Law & Ethics - January 2007

About 5 months back, my neighbors downstairs told my landlord that they have roaches because they are very dirty people who leave food laying around. My husband went downstairs to see it with my landlord because they speak hardly any english. He did not physically see any bugs, but the place was a horrible mess. As a result, I clean everyday all psycho because we have four children and the second I see a bug in my apartment I would move. My landlord knows we have small children, but still did nothing to remove the bugs downstairs, just told them to clean more. What rights do I have in this situation? Less rent as a result of the possible damage and possible health damage?

has 1 child which isnt his, if i go to the csa will they take that child into account when working out what my entitlement should be.Also will i get back payment for the time i have not received anything from him. Myself and my new partner are sick of him saying that he cant afford to pay us anything, he just sees us as being comfortable and thinks he can get away with his responsibilties as a father. I hate the way he treats his own kids by depriving them, when he spends money on her and her child who also put a claim in to say that one of my kids were living with them while i was claiming as a single parent for both my kids while they were both living with me which i may now be under investigation for what can i do

of a bank refusing to cash a check from their bank unless you had an account there or agreed to be fingerprinted?

This recently happened to someone I know, a business owner cashing a check. He did not have an account there, the check was from their bank, and was told that that was their policy.

When my car was towed on 10/14/06 I never did and still have not recieved any kind of notification that they had my car and what would happen. Thats been 3 months now. I have been told they were gonna auction the car then told they wree gonna crush it. They were supposed to auction the car on 12/14/06. Now when I call they say it has been auctioned but they can't tell me how much for and won't send me anything to verify anything. And they say the bill is 1800.00. Which is the same amount before the car was supposed to be auctioned. If there is anyone who has been threw a similar situation any information would be helpful. I don't know what to do to get these people to work with me and really can't afford an attorney. I feel helpless cause i don't know any laws. Maybe a site I can go to to help me with this to let them know they can't push me around
Thank You

Can you make a motion to the courts yourself and get a courtdate set or what?

After all, if anyone else were to make decisions that cost the lives of over 3,000 American's, referring to the war in Iraq, wouldn't said person be charged with murder, manslaughter or at the very least, Gross Criminal Negligence?

Again, Bush is ignoring the advice of his Generals in the field and the voice of the American people in ordering 21,500 more troops to Iraq. He is ignoring everyone but his own inner voice.

Therefore, it is my belief that if even one more American is harmed in any way as a result of his order to send in those troops against the advice of his generals and the will of the American people who overwhelmingly say NO, then he should be charge immediately upon said soldier becoming injured or killed, with Gross Criminal Negligence and or murder. he should then be removed from power and if Dick Cheney does not immediately withdraw all troops from Iraq, then he is to be charged upon the same occurrences.

Thoughts?

You people impeached Clinton because he pointed his finger to you and said " I did not have sexual relationships with this woman, Ms. Monica Lewinsky ", lying about the fact that he did actually get oral satisfaction from her, yet refuse to impeach Bush who is sending thousands of young americans to probable death after it was absolutely uniquevocally proved that over 3000 have already died, that thousands others have been injured/disabled for life, and over 100,000 Irakis died in what is now seen as a second coming to Vietnam ?
How many more lives do we have to kill amongst our families, and those we originally intended to save from a mad man and give them freedom (before we killed so many of them) before Bush is told enough is enough and show him the door ?

Clinton cheated on his wife and lied to you about it while at the same time telling you "yes I did it but logic has it i must deny my embarassment"
Bush is killing your kids and loved ones telling you "I intend to kill more"

Lets say my wife's last name is Gonzales but the ss card shows Mary Ana Gonzales-Garcia. Garcia is her mother's last name. The dash and Garcia shouldn't be there. She Has been using Gonzales in the past. Does this means she has to use Gonzales-Garcia from now on and for everything. Would it be a big deal if she uses just Gonzales as last name in further documents without changing the name on the SS card. or would there be a conflict because Gonzalez and Gonzales-Garcia are 2 different names.
In South America, we have 4 names: First name, middle name, father's last name and mother's last name. i know most of the time INS would put your four names on the green card. Lets say her name is Mary Ana Gonzales Garcia. In the card the name shown is Mary Ana Gonzales-Garcia. First I thought that is not a big deal then we went to the SS office and they put the name just like the resident card.

At the moment we have;
1. Drugs readily available for All AGES, EVERYWHERE.
2. Drugs are controlled and distributed by PROFIT based organized criminals.
3. The profits of such go on to fund further crime and drug production.
4. The drugs are not controlled thus (as in this case) deadly mixes are sold for more profit at the cost of harming the end users.
5. Government misinformation causes people to not know who or what to trust when it comes to drug education, so they try for themselves.

And thus the known solutions;
1. Legalize all drugs and make available by doctors prescription; This prevents
a) Impure deadly mixes
b) Dealers / pushers making new users on the street
c) Availability (local pushers gone) and desirability to the underage (doctors prescription removes novelty value)


Give people back their freedom to choose and educate them honestly - this is the way forward.

In the UK more people (per head) smoke cannabis than the netherlands where it is legal!!!!

I was recently fired by my employer soon after I sent a letter to my employer requesting that personal information (i.e. salary, promotions, etc.) not be given voluntarily to my ex-wife. My employer is related to my ex-wife. I have proof that in the past personal information had been shared with my ex-wife. I was told that I was let go because the "company was going on a different direction", but I trully believe that the real reason was because of my request. I was employed there for over 3 years, I received several promotions and all of my evaluations were excellent.

Do I have any legal case against my ex-employer?

My daughter went shopping with her schoolmate at a department store. Her schoolmate was caught shoplifting. Store security insisted my daughter knew about the steal because she was chatting with the other girl and smiling at the time. He took picture of my daughter, and told her never to step into the store again. We feel she is assumed guity by association, and want to appeal to the store, but not sure how we should proceed. We appreciate any comments.

Am i in the wrong job, here in a little town in the west midlands,we have a councilor who is being given early retirement, she only as 18 months to go before she would have retired anyway, but the local council as decided that due to poor performances by the council and person concerned being the leader of that council, it was decided to give her early retirement with an enhanced pension and a payoff of £75.000. This surly is the gravy train, for councilors at our expense..I myself can't afford to pay towards a pension, yet 28% of my council tax goes to pay for councilors pensions, and their fat redundancy payoffs....I will now drop out of work and get on the gravy train, while i claim unemployment benifits and all that goes with it, no council tax to pay, just to know that i will not be contributing to these parasite councillors pensions
will add another 10 years to my life.. A nearby council (Cheltenham) have voted an allowance for all their councillors to have a makeover Its true..

I do not feel it is right to allow others to enter our country and live illegally. Why should we have to lower our standards to theirs because they have already ran their country in the ground. Now they are going to come over here and run our country in the ground. Furthermore, the cost of just about everything is going up in the healthcare industry and taxes are higher because we hundreds of thousands of people in this country that the tax payers and insured are paying for to live. I am about ready to go on welfare myself. I can't afford it anymore. The only thing not on the rise is cost of labor. And why you ask well its because the Mexicans work for peanuts causing the worker who actually has skill in a trade to loose work because he is chargeing what he is worth. Not saying the Mexicans don't charge what they are worth cause hey the work they do is shoty and is falling apart or burning up. Look at the facts. We got to stop this humanitarian BS and take care of ourselves.

7 yrs ago I was caught with a fake ID in Pennsylvania. I plead guilty to 2 charges, paid the fines, and was told I'd lose my PA driving privileges for 6 months. I had a WA license and was told over the phone (wish I had it in writing) by the PA courts that it would not impact my WA license.

Now I'm moving to California and can't get a CA license b/c the PA thing is on my record. Turns out I had to submit a "voluntary suspension" form which I never received from PennDot. They're telling me that I need to complete a 90day suspension and pay $25 restoration for them to clear my record -- which should hopefully let me get a CA license.

My question is whether or not WA will receive this suspension notice from PA and suspend my WA license in the meantime? Or whether I can serve the suspension in PA and maintain my WA license? I've been given contact info to appeal the matter and get a PA state rep to help, but since it's just 90 days I feel it would be quicker to just ride it out.
