Sidney, I'm reacting to what you and Sarah are saying in this AMA. She's clearly indicated that NAL requires much more strict evidence than a search warrant, but that this evidence requirement is being wholly ignored. Is that not a problem?

OK, let me take a step back. Since you say the NYPD are abusing this law, and the courts are allowing it, but none of it is "deliberate", do you think the problems are in how the law was written, EG that the law does not exclude residences from being targeted?

EDIT: you elsewhere stated that you think a rewrite of the law would be burdensome and unnecessary, and that the NYPD and the courts need "a firm understanding of due process and "clear and convincing" evidence. And perhaps the meaning of fairness."

I just want to know what you think will enforce the courts and PD to apply due process, fairness, and enforcing the appropriate evidence burden? A DoJ investigation? At what point does chronic unfair misapplication of due process, and ignorance of the law if not "deliberate", become grounds for firing someone?

Do you think chronic misapplication of a law such as this, ignoring the requirements for 1. "clear and convincing" evidence of ongoing activity and 2. posing an immediate threat to the community, could be grounds for impeachment of the judges involved?

hire a money manager or a talented CFO

The Double Fine Adventure Documentary covered this in a few episodes, but producers in the company such as Greg Rice already perform this role, and Justin Bailey as COO also did some financial management before he left to found Fig.

What can and should other countries do to help Afghanistan achieve stability and safety for its civilians?

Sorry, I must be misunderstanding the threshold for impeachment or the degree of foul play by the judges.

If Nuisance Abatement is supposed to require stricter more recent evidence than the probable cause of a search warrant, but is being incorrectly used by the police with judges accommodating that by deliberately ignoring the evidence requirements in the law, why is that not grounds for impeaching the judge?

EDIT: you reviewed 1,162 nuisance abatement cases. How many of them were irregular or overstepping? The impression I'd gotten from this story was that the majority of these cases were abuse of the law.
