Law & Ethics - November 2006

My uncle gave me a laptop like two months ago, he bought it in Walmart [layaway] and today a police from my campus came to look for me in the middle of one of my classes and told me that there was a laptop, that was stolen, being used [for internet] under my name. He had a report with my laptop's serial number on it and had to take it away because Walmart was looking for it. My uncle is looking for the receipt. How come that can happen? Like, he bought it from there, why are they saying it was stolen??!!

I was a shootergirl, server, bartender then manager at various places in my city in canada.
This regular wierdo made a simple webpage about me with pictures he took of me at the bar and wrote "my story" (not accurately) and it makes want to kick his ***, i didnt even know he was doing it and want it gone!


"For the past four years, I have been watching Melissa work her way from shooter girl to nightclub manager. Sadly, conservative London never gave her a chance to grow beyond her abusive background and caused her more pain. Last Sunday she pack up her bags in search of a job in Toronto. Keep your eyes on this page as I write her story as far as I know."

like WTF, is he allowed to do that?
im gonna write an email to him, what should i say?

My parents live in the country in Oklahoma and have so since before I was born. There has been a bunch of people move behind them , but not on their property and they shoot their guns all of the time. My dad has PTSD and it has made my mom very tense because they are SOOOO loud. It even scares me. They tried talking to the neighbors, but they told them that is why they moved to the country was to shoot. They called the sheriff, but there is no laws for it.

My parents are going crazy and they shouldn't have to leave this place I've known as home all my life just because people like to shoot their guns 24/7... and the thing is, there is a rifle range around 4 miles away they could go to, but they don't care about anyone else. Please help!!

The police in Hertfordshire are said to under disciplinary rules after distributing a video of a black man decapitating himself by jumping from a tall building and separating his head from his body in the process. As a black person my view is this video is not racist in any way. Nobody should be running from the police because it can cause death either by being shot by the police or crashing into moving objects or as in this case self mutilation. It matters not what colour the runner is. The message is no running from police.

Here's the scenario...Moved into a quiet suburban neighborhood about 3 and a half years ago. What few neighbors I have on this dead end street are all older, quiet people, and we all pretty much keep to ourselves. Last summer we first heard one neighbor, who is a middle aged man who lives with his very elderly mother, screaming VERY loudly. We were not eavesdropping, mind you, he was screaming so loudly that we could clearly make out what he was saying. Things like "I hate you", "why do you keep doing that when you know it make me mad", doors slamming,etc. Judging by the amount of beer cans in the recycle bin every other week, we think he's a pretty heavy drinker. This has happened numerous times since, and I'm kind of stuck for what to do. I don't want to meddle, but I fear for the welfare of this poor old lady. And if you ask me, when you scream that loudly, you are making your business everyone else's business. Thoughts?

This morning, while driving on the freeway in heavy traffic, I saw two young men smoking a substance out of a pipe. This was not a tobacco pipe used by your grandpa, but a pipe used for smoking marijuana or crack.

I am just so sick of clowns in a drug induced stupor putting the public at risk. I thought about calling 9-1-1, but decided against it realizing that the police probably couldn't do anything and that what I had witnessed didn't constitute a life and death emergency. Should I have called 9-1-1? Would any of you had dialed 9-1-1 under the same circumstances?

I am the plaintiff in a course of action. I have filed several motions in court for a Preliminary Injunction. I filed the Preliminary Motion first, next, I filed a Brief in Support of the Motion, I then filed a Motion to Modify Brief, following which I was granted a hearing date and subsequently filed a Notice of Hearing. All of which were served on and received by the defendants. The defendants have not responded to any of these motions either positively or negatively.

What should be my other course of action? What happens if a defendant does not respond to the motions?

If the defendants fail to show up for court, what happens?

Can I automatically win the case or does this not have a bearing on the court's determination?

Thanks so much!

The beneficiary of the estate is my husband. He inherited from his daughter and he was declared the sole beneficiary. His son told my husband that he could not be both beneficiary and executor, so my husband appointed the son as executor. The assets of the estate were deposited in a Merrill Lynch account in August 2005 and are under the name of the executor. My husband has no access to the assets, and only receives a quarterly amount alloted by the executor. The executor has not given the assets to the beneficiary because he was trying to force him to sign an irrevocable trust. There was no will or previous trusts dictating how the assets should be invested. My husband just wants to get total access to the money in the Merrill Lynch account as is his right. This is the reason why he wants to change the executor. But he wants to do this without causing any legal problems for the executor, even if he has misbehaved.
