okay i am aware that conversations can be recorded only with both parties knowledge in the federal government. What is the legality of supervisors keeping secret files on workers in the federal government. US DOJ /a supervisor is able to keep a secret file on personnel only with there knowledge of items being placed in this file and in regards to derogatory information the employee must acknowledge by signature each derogatory item placed in this file. My questions is if this information has been submitted to the US OPM office of personnel management and placed in government personnel files of employees is this against federal law. Has supervisor broken federal law and possibly violated employees civil rights.???? government workers this is a question for you please help me out on this.

My 16 year old nephew nephew had a back surgery just a 2 days ago, and you know that ivy they stick in your arm, and you know how they leave it in while the ivy is still going and when it stops or empties they are suppose to take it out, he told them he wanted it taken out because it was itching and hurting his arm, well an hour and a half after the ivy stopped sending ivy, his night nurse came by and took it out. Can he sue for pain and suffering.

Another thing, when my mom called him and told him that she was on her way, he told them that he was needing some help and they told me they would be right back and no one ever came by to help him so he had to help himself. Can he also so for that.

Doesn't this border on some kind of abuse. Can't remember the name for it or what they called it. But can he so the hospital for neglect.

I am being sued by my ex-boyfriend of 5 years for $3,000.

In February, I purchased a motorcycle (for my ex) that he voluntarily returned to me (wrecked with 3,000miles) when we broke up 2 months later.

When we signed the papers, I put the bike, $7,500 (with the VIN number, TT&L, etc.) under my name, and he put the remaining balance $2,800 (accessories, gear, etc.) on his credit card. Now, he is suing me for $3,000, the "down-payment" on the motorcycle, plus his court costs. ( there was no "down-payment") These were two separate transactions. He was not a co-buyer or a co-signer in the purchase of this bike; he now has the accessories that he purchased and I have the bike. We go to court in a month, but I think its a big waste of time! What should I expect with this case?

I asked about a toy my daughter got today on here... it doesn't act like it is advertised to so I was wondering if it was broken or if that is how they all are and yahoo deleted the question. How is that a violation of their policy when I see some pretty bad questions on here and mine was only asking about a child's toy?

In a criminal trial, does the bailiff actually listen to what they're saying, or does he/she just keep order in the deliberation room ? I mean what if the jury made some kind of incredibly corrupt conclusion, like if they were all white and if the defendant was black, they said something like "it wouldnt hurt to convict an innocent black man anyway", or "he LOOKS guilty" or if the judge gave them specific instructions and they refused to listen, does the bailiff step in and tell the judge that the jury is being corrupt ? or do they just trust them to not do that ?

I am a nj resident and I own a home that is appraised at $320,000. I have a mortgage of $240,000 and a judicial lien of $60,000 on the home. They are forcing a foreclosure because of the judicial lien and I want to somehow get rid of the lien. Should I file for bankruptcy. NOt sure if Chapter 7 will help because the judicial lien is a secured claim. Also, not sure if Chapter 13 will help because I will have to pay back the $60,000 and max they allow is 5 year repayment plan and so I will have to pay $1000 each month. Any way around this? Do they allow me to pay less than $60,000 if I file CHapter 13? Can I get rid of the lien in Chapter 7? ANy help is really appreciated. Thank you.

Does anybody know what happens when both sides of the party withdraws a TRO placed upon each other?? Is it an issue in court? Does the judge just dissolve both, or does he/she question it? Any way to make it smooth sailing and be out of there in no time?

my mom is in the hospital. I asked her to borrow her car. she said yes. On a whim, I drove from Nashville to Colorado to see the Rockies. Now she is pissed, but she lets everyone in the family take her van on long road trips, so I thought it would be okay, and I did not want to wake her up and ask, so I just left. Now she is pissed, and says she has reported the car stolen, but she gave me the keys, and did not say where I could go....but on the way home, if I get stopped, can I be arressted for stealing her car after she told me I could borrow it?

I lost my cellphone in a crowded nightspot. The next day when I called my own number, a person finally picked it up and he hung up when I told him he has my phone. I called again and he had switched it off. I made a police report the day after. A few days later, I finally managed to find out who the person is.
I had contacted the person online through this Friendster account, however he did not reply and I know he had logged in to his account as he has new testimonials. I sent him a message again, telling him if he does not reply to my message I shall report him to the police.
He is a 15 year old. I was wondering would the police do if I reported him. Someone told me I was the one who was careless so maybe the police can't do a thing. But I feel that this is theft as I made contact with him via the phone and he acknowledged he has my propery by hanging up and switching off the phone. Furthermore, he gave out my number to his friends thinking he can use it.
What would the police do?

Seriously, they will get out of the carseats just in time to learn to drive.
What about folks who don't grow taller than the legal height limit, do they stay in the carseat their whole lives?
Why isn't someone standing up and saying that this is silly?
