Law & Ethics - February 2007

I seek the internet community's feedback on this statement listed in the employment act. (9) This section shall not apply to employees engaged in the fire services or in work which by its nature involves long hours of inactive or stand-by employment.
Your feedback is required on the jobs that fit this statement. The authorities have no clue and says that it does not fit a watchman or a security guard. This I disagree, Can the community shed some light on this. The authorities say it covers airline crew. I believe they are unsure and will not dwell in this as they have no clue as to what it means? I am certain that many are not well verse in the act at all. Care to comment?

Prisons can be considered to be a workplace. If smoking is banned in prisons will this be an infringement of the human rights of convicts?
How do their rights stack up against the rights of ordinary hard working people who happen to smoke?

If police come to my house on a search warrant for drugs can they search my whole house? They found numerous drugs and did not make any arrests and its 5 days later. When I went to the court house they have no file of the warrant or charges. The police took my lease too. When they came in they had assault rifles and no uniform and yelled get the f*** down! Does this sound right to you? They also could not provide me with an affadavit or a probable cause and would not let me make any attorney questions

I am looking for cases in Kansas in the past few years of which the parents who commited the crime and the child died, got off with little to no sentence. I am trying to make a point that our laws when concerning the abuse/death of a child should change.
Also if anyone knows the name or where i can get information about the death of a child in Gardner Kansas a few years ago where her father killed himself and her on the train tracks i would much appreciate it. I can't even find her name to get info on it.
Thanks again.

The student handbook clearly states " Minor Offence 1.)1 Hour Detention 2.) 2 Hour Wednesday Detention. Major Offence 1.) 2 Hour Wednesday Detention 2.) 2 In School Suspention." My first offence was minor, so they gave me 1 hour detention. My 2 offence, was major but they gave me a 2 day in school suspention, instead of 2 hour detention. Can they do this, just change the student handbook at their command, Please Help?

Even though some people get a gag reflex if they see two guys kiss, GLBT(think i got that right) couples are simply as creepingly love struck as any heterosexual couple. Most importantly they aren't hurting anyone!

On the other hand there are children being killed every day by mothers who are inconvenienced by having a child. Killing kids, just not cool...

So say one day us silly republicans finally ban abortions BUT we also accept GLBT marriages, followed by letting them adopt the excess of children that are being born. Granted such a black and white scenario will never happen, but would you find it HYPOTHETICALLY acceptable?

I am not a smoker and I generaly to not like the smell of smoke. In the past I did like to have a cigar in a bar once in a while. I do agree with laws baning smoking in public areas so that non smokers are not expossed to second hand smoke, but do you think that the ban should also include all bars?

Thank you for looking. A while ago I purchased a cell phone from somebody on ebay. I paid them through paypal, and was suppose to recieve the phone. As you may have already guessed the phone never arrived. I notified paypal who is the company I used to pay him with and they decided in my favor but were only able to recover $2.00 out of $265.00. My question is can i take this person to court and demand my money back even if they live in a different state? Please respond. Thank you
