Law & Ethics - May 2007

i was walking back from the shop and a policeman stopped me and searched me, asked if i had been wearing a hat earlier or had any weapons, searched me and took my address. then he held me until a cop car drove up in front of us. he told me to face it, i did for about ten seconds and then he said something through his walkietalkie and then told me i could go. what could be up?? i was very respectful since i am a person of color and was worried about getting my *** beat

So if a senior has a girlfriend who is, say, a sophomore, would they have to break up when the senior turns 18?

I'm turning 18 in 2 months, I like this girl who is a sophomore, so does this mean I shouldn't even bother?

i live in the US. ...............
okay and one of are main principles is the right to pursue happiness without infringing on others rights. so im wondering why one cannot have the right to use illegal substances or take steroids or destroy there life. if that person is not affecting anybody else why does our democracy feel that it is its right to interfere. what one may think is deprivation of a moralistic code in society might be someone elses pursit of happiness and proggress through the emptiness that is.... abuse and addiction. if that person does not call out for help and doesnt want help in life, it is that person right to do whatever he/she wants with it. right? or am i wrong?

If a person files a lawsuit as a jane doe. What does that really mean? I know the people being sued would know the identity of the jane doe but are they legally required to keep it secret or is it just that in the record the name isnt said but everywhere else is fair game?

I was planning on enjoying a few beverages in a week or so, and was asking a friend if he could DD me so I wouldn't drive home drunk, or whatever. I know I am a Minor (20 years old, 21 this year, but I know that doesn't matter.) But, he thinks if he gets pulled over even while he has NOT been drinking he will get his license pulled or a ticket, I know if something like that were to happen I would get an MIP or whatnot, but what are the laws on the drivers part?

I know people have rights but breaking somebody elses with racist remarks is not. Should it be punishable? Some words or insults can really hurt and damage someone.

This was said today on 'Special Report' (aka Brit Hume and the 3 stooges) by Charles Krauthammer.
In plain English, this means: Laws are made to be broken.
Isn't this a typical Republican attitude?

The US government is again turning the socialist wheels and trying for communism!! Now I will have to pay employees who aren't worth the $5.15 an hour more money. Employers pay what the job and the employee are worth, if not the employee leaves for another job! Thats the way it is supposed to work. Now lazy and non productive employees can make as much as hard working productive employees, and the good employees wont be able to get the raise they deserve because the employer cant afford it!!! Genius.
