What you're suggesting is not legally possible. If an entity or individual can be sued, then that entity or individual has the right to have legal counsel. Besides, I can guarantee right now that all we have is speculation about what actually happened in Lower Merion. This is a nice juicy story, but consider how many folks have installed software to aid recovery on laptops and other computers, the same type of software that is now claimed to have been misused. Lower Merion School District in case anyone is interested also has other suits pending on other issues like whether or not it intentionally assigned African-American students to one school rather than a closer school in the name of balance. > It doesn't help anyone in that school district to pay lawyers. > So would you have the same belief if for example the school district were being sued over claims that it was using X-ray equipment to look at the naked bodies of citizens on the street despite it not having X-Ray equipment available to do so? I also note that the folks making the claim that the district should not be sued likely would not quite feel that way if their darlings were involved. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
