Law & Ethics - January 2007

I was reading today how Prince William's girlfriend is being hounded by aggressive paparazzi, and the royal family fears the tragic repeat of what happened to Princess Di when paparazzi were chasing her vehicle. Do you folks believe that deadly force, even firing at the paparazzi should be allowed to ensure the safety of such people. I understand that paparazzi are doing their jobs, but they are putting the lives of their subjects at a great risk.

Sounds stupid but if we put a tracking device into every baby we can monitor where everyone is by a government controlled network. You might think this an invasion of privacy but what if the government had to get a warrent to actually search the records, so if there's a murder we can instantly know who did it or if a child is missing you can find it in minutes. C'mon it's a no brainer.

After living in our residence for a year, our landlord just sent us a nasty letter informing us that we owe $500.00 because we have 3 dogs instead of just 1. Is it legal for them to charge me $250 per pet? Is there anybody I can turn to for assistance in this matter? A security deposit in Michigan is not to exceed a month and a half's worth of rent. Our rent is $400/month. I paid a $400 security deposit and a $250 pet deposit and now am expected to pay an additional $500 deposit - all of which I know I will not see a penny of - landlord notorious for not returning money ever. Please help!

Sonoma County in California is proposing to require installation of a meter by a professional, requiring a permit for this work, and then fees for monitoring the usage as well as charging for the usage... isn't the aquafer similar to minerals, if you own the property, you own the rights to it? is this really legal for them to do? is this constitutional? in the area I have concern, a City may be responsible for contamination to wells in the vicinity also. Any real help would be wonderful.

I will be writing to the area Representatives as well as the Board on this matter and would like to have input.

My roomate and I are both in the military. He recently got permanent change of duty station orders, and he has to move to another city. We both signed the same lease for our apartment, and the apartment automatically debits half of the rent out of each of our bank accounts each month. The property manager is telling us that he can leave, but since we don't have the same last name, I have to either find a new roomate or pay all the rent by myself (both of which are next to impossible right now). But she says I have to stay on the lease. This doesn't make sense to me since we both signed the same paper and that the lease agreement states that he and I were to split rent each month. It doesn't seem fair, either. Has anyone ever encountered anything like this, and what should I do?

And does it make any difference that in the lease agreement, he and I agreed to split the rent, and we both signed by those terms as well?

Okay ..I live in a mixed income community, meaning ..there are rental apartments and condos and townhomes ownship under the same development ...so they all look very similar to each other. on my block ..not many of the residents have dogs ..but the few there are...are people that are buying their units. My problem is they walk their dogs in grass and walkway in front of my building ...and dont pick up their droppings. So this past weekend ....a relative of mines was a victim of stepping in dog droppings ..and the person was still outside walking their dogs ...I said something about it ...i asked then ...where were their pooper scoopers ..they looked at me like i was speaking foreign or something. So I talked to my property manager about it ...and was told there was nothing that could really be done beside just reporting it to the police. But there is got to be something more that can be done, cause this is ridiculous .......someones got to care about keeping their neighborhood clean .

In highly industrialized countries, are there still even ACTIVE labor unions (I mean, what kind of protests do workers from highly modernized countries do they call for)?

Labor unions and protests carried out by worker unions are commonplace in our country. Supposedly, employees and workers' rights are upheld through worker unions and yet some employees detest unions. Why do you think this happens? But still many are joining worker unions and protest on the streets. Who are likely to join and STAY in worker unions?

There is supposed to be a separation of church and state correct? So why should what religion a candidate is make a difference. When it is displayed, it just proves that doesn't work for us and it isn't being enforced. Also, people in office who admit to making choices based on there religion should be impeached. Choices should be made based on logic and what is really best for our country.
