From the time that a person signs an okay for an extradition in court, how long does the other state have to pick that person up? I thought that it was ten days. And, if it is ten days, does that include weekends as well? How about holidays?

The 'War on the Poor' with the 'no sleeping' bylaws and the 'War on God' with laws against cannabis are prime examples of elitist, arrogant thinking that needs to end...NOW.
Add "Poverty & Homelessness" to the human rights act.
Remove "Cannabis" from the criminal code.
Unless you think yourselves greater than GOD.

Do you say Mr. _____ or if you know their first name do you say their first name? Does it depend on how they address you when they talk to you? I don't want to be disrespectful.

I have signed a legal contract, had it witnessed, can i cancel it? Delay paying out being the major factor, the small print didn't give us a time element so does this mean a comapny can keep you waiting as long as it likes if you have already signed this contract? We signed this contract in March/June 2006 and still waiting for our cheque. I am being unreasonable as the item i am selling has increased in value?

Ok from the answers in most of you would have, some still would and the small lefty minority wouldn't. Fine.
Let me ask you this - if things carry on getting worse (a few more 7/7's, 9/11's etc) - Will YOU be willing to take up arms to defend YOUR country. (Not for Blair, Bush etc) - For you and your people?

My husband Traded in a Van for a Truck at a Car dealership. The dealer told my husband that the truck had been overhauld and was in good shape. So, he then traded his vechile for the truck because he wanted a truck. Even Trade- and No warrenty paper. Within Weeks my husband had to change break pads, and A rotor, steering column,drop a leaking fuel tank, and now has to have a whole new Engine put in it becuse the machinc says that all his barings are shot. He called the dealer and the dealer would not trade him back. So he is taking it to court. What are his chances? I personally think he may not have a chance because of the no warrenty. But, the Mechanic and my husband say he does because that Truck should of not been sold like that.. I don't know. would like an opinion from someone that knows about small claims. Or about Vehicles or had this happen before..Btw..we live in Missouri. if laws are different state to state

I had a crash a while ago which turned out to be my fault even though it wasnt as the person on the toher end made up a story which the insurers appeared to belive even though anyone could tell it was made up.

It was all sorted a long time ago but I was wondering how can he get away with it especially when there were witnesses to say he wasnt doing what he said. It caused me problems and just how common is this.

Also whats the best way to go and prove a story wrong even when you cant get hard evidence although it should be obvious it was all made up. The basic thing is he said he was pulling up to the side to park on a 2 lane road?

I had lodged a police complain against cyber cire around three month back. I have received a letter saying I have won lot of money..and contact some one called Stew Williams. Mr Stew also called me on my reply. He directed me to deposit account activation fees in ICICI bank account number. I lodged a complain at once. I also told them the mobile number from where Mr. Stev called was from Nigeria. But the winning amount is from UK. Crime department only told me not to deposit money and they will not act further. I requested them that Stev is still in my contact.. They can trace him. But all in vain

Crimes against humanity. The speaker of the House in 1857 said: I personally don't own a slave but I don't want to stop another for their legal right to own one. Yes slavery was legal then just as murdering a innocent child is now. Then the slavers said there would be no one to take care of these *******. They can't take care of themselves..same as today they say about children when there are waiting list for years of people wanting to adopt. The pro-slave people give the exact arguments then as the pro-aboration people give today. I would encourage to read the history of the pro-slave argument...you won't believe how the pro-aboration people have borrowed the same play book...you will be shocked! It's the same thing, blacks aren't real people...today: babies are real people. Do not be fooled twice...they same people in sheeps clothing are killing babies by the millions. DON'T allow history to repeat. Now read the answers how they will same it's not the same...they are liars!!

My appartment in going to the birds, ever since i moved in its been one thing after another. The hot water tank busted, the racks in the closet fell, the washer and dryer werent working properly, the sink in the kitchen "fell out" cause it was not properly installed, and now ever since they installed a new garbage disposal in the sink, i have very very slow drainage. it was slow before, but its worse now. I turn it on and it shoots water in the air on the other side. Also the "new" thermostat that installed, 2 months ago is not working. The dishwasher is not bolted into the counters so it falls out if you dont hold it while loading, and its getting a lil cold in here cause the "new" thermostat isnt installed right. I know this is florida but it gets cold here sometimes. I've only told him over and over about it but obviously nothing is getting done. what should i do??

I've been invited to attend an introductory session [in 2 weeks time] for a Death Penalty Internship Programme to take place in the USA next year.The internship will involve “hands-on” exposure of legal work involving the common law system of the USA - criminal justice, medical law and human rights and the interns will be expected to work on: United States legal, research, manage case files, contribute to the briefs filed in state and federal
courts, interview witnesses and jurors in appeals cases and visit prisons, including death row.
The problem is that I really am quite amibivalent about the whole death penalty thing. If you are faced with a person who has killed someone and shows absolutely no remorse & indeed desires to kill again, a part of me feels that maybe this person shouldn't be on this earth. I am fully aware, however, that there are miscarriages of justice with innocent people being exectued all the time, but I wonder whether I would be disingenuous by applying?
