It's not illegal to film in public but the guy has taken it way too far with the porn stuff and is testing limits. He is maybe only a step or two away from actual sexual assault. If you see him, quietly disengage and report it to the station master or Metro Police.

It's a public park. Calling it a "community" merely institutionalizes homelessness. This is not what I expect in a wealthy, civilized society. It doesn't matter if it's "hypothermia season" because they are already outside, and maybe this will cause some of them to come inside to one of the many empty beds in the shelters.

It's not. City trash collectors grab the bags one by one and toss them into the truck. That causes the poop bags to fall to the bottom, uncollected. I can't blame the collectors because the bins are too heavy to pick up as a unit, and there is no equipment to grab the whole thing and turn it upside down.

It's a city bin but it's assigned to a household, so it's not "private."

If someone dumps their dogshit in the bin, it falls to the bottom and it is not collected by the city. It then sits there until someone in the household goes in and fishes it out.

Yeah. No. Dog walkers are making their dogshit my problem. Fuck that all week long.

The end.

Unless the judgement was vacated on appeal, it's still on record. You (or the attorney) would have been notified about that. There's no real concept of "active", and collection action on it is no longer possible due to the fact that the SOL has expired.

Your friend learned the hard way how difficult it is to collect on court-ordered judgments. The plaintiff must be active in pursuing the judgment and cannot let it slide. That's why a lot of judgments are sold to debt collectors (typically for about 15-20%, depending on the defendant and nature of the debt).
