Law & Ethics - March 2007

He was released from prison in 2003 but went back b/c he violated parole in that same year. He was charged while in prison for being a fugitive and not paying the fines. He owes over $5,500 in fines and has to pay them but he says he only has $300 that he can spare right now and he says he faces 15 years for it.
I looked online and checked it out myself and it's true.
Can they do that even though he wasn't free when they made the charge and b/c he has his criminal history and they will lock him up?
How can he get any real help?

I grew up selling door to door. 2 months ago I was hired at Verizon as a sales Rep. My first week I sold 34 contracts by going door to door and posting ads in the local paper asking people to call to come into the store ask for me so I could sign them up. My manager didn't think this was appropriate and asked me not to do this. I continued doing this and bought a bus stop park bench with my name and wireless number. On the sign it said "Your friendly Verizon Representitive" For the month I sold 318 contracts, not to bad for someone that never sold a tech gadget in there life. Well, I walked into work 5 minutes early and was fired. Is this fair. Do other wireless, cellular mobile reps sell phones like this? My manager just wasn't bringing in the wireless customers through the door so I had to bring them in for him.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 5 1/2 years. About six weeks ago we got an apartment together. I have bad credit and so his name went on the lease as a tenant and I was listed as an occupant. An application fee is required for occupants as well as a criminal background check, but they forgo the credit check. He promised to pay the entire rent and all the bills so that I could pay off my debt. He also promised to help pay off my debt once he had a job. A few days ago, he suddenly tells me he wants me out ASAP. I'm broke since I'm repaying my debt, but I managed to pay our move-in costs. Under NC Law, do I have any rights as an occupant? I have no money and nowhere to go. Can he force me out? I think he met someone else and used me to cover his moving costs since he'd have to wait 3 weeks for his first paycheck. He's doing everything in his power to make the living situation uncomfortable, but I have nowhere to go and he owes me a lot of money. What should I do?

I've heard that arrests from a person's minor years become sealed or unaccessible, but I'm not sure if it's true. Is it? Is this anything before the 18th birthday? What if the arrest was at 17 and the court date was a month or two after the 18th birthday? Does it vary state to state? Or by offense?
Also, I've seen a background check and the offense did not show on it, but I'm wondering if different background checks yield different results. Are there different types or different levels of depth?
I'd appreciate links to official sites. Nothing personal, but I'd just like to see it for myself and can't seem to find it. If you don't have links, some search terms might be helpful. Either way, you get your two points in the least. Thanks, in advance.

I'm a 21year old female and I will soon be moving out my parents house and feel like I need a gun for protection. So I wanted to know if I can purchase a gun without a permit in the state of Georgia. I know that you have to be 21 to purchase a gun period and that you need to have a permit to carry one but do you have to have a permit to just keep one in your house? If you know anything about this or if you know of a website I can use to look up this information please let me know. Thank You

I was off work for twenty-three days with pneumonia. I have a seven day waiting period before my short term disability pays. The insurance is not paying because they say i should have recovered during the 7 day waiting period. People die from pneumonia, how can they assume i should have recovered when my doctor signed the disability forms.

We have already conducted a land registry search and the office copies state that the land on which the tree stands was registered to a person over 70 years ago. It appears that this person may have been a property developer who subsequently sold the land now belonging to ourselves and our neighbours. The land where this particular tree stands, although registered, is subject to rights of way, mainly for access to the back of properties etc. Because of the location of the tree, on the edge of a riverbank, it forms part of land which has never been maintained by either ourselves, neighbours, or previous owners. We have already established that it is not the responsibility of the Environment Agency. It is almost certain that the original registered landowner has since passed away and the land has long been forgotten. Is there any way we can pass on responsibility to anyone else or will it simply be acquired to us due to the presumed right of way that now exists?

Why are they protected when convicted and put in segregated cells/detention centers?

Shouldn't they be put in general population and left to deal with the crimes they committed? Why do they receive special treatment even though they are perpetrators of horrible crimes against kids?

Since when did children (or parents) become a protected class?

I'm the owner of a home converted into three individual units. The house is old and the walls are thin, and the tenants can hear a lot of what goes on in the other units--specifically kids running around, crying, etc.

Why can I not choose to deny housing to families on this property? It's not unreasonable to do so, given the conditions there. The other tenants (both childless couples) should not have to be subjected to stomping, running, jumping, crying, screaming, etc.

Can anyone explain when did kids/parents become a protected class, is there any way around this, are state laws different, etc.? Thank you!
