I read that if you pay $5 over your ticket, you will get a refund from the court but if you dont cash it you wont get any points on your license. Is this true?

After all, the polls clearly indicate that it's the Republicans in Congress that the people disapprove of, not so much the Democrats.

If you look at this poll summary, you'll see that the Democrats are a little below even money.

If your views are indeed superior, why is it that the only thing we hear from conservative commentators are lies and personal degradation of the Democratic candidates?

Its one thing when Ann Coulter spits out her vitriol, everyone knows she's a clown who is only in it for the money, and liberals have Michael Moore to account for... but if Obama is only a lightweight with no experience, why the need to try and lie about his religious background and make fun of his name?

If Hillary is a liberal intrusive government 60s radical, why make fun of the way she talks or lie about her associates from Little Rock?

If John Edwards is a lightweight trial lawyer who's playing the populism card, why attack him for a hair cut or his house?

For people who claim to be all about the ideas, why do conservatives only seem to drag out personal attacks, if facts and policy are on their side?

My father won custody over my brother about 10 years ago. He is now 16 years old. My mother recently filed a restraining order against my father, as well as a restraining order for my brother against my father. Noone has any problems with my dad except my mother, my brother doesnt want the restaining order. So my question would be, how long does custody last, can she file a restraining order for my brother if she doesnt have custody of him, and what can be done to become a legal guardian of him? Thanks!

I have seen many police officers drove 5-10mph over the speed limit while they are not chasing anyone ( some of them were even talking and laughing (sometimes eating too lol) to a friend or co worker next to them while driving, so obviously they are not on duty). Ive seen on freeway mostly. But yesterday I also saw two officers drove by about 50 mph on 40mph street, and guess what? they ended up at starbucks..lol.. Im just wondering if they are actually allowed to drive faster tho they are not on duty, or are they simply just being a jerk since nobody will pull them over?

I'm applying for a Security Job and I need your help.

At the building where you are performing security duties, a party is being held and alcohol is being served. While on your assigned parking lot patrol, you notice a man who appears to be intoxicated stumbling to his car. Which would be the best course of action?

A. Confront him and confiscate his keys explaining that he is in no condition to drive safely.
(Wouldn't that be too rude and out of my jurisdiction? However, Security Officers are to ensure safety)

B. In order to provide the best customer service, offer to drive the man home if he pays for gas.
(I would not be allowed to leave my location on the premises)

C. Ignore him because once he drives off the premises it’s not your problem and you are not liable.
(That's just wrong)

D. Write down his license plate number and car description and notify the police that there might be a drunk driver leaving the premises.
(Put in the Police's hands--Putting his life in danger)

I am writing a paper for school on the "Do not call list". I have looked everywhere and am having a hard time finding my answer. Say I own a furniture business and just opened my doors. Can I call people to let them know about my business to let them know we just opened up in your town and we are giving away free pillows this weekend. I know it doesn’t fall under the “Black and White” exemptions where it is layout clearly. But some items I read on the government website state, the do not call list prevents people calling to try and sell you a good or service and some say no commercial calls. So under the selling an item, I would see I would be ok to call since, technically I am not selling an item, I just making name recognition by a free item. On the second item where it says no commercial calls, it would seem I couldn’t call.

Just wanted to see if anyone has a straight answer because I am lost.

Thanks in advance.

I know a 16 year old kid in my neighborhood that is growing and selling weed. I cant decide if I should call the cops or not. I only want what is best for the kid, and I dont want him to mess up his life.

If I DONT call the cops, he is going to get into the wrong crowd. And if I DO, he is going to get in big trouble which might affect his future too.

What would you do?

We were rear ended by a drunk driver. I was driving, we stopped at a stop light and this 1970 Ford pickup (that had almost clipped us coming out of the parking about 1/4 a mile before the light). He screached out of the parking lot and didn't even seem to slow down and slammed into the back of us. He had to be going pretty fast to do the damage that he did to our car and especially his tuck (those old trucks are like tanks!). The passenger owned the truck and the driver was supposively his designated driver, even tho he had been drinking too. Well the driver hopped out of the car and took off on foot!(he had warrants) The passenger (owner of the the truck) stayed there and didn't even get arrested!

I'm not sure if we should get a lawyer... we haven't been offered a settlement yet, but what would you suggest? My arm is still hurting and Chris' back is hurting too. We're going to a chiropractor this week... I've just never had this happen and need to know what we should do.
