Stolen U-Haul Found 2000 Miles from Home Due to a Hand-Painted License Plate, Police Say
Two people have been arrested after authorities say they were spotted driving a U-Haul truck with a fake license plate — but this wasn't your typical fake. According to the Alhambra Police Department (APD) in California, the department's officers noticed the plate was hand-painted to look like a legitimate Arizona plate. Authorities say the U-Haul truck was spotted around Garvey Avenue and Montezuma Avenue, about six miles east of downtown Los Angeles; police saw the fake license plate and stopped the suspects for questioning. During the investigation, the police say they determined that the truck had been reported stolen in Chicago, leading to the arrest of Andrew Menas and Nicole Wetzel; they were both booked into the APD's jail. The APD, apparently, couldn't help but have a little fun with the whole event when they posted about it on their Facebook page: 'Remember, if your masterpiece is on a stolen vehicle, it's definitely not going in an art gallery; it's going straight to evidence.' It's easy to laugh at an attempt to pass off an art project as legitimate vehicle registration, but think about it this way: it's about 2000 miles from Chicago to the place where the APD ultimately stopped the truck. If the fake plate was on the truck the entire way, that means the U-Haul covered two-thirds of the country and crossed at least seven states before any authorities noticed. Under California law, a person that is caught with an altered or forged license plate can be charged with a felony. If convicted, the sentence can include a $10,000 fine and up to 3 years in jail. The irony of it all is that if these suspects are convicted and sent to state prison, they may end up... working in the license plate factory.

Jewel-Osco pharmacy division argues National Labor Relations Act unconstitutional
Jewel-Osco's pharmacy division argued this month that the structure of the National Labor Relations Board, the body that enforces federal labor law in the U.S., is unconstitutional. The company joins a lengthy and growing list of employers including SpaceX, Amazon, Trader Joe's, the University of Southern California, the dating app Grindr and Oak Brook-based hot dog empire Portillo's that have made similar arguments, either during administrative proceedings overseen by the labor board itself or in federal lawsuits seeking to get the agency declared unconstitutional. Osco, which was acquired by Jewel in 1961, entered the fray after local labor board officials issued a complaint against it last month alleging it had refused to bargain in good faith with the union representing its pharmacists, Teamsters Local 727. The company responded to those allegations by arguing that the National Labor Relations Act, the law it is accused of violating, is unconstitutional. The NLRA, also known as the Wagner Act, was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935. It has governed the rights of American workers to form unions, bargain collectively and organize together without retaliation from their employers for the last 90 years. The National Labor Relations Board is the independent federal agency charged with enforcing the NLRA. In addition to arguing that the NLRA is unconstitutional, Osco denied specific allegations leveled against it, including that it had failed to provide the Teamsters with information related to various grievances the union had filed on behalf of its members. Jayna Brown, general counsel for Teamsters Local 727, described the company's constitutionality arguments as 'completely unmeritorious.' Osco's outside counsel, from the law firm Littler Mendelson, specifically argued that the NLRB's administrative law judges and its board members are either unconstitutionally appointed or unconstitutionally protected from firing, echoing arguments made by SpaceX in federal court. Early this year, President Donald Trump fired former NLRB board member Gwynne Wilcox in an unprecedented move that set up a legal test of the latter argument. Wilcox has since sued over her firing. Last month, the Supreme Court issued an order that bars Wilcox from returning to the board while her legal challenge is ongoing. The firing of Wilcox has left the labor board without a quorum, meaning it cannot issue rulings on cases appealed to it from lower levels of review at the NLRB. In its June filing, Osco also argued that because the board lacks a quorum, the agency's general counsel and its regional officials in Chicago also lack authority to enforce the law, such as by issuing a complaint against Osco. That argument echoes one made earlier this year by Whole Foods, which is owned by Amazon. The company's constitutional arguments are 'purely a tactic by management to skirt around their clear and undeniable legal obligations for their union-represented employees,' said Brown, the Teamsters' attorney. The local represents about 500 pharmacy workers in stores throughout Cook, DuPage, Lake and McHenry counties, Brown said. The pharmacists are working under a collective bargaining agreement that expires in 2028, she said. In a message sent to union members this month, the local's secretary-treasurer, John Coli, Jr., criticized what he described as the company's 'foolish choice to spend money on overpriced legal counsel instead of just doing … what is right by their hardworking employees.' Neither Jewel-Osco nor its parent company, Albertsons, responded to requests for comment. The first Jewel-Osco combination grocery-pharmacy stores opened in the 1960s. Osco's attorney has asked for the case against it to be dismissed in its entirety. A hearing in the case is set for early September.

Met Police bans pro-Palestinian demonstration in front of Parliament
June 23 (UPI) -- Britain's Met police banned a pro-Palestinian protest in front of the Houses of Parliament in central London scheduled to take place on Monday to "prevent serious public order," property damage and disruption to elected representatives. Met Commissioner Mark Rowley said in a statement Sunday that while he could not stop the demonstration going ahead, he was using powers under public order legislation to impose an exclusion zone preventing protestors from assembling in a roughly 0.5 square mile area around the Palace of Westminster and restrict the duration to between noon and 3 p.m. local time. The We Are All Palestine protest was being organized by Palestine Action but backed by around 35 other groups, including the Stop the War Coalition, Cage and Muslim Engagement and Development. Calling Palestine Action "an extremist criminal group" with members awaiting trial on serious charges, Rowley said he was frustrated that he lacked legal authority to ban the protest outright. "The right to protest is essential and we will always defend it, but actions in support of such a group go beyond what most would see as legitimate protest," he said. Rowley added that criminal charges faced by Palestine Action members, including allegedly attacking a police officer with a sledgehammer and causing millions of dollars of damage, represented extremism of a type that the vast majority of the public found abhorrent. Palestinian Action responded by moving the protest, telling supporters in a post on X early Monday that it would now go ahead in Trafalgar Square, which is just outside the northern edge of the exclusion zone. "The Metropolitan police are trying to deter support from Palestine Action by banning the protest from taking place at the Houses of Parliament. Don't let them win! Make sure everyone is aware of the location change to Trafalgar Square, London. Mobilize from 12 p.m." The move came as Home Secretary Yvette Cooper updated lawmakers on plans to proscribe Palestinian Action as a terrorist organization after members of the group claimed responsibility for damaging military aircraft Friday after breaking into an RAF base northwest of London. They also allegedly damaged the offices of an insurance company, which the group claimed provided services to Elbit Systems, an Israel-based military technology company and defense contractor. Activist Saeed Taji Farouky called the move to proscribe the group a ludicrous move that "rips apart the very basic concepts of British democracy and the rule of law." "It's something everyone should be terrified about," he told the BBC. Cooper said in a written statement to the House that she expected to bring a draft order amending the country's anti-terror legislation before Parliament next week. Proscribing Palestine Action would make membership or promotion of the group punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Palestinian Action, escalated from targeting arms producers to vandalizing the two Airbus refuelling tanker aircraft because Britain was, it claimed, deploying aircraft to its Akrotiri airbase on Cyprus from where it can "collect intelligence, refuel fighter jets and transport weapons to commit genocide in Gaza." The attack at RAF Brize Norton, the British military's main hub for strategic air transport and refuelling, including flights to RAF Akrotiri, came the same day a British man appeared in a closed court in Cyprus on charges of planning an "imminent terrorist attack" on the island and espionage. The suspect was arrested by Greek anti-terror officers on a tip-off from a foreign intelligence service claiming he'd had the RAF Akrotiri base under surveillance since April and had links with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He faces charges of terrorism, espionage, conspiracy to commit a felony and other related offences. RAF Akrotiri is the U.K. military's largest base for the Middle East region and a key waypoint en route to its giant Diego Garcia base in the Chagos Islands, 3,800 miles to the southeast in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
