Law & Ethics - June 2007

wrote a guy that was remodeling my house a check. Then i didnt hear from him for a week, i called him a few times a day but he did not answer so i canceled the check. Today i got a phone call from a check cashing store that we owe them the money. Is this correct?? legally who is responsible for the money? the guy that i still havent heard from or me??

today i got a letter from the check cashing place that says " if the payee was not entitled to the proceeds of this instrument then it should not have been tendered to him/her. In effect there is no legitimate basis for check cashers of texas to stand the loss for you error"

IS THIS CORRECT??

A convicted and registered sex offender (he downloaded child porn from a newsgroup) in our town now owns a VERY successful coffee shop. He became successful AFTER he was released from prison. Everybody in town knows of his crime but still uses his coffee shop. He reported over 2 million in sales last year to the IRS... IS THIS FAIR AND RIGHT?

My mother's mortgage co. has been calling and harassing me for her mortgage payments since she died a couple of months ago. I have sent them all the legal forms for them to file a claim in Probate Court but they are having their collectors call me, anyway, saying they could forclose on her house. My brother and I are worried that we might lose the house before we can put it on the market for sale.

My friend and coworker is a good father. He has two kids who he has every other weekend. He makes $11 an hour, works 40 hours of hard work, and he pays 650 a month plus medical insurance for the kids. Thats $40 a week. He's working a second job just to afford to have his kids. I think its unfair.

I don't want anyone calling me racist, I know that what Don Imus said was terrible, but atleast he apologized for it, which was all he could do. But why hasn't Al Sharpton apologized to the Duke lacrosse players? He called them rapist and wanted them thrown in jail but they were innocent. Don't you think he should apologize to the players? He says he believes in equal righst, and if he does he should apologize.

My younger sister works at a daycare that is owned by a church. The do not pay overitme or provide any breaks during the day. She is only 19 and this is her first real job. She asked me if this was okay but I didn't know. At my job if you go over 40 hours in a week you get time and a half for every hour over 40. We also are intitled to a 15 minute break every 4 hours. She works 12 hours a day 5 days a week and 3 hours on Saturdays cleaning. We live in North Carolina. Is this right or is this illegal?

If I buy a flag, it's my property, and I can do what I want with it. Even burn it in protest. If I legally cannot, then my rights have been infringed-- the government has appropriated by property and owes me compensation.

Remember, the biggest flag burners are the American Legion. It's how the Flag Code specifies that worn-out flags be retired. So it's not the burning that upsets people-- it's the sentiment being expressed. Which is something the First Amendment protects. If you disagree with that, you're desecrating the Constitution. And that's not just a symbol!

Again, I wouldn't burn a flag. I Do, however, burn Bibles. Want to make THAT illegal?
