I am 17 and joining the USCG. When I join, does that release me from parental custody or is it called emancipation? My dad said he would let me join. But if he changed his mind when I already joined is there anything he can do?

i'm a bit confused. 2 years ago, i was sued for eviction/non payment of rent but decided not to go to my court date to plead my side, so it was an automatic judgement for my landlord/property mgmt company and i had the time allowed by law to vacate the property. i have never paid them a penny and now it's on my credit report under mortgage accounts with the account number field XXXX and really looks like a credit card type entry...BUT i have nothing in my public records and i've searched the case database in the county where it was for my name, SS#, DL#, everything and nothing comes up under me.
Does anyone have a clue to why this is? And please don't lecture me on being sued and not paying them...I'm not making any excuses for the situation and I have made the changes in my life needed now to look at it and be ashamed of myself.

The person is blatantly taking a video of a person, that already stated did not want to be video taped (the person was a visitor for another person that lives in the home). The visitor was neither stealing or causing any problems to the person videotaping. The visitor was there to help a relative and give the relative (person that lived in the home with the video taper), a ride to safety. In other words, a person has the right to harass and mentally abuse another just because that person is in his home?

Is it legal to suspend a student from public school for something that didn't happen AT school?

this is my district's procedure: http://district279.org/who/polpro/policy514.cfm

It says that it is in affect "...at any time or any place..." directly in the policy, but is it legal for their jurisdiction to be that far?

Also, the incident at hand was partially created at school, however the act in itself wasn't bullying.
A student took a video of another student and put it on youtube. The student who was video'd found the video on youtube, and now the video-taker is suspended. Is this a fair move by the district?

This man is respondible for the deaths of 10 of thousands of Native Americans through The Trail of Tears, "relocating" them to an enviorment with no food or water and practically no resources. Not to mention there were camps that they were kept in that were riddled with disease and freezing tempertures. It makes me sick to see him representing America on the 20 dollar bill. Does anyone else feel this way?

The DREAM Act (S. 774)is an amnesty that extends to the millions of illegal aliens who entered the United States before the age of 16. The illegal alien who applies for this amnesty is immediately rewarded with "conditional" lawful per*manent resident (green card) status, which can be converted to a non-conditional green card in short order.

To qualify, the immigrant student or armed service member would have to meet certain requirements such as:

* Proof of having arrived in the United States at age 15 or younger;
* Proof of residence in the United States for a least five (5) consecutive years since their date of arrival.
* Having graduated from an American High School, or obtained a GED.
* "Good moral character," essentially defined as the absence of a significant criminal record (or any drug charges whatsoever).

Immigrants who meet the above requirements would be eligible to apply for a temporary six (6) year "conditional" residence permit.

Will the Act pass ???

I live at college, and my school conducts "life safety inspections" once per term. Apparently they have a rule (I couldn't find it looking through the student handbook) that allows two RA's to master key into any room to perform the inspection. My RA made use of this rule while I was just down the hall in a friend's room. I had no warning that this was going to happen, except for a sign over by the elevator, which I did not notice. I feel as though my rights have been violated. Do college's have some rule that makes their room's exempt from the fourth amendment? Is this an "unreasonable search?" Does it have to be an unreasonable search and SEIZURE?
