Law & Ethics - February 2007

I feel like it is entrapment. They lure these guys into coming to this set up. In actuality the girls aren't even minors. In that case, should people that sleep with underage girls that they think is over 18, should they be punished?

Obviously a teenager knows about sex and should have the sense to be responsible in some sort of way for their behavior. When I was a teenager I knew better. Anyway, girls that are 11 are having babies these days willingly, they certainly aren't as innocent as the media likes to portray them.

When I asked for a copy of my medical records, my Miami Florida medical clinic said I had to pay $60. The records contained only 3 pages and when I told them that the law said, the provider should charge $1 per page, the clinic said "that is our policy".
I filed a complaint with the state of florida agency that deals with these matters, sent a copy of the receipt and filled the agency questionaire. the agency accepted my complaint as properly filed. After several weeks they sent me a letter saying simply that the provider had not violated the law. Nothing further.
With government agencies like this how can the american people trust and respect the government?

I am taking an online biology class because I am having a baby in a few months. The teacher does weird things like telling us to study for a particular test and we do and he intentionally puts the wrong test on there (and of course I fail), he gets super mad when you ask him anything about your grade and says everything is your fault, he lies alot too. The dean put me in this class and I asked the teacher if I could finish it in person, he lied and said I never asked him such a thing and ignored me. I make 100s on my homework but my tests I fail miserably. I study for them like crazy. He writes me back insulting emails and questions my mental state and intelligence level. I am an adult, with rights and dont feel I should be treated this bad. I forwarded some of his nasty emails to the dean and kept all of them and the dean never responded. This guy also sells his notes in the college bookstore and expects us to pay $7.00 for a good grade. I hate to quit because I need it for insurance.

15 years ago a house which was in my name only, I believe was illegally sold by my ex-husband. Is is too late to seek compensation? I believe he had someone pretend to be me since he also tried to get credit under my ss# around the same time which I recently discovered on my credit report. Should I see a lawyer? I don`t have any real money to put out for legal fees. I could really use some feedback.

Sex-Offender Residency Laws Get Second Look
By Wendy Koch
USA Today
(Feb. 26) - Oklahoma state Rep. Lucky Lamons was a police officer for 22 years. He calls himself a "lock-'em-up kind of guy."

Yet Lamons wants to loosen his state's law that bans registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or day care center. He says it forces many offenders to live in rural areas where they are difficult for authorities to monitor. Also, he says, it does not differentiate between real predators and the type of men he recalls arresting for urinating in public, a sex offense in Oklahoma.

"We need to focus on people we're afraid of, not mad at," says Lamons, a Tulsa Democrat who wants the rules to focus more on high-risk offenders.

Lamons is among a growing number of officials who want to ease the "not-in-my-backyard" policies that communities are using to try to control sex offenders. In the past decade, 27 states and hundreds of cities have reacted to public fear of sex crimes against children by passing residency restrictions that, in some cases, have the effect of barring sex offenders from large parts of cities. They can't live in most of downtown Tulsa, Atlanta or Des Moines, for example, because of overlapping exclusion zones around schools and day care centers.

Now a backlash is brewing. Several states, including Iowa, Oklahoma and Georgia, are considering changes in residency laws that have led some sex offenders to go underground. Such offenders either have not registered with local police as the laws require or they have given fake addresses. Many complain they cannot find a place to live legally.

The push to ease residency restrictions has support from victims' advocates, prosecutors and police who say they spend too much time investigating potential violations.

They're battling a mountain of momentum, however, because residency restrictions remain popular.

New or expanded ones have been proposed in 20 states this year. Some legislators are reluctant to pare back restrictions they passed only recently.

A major flaw with government today is that we have career politicians. When you run for an elected office it should be because you want to change the current state. It seems now a days that people that run for congress and senate run and do nothing and solve nothing. Which brings me to this. Why do people that we elect recieve pensions? Just because they served doesn't mean we should have to pay for them to live well after they are done. What if they did a terrible job? Taxpayers still have to flip the bill for their pension. Thats not right if you ask me. If anyone agrees with me I would love to see what the public thinks, and if it is similar how could you get something like this on a ballot for the general public to vote on, so we could save our country money and cut down on the amount government has to shell out for ex-public servants? suggestions....I would love to hear them.

I'm glad they are taking these people off the internet dont get me wrong

but from a legal standpoint how can they be charged with anything? unless they were talking to an actually 13-14 year old girl or boy? all the "decoys" are older men and women and the "bait" are over 18 years old

sure you can say "intent" to commit a crime but if no one involed is underage then how are they charged?

obviously slavery and tax and spend are not on the same level, however if Virginia can recoginze the devestating impact of supporting something that negative to society, why not have California recognize the destructive impact of tax and spend to the economy and the self reliance of most of the working american public of failed liberal extremist welfare schemes.

If you actually read court transcipts instead of feeding off some wanker reporters’ vindictive and slanderous reporting of the case, you would know that even after millions of dollars spent by the prosecution to convict MJ, nothing incriminating materialized. That is what those bastards get for prosecuting on a vendetta instead of pursuing real cases. As for MJ’s appearance, his face is his perogative.
