Judges have the power to decide if a suspect can be held or not. If they are a risk then they can be held until trial.

No system is perfect, how would you like to get accused of something and have to come up with $50k cash to pay out before you're convicted?

It keeps a lot of people out of jail over simple misdemeanors.

You can get hats made.

If you can find the artwork that was used to make it, that's all you'll need. Otherwise, if you have a photo of it, you could get any reasonably capable graphic designer to remake it for you and have one made from that.

It will be more expensive than just any old hat, but it sounds like a sentimental thing.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

I'm not confused, I don't agree with your opinion.

It's not complicated, these labor laws are as clear as obeying a traffic light. Not knowing doesn't matter, it happened and someone wasn't doing their job to ensure that the company is compliant.

The idea that you get off by saying "We didn't know"... I'm not even sure how to respond, it's a ridiculous thing to say.

Let's just say that for a company like Jersey Mike's, it doesn't surprise me at all that they would turn a blind eye to this and try to sweep it under the rug. Which is exactly why you don't go to HR for something like this, you report it first to the Labor Department, and when, not if you get fired, it's clearly retaliation and that's illegal too.

I would agree with you if it were another business and the employee wasn't a sandwich shop worker.

Nothing against doing that kind of work, my point is that they generally treat them as expendable anyway. Someone who has resources to hire a lawyer is harder to dismiss.

HRs job is to protect the company in the easiest most cost effective way possible.
