Law & Ethics - December 2006

I came out of the grocery store to find a shopping cart on my car.It left a HUGE dent.The car is new,so I parked far away from every one else so I wouldn't get door-dings from careless slobs.Unfortunately all that extra room provided the cart with plenty of asphalt (it's a sloped parking lot) to gain a good deal of speed.
The problem I'm having with convincing the store to pay up is that I waited until the next day to report the incident.But I had what I feel is a good reason to wait.I wanted to go home and get my camera so I could get pictures of the parking lot,but the batteries in the camera were dead and needed to charge.The lot was FULL of abandoned shopping carts that day,and I wanted photographic evidence that the store wasn't taking reasonable measures to keep the lot orderly.But I wanted to get the pics BEFORE I made a complaint,otherwise they would've had the lot cleaned up.When I went back the next day the lot was full of carts again,so I was able to get lots of pics.

If you live in a city where cops will not even ask if a person is a citizen and help the feds then why not just break any law you want because the city or town do not feel that laws are that important, right?

I went to my friend hse and left my ipod there then went out with my friend to buy something. I had left my things there many times before and had no problem until now. While we were out, my friend's friend who is a young celebrity came to his hse and the mother let him. When we got back to his hse, my ipod was missing and the celebrity had already left.

I called him and when i question him he said he might have thrown it out with the trash which was kind of ridiculous. After some talking, he agreed to pay back in cash and said to give him some time. He also promised to put his Gameboy as a deposit until he have the cash.

However, after tat conversation with him, it was near impossible to reach him. For the next few weeks, he was always not at home and his hp is always off. And now my friend informed me that he seems to have moved house.

What can i do now? If i make a police report will i have enough to charge him? And since hes a celebrity can i write to the newspaper?

I work for a company.....i work from 5-5 some and probably most days. The regular time would be 7-3. If I couldnt work overtime, could i be fired from the job? Can they really do that?...That wouldnt really be fair or right. Could this company be in trouble for firing a worker becasue he or she couldnt work overtime? But the problem would be that this State is "At Will". How could you prove that they had fired you becasue you couldnt work overtime? I read the company's employee orientation packet and stuff. And it didnt say that overtime is Mandatory. I thought Overtime was Optional

A case in the Massachusetts is reviving the issue as the case of Terri Schiavo,who was in a persistent vegetative state when a state court ordered the removal of her feeding tube. (http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2006/12/03/after_buddhist_dies_legal_battle_continues/?page=1)

Last week, doctors declared Cheng, who suffered cardiac arrest the day after Thanksgiving, brain-dead and said it was time to remove him from the ventilators and intravenous medicines keeping his organs functioning.

But the family refused to let doctors take Cheng off the life-support system because his heart was still beating. They said their belief as Buddhists was that Cheng's beating heart meant his spirit and consciousness was not ready to move on. Taking him off life support, they said, would be the same as killing him.

The case is still being litigated though Cheng has since died.

Can a person be dead when his heart is still beating? What do you think?

Why is that some products are identically similar but are still being sold?
For instance -
Vasaline Lotion/moisturizer product looks similar to CVS brand (same bottle color same color combination e.t.c)
Head & Shoulder Shampoo Similar to CVS brand.
Multivitamins bottle
Honda Accord 2004 design similar to Hyundai Sonata 2004 design only diffrent is the logo and little changes on the body kit and lights.
Nike Hats being sold in gas stations but they aren't Original Nike Hats made by some unknown company
Some MP3 Players are identically similar but diffrent names.

I know some what the law was if an item is identically similar to another then their is a copyright or trademark infringement. But how is that these companies get away with it. What's the law in terms of reality e.t.c
Thanks

My son-in-law received a final paycheck for a construction company he worked for. He deposited the check in his account and wrote checks against it to pay bills. The pay check bounced and now he is responsible for overdraft fees in his account at the bank. The contractor has agreed to cover the bad check but not pay the additional fees. Under what law can he take the contractor to small claims court to recover the overdraft fees and any additional damages?

Does anybody else out there view CPS as an unconstituional organization that needs to be completely overhauled and rebuilt? If found unconstitutional, which happens in federal courts almost every time, why are we still funding this broken, family destroying program and the incompetent morons who run these programs? Does anybody know and actually like any CPS caseworkers? Does anybody else believe that these CPS types carry alot of emotional baggage and think that they are paid to project their issues through transference onto the unsurpecting public? Is CPS, as a whole, a good or bad idea?

+LOL CPS caseworkers and social workers need not respond. I already know your response and can recognize a ss type a mile away. I want opinions from the public taxpayers not govt. employees who "believe" they are needed.

Personally I'd like to take the little yobs to a land fill site and incinerate them, but I would be the one in the wrong. How are they getting away with all the crime they commit and what can we do about it. the Police don't seem to be doing anything. Stray dogs are impounded yet these idiots are allwed to roam free.
