You're still served even if
you didn't touch the papers,
you threw them on the ground,
you chased after the process server and put them on her windshield--or made your kid do it (yeah, that happened once),
or she gave them to somebody you live with (who you maybe told to say you weren't there). 😉

My view at the moment on surveillance in Pacifica, CA.

California attorneys: Do you rely on the process server to fill out this portion of your summons? For “individual” defendants it’s obvious and easy, but what about business defendants? www.amberhowepi.com/tips/summons...

I love coming to this Shell gas station & car wash on the corner of El Camino Real and Sneath in San Bruno. It has a vegan food truck on site, underwater theme statues and murals lining the car wash driveway, and for some reason a dinosaur eating a guy in a suit. And reggae! 🎵

Evading the process server? When people pretend they're not home, attorneys will ask process servers to find defendants or witnesses at their jobs and/or stake out their locations. Then add the cost to whatever they're suing for. Just open the door!

I cannot hack into someone's phone, e-mail or social media accounts. It's not legal and I don't even know how. But if you have an open court case, you can subpoena for info from the service provider(s) about someone relevant to that case.

I can locate someone and ask them to contact you. But I cannot *make* them contact you, or do whatever it is you need from them.

Any other PIs using IRB and/or Delvepoint (owned by the same company)? Seems like every few searches return BAD RESULTS and I get billed. I have to open a chat agent and ask for the credit back. Wastes so much time! Is this happening for anyone else?

California should republish deleted federal websites on state servers and hire climate scientists fired by Trump. Keep data public. How about it, @chrisrogersca.bsky.social, @benallenca.bsky.social, and @scottwiener.bsky.social?
