Would it later turn out that she could be in trouble with these same cops for <i>not</i> calling them when she first knocked on the door and got no answer?<br /><br />Well, either way the cops were jerks. I guess we should be happy that the day ended with nobody being tasered. :/ms_xenohttp://www.flickr.com/photos/xenophoranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-46285708179015474002012-10-21T18:13:12.913-07:002012-10-21T18:13:12.913-07:00This doesn't quite qualify as Theft of Service...This doesn't quite qualify as Theft of Services Charles. While I agree that it was shitty for the guy to back out once she arrived without at least tipping her gas money he hasn't committed a crime here. Now should she have performed the dance and then he refused to pay up that's clearly theft of services. I think the officers could have made that point without mocking her though.Coldtypehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509152474515164151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-41997284378241863302012-10-21T18:11:41.837-07:002012-10-21T18:11:41.837-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Coldtypehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509152474515164151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-51237593021476574672012-10-21T12:40:04.764-07:002012-10-21T12:40:04.764-07:00Yeah, well, New Hampshire.Yeah, well, New Hampshire.NomadUKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-78545079771756825672012-10-19T00:04:44.825-07:002012-10-19T00:04:44.825-07:00Try calling in the police and deciding once they c...Try calling in the police and deciding once they come there isn't really a crime. That usually flies, right? You'd never get hit with a hefty fine or even jail time for falsely reporting? <br /><br />Hell, they never even shot an unarmed black man reaching for his wallet, so I'd be hard pressed to say it was theft of services.Danielhttp://danielmwolff.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-26703516411327866752012-10-17T17:55:12.117-07:002012-10-17T17:55:12.117-07:00I once did not open the door when I ordered a pizz...<i> I once did not open the door when I ordered a pizza, and did not have the cash/credit.</i><br /><br />That's a pretty shitty thing to do, perhaps mitigated by the fact it was Domino's taking the hit. It's an even shittier thing to do to a dancer, someone who's presumably an independent contractor and is taking the loss themselves -- and who, according to accepted practice and law, would be justified charging for a missed appointment.Charles Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005070529766546097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339045.post-84332546511397950332012-10-17T16:29:37.828-07:002012-10-17T16:29:37.828-07:00Oh please, I once did not open the door when I ord...Oh please, I once did not open the door when I ordered a pizza, and did not have the cash/credit.
