But if you work for a larger firm and aren't even practicing in the state the litigation is taking place in (as was the case with the Radio City mom), it probably isn't something which crosses your mind as you may not even know all the clients and cases your firm is involved in.

That said, MSG claims they sent out letters to the firms informing them of the blanket ban, so I do think at that point, even if they disagree with the policy, the onus is on the firms themselves to notify their employees that they are all banned from MSG properties.

​

>It seems like the lawyers should know better and are stealing the spotlight from the actual story about facial recognition being way more prevalent than most folks realize.

To be fair, the only reason this is a story is because attorneys are banned from MSG properties.

If the Rangers fan who sucker-punched that guy @ MSG complained about facial recognition tech. flagging/banning him from entry, nobody (outside of NYPost) would care.

Do you have to do that before going to a basketball game? Like yeah, there are checks for stocks and certain business transactions, due to conflict of interest being a thing. No one is ever going to use those every time they take out their credit card.

No this is absurd. MSG is a far reaching corporation across New York with lots of exposure. This is going to result in lot of legitimate lawsuits. Any owner who wasn't the petulant slob that Dolan has shown himself to be would take these lawsuits as nbd cost of doing business. It's just that there's a jaded former drunk running the Knicks with the emotional maturity of a child.

I was an attorney but that’s barely relevant. You’re second question is even less relevant. Good job brining nothing of value back to the conversation.

They got so mad they read through my account and found I like Pokémon 😂😂 Then they thought it was some sort of dunk to point out I like the most popular media franchise of all time. I can’t imagine the sort of insecurities that led to that decision but here we are. What you believe about my knowledge of the rules of professional conduct or really anything is quite frankly not very relevant because you’ve shown yourself in this conversation to be one of the dumbest people on the internet and that’s saying something.
