Law & Ethics - January 2007

I recently opened an account for a relative who was going to do something for me for the money. Since we didn't open a joint account I at least had her sign a slip, so that if she didn't do me the favor, I could easily get the money out. All she did was sign it. Sure enough, she told me that she changed her mind and would not do me the favor. I told her 100 times the money is for the favor and she would not get anything if she didn't do it. That day, I went to the bank and withdrew my money from her account which I felt she wanted me to do. She called me up and said no I didn't want you to do that, I want the money and she said that she went to the bank and told them. What are my rights and what should I do? I don't feel that I did anything wrong. Should I go to the bank and explain or wait till they call me?

The victim does not have a chance. Unless you are loaded with money and can afford the best lawyer in town, who by the way has the judge and the police in his pocket, you do not have a chance to win. I am a decent person and the law just keeps kicking me in the face. If I had the money this would not happen. Our government is corrupt, our judicial system is corrupt, where do we turn now. It is very upsetting.

I dont understand the rationale. Marijuana is illegal but alcohol and nicotine are not. Marijuana is no more harmful to the bodily system than alcohol and nicotine consumption. Do you feel it should be illegal?

I am 19 years old and my girlfriend is 17 and we live in ky. She was talking about getting emancipated but there is no emacipation law here in Ky. Does that mean she can move out at 17 years old on her own free will?... Everyone else tells me it does... I dont know but would love to. My parents are willing to support her in which her parents does a bad job of it. So can she move in if she wants without her parents saying she can do so?

I am wondering if people must still swear upon a bible when they are admitted in court as a witness.

Further to this question, must they say something like "swear to tell the truth, whole truth, and nothing but the truth"... so help them "God." like on Perry Mason? If not, what does one have to say?

If one must swear on the bible, and/or swear an oath that includes God, then what about atheists or agnostics? For atheists, isn't it kind of pointless (or even in violation of their 1st amendment rights) to try to have/force them to swear an oath on a book, and/or with words, that they don't believe in?

Yes, I realize that, assuming an oath is still taken about telling the truth, breaking their oath by lying would essentially still be committing perjury (lying)... I'm not looking for a way around telling the truth in court; I'm simply wondering what our court system requires, and if that's a Christian or even generic "God"-based system why we still do that in our courts...

recently bought a used Corolla at a Toyota dealership, I have yet to pick it up. Over the phone we were told a bunch of BS which turned out to be false once we saw the car (it had more mileage, was NOT certified etc..). So, through negotiations, we were able to get 14K "out the door" and an additional bumber to bumper warranty for 36K miles at NO COST.

Through financing, our rate was 9% and so we were told that resulted in a monthly payment of $280/mo for 14K "out the door".

They fudged with the numbers and charged us 7.84% for 16K total claiming that they had to fudge with the contract to "get us" our exteneded warranty because it was worth $2000. He even showed us that the total interest was still the same at $4152.
Once I got home, I plugged it all into a loan calculator and found out that 14K out the door @9% was really $250/mo and, yes he was correct that $4152 interest would be paid, but he forgot to mention that increasing our total to 16K upped our principal by $2000

My apartment complex has had people getting followed home after work and robbed at gun point. Ive seen some suspicious vehicles semi tailing her after work coming home a couple days that fits the Robbers vehicle description.
I keep a rifle and wait for her everyday so she doesnt get robbed when she parks..
What happens if they decide to hold her up and I pop a cap in the guy robbing her?

Isnt that necessary force?

I used Necessary force to win another case of felony assault against me for beating on 7 punk rockers at once, then putting 3 of them in the hospital. They started harrassing my wife, and threatening us.
It worked just fine Wouldnt it be necessary for me to cap this guy because he has a gun on my wife? I dont intend on killing him unless I have to.
A shot to the knee is my preference.
Surely im allowed to provide cover fire for my wife.
I wait for her everyday to ensure they dont follow her.
I dont see walking around the apartment parkinglot with a rifle wise

I sold or at least I thought I sold my digital camera on Amazon.co.uk. I was contacted by this yahoo email address -princesswayne12@yahoo.com - and was told to send my camera to an address in Nigeria and that payment had been made to my amazon holding account. As it was my first time selling through Amazon (I was gullable) I thought that this was genuine so I sent off my camera as instructed in a well written and disguised email which I recieved from email the address above. I have since learned that I have been a victim of Fraud and the sale is not genuine. Can something be done with this email address? i.e can Yahoo remove it from their domain and can relevant information be obtained from it to report it to relevant criminal agencies. I am just trying to make life harder for this criminal so that no other genuine people are caught out by this scam. thanks to anyone who can help or advise.

I have a friend that is 19 years old. We live in Kentucky. His girlfriend which is 17 years old wants them to runaway together because her parents doesnt like him because of the person he was in his past in which he has now drasticly changed himself into a much better being. She is fixing to go to the courthouse and try to terminate her parents rights, she says she heard something on the news about a year ago, and if im not mistaking I also heard, that they passed a law here to where you can get your parental rights terminated between ages of 16 and 18 years old. Her parents do verbally abuse her and threaten her alot. They are a cause of severe emotional stress and she is becoming deeply depressed. They are very controling. Is there a way that she can terminate her parents rights as a 17 year old if she has somewhere to live in which is financially supportive and beneficial? They are wanting me to help them since neither of them has internet connection. And supposubly if she cant do it, they are going to run away together. With him being 19 years old and her 17 years old what could happen if they were caught? She is legal age of consent. And if they dont get caught and hide out well enough until she were 18 years old and then return back home, what can happen? Please give me some decent answers, im trying to help give them information on this because they are very close friends and I care alot for them. Thanks!

Do you think that it is correct and or legal for churches to house illegals and then hold press conferences about it? Do you think that if a CHurch does this should they lose their tax-exempt standing?
