Law & Ethics - February 2007

So today on judge judy, a father bought his daughter a cell phone and the ex wife took it away from her. The girl called the father crying and saying the mother was being mean. The father went over to the house and the mother slammed the door in his face. The father called the cops to help him and because he himself was a cop, judge judy said that it was unjustified for him to call the cops for a cell phone.

My father (who is a cop) said that judge judy was right! HOWEVER, i feel that he was 100% justified on calling the cops there to supervise what was going on.
my reasons:
1. The ex wife could say that he hit her and he could lose his job
2. the cops have a duty to protect everyone, and they shouldnt excluse fellow cops
3. if the ex wife would not have gotten an attitude with the husband or other officers no charges would have been filed.

the part that really made me mad was the Judge Judy advised the lady to SUE the police department!!

I got into an argument with my best friend and we decided not to talk anymore. 2 nights later, my car was spray painted. I noticed it the next morning and called the cops. I told them about the fight with my x best friend but without evedence, I can't prove it was her. Today I had a note on my car from the neighbor that they saw a car pull in that fits the description of my x friends car to a t. He said it pulled in, drove around the lot twice and then backed in next to my car. 2 minutes later it pulled away. I told the cop that and he said that unless the neighbor saw someone do it, I can't do anything about it. I feel that's wrong. Is this cop right, or should I take this to someone else?

My boyfriend (now EX) - asked to borrow my car one night to run to the grocery store. I said fine and gave him my keys. He never came back with it. The next day, he calls and says the car is stolen. Just got back from the police station. MY EX story is: He tried to score some dope, a guy got in the car, pulled a gun on him, told him to get out the car. That was it. Now, don't answer saying my EX is a worthless, lying, POS - I know that. What I need to know now is do I have right to press charges on my EX if I never get my car back or if it comes back stripped to nothing??

I'm in the fifth month of a 5 year commercial lease. I am still not open due to my former general contractor's lack of interest in even attempting to meet the deadline date we set. He's out of the picture now, and I am pursuing legal action against him.

I am now in the position where I still owe a couple of my sub-contractors some money. I am doing everything humanly possible to get the money together. However, my Landlord is being completley indifferent to the situation I am in. A situation which is due to my former general contractor's gross misconduct while on the job. I never would have picked him had my landlord's representative, while negotiating the lease, not emailed me his number and urged me to use him in 3 different emails.

I'm considering trying to get out of the lease. This situation is starting to affect my health. My lease states that the Sq. footage in my space is 1334. It is actually 1300, per my architects plans & measurements. Is this a way out for me?

My wife had implants some 20 years ago that were made by Dow-Corning. After about 14 tears they ruptured and she had to have them removed and replaced. Now we suspect that there might be a problem again. We were sent a form and we filled it out saying that we wanted to opt-in to the class action suit but we have not heard anything else. I have tried in vain to get some leagal help but no local attourneys are willing to take the case. Maybe some one out there has some information that will help or have a similar situation. Are we just S.O.L or is there something we can do to see if she can get what is rightfully hers under the settlement? Any info would be welcomed. THANX

Most people complained that the smoke in restaurants and other public places was disturbing them, so many places are now enacting laws to eliminate smoking at public places, including bars.

However, I think I am more disturbed by another social stigma: secondhand rap.

Whenever I take a walk downtown, or sometimes even out of my house, I am assaulted by it. I am forced to listen to it at red lights and in traffic. And, like secondhand smoke, it is ALSO dangerous to your health: It may destroy your hearing.

Can we make laws against secondhand rap? Some cities have noise ordnances, but they never enforce them. I say, call your congressman about secondhand rap today!

Two questions on the fifth ammendment:

It appears that the 5th ammendment was designed to prevent forced confessions, but it is well known that when the court requires you to answer a question, then failure to do so constitutes contempt of court. Technically, while in custody, you could be punished for your answer in court. Can a person cite the fifth at will when questioned in the court of law?

It is well known that other people may possess knowledge which could incriminate others. Therefore any question which requires a person to reveal the identities of others may be incriminating to oneself in a variety of ways. Knowledge of a person violating the law can be criminal. Identification of that person could cause them to reveal incriminating information directed at oneself or could direct the authorities to investigate things which could be incriminating to oneself. Can a person cite the 5th ammendment when asked about the identities of others who may have violated the law?
