When you give victim rights to someone and they go “yeah I understand, I used to be a PI in [one county over]” and then proceeds to talk shop with you

On the DL hoping an alleged victim in one of my cases invokes their right to not talk to me bc if they waive, it’s not gonna be a fun interview 😢

Fun fact from the OCDLA conference: ORS 136.595 says that if the witness you’re subpoenaing is 14 or under, you may serve the subpoena by giving a copy to their parent or guardian. May! Not have to. So you could totally just serve a baby. I mean, there are practical reasons to serve the parents.

This is fucking ridiculous. They don’t want to listen to any of our solutions and then act surprised when the crisis isn’t immediately fixed.

Every day I wake up and thank God the details of my private life aren’t in court filings. It’s so normalized, but reading peoples’ secrets is a privilege and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

At the jail to see client
*hands new deputy ID and visit form*
New deputy: *looks at computer* Isn’t there a no-contact order?
Deputy: What’s the name on it?
ND: *reads complaining witness’s name*
Deputy: And is that their name?
ND: *looks at badge* Oh. I guess not.
