Law & Ethics - December 2006

ok ok here is the details.

Today I was pulled over with a group of cars in route to a "toys for tots drive". We were driving 35 in a 40mph zone so the motorcycle cop decides to pull over the person ahead of me. So I decide to overtake but then realize he is flagging me down as well.

So we all pull over, (a group of 8 cars) and he comes upto me and says "license & registration". I then give him my registration and as I am doing so my cigarette falls out of my hand in front of the cop. So I then goto pick it up, as I am doing so he said you might want to pick that up. He then proceeds to cite me for it.

Q1: If you pick up the unburnt cigarette does this still apply?

Q2: How/What would be a way to fight it?

Thanks! -Rick

Is all you see is that bus full of nuns being hit? Are you all so perfect already that you can be so judgmental? Guess what, I already paid my debt for the offense, which was driving at .095, a few short years ago was leagal in mo. Why so many self-rightous ninnys on a soap box? I live in the woods, I've been without my licencs for two years, my small bussines is faltering as a result. I was not pulled over for swerving or driving iraatically. Am I a long time drunk who finally got caught? NO. I went through a rough two months at which time I got a dui. None before, none since. So many haters, heres another cold fact, I used to race stock cars and dirt bikes. I am an enthusiest, I have skills. At .095 I have no doubt my driving skills are far superior to any law enforcement officer in the union, I accept any challenges. So many haters? I guess it's a result of ignorance, and a mob mentality. Or maybe it's a bunch of sissified conservatives who couldn't find they're A_r_se w/ both hands

My dad had a son in his previous marriage, and the relations between us and my stepbrother are not good. My dad is worried that when he and my mom pass, that my stepbrother will try to come after the money he leaves for us. My dad wants to give me and my sibling all the money, but we're worried that my stepbroter will try to get a share of it. My dad wants to know if there's any way he can protect against this. Do you know of any ways? thanks

I have heard that if someone whom has gone to the work of collecting, cleaning, washing and properly bagging returnable Containers with the Maine Stete Returnable Print on it may not return them if they are from out of State.
I am wondering if this is true and if so why?

It seems that if someone is truly trying to help Save Our Planet and has collected the Containers they should not be Penalized for being from Out Of State and I am Certain that the person would most likely spend their money at least some of it in Maine itself.
Please Advise, Thanks!

My husband had an affair with a girl at work (they work at an educational setting). They lived together for a short time when we were separated and he came back to me. He gave her back the deposit on the house they rented even though he put thousands of $$ into it. Now the girl is telling him that he has until Jan. 31 to quit his job or she will report him to Dean of students etc.

I know what my husband did is wrong and I am not defending him in any way at all. I am staying with him so thats not what I'm asking about.

They did things on campus that were not appropriate. She is studying to be a teacher. This is very stressful. We will be seeing a lawyer but have you any experience with this? Yes, he could lose his job and are preparing for that possibilty.

She's been calling since Sept. to tell him ths.

He wants to go to the dean and let them know that someone is threatening his job and take whatever punishment is handed down. I support whatever he chooses, but its really unsettling

I have been violated and now must go to court on the 3rd of Jan. My probation officer said that as long as I meet my probations requirements and have everything documented then all I have to do is show up for court.

I am now nervous and want to get a lawyer her in Manatee county, Florida. I have $500,is that even enough money? Help me please and thanx!

I am hoping to take the bar exam for my state. Part of the application/review process to see if you're qualified is a credit check. Will a score of 650 prevent me from being able to take the exam? All the other things aren't a problem, I've never been cited for a traffic offense, never been arrested for anything, went to an accredited school, etc.

Why is it that you can buy lethal cancer causing cigarettes from most shops however shops aren't allowed ( I don't think) to sell nicotine replacement therapy aids? (Patches/Gum etc).

The Government whinges on about how much smokers cost the National Health Service so why isn't NRT therapy free sold next to cigarettes in shops?

Is it purely financial as tax on cigarettes is extertionate?

Especially since the main charge they alleged -- that he was planning do detonate a dirty bomb -- as the basis for stripping him of his constitutional rights had to be dropped because they had no real evidence to establish it.
