I am not sure if any lawyer would take his case with that pitful amount. In my home state, anyone who wants to file lawsuit against government, he can only sue up to $100,000 or $200,000. I cant remmy which. Pretty small still tho. Most lawyers would not take it here because of too small $$$. So most of time people simply file claims against the governmment themselves in hope they can get something from it. It is kinda better than nothing. If they file against a private company, it would be unlimited. Odd isnt it? I dont know about tort laws in Minnesota. Hope he can change his mind to raise the amount of his lawsuit if the state has no limit. $50,000 Hmmm… I am not sure if any lawyer would take his case with that pitful amount.

I worry about the legal part, you worry about their feelings. Pathetic. R- Rox: Why do you worry about that part? I worry about the legal part, you worry about their feelings.

Doug will be happy? Naw, don't think so. Come on, I will be happy for one million dollars.

If he's happy enough with $50,000, so be it. It could also be a tactic to get this over with quickly. If he sued for millions, the battle would take years to finish.

I am wondering why NAD's Law Center has not stepped into this to lend major help to Mr. Bahl? Has Mr. Bahl's State Association been involved to lend a helping hand? Did they communicate with NAD on this? If not, I would recommend Mr. Bahl to be represented by an Advocacy Inc in his town that works under the DOJ (Department of Justice). They sure will represent you! and fight for you in that case. This news has been everywhere via all links such as Deafread, newspapers, etc. on this case and I found it very interesting to see NAD's Law Center not involved. Where is NAD's Law Center on this to assist Mr. Bahl? If NAD can write a formal letter to Pepsi on the disagreement what AGB has wrote them, why not Mr. Bahl? I just found it very interested to see NAD not there to be involved. Thanks! Seemingly this is somewhat a big issue out in that town that violates the ADA issue under Title 2.

When I learned about former President Bill Clinton was in our town and that we could get his autograph by buying his book. I decided to take my mother with me. We found out that we were in a very long line and while my mother and I were chatting (in ASL) The city police had instructed people in our line to go home because there were other lines that people made reservation to meet with the Clinton. Many of us were upset and did not feel we ere treated fairly but anyway my point here is that the cop sort of pushing me little too hard on my back while he saw that my mother and I were chatting each other. He pointed to me to go away. I wanted so badly to tell the police to show some respect and not to push me like that but when I could see his face...showed with brutal look I decided not create drama as I could not afford to leave my mother alone at the bookstore. You are right that some cops could be very mean and abusive. It is scary because we can't tell who to trust and not to trust. I would like to share something with you.

I hope that I and many others like you will never experience getting beat up by cops. To see a baton always scared me. It must be scary for Doug to go through this horrible ordeal. It is quite obvious that Doug does not have a good attorney. I wish he had met two or three attorneys prior hiring one to accept his case. My sympathy goes out to Doug.
