Law Offices of Pete Holland

Why ARE you still here? Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along. Radio Free Pedro is NOT, I repeat NOT, going to begin pirate radio broadcasts from this frequency. Never gonna happen. Not never. That problem was solved and it is staying solved.

Which part of bugger off did you not understand?

Peter Holland is no longer an active member of the State Bar of California. He is, therefore, no longer a practicing attorney. If you believe you have legal business with him, you should understand that you do not. Consult an attorney in your local area immediately. He resigned at the conclusion of the lawsuit in which we was involved against Related Management. It was the only way he could square the circle in his head and still live with himself and be true to his principles. He was NOT like them. Never had been. Never would be. Never WANT to be. They all deserve each other. I'm gone daddy gone, the Pete has gone away.

Drinking and driving is stupid. That being said, best to know what you are in for if you get stopped. These tests are not as accurate as most people think.

There is far more to a DUI defense than most people realize. Just because the machine says you were over the legal limit, it is not the end of the matter by any means.

Hard for many folks to imagine why someone would do this if you have never been interrogated by the police. It never ceases to amaze me what some people do under pressure.

An interesting perspective on an evolving area of law.

For a long time now technology has far outrun the legal system's ability to keep up with it. Too many lawyers and judges seem unwilling to understand, much less embrace, technological development. For many, computers are something that happens to staff. When I worked as a judicial intern in law school, the Judge still required the office to use Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS almost a decade after it had become obsolete. Recently, the State Bar of California has taken to giving out t...humb drives with the program materials on it for all of the classes in the annual conference. In one of those classes, half of the lawyers in the room admitted that they did not know what a thumb drive was much less how to work one. The capacity of the Government to track your every movement now is unprecedented in human history. Without robust interpretation of the 4th and 5th Amendments in the light of this technological change, we are in for a future that only George Orwell could have imagined 50 years ago. How can the judicial system keep up with the implications of technological development that it cannot understand? I suspect we need a new privacy law to come out of the legislature if we want to remain free in our own country.

Wow. This is kinda cool. Going back and looking at what I was writing and when and now ... a long time later ... knowing what happened next and why. Probably a podcast in there somewhere over at Radio Free Pedro. Too soon to tell. #RadioFreePedro

I'm back and broadcasting from Radio Free Pedro. Come check us out at www.radiofreepedro.com. #RadioFreePedro Still not a lawyer. Still not your lawyer. Still not legal advice.

Too soon to tell.

They think I'm crazy. But I know better. It is not I who am crazy. It is I who am MAD!

Have the wankers gone? Good. So, I been thinking. I used to be a lawyer. That made me the law. I was in the law. I was kinda an inlaw. But now. ... ... .... Now, I'm not IN law any more. That makes me what? OUT of the law. Out of law. An Outlaw if you will. You know. The outlaw I was always born to be. THAT guy is about to put in an appearance at a BBQ smoker near you.
