Pennsylvania man hurls vile, racist insults at cameraman and protesters, promptly gets swift justice

94. I'm not much for anonymously claimed expertise on the internet either

Lots of people claim all sorts of experience anonymously on the internet, which doesn't really impress me all that much. YMMV. Although not in Pennsylvania, I am heavily involved in the application of employment law for a large company. Your anecdote doesn't lead me to believe you have any real experience if you think all an employer has to do in order to prove preponderance of evidence is to state an employee broke their rules, especially since you still seem to believe the burden of proof is on the employee.

You did a lot of typing to present a case that is most certainly not like this one. What an employee does with an employer owned car most certainly is within the scope of employer interests and certainly does have a nexus to his employment. If an employee is required to drive a company car as a condition of employment, their driving record most certainly has a nexus to their employment so it probably wouldn't have even mattered if the employee was in a company owned car. In the case you presented there's actually two connections to the employer's interests.

The festering asshole in question was both off duty and had exactly zero nexus to his employment which is not even within a cab ride of the example you presented. I suggest you go back to your google and look for a case that is actually relevant to this one. I don't think you'll find one, but if you can I might be more convinced.
