Fair enough - in my state they are limited to parties involved and their counsel.
The public can still see the filing and result (when the divorce was granted), but the actual documents are restricted so as not to air all of one's dirty laundry unnecessarily.
There are public court records (criminal, civil), and there are non-public court records (e.g. sealed - juvenile, divorce, etc.)
As far as I can tell, all of this data is of the public nature.
While it may feel weird to type in someone's name and see their history with regard to legal filings... that is the society we live in: an open society.
Aggregating a number of disconnected data sources for search I think is absolutely a legitimate usage of the data.
This is amazing. Can you share any info on how you were able to compile so much info from different sources? In my limited experience of hunting for legal filings, it seemed like every court had its own system, with nothing standardized or programmatic.
> Also you mentioned little fact, mostly emotion, but i stated things like the Year of Tolerance, the religious temples being built, etc. but I’d hope others can also investigate on their own. We are so quick to paint countries as evil without understanding the full situation.
You are correct. Let me help rectify my transgression by providing a very consolidated list of things I can do in America that you can not do in the UAE:
1. Hold elections.
2. Form political parties.
3. Criticize my government and officials.
4. Have extra-martial or casual sex.
5. Consume alcohol.
6. Consume cannabis.
7. Be homosexual.
8. Kiss my partner in public.
9. Eat, drink, and smoke between sunrise and sunset during Ramadan.
10. Swear - both IRL and online.
Is that enough or do you need more concrete examples? The list is quite long.
> It's easy to think you have a lot of rights until you try to do something unpopular with them
Nonsense argument. Lacks details and specifics.
> I left the west for somewhere where I have a lot fewer rights on paper, but I feel so much freer now, no longer constantly worrying about what the mob thinks of everything I say.
That's where you fucked up: Caring about what [random] people think about you. Also I would love to know what country you feel more free in. For some reason I suspect this will not be answered.
> I won't defend the UAE, but the level of freedom you have in actual daily life is surprisingly disconnected from what's written in a constitution or what the government is doing.
More blah blah blah nonsense. Examples, give them. I have numerous freedoms I exercise daily (speech, worship, association, ownership of war weapons).
Sex is the peak of human connectivity and intimacy. It is literally the reason you are here today.
If you aren't good at sex or have bad sex, practice. That includes becoming physically fit to increase your stamina and strength during sex with your partner.
