Law & Ethics - March 2007

I just saw the Chicago video of the female bartender HORRIBLY beaten by an off-duty cop who was twice her size and drunk, repeatedly kicking her in the face and punching her because she refused him alcohol. This has gone on for far too long.

I am sick of how police get away with these attrocities. Just like the black man in NYC who was gunned down on his wedding day, despite the reports that he was unarmed and non-violent. Or 1991 Rodney King beating. Or the black man gunned down in NYC a few years ago 47 times ,while trying to pick up his wallet.

I myself was a victim of brutality a year ago on April 15th in Oak Hill,WV. A policeman said I ran a stop sign, which I didn't , I made a right turn in fact. So I told him he was wrong and then , in a non-violent manner, complained about the WV police force, I was then jerked from my vehicle, placed under arrest and suffered what is known as "handcuff neuropathy", my hand took 3 months to heal and the formal charges were dropped.

Just reading an answer where the Brit referred to a photo shop as a chemist and suggested pay an "extra quid or two". May you have some examples of our language differences.

A man from Europe evidently living in Thailand and claimed to have a Thai wife was put in prison for ten years because he was angry that the bars were closed for the kings birthday and he spray painted several pictures of the king of Thailand.

Do you think ten years is too much or not??

I know that it is obviously against the law if you are a landlord renting a unit, but if you are renting a spare bedroom in your own place, can you advertise that you want a certain type of person and deny people based on the fact that you wouldn't want to live with them?

For example if you didn't want someone over/under a certain age, or with kids, or a gay living in your place, can you deny them on those grounds?

Could that be a form of citizens arrest if I were to call the police. I want to place a decoy car with a hide bear trap disguised as the gas pedal to trap car thieves. Would it be legally wrong for me to do it? Is it state (SC) specific?

I need to know what are the valid methods for documents in a legal case to be served on the opposing party. Do they use private process servers? Can they be sent in the mail? To the person's office or last known address? Or does the court facilitate all service?

This is a question about universal Good and Evil. Not about technicality that Bush cannot be punished because he was not charged and therefore no verdict and not a criminal. For those loyal to Bush, it is not about him, it is about what he did. Please remember also that Iraq just like Bush has not been convicted of any crime but Bush attacked and you guys loyal to him said it is OK. Please elaborate on your double standard. Yes the US was attacked on 9/11 but why attacked Iraq for it? The next time the US will be attacked, who will be the next fall guy?
