RE: My plan to deal with subpoenas to testify

I was subpoenaed to appear before federal grand jury two days ago, and the server was hanging out on my front porch for quite a while. I had failed to answer the door an hour earlier, and apparently he had just decided to set up camp there (cleverly out of scope of my peep hole) until I stepped out to go to work, which is exactly what happened. When I relayed the story to my boss later, he informed me that having a server camped out on my front porch is a perfectly good reason to call in sick. Heh. Either way, I am now installing a camera out there, because I have learned a lesson about the security of my front porch, and the effectiveness of the peep hole. -----Original Message----- From: Declan McCullagh [mailto:declan@well.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2000 2:53 PM To: Tim May; cypherpunks(a)cyberpass.net Subject: Re: My plan to deal with subpoenas to testify At 11:01 12/6/2000 -0800, Tim May wrote: >(Of course, _serving me_ is problematic.

When I was served with a subpoena in the CJ Parker trial, I had had a party the night before and let a friend of a friend sleep over in my living room. The process server showed up around 7:30 am the following morning and my houseguest let him into the foyer.

When I was subpoenaed in the Parker trial, I did not give any pre trial statement or affidavits or whatnot. (There's no incentive for me to do so, and presumably little incentive for list members to do so, unless they see it as a way to avoid further involvement.) My lawyer was the person who had contact with DoJ. >(Note about expenses: I had heard during the Parker trial that various >witnesses called to travel to Washington were to "submit travel expense >receipts." Is this true? What part of the Constitution says citizens must Yes. It's a standard government form. They also paid something like $25 a day while you waited outside the courtroom before being called to the stand, and $40 a day you actually testified. Yay. -Declan

Hypenated-Americans: For Tim
by Declan McCullagh 07 Dec '00

About the American Hyphen Society The American Hyphen Society is a community-based, not-for-profit, grass-roots conciousness-raising/education-research alliance that seeks to help effectuate the across-the-board self-empowerment of wide-ranging culture-, nationality-, ethnicity-, creed-, gender-, and sexual-orientation-defined identity groups by excising all multiculturally-less-than-sensitive terminology from the English language, and replacing it with counter-hegemonic, cruelty-, gender-, bias-, and, if necessary, content-free speech. The society's motto is "It became necessary to destroy the language in order to save it". Its headquarters are in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

What possible rationale (aside from "bank policy," "identification when you lose your passbook," "it's easier for us this way," or "the computer won't let us do that") could a bank (or the fedgov) have for requiring social security account numbers on such accounts?

Yes, if you receive a subpoena, there will be information with the document that instructs you on how to contact a clerk that will make travel arrangements for you if necessary. The rule here is that they will compensate you, or outright pay for, the cheapest method of transportation. In other words, if it is cheaper to drive, then they will not pay for a ticket. It does not mean that you will be riding in a goat truck or something of that nature. Any additional expenses associated with testifying can be indicated on a form that you will generally receive when you arrive. As for the forty dollars a day, this is true as well. ok, Rush -----Original Message----- From: Tim May [mailto:tcmay@got.net] Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2000 3:19 PM To: cypherpunks(a)cyberpass.net Subject: Re: My plan to deal with subpoenas to testify At 1:08 PM -0800 12/6/00, Tim May wrote: >At 3:52 PM -0500 12/6/00, Declan McCullagh wrote: >> >>>(Note about expenses: I had heard during the Parker trial that >>>various witnesses called to travel to Washington were to "submit >>>travel expense receipts."

Sounds like a good fee for me to charge. I mis-spoke. He's not a lawyer...he's a statistics professor. Still, sounds like a good fee to charge for my "expert testimony" on Bell's scheme, should it come down to this. --Tim -- (This .sig file has not been significantly changed since 1992.

Could you e-mail with some sites I could go to and see young male porn. Saw your e-mail at a nambla site. I have not been able to find any young male porn sites. Would appreciate the help.
