for someone to be paid while performing court ordered (sentenced) community service hours? I'm sure the laws vary state to state. (I live in Arizona, if this is of any help, with answering this question.) Thanks.

The company I work for says that no employee that is under them can hang out or socialize with them during the workday or outside of work. I can understand while at work this policy, but is this legal outside of work? Can they fire you if you hang out with your boss on the outside?

These are tools that you as an employee bought when hired because they were required to do the job. They were secured in a locked toolbox on company premises. The lock was cut and the tools were stolen. Is it the company's responsibility to replace them since they did not provide adequate security or is it your responsibility?

Do you think its because of modernizing society and it has to adapt or is it triggered by some sort of discrimination case that has been fought and won? If you agree discrimination that has went to the crown court could you suggest any case that would validate this.

I have a friend who is considering trying to be a school bus driver (kind of random, I know). He got a DUI two years ago and is wondering if he would still be allowed to try. He has not been arrested or anything since then.

I went to Florida last summer for vacation. I met a girl at a party where we were both drinking heavily. We ended up having intercourse in the bathroom of the house of the party. I had only known the girl for a maximum of 6 hours. She called me a month later telling me that she was pregnant. She decided to have the child and she now wants me to pay child support. I would like to just sign away my rights. She is the one who chose to have the child and I frankly was black out drunk on the night that we hooked up and I don't even remember the act of conceiving the child. I'm a 20 yr old college dropout that delivers pizza part-time. I don't want my life to be ruined because of a night I don't remember. I live in Pennsylvania. Pleas give me any advice you can!

Ok, I have the constitution open right now. You guys should all know the constitution. If not, here:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.billofrights.html#amendmenti
(opened to the BOR)

OK, let's take an excerpt:

The first amendment:
"...the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
---OK, this is pretty obvious. Individual people have the freedom to assemble and complain to the government.

The second amendment:
"...the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
---OK, this is pretty obvious. Individual people have the right to bear arms. People claim that this means the state can organize a militia, but individual citizens cannot have private weapons. That IS the usual argument for gun control, correct?

So how come the first "right of the people" means individuals, but the second "right of the people" means the state, even though they are only..(I'm counting)

What are they thinking passing Law SB 861!???
While it is true that the Dangerous Dog Breed law was passed in response to incidents in which people were injured by dogs - often by particular breeds - the answer to such incidents is to hold the owners responsible, not the breeds of dog. Irresponsible dog owners are to blame for such incidents, not the breed. It is not the particular breed's fault that certain types of dog owners choose to train them to fight, or to attack, and for every dog of a given breed that has been irresponsibly trained, there are hundreds more of that breed who are loving family pets. More to the point, for every dog of a given breed that has been irresponsibly trained, there is an irresponsible dog owner - and it is that dog owner who must be held accountable, not the dog, who is but another victim of the owner's irresponsible acts.
what is everyone's oppinion on this law? (forces to spay or nuter any breed that cali says to do it to owner has no choice!)

Is it legal for me (in Illinois, USA) to hold an online raffle on my website? It would be a raffle of some random merchandise and I would collect payment for virtual raffle tickets via PayPal, or some such interface. The funds would go to covering expenses involved with running the site, not to charity as may normally be the case.
