Feels like we might see a lawsuit vs AFPD .

any lawyers can explain , if the cop takes serving papers to the door can they be refused ??

Sure. They can simply refuse to open the door. The process server will note any details, including a description of any hints that the target is actually home and avoiding service, rather than not being home. It depends on how the Plaintiff wants to move forward. The Plaintiff can ask that the Defendants be served by alternate means.

Don't forget Better Call Saul. That is where I refined my trial skills. I re-watch it every year for my ethics CLE.

This is blowing up on Zoomer social media:

Basically, Bricks and Minifigs, a LEGO resale franchisor, owned by a BYU grad and headquartered in Utah County, Valued at probably $60-100 M, is facing massive social media backlash for 'stealing' some family heirloom lego star wars collection that they keep valuing at ~$200,000. A YouTube channel with the handle "reckless Ben" has made some very entertaining, however sketchy legally, videos that hare getting reposted everywhere. My Zoomer son who loves collecting legos looped me into this one. Fair or not, the online critics are making Bricks and Minifigs owners look really sketchy. I will admit I am finding this very entertaining. WAY better than secret lives of mormon wives.

I've been following this. This is going to go down as an example of PR malpractice. The AFPD needs serious scrutiny.

i will say i was supposed to be studying to pass the amazon cert but fell into a lego mini fig rabbit hole. this thing is all over the place and i think the afpd is going to feel it. unless we missed some info Mickey Haller would have the kid owning the lego business and the afpd would be calling utah country sheriffs to fill in. ( i think a competent lawyer could win a malpractice case against the police officers) Saul would get Huell to plant legos on the cops and then it would go really wierd.

at the very least afpfd needs to buy a new microphone. Dude we can barely hear you groveling.

one other thing i they had just help that banner on the sidewalk there they could have claimed first admenment and and the dude should have left his phone in his pocket and said " i dont consent to any searchs or seizures" and the police would have had a hard time find a away to move them .

It looks like the gag order reached Ben. But this story is not going to die. It's like a masterclass in doing poor PR.

If corporate had stepped up publicly and reimbursed for the legos it could have perceived as very positive.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the Elder McKay commentary on "This Little Light of Mine" from the conference in Oklahoma.

There's an Aussie Mormon dude who makes reels, and I think he nails the analysis--in essence, it's a little surprising that leadership for an increasingly international and multicultural church still doesn't know how to talk about race.

Until the "African slave" bit, it was just a little cringey. It didn't help that he really didn't have a point.

Guy thinks he is funny, turns out he is just awkward. He should only read written remarks from now on.

[Joe Public]

I don’t know what you’re talking about. What happened?

[Green Monstah]

He wrote a written apology. Well done.

[Northwestcoug]

Well now the controversy is over and I didn't even get a chance to react to it.
