Natasha blew five times the legal drinking limit... here's why she walked free from court​

  • Drink driving charge after private school pick-up
  • Health condition behind staggering reading, court told
A mother who blew five times the legal drinking limit during a school pick-up has been found not guilty after blaming the reading on a popular health product and a reflux condition.

Natasha Jansen, 49, fell asleep in her car outside the Northbridge playing fields of Shore School, on Sydney's lower north shore, on the afternoon of July 23, 2024, causing a long queue.

Suspecting she may have been drinking, police administered a breath test which returned a reading of 0.243 - nearly five times the legal limit of 0.05.

This is awesome. The Donald Trump Admin is mass firing immigration judges in San Francisco

- Since April, 12 of San Francisco's 21 immigration judges have been fired
- All of the judges granted deportation relief at double the national rate
- Immigration judges are under the executive branch, meaning that the president can fire them at will, and that's exactly what Trump is doing

Reporter says NGOs have been paying legal fees of the illegals going to court, but Trump is firing the judges creating a backlog

“The court's backlog is now at 120,000 cases and rising fast, but waiting isn't safe. A pending case doesn't protect you from ICE, and people detained in the Bay Area are often brought out of it, where there are less resources and harsher precedent”

All activist judges need to be fired immediately

Riverview man’s truck repossessed over a 14-year-old judgment; plaintiff deceased​

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Riverview man has been without his vehicle since early November after it was repossessed from his driveway even though he said he never missed a single payment.

Charles Songer’s vehicle was seized after a judge granted the repossession when a 14-year-old landlord-tenant case from Leon County was quietly reopened in early November.
