Law & Ethics - June 2007

My daughter had a restraining order placed against her by a friend. She had to go to court and the whole thing is a lie. Now this friend is trying to contact her. Can you contact someone if there is a restraining order in place?

Bobby Cutts a murderer and a police officer has made alot of news having to do with the fact like myself he is law enforcement a cop. The hardest thing for me to do is to break the "so-called" blue code of silence. But when that guy got killed in New York coming from his bachelor party by a hail of bullets and he wasn't even armed and way back to Rodney King which got that stupid LAPD Chief Gates fired and when the sheriffs deputies murdered the youth in Florida at that boot-camp and tried to lie and say they were giving him CPR. Maybe it's time to impose the death penalty. Some states have the death penalty for serial pediphiles,others for drug offenses especially overseas. As a former cop, police need to be held to the highest standards. As a former soldier during war you can be sentenced to death for cowardice,for treason for murder including even if you are military police a military tribunal can sentence a soldier to death.

Everyone keeps talking about nonsmokers have the right to clean air and smokers having the right to smoke. What about the business owners, where are their rights to say what goes on in their business?

I'm an attorney, and I'm scratching my head over this one. 4 Justices (Scalia Thoma Alito and Roberts) seem to say that a public school can NEVER use race as a basis for selecting a child. 4 Justices (Ginsburg Breyer Stevens Souter) seem to say that a community can ALWAYS do this in a reasonable manner. But one Justice (Kennedy) says that a community can SOMETIMES do this if it addresses diversity concerns.

In my community, we have 6 "magnet" elementary schools that you pick from, as a 1st, 2nd or 3rd choice. After all the applications are in, the schools then strive for a diverse student body, by race. It works very well and has diversified all of the schools. Does this meet Justice Kennedy's test? Can anybody really say (except for Justice Kennedy)?

What about the rights of a non smoker to enjoy clean air in pubs and enclosed spaces! Let's face it, I can stand next to a drinking alcholic without my health being affected at all, but if I stand next to someone who is chain smoking I am forced to breath in their harmful smoke!

The ban is not aimed at taking enjoyment away from smokers, it's aimed at protecting the lives of the people who have to breath in their smoke.

and please......Don't say that non smokers have the right to stay out of pubs. They have a right to go out and enjoy ourselves too!!!

Well, now in the UK smokers have a right to stay at home and smoke themselves to death. They don't have to go out and fill our public places with smoke anymore! I can't wait for July 1st!!

at fault here?

Law and Ethics

The man rents a van 3 times throughout a week. The first time he used it, the air-conditioning really was not working. When he returned he told them. Picks it up a few days later, it works fine, then uses it one more time, and it is still fine.

When he went to drop it off and have it inspected, the worker turned the key in the ignition to see if gas tank was filled up. The van was not actually started up, so the man says to the worker, see that, the air-conditoning is not working (as just air was blowing out since the vehicle was not actually running).

He then DEMANDED a refund for driving around with it the whole time "broken".

Who is at fault here? The man for tricking the worker, or the worker for being dumb enough not to realize the vehicle was not even turned on?

If a "renting" neighbor causes damage to your property, can the landlord be held responsible?

Please don't answer with "ask a lawyer" because, obviously, I'm trying to avoid that.

My apt is horrible and has the following problems:
1. they try to "fix" the water at least once every week during which time they will shut off the water from 2 hours to all night and the next day.
2. they told me when i moved in that a security gate was being installed within the next month. I have lived there for 4 months now and the gate still isnt up and functional.
3. I am very clean, but I got a rat/mouse in my pantry somehow. i bought traps and asked the maintanence to fix it. Two weeks later and after bothering them several times did someone come out to "start the process."
4. It is summer in TX and the AC will stop working during the day. It will blow air but it is never cold. Sometimes, it will mysteriously turn on at about 11pm.

What can I do? I hate it here and I dont think it is too much to ask for to have water, AC in the summer, and no rodents in my house. I only have 2 months remaining on my lease, so is there a way i can break it w/o hurting my credit
