How can i find out if there was a LEADS warrant when I was arrested? How can i get an example of a LEADS number. I was stopped and arrested b/c of a warrant for a missed court date. The car was searched and I a half pound of marijuana was found.
The police provided me with the LEADS number which is the same as the traffic ticket number. This has been dragging for 4 years now.

that do not require signatures? I know they have them out there that do not require a physical exam.
Trying to help a friend w/info to keep them out of trouble, see other post of mine
are there any life insurance policies that do not require signatures?
And why is it legal to sign someone's name w/an attorney if the other person isn't present? That doesn't make sense

I can barely understand why CCTV is used. The simple fact is that it is no sound replacement for the police, the evidence is used AFTER an offecne has been committed, it makes people (the general public, not shop owners) feel insecure....and now they want TALKING CCTV? Why? What good will that possibly do? It seems 1984 is not on the way, but it is already here. The government has taken a new policy of predicting children likely to commit criminal offences in the future, and restricts their civil rights, before they are even BORN....whats next? CCTV in our homes? Scanners that predict our violent thoughts? Xray scanners on streets? Why is this happening?

When I was getting divorced 4 years ago, my ex paid me a sum of money and I signed a quit claim deed giving him sole rights to the house. However, since he's medically disabled the lawyers didn't want me to press for him to get a mortgage in his name since they were certain no bank would give it to him. However, now I'm concerned. If he were to die or default on the payments, would the bank come after me for the remaining mortgage payments? Lawyers? Paralegals? Is there anything I can do to rectify this situation now and protect myself?

Okay, a good pal of mine -- to make a long story short took a life insurance policy out on her husband and "signed his name". She thinks it's "not hurting anyone", but the main and only thing I'd like to know is legally, if she's ever found out later, can she get into trouble for doing this?
I guess "he did a lot of awful things to her in the past" and she wants to make sure she's financially taken care of for the day he passes over. YEs, of course it is not right, i agree w/u.
HOWEVER how would/could she ever be found out. How does one get caught doing this sort of thing? I thought I'd pass on an answer or two from a post(s) to let her know if it's possible she could later get into legal trouble

Ok, Megan's Law is a good Idea, in therory. But what about the people it hurts. Good Families are distroyed. Men who havn't done anything go to jail. Someones biggest crime is not locking the door and they go to jail because of one sentance: "Endangering the welfare of a child by engaging in sexual conduct, which would impair or debauch the morals of the child". ... That is, when your son or daughter walk in on you and your partner having sex. Those parents go to jail, people!!
Now, who agrees that Megan's Law is a good Idea, it just needs to be re-written?

I'm 22, almost 23 and my biological father NEVER once paid child support, nor supported me, nor helped me in anything like college or medical bills. He only came to see me a few times when I was a toddler. My mother never ordered child support from him.

AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE CAN I SUE HIM FOR THE CHILD SUPPORT THAT HE NEVER GAVE ME MY ENTIRE LIFE?

IF SO, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I WOULD HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO CARRY IT OUT SUCCESSFULLY?

I have a roomate whom I asked to leave. Its a long story, he refuses to split utilities after he originally agreed to. He has been verbally harassing me on a daily basis (i.e. screaming profanities, trying to tell me I cant have guests, cant make a single noise, etc) Finally he egged his gf to punch me in the face after I asked her to leave bc she is basically squatting (living rent free and utiliy free when she is not on the lease). I had the police escort her out and I filed a claim against her for hitting me. I want to take him to court and sue him for all the back utilities he owes, for the damages he left to the room, (drew on the walls, ripped up the floor) also i suspect he kicked and abused my dog (she has bruises on her butt and I certaINLY DID NOT DO THIS) I am planning on taking her to the vet to get an official analysis if it is in fact inflicted abuse. Finally I am suing for harassment. Normally I would not go this far but I feel violated after someone physcially attacking

It seems as though public opinion is firmly on the side of regulation: people who talk on cell phones while they drive are almost universally ridiculed. And I assume that there are ample studies showing a link between cell-phone usage and careless driving. Therefore, the fact that this practice hasn't been more widely banned by now strikes me as very odd. Any explanations?

Their names were taken off a house they invested a great deal of money in, and the profit did not go to them. The way I understand Medicaid laws, if they need to go into a nursing home in the next five years, they could be penalized 7 to 15 months. I have evidence of the deed and their loan being paid off. I believe they know their names are off the loan and they must have been coerced to not receive any of the money. I have called a medicaid lawyer and she says call the police. I have talked to a detective and he says drop it because medicaid probably won't find out. I want to let my parents know what is going on, but am afraid they may take my name off as power of attourney so I will be unable to interfere with whoever is exploiting them. I appreciate any insight into this matter.

At my second job last week, some kid came in with an airsoft gun and tried to rob us. I was walking out of the bathroom and I saw him at the counter. I whipped out my police baton, (metal, extending baton) crept over and broke his arm with it (the arm holding the toy gun). He started crying and freaked out. The police came I didn't get in any trouble but tonight I got fired for that incident without a whole lot of explanation. I thought I saved their asses and this is how they repay me? Now I've been wondering if maybe the owner hired the kid to rob it, so he could claim more on the insurance that what was taken. What should I do?
