a maintenance crew on the ground came out to pry it open while the helicopter hovered ...for 20 minutes. There's all sorts of way this could go really bad. Here is this pilot making this big helicopter hover 6-7 feet off the deck with people standing underneath it. Gotta do what ya gotta do, or get a rotor strike.

This is amazing, yet also exemplifies the Roth Army spirit at the same time. Reckless or standard operating procedure for a palm tree lumberjack? Just don't know. You decide for yourself.

Would it not be easier to cut it at the bottom?
