"MAN:" "Is there any reason to fear the suspect" " might be armed?" " Well, your partner already asked me that, what, four times?" "I'm faster than my partner." "The kid takes off" "I'll be the one who catches him, so I'm asking." "Is there any chance this kid might have a weapon?" "He won't be armed." "I think we got him." "(garbled radio message)" "That's his car." "Let's go." "Hey, Scott." "Talk for a second?" "Just talk." "Hey, get off me!" "Get off of me!" " Get off me!" "You can't do this!" " They're not gonna let go of you, Scott." "Just calm down." "Let me go!" "Get off me!" " Son, it's time to come home." " No, no." "You can't do this... what gives you the right to do this?" "!" "I'm your father." "It's time to come home, son." "Harry's Law 2x15" " Search and Seize Original air date March 25, 2012" "WOMAN:" "Excuse me." "Harry Korn?" " Yes?" " Hi." "I'm Margaret Albertson, you're next-door neighbor." "Oh, right, right." "Well, we really haven't officially met." "Uh, well, uh, welcome to the neighborhood." "I've been here five years." "Oh, well, um... it's nice to finally meet you." "Harry, have you noticed anything weird lately?" "I'm a lawyer, weird is about all I see." "(laughs) I mean, in the neighborhood." "Oh, if this is about some kind of neighborhood watch or whatever, I'll buy It's not that." "Whistles, or orange vests, or whatever." "I saw a UFO last night." "Why not?" "I mean, I saw something..." "it was a flying thing with lights on it, and it was kind of hovering over my backyard." "I really got to get to work." "Would you just do me one favor?" "When you get home tonight, will you just go out in your backyard and just look up and see if you see anything?" "No problem." "ADAM:" "It's kidnapping." " No, it isn't." " Yes it is." "Of course it is." "You can't just snatch a kid off the street and..." "Where is he now?" " Home." "Where he should be." " What makes you sure he won't just run away again?" " He won't." " Why?" "!" "'Cause he's locked in a basement." "You just gonna keep asking me questions?" " He's locked in a basement?" "!" " What's going on?" "He had a teenage kid hauled off the street." "They bring him back to his house where he's now locked in a basement!" "What's the problem?" ""What's the problem?"" "Cassie, will you tell them parents can't just kidnap their kid and lock him up?" " How old?" " Sixteen." "Not kidnapping." "Cream?" "What the..." "Did you not hear the part about being locked in a basement?" "This is soy." "Do we have any regular cream?" "Can't he just be emancipated if he has a full-time job?" "Not in Ohio, he can't." "Oh, it's not enough I got to deal with nut jobs all day long." "Turns out I live next to one." "Oliver kidnapped a 16-year-old boy." "Fantastic." "This better not be decaf." "I'm already having a day." "You need to get your ass downstairs." "Why?" "Just get down there." "ADAM:" "What do you mean, you're on strike?" "We love working for Harry, and we have no problem working for you." "Then what?" "More money?" "It's not the money." " Then what?" " It's her, Chunhua." "She's abusive." " Chinua is abusive?" " You don't see it 'cause you're all goo-goo eyed... try working for her for ten minutes" "First of all, I'm not all goo-goo eyed for her." " Right." " Right." "What does she do?" "What doesn't she do?" "We have a strict dress code." "We get docked if we're so much as a minute late for work." "We get docked if the register doesn't balance out to the penny." "We get docked if we don't smile." "It's dock, dock, dock... by the time she's through docking us we owe her money at the end of the day." "She's a fascist terrorist, Adam." "And you just don't see it." "CHUNHUA:" "I ask them to dress executive-chic." "I insist on punctuality." "As for balancing the books, that shouldn't be a crime." "Okay, but they think you're mean." "They said I'm mean?" "They said "fascist" actually." ""Mean" was my word." "I'm not asking the girls to do anything but fulfill their job responsibilities." "Hello." "Hey, hey." "I am looking for..." "Olivier." "Oliver." " That's me." " Hi." "I'm Phoebe Blake, nice to meet you." " Oliver Richard." " Wow." "This place is kind of cool." "Yeah." "Can I help you with something?" "Oh, yeah." "You have a client of mine." "Scott Denchy. 16, dark, curly hair," " a little pissed off." " Okay." " First of all, I don't have him." " Yeah." "His parents do, his legal guardians." " You kidnapped him on a street." "You and a bunch of thugs..." " Okay." " ...wrestled him to the ground..." " It was an intervention, it wasn't kidnapping." " There's a difference." " ...dragged him to a van." "How do you even know what happened, if I may ask?" "He fired off one call before you took his phone." "It was to me." "He should've called the police." "Hi." "You represent the boy?" "I do." "And if he's not released" "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to stir up some trouble." "Not for you, but for" "G.I..." "Hi." "HARRY:" "Look, the boy's only 16." "Don't you think his parents know what's best for him?" "I don't, actually, and neither does he, which is why he left in the first place." "So, are we returning him, or do I make the trouble?" "We're not returning him." "(sighs)" "River City." "Ciao." "(elevator bell dings)" "♪ ♪" "At least I'm on solid legal grounds, right?" "As far as the intervention's concerned, yes." "But, I mean, how violent did it go down?" "Tackled him, wrestled..." "it was kind of like dating." "So, no aversion therapy?" "You didn't waterboard him?" "No." "Just a shrink to talk him into going back to school." "Just a talk, that's all." "I had no idea that you were such a fan of talk, Ollie." " What do you mean?" " Are we ever gonna discuss what's going on between you and I?" "Well... sure." "You start." "We slept together after the gala." "Are we a thing, or was that just a one-off?" "Well, I... just thought we would kind of... take it slow... see where it goes." "Oh." "MAN:" "Before I do anything tonight," "I'd just like to say a few things." "(gasps)" " Are you okay?" " Just have a seat." " Can we get some water or something?" "WOMAN:" " This whole night" " has been like a bad dream." " Oh, God." "(broadcast stops)" "(faint whirring in distance)" "(beeping)" "(gunshot)" "(mechanical whirring)" "(gasps)" "(whirring stops)" "(urgent knocking)" "(indistinct radio transmission)" "Did you see that thing in the sky?" "It's permitted." "I'll ask you again, did you see that thing in the sky?" "Ma'am, I think you just shot down our drone." "(sirens wailing)" " You took it down?" " One shot." "Just a few questions, if you don't mind." "Starting with what the hell is the Cincinnati Police Department doing with a drone?" "Ms. Korn?" "Captain Pearson," "CPD." "Uh, listen, uh... this is a little embarrassing." "You think?" "He's fine, he's my lawyer on this." " Tommy Jefferson." " Well, you don't need a lawyer, ma'am;" "You're not in trouble." "You are." "What are you spying on me for?" "Well, we weren't." "We were spying on your neighbor." "My neighbor?" "The whacko next door?" "She's a schoolteacher." "And, uh, we suspect, a sex offender." "ADAM:" "Drone?" " Really?" " Well, cops are evidently using them now." "I mean, talk about 1984." "I mean, it was hovering in my trees..." "you should've seen it." "Did you find out anything?" "Only that she was brought in for questioning." "Probation says she has no record." " What's going on downstairs?" " I'm dealing" " with it." " Yeah." "Not at all well." "And where the hell have you two been?" " It's 9:15." " Uh-huh." "I got calls from reporters about your abduction." "Seems your little Phoebe friend has" " already begun to make trouble." " Yeah." "She filed a motion for his release..." "listen," "I'm headed back to court right now." "If you'd like to join," " I could use the help." " You don't get it." "Cassie, if you're free, maybe you'd like to give Ollie a hand." "What's that supposed to mean?" "ADAM:" "Lisa, I got a meeting up here shortly with the staff from downstairs... you think you could mind the store for a bit?" "I..." "I'll clear it with Tommy." "I'd be happy to." "(elevator bell dings)" "May I speak to you?" "MARGARET:" "I am not a sex offender." "I am not." "Margaret, what's going on?" "I teach third grade." "I had some medical issues with my family, which" "I had to take a second job to cover the expenses." "There's this, uh, internet site called..." "Lovin' Large." "It's one of those specialty sites." "They pay $500 to full-bodied women who put themselves on video... naked." "(clears throat)" "Oh, boy." "I made a few audition pieces, but I never submitted them." "I decided not to." "Well, if you never submitted them, did you tell anybody?" "No." "I did make some inquiries into the site before I..." "You know, the thing is, my computer was hacked not long ago." "And I had to change some passwords and stuff." "Maybe whoever hacked my computer called the police, or maybe it was the police who did the hacking." "What'd you do in these audition pieces?" "I just, uh... danced." "In a sexual way." "(clears his throat)" "HARRY:" "So that's why the police were spying on you?" "It must be." "Anyway, it's, uh... it's all out now." "I've been fired by the school." "They think I'm some kind of porn..." "Yeah." "I was wondering..." "Harry, I realize you don't know me." "And I'm not a depraved person." "I was wondering if, um, you might help me." "The boy is locked up in a basement?" "OLIVER:" "At the moment, no." "Both parties have agreed to let him out pending the decision of this hearing." "This is all because Scott doesn't want to go to college." "It's because he dropped out of high school at age 16." "It's because he ran away from home." "When we grabbed him, he was living with no guardian." "My clients, his parents, did what any parents would do, which would be to get their son back with the ultimate intent of getting him reenrolled in school." "It's what parents do... anything they can to properly safeguard the welfare of their minor child." "Here's the thing, Judge." "Scott Denchy doesn't abuse drugs, he has no criminal record." "The place he ran away to is a decent apartment in a safe neighborhood which he rents with money he makes at a full-time job, a job he quite loves, with a small start-up." "He was quite happy to live at home, loves his parents, but they forced him to go to school, they constantly undermine his employment." "He's a kid." "Yes, you win that point." "He is 16, he's a minor, he's underage, he's not 18..." " He has no right to emancipation under Ohio law." " Right." "Look, let's just cut through it." "He dropped out of school, ran away, and the concerned parents want to get him back home." "I mean, I..." "You know, Judge, I'm not wild about the way you made that sound." "Will you at least hear from my client before he's returned to serve out the remainder of his sentence?" "OLIVER:" "The court has no jurisdiction to interfere in the home, absent the allegation of abuse..." "Okay, fine, we'll allege it then." "Abuse." "Abuse." "Hmm?" "All right, I'll hear from the boy at 2:00." "Thank you." "ADAM:" "Okay." "Let's start with the dress code." "A lot of salespeople are subjected to this." "Adam, she inspects us." "She makes us stand in front of her like West Point cadets." "Okay." "This is going to sound really bad, but..." "Go ahead, it's why we're here." "You come from a culture where employees are not valued." "This isn't China." "Are you sure it's my culture, and not yours?" "American workers don't want to work." "You want the paycheck." "You want the health care." "You're first in line for any perks." "But when it comes to doing the actual job..." "You see?" "You see?" " Hmm..." " Look... this isn't working out." "I'm afraid I must terminate your employment." "I see no other way." "I wish you all the best." "She fired all of 'em?" "Harry, she could be in the right." "Oh, balls!" "Congratulations, Adam." "You hired your old flame back." "You know, she torpedoed my shoe store, but hey, you're getting laid!" "I'm not getting laid!" "What the hell is wrong with you?" "!" "(elevator bell dings)" "HARRY:" "First, the good news... the police aren't charging you with anything." "What they saw on their spy-cam... it evidently established you not so much as a sex offender as an adult entertainer." "Oh, my God." "The school doesn't want any of their third-grade teachers moonlighting in anything porn-related." "They're not going to hire you back." "At all?" "I'm afraid not." "What I did... it was stupid, but it wasn't illegal." "I realize that." "And I did it in the privacy of my own home." "I know that, too." "I never even sent the videos out." "But you made it, which, for the school, was enough." " Can I sue?" " Well, your claim would have to be against the police for invasion of privacy." "Could you sue to force the school to take you back?" "That'd be tough." "What will I do?" "Teaching is my whole life." "Unfortunately to the school, it wasn't quite all of it." "This isn't fair." "No, it isn't." "About as unfair as it gets." "Margaret, you understand schools better than I do." "You can appreciate" " the politics..." " I want to sue." "WOMAN:" "Ugh!" "Breaks my heart." "This is such a beautiful shoe." "I know." "I have wide feet myself, so I know the feeling." "May I make a suggestion?" "Anything, if it'll get my foot into this shoe." "You can't wear hose, that's the negative, but, um, give me your foot for a second, I'll show you." "I use this salve." "It's non-greasy, but it's just enough of a lubricant." "Give me your foot for a second." "CHUNHUA:" "I really don't." "You can't just fire people en masse." "I'm interviewing all afternoon." "I promise we'll be re-staffed by tomorrow." "It isn't just that, Chunhua." "Managing staff is more than just..." "Human relations do count." "I am always respectful." "I think if I weren't Chinese..." "You heard what Debbie said." "It was bigotry, Adam." "As was your slight of the American worker." "What is it that I'm doing wrong?" "I am courteous," "I do not make them work overtime, I do not bully." "I'm simply exacting." "Life was a party here with Jenna." "Now we're a profit center." "All they care about is whether I go to Harvard or Yale." "Course tutors, SAT coaches, college-AP counselors." "They try to steer me towards these internships, which they think is going to impress these big Ivy League schools." "I'm telling you, they are out of control." "Come on, Scott, you just described most of the parents in the country." "Okay, maybe I did." "Perhaps those parents have kids who want to go to Harvard or Yale." "I don't." "Where do you want to go?" "To work." "At my job." "At a place called IDEA EGG." "I want to think, I want to create now." "I don't want to waste my time in SAT prep classes or essay workshops." "And I don't want to go to college to read Homer in between keg parties." "College has nothing to offer me." "Scott, you're a kid." "Do you really think you can be the arbiter of what's best for you?" "Let me tell you something." "In the high-tech world, 16 is the new 30." "I love my parents." "I do." "But they're blocking my way." "Scott, you ever think you might want to switch careers someday?" "You have any idea how difficult it is to find a job without a college degree?" "Do you know how hard it is to find a job with one?" "I do." "And the fact that so many kids that are graduating universities still can't find work should tell you how tough the marketplace is." "No, it tells me how devalued a college education is becoming, in part because it's artificial." "Look, you want to be a doctor, you want to be a lawyer... you want to speak Latin to your grandkids, go to college." "But for what I want to do, it isn't necessary." "I don't need it, and I don't want it." "And I shouldn't have it jammed down my throat." "My opinion, this can't be won." "I didn't ask for your opinion." "Just tell me what you found." "Basically, the police got a tip that she was a sexual predator." "They didn't have enough probable cause to get a search warrant, so they dispatched their new toy." "The drone." "Yeah, it's called a MAV... a Micro Air Vehicle... very new." "More and more departments are deploying them." "The military uses them to scan dangerous areas before they send in their troops, and now the police want to use them in the same way." " Or to spy on people." " Or that." "It's a flat-out violation of the Fourth Amendment..." "Warrantless Search 101." "The problem is, who do we sue?" "I mean, the police?" "That's not gonna get her job back." "We'd get damages." "Not much, we wouldn't." "When you got a third-grade teacher who's potentially a sex offender, people would rather err on the side of invading privacy." "I'm not big on fat, naked sex tapes, but this is wrong." "Well, let's at least file against the school, see if we can leverage her job back, and settle this somehow." "ADAM:" "Why aren't you in the store?" "She dismissed me." " Excuse me?" " Your little friend... she fired me." "She was rubbing the customers' feet in an inappropriate manner." "They didn't complain." "It's not appropriate." "Chunhua, listen." "How 'bout we hire the girls back, and we start fresh." "Can we do that?" "Hire them back?" "I really think we can work this out." "I do." "Would I still be in charge?" "Yes." "You are the shoe store administrator." "That doesn't change." "So I'm still running it now?" "Of course." "Fine." "The girls stay fired." "I'm replacing them." "WOMAN:" "Push us around!" "What do we do?" "Stand our ground!" "Rules aren't fair!" "Boss doesn't care!" "What do they do?" "Push us around!" "What do we do?" "Stand our ground!" "Rules aren't fair!" "Boss doesn't care!" "I don't like crossing picket lines to come into my own place of business." "We commit zero unfair trade practices." "My father taught me the rules precisely." "(chanting continues) All right." "I got to go to court this morning." "When I get back, I want to see you in my office." "WOMEN:" "What do we do?" "Stand our ground!" "This is his junior year." "It's critical." "Of all the times for him to rebel and not take school seriously..." "OLLIE:" "But you've been listening;" "Your son doesn't like school." "Well, what kid does?" "And, look, the idea that we've created an abusive environment by insisting he get a proper education..." "Well, I think your son would maintain that what he's interested in in life doesn't require a higher education." ""What he's interested in in life"?" "He's 16 years old." "Right now, he's into girls." "He likes hanging out with his friends." "He likes being able to sleep in" " in the morning." " Does Scott sleep in in the morning?" "Well, he hasn't been living at home, so I wouldn't exactly know." "He's at his job at dawn on time." "He doesn't spend his time hanging out with friends or chasing girls." "He makes $72,000 a year at a steady job doing something he quite loves, and learning, by the way." "Do you know what he does for a living?" "Tell me." "He invents some sort of social app that can be used on Twitter." "He's gonna drop out of school for that?" "Really?" " Like Mark Zuckerberg?" " Mark Zuckerberg, if you ask me, is part of the problem." "Because for every Facebook, there are hundreds, if not thousands of failed start-ups, most of them with broken, pie-eyed inventors who have no formal education to fall back on." "It is very dangerous for us to be sending the message to our kids that they can all be" "Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg." "I'm told you were shocked when Scott decided to quit school." ""Shocked" isn't the word." "PHOEBE:" "Because he always seemed like such a mature kid, right?" "Thoughtful, organized, clear-headed." "You've always described him that way, haven't you, Mrs. Denchy?" "Well, he hasn't been clear-headed with this." "I'm told fear can cloud judgment sometimes." "Does he strike you as afraid?" "Afraid?" "No." "Are you?" "Are you afraid, Mrs. Denchy?" "I mean, the idea of a kid leaving high school would terrify most parents." "Are you terrified just a bit?" "Yes, I am." "Yeah." "It's a different world now, isn't it?" "As different as it may be, Ms. Blake, a boy still has his best chance in life by going to college, and you don't get there by dropping out of high school to invent Twitter apps." "It's certainly normal for a loving parent to have dreams for her child." "What parent wouldn't?" "The question would be:" "Do his dreams count?" "Ms. Blake, maybe one day, you'll have a family." "Come talk to me when your son says he wants to drop out of high school." "You want me to order the school to hire her back?" "That's exactly what I want, Your Honor." "The school's action was based on a profound and illegal invasion of privacy." "It violates public policy... not to mention good conscience... to allow it to stand." "The school did not invade her privacy." "The police did." "Then your issue is with the police." "No, it's with you, because you represent the school that fired her." "How did the police even tumble to this rumor about your client?" "That we're still trying to figure out, Judge." "It's possible her computer was hacked or this Web site was being monitored." "My client did make inquiries to it online, but the point is that the police learned of the existence of these videos as a result of using this drone." "I mean, the police used this thing to look into her upstairs bedroom window." "While she was putting herself on video?" "Evidently." "These videos, on a depravity scale of one to ten..." "You don't want to see them, Judge." "What he means is you shouldn't see them because it's a further violation of my client's right..." "Counsel, she's a third-grade teacher." "If she's been intimate with barnyard animals... (gasps) She has not." " Have you?" " No!" "All these videos entail is a lot of suggestive... movement." " Have you seen them?" " No." "And neither has the principal of the school, frankly, but... but come on... she made sex tapes." "That's enough." "She teaches kids." "Quite well, by the way." "I mean, her teaching record is exemplary." "She's been beyond reproach for 15 years." "Until now." "It's reproach time." "Okay." "I think I need to see these videos." "I need to have some idea about what we're talking about." "(sighs)" "Now, what the hell's going on down there?" "Well, clearly, I'm unpopular." "That much is obvious." "But I really don't think I've been out of bounds." "I asked the sales girls to put their grievances in writing, which they did." "Tommy reviewed them." "I read them myself." "You haven't committed any unfair labor practices, which is a relief." "And looking at our gross revenues, clearly, you're doing a lot right down there." "But... you've failed miserably at managing human resources." "Start talking." "I really don't want to point fingers." "Chunhua, your job is on the line." "Start talking." "Jenna let them take extended lunches." "I don't." "Jenna let them leave early." "I don't." "Jenna gave them employee discounts." "I don't." "Jenna gave them automatic bonuses." "Mine are merit-based." "Jenna was more interested in being their friend." "My role is primarily boss." "They don't like having a boss." "So you lay all this on Jenna." "Of course not." "I obviously need to work on my people skills." "Something else?" "There's another problem at play here." "I can tell." "Is it me?" "Say it." "It isn't you." " Then who?" " Adam." "Adam." "I am beyond grateful to him." "Don't get me wrong." "He gave me this job, which..." "not everybody wanted me to have." "But?" "He enjoys flirting with the girls, being buddies with them." "They feel they can run to him behind my back, which they often do, and perhaps did here." "Adam is a wonderful person." "I will always be indebted to him." "But he's soft." "He's especially soft with pretty women." "It's a problem." " Are you kidding me?" " You give these girls a false sense of entitlement." "Of all the people to turn on!" "Adam, the girls feel they have tenure because you'll protect them." "It's counterproductive." "So you just went running to Harry behind my back." "No, Harry summoned me to her office, and then pushed me for a full explanation." "Well, in the future, if you have a problem with me," "I would appreciate you taking it up with me." "That's fair." "But I didn't realize the severity of the problem until the girls went on strike." "She's out of her mind." "Is she?" "Could you give us a second, please?" "I think we should just let her go." "On what grounds?" ""On what grounds?"" "Adam, this gets a little complicated since you were intimate with her." "I told you it would be a mistake to hire her, but you didn't want to listen." " Now..." " I'm hearing it now." "I suggest the two of you just work this out and you fix the problem downstairs, and you do it fast." "Otherwise, it could become a Waterloo." "You don't want it to be yours." "(sighs)" "Your Honor, there's a reason we don't consider 16-year-olds adults." "It's because... they're not." "In fact, a 16-year-old boy is at his most wild, impulsive, reckless, risk-taking peak... when he is most in need of parenting." "When it comes to his future, his junior year in high school is vital." "Yes, there are seemingly more exotic vocations out there, but the fact remains a college education is still the best way to ensure sustained career success." "And for Scott to take a flyer now, in the middle of his junior year, would be catastrophic." "That's why we've taken such extreme measures." "Scott Denchy belongs at home... in school, with his family." "Living alone at age 16." "Come on." "There's a company near San Francisco... started by a Stanford grad, by the way... that pays kids not to go to college." "They go after the same kids that Harvard and Princeton want, and they want them now." "Why?" "Because the human mind is at its innovative peak between the ages 16 and 25." "For kids like Scott, the time is now." "We have scads of schools spewing out college graduates in droves." "How many of us even remember what we learned in college?" "Carpe diem." "That's one Latin phrase" "I remember." ""Seize the day."" "And Scott Denchy is trying to seize his." "Now, if we could turn for a second from Scott's future to the future of this country..." "Is he saving the country now, as well?" "Who knows?" "He might." "One thing we know for certain..." "college ain't getting it done." "We're turning out a nation of test takers and worker bees." "College does a lousy job of breeding visionaries." "Missing in action are the big ideas, the big thinkers." "I mean, as a result, innovation in the United States has stagnated." "It's why we're falling behind the rest of the world." "We need kids who embrace the radical, who think out of the box, and we need them when their imaginations are firing on all cylinders, which sometimes, yes, can be 16, 17," "18 years old." "(sighs)" "Scott Denchy is ready to get started." "He's fired up, and he wants to change the world, your kids' future, mine." "Why don't we let him try?" "A schoolteacher doing sex dances, as caught on video by a drone." "I'm getting a lot of media requests to be in the room." "I really have no basis to keep them out." "Now, I will hear from you, Counsel, if you wish to present a summation." "But I've seen these videos, and as legal as the conduct in question may be, as private as they should have remained," "I'm inclined to err on the side of the children." "Now, my suggestion is we just let this go away now and not compound your client's embarrassment in a more public arena." "MARGARET:" "This just seems so unfair." "I didn't give him an answer." "It's your call, Margaret." "I could go in and thump my chest if you want, but... his mind seemed pretty made up." "With media in the room, it just becomes a bigger story." "(sighs)" "I was just trying to make a little extra money, you know?" "I never meant..." "I know." "(sighs)" "The government spied into my bedroom." "I want you to fight." "Then that's what I'll do." "And Harry... whatever happens, thank you." "Not just for representing me but for not judging me." "The looks I get from everybody now." "(sighs)" "Thank you." "Time to go thump my chest." "All rise." "Okay." "Mr. White, I think I know where you're coming from." "You have anything you want to add?" "Only this, Judge." "The petitioner's outrage aside, the expectation of privacy in this country is all but dead." "We have cameras on street corners, in parking lots, in stores, elevators." "Google Earth basically has the world under surveillance, and we have over 100 million people walking around with smartphone videocams." "Life is rapidly becoming one big YouTube moment." "In fact, the drone caught her taping a YouTube moment of sorts." "She never sent any videos out." "WHITE:" "Look, ever since we began the War on Terror, people have come to expect being snooped on." "The government has been doing so for years with drones, wiretaps." "They intercept e-mails, monitor Facebook." "Our garbage is inspected, we are X-rayed at the airport, and it has all become almost routine, and certainly, if you're going to put something on video or online, even in e-mail form, chances are, it's going to come out." "Ask Scarlett Johansson." "BUCKLAND:" "Yeah," "Scarlett won't return my calls." "(gallery chuckling) Judge, it's like you say." "Given that this woman teaches our young schoolchildren, we have to err on the side of our kids' safety." "It's that simple." "Well, Judge, you might not care to hear what I have to say, but I sure as hell hope you were listening to him." ""The Fourth Amendment"" ""doesn't matter."" ""People figure to be spied on."" ""Our expectation of privacy is all but dead."" "Wow." "Perhaps he's right." "You know, since this story broke," "I've seen or heard very little outrage." "Nobody seems too concerned about a drone having a look-see on a potential sex perv." "Maybe people don't give a crap about the Bill of Rights." "Clearly, the police don't." "That's the very reason a judge needs to." "The government used technology to go right into a person's bedroom and spy on that person's private life." "That's worst-case scenario, Your Honor." "That's George Orwell's nightmare..." "Big Brother coming into our bedrooms." "I mean, if you don't care now, then when?" "No one's defending the government's conduct here, least of all me." "But you're allowing this woman to be victimized by it." "Yes, and if your daughter or granddaughter were in this woman's third-grade classroom..." "Oh, that's right." "Let's protect our kids." "Yeah, that's, that's the big trump card, isn't it?" "Let's err on the side of our children's safety." "Well, if so, then let's go whole hog." "We have over 700,000 registered sex offenders in this country... 700,000." "Why not spy on all of 'em?" "And, hell, while we're at it, we've got hundreds of thousands of drug dealers selling drugs to our kids in school." "You know, let's turn the drones loose on 'em." "You know, come to think of it, if safety is the issue, let's just go into everybody's homes." "You know, we'll all be more safe." "If you ask me, our Founding Fathers cherished a few things more than safety, one being liberty... our right to be free in our homes from unwarranted government searches." "The kind of freedom that separates us from Syria and China or the Soviet Union of old, perhaps Arizona." "The kind of freedom that's associated with America." "And the idea that you, sitting up there in that chair, wearing that robe... would declare the Fourth Amendment dead?" "That's obscene." "That's just obscene." "Mr. White, have there ever been any complaints filed against the petitioner by students, former students, or parents?" "As far as I'm aware, no, Judge." "She's been a fairly decorated teacher until now." "Ms. Korn," "I have no authority to order the school to hire your client back, but... my anticipatory judgment is that the discharge was unlawful, against public policy, and I strongly suggest," "Mr. White, that your client return this teacher to her class." "We're adjourned." "(gallery murmurs)" "MARGARET:" "What?" "Did I win?" "Close enough." "This we can work with." "All right, I won't tell you two how to parent, but safe to say you're not doing a great job at the moment." "And you, you certainly seem smart enough to know you'd be better off at home." "You know, if I was your dad, Scott," "I'd try to get you to at least finish high school first, then go take this job." "Failing that, uh, maybe go to night school." "Sure as hell make it a hell of a lot easier to go to college down the road, son, should you decide to do that." "But I'm not your dad, so..." "You obviously have a very smart kid here." "And you, you obviously got two parents committed to doing what's best for you." "So this is what I'm gonna do." "I'm gonna kick this back to you very reasonable folks for a week to work it out." "If you can't then I will toss it to Child Services." "You understand?" "Better keep an open mind about college, son." "And you folks keep an open mind about..." "Twitter." "All right?" "Thank you." "I think we'll just head home." "And maybe we can begin talking?" "I just want to be able to live my life, Dad." "Let's agree to work on your life together." "Honey, we've always been a family." "Let's go home." "We'll be in touch." "Thanks." "(chuckles) Yeah, you got it." "So, you work on him a little, I'll work on them." "Sounds good." "You got my number?" "(Chuckles)" "Yeah, I got your number." "(whirring)" "(laughs)" "Very funny, Tommy." "You made me proud, Harry." "Bill of Rights." "America." "You were unbelievable." "Thanks." "(splutters)" "Harry, I'm headed home." "Sorry for all the, uh, tumult, but, uh, the store's re-staffed, everything's up and running." "I think we're back in business." "Okay." "Night, Adam." "Night." "Damn it." "Mind of its own." "Sorry." "Cut it out!" "You need a mind of your own." "Bug." "Schlock." " Gnat!" " Roach!" "(laughs)" "(chuckles)" "It's just our way." "(chuckles)" "Listen, Harry, I know my opinion doesn't count for much around here." "You'd be surprised." "But you are some lady." "You fought for America today." "Some lady, indeed." "NANCY GRACE:" "...no parent in their right mind would want this porn princess in the classroom with seven-year-old children!" "Do we want her molding the minds of our children?" "I don't think so." "But Harry Korn disagrees." "What kind of judge puts a sex freak in charge of a class of third-graders?" "What are they drinking in Ohio?" "We have a duty, people, to protect our children from Margaret Albertson." "Cincinnati and Cincinnati public schools... (clicks tongue)" "I'm watching you." "(broadcast stops)"
