He died intestate and left no record of financial assets. Probate has been granted no questions asked. Surely it must be a common problem for money to remain hidden after its owner has died?

Suppose a dirt bag cop uses your statement to spread gossip around town? If that is OK then it should be read, "You have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be held against you out of context and in or out of the court of law within the high court of public opinion stirring the strife because I think I thought..."?

is this a valid reason for him to search your car?

Remember..

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

A police officer having a hunch, although I respect them, does not cover this, if you use the reasoning that he cannot describe the particular place and the persons or things to be seized.

Do you agree or disagree and give reason why..

My husband is saying lie in front of judge that he does not have a child at all. He has got married to another lady and says he has LENT his name to her and her child. He is staying with her and that child and is not accepting truth in the court. However, my husband is insisting that child is not his... all his neighbours in Noida in Sector 26, that lady's parent's neighbours in Sector 37 Noida, his mausi's neighbours in Khanpur in Delhi ....all know that they are married and have a child. If any one of the neighbour could come and say that in the court that can be very helpful and DNA test is the only solution to this issue... ..I wish in our country people could come forward to stand up for the truth and help others in getting justice. If they dont stand for justice today, tomorrow it could be their own daughter's turn to face injustice.. then why not be with the truth today... why to hide truth. How can I convince them to help me and come to the court to say the truth?

I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am concerned in Illinois!

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid level governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer,Rosie,Dan Rather

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA

I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry rear if you're running from them..

I also think they have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think it's good..... and I'm proud that "God" is written on my money.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making "donations" to their cause.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

And what is going on with gas prices... again?

I believe "illegal" is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA!

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know.

We want our country back!

It was brand new, unopened and not expired. I had eaten half of it not even looking at it, and for some reason before I took that next bite something dark caught my eye and there was a large winged bug baked right into the middle of the filling. Needless to say I didn't take it well. And the whole experience gave me an anxiety attack.

My friend says I should save the pie, contact a lawyer and sue. I personally think that finding a WHOLE BUG in the middle of a pie is just ridiculous. Hostess should have standards that prevent things like that from happening. I mean that's a brand anyone would trust. WTF? Why do these things happen to me?!?! Goodness knows I can never eat another Hostess pie again.

I got a question when you are in mediation and its suppose to be only about visitation and the other party talks to you about everything else which you are not sure about but answer.

If the mediator says do u agree to the following and you say yes. Does that bind you ? We havent signed anything yet. But if mediator asks verbally is that still bind you in the court of law or do u need to sign papers first ? How about if i dont agree with one can I change that?

I know that certain states retain laws regarding Christian Science treatment, so that a practitioner is protected from lawsuit if his client (a Christian Scientist) dies or suffers unduly from following the CS treatment instead of seeking medical treatment.
I don't want to lose my relationship to my family but I don't want my family member to lose their life or suffer loss of limb, sight, etc...and if they do, I would want to pursue the practitioner to the limits of the law. The practitioner doesn't see their client if they are calling by phone, and it would be unconscionable to me if I simply stand by and WATCH.

We live in New York state. We own a second-floor condo and our downstairs neighbor smokes quite regularly. The smell is terrible and seems to come through the air vents. Turning on the A/C does not help, since that is where the leak seems to be. Opening the windows does not help, since the smoke escapes her windows and travels up to ours. We run two air filters in our condo and she has agreed to use one in hers, although I can't verify how often she uses it. This helps somewhat, if the odor is slight. However, if, for instance, we've been gone all day, the smoke can be overpowering and severely affects my allergies. Our condo association declined our first request for assistance.

Are there ANY legal precedents in the state of NY that can help us in ANY way?

Thank you for any help!

When most of my constitutional rights were violated I went to the aclu as a last resort. They told me they only cared about creating new rights. When i persisted in showing that my existing rights were violated the president of the new york civil liberties union said, " why dont you just get over it and get on with your life" Would you expect this from a real civil rights organization?
