If you ask a cop to show you the radar gun cause you were speeding and they refuse, in the state of california, is this against the law?

a friend told me she was doing 65 and the cop was in front of her, had her pull over and said she was doing over 90.she asked to see the radar gun and he refused to show it.

I wanted to know what are the chances of you getting deployed to Iraq or other places in the Mid-East if you are in the Coast Guard? Because I heard about the DOG (deployable operations group) how does this work?

No rhetoric please. I really want to understand:
IF you are against abortion being legal... then why do you (most of you, a few are excluded here) NOT support enlarging the Welfare funding to make sure all these homeless and uneducated young people (who are often unwanted and end up as criminals) have a home and money to live on.
You wanted them born, so why can they not just do as they please and not work, or drift, of commit crimes. You wanted them to be born into a dysfunctional family system, frequently without one or both parents around, often in foster homes and orphanages, and ultimately in jails and prisons.
You have no problem paying extra money for more cops to protect you from them, and more prisons to hold them, and you're ready and willing to send ministers into the prison to save their souls.
So - WHY do you demand that they be here? WHY do you have so much concern for forcing them to be born, and then so little concern for them after they get here?

On April 19, 1995, why did two former U.S. Army soldiers by the names of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols planned a terrorist attack on the United States Federal Government complex of Alfred P. Murray in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma that killed at least 168 lives?

What was the story behind the Oklahoma City bombing why did they do it?
And what are your opinions on this video?

Heres the details. We've been married for almost two and a half years. We have a beautiful two week old son. Im nineteen and he is twenty-two. Grounds for divorce is adultry. He cheated on me, I got pissed and cheated on him. Immature and definetely the wrong decision, I know. So what are the chances for a granted divorce with a covenant marriage, even with a really good lawyer.

I want to be a cop, and I have a clean background except for one thing. Three years ago I made a poor choice and paid a dancer at a strip club for sex, and I have regreted it ever since. Will this come up on the polygraph, and will I be automatically disqualified?

My brother was in a very small car accident back in 2005, a lady cut in front of him as he was stopping at a red light. The cars did not have any scratches, and the two drivers were not injured by the cause of it, as my brother was coming to a very slow stop when the lady decided to get in front of him.

They did not call police, just exchanged names.

Fast forward to today, my brother recieved a subpena to go to court as the lady claims her car suffered 1,300 in damages/painted whole car, and she is claiming horrible neck pain etc. She is suing for $5k. And the court date is set for Feb of next year, and it's set for a court about 400 miles away from where the accident occured.

This is very bizarre, and obviously this lady is lying.

Since there was no police report, and it's two years later, what kind of rights does this lady have? Supposedly she has medical proof that she is injured. But this could be from anything really.

Any help or advice, I would appreciate it!

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – According to the New Hampshire State Republican Party and an Associated Press report, Republican presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul will be excluded from an upcoming forum of Republican candidates to be broadcast by Fox News on January 6, 2008.

“Given Ron Paul’s support in New Hampshire and his recent historic fundraising success, it is outrageous that Dr. Paul would be excluded,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign chairman Kent Snyder. “Dr. Paul has consistently polled higher in New Hampshire than some of the other candidates who have been invited.”

Snyder continued, “Paul supporters should know that we are continuing to make inquiries with Fox News as to why they have apparently excluded Dr. Paul from this event.”

PLEASE write Fox news
yourcomments@foxnews.com
Make sure you put your question in the subject line
"Why aren't you including Dr. Ron Paul in your Jan 6th Republican forum?"

It seems like it would be better for all states to vote on same day.

just to let you know, this did NOT happen to me
i'm taking a self defense class at school and we are put in these rape scenarios...and that made me have a lot of questions about what is considered rape

okay two circumstances, would they be considered rape and what would the average jail time be for the rapist?

1. a minor (say, 15) is walking home from school, a man jumps out, says that he has a knife and she needs to do whatever he tells her to, and begins to undress her and have sex with her...however, she is in shock and does not say no and does not resist the man from having sex with her because her body is in shock. (would the rapist only be charged with statutory rape or other charges as well?)

2. the same scenario except with somebody over 18

Poor people in America aren't really poor compared to the rest of the world. Most poor people in this country have a roof over their heads, a tv, a cell phone, etc.

Do they get paid ful before going to the court with you? If that's the case, why does he case about losing, he's got the money already. Or do lawyers get paid certain portion of the full amount before going to the court and winning or losing the case decides whatever he gets the rest of the money or not?

This isn't some kind of political statement, but a genuine question. I'm currently studying economics and I'd like to know if there's any underlying economic reason for the rich to get tax cuts, such as the recent Bush tax cuts. I mean, it makes sense to me that the rich should be taxed more, and the poor taxed less, but I'm sure it's more complicated than that.

How can people support abortion (killing the most innocent), and be against the death penalty (killing the most guilty)?
I'll never understand the way liberals think!
