Law & Ethics - June 2007

Ok so I went on Craigslist and saw that a women was paying $5 an hour for a 50 hr week job....

Its a public forum...so i emailed her and told her that how can she possibly expect someone to work 50 hrs a week as BELOW miniumum wage in our state.....
anyway she emailed me nastty back saying oh well its gonna be some illegal immigrant anyway,moron, so it doesnt matter how much I pays..
i emailed back saying that it was horrible and what kind of person was she to do that, its illegal, and that how can that be the quality care she is looking for for her kids...

so i put a post up on craigslist warning people this women was looking to hire an illegal immigrant to take advantage of them

so this womens find out my name and contacts my school ( it was (my email adrress@my school.com) and emails them and tells them i am harrassing her.

who is right her or me??? can i get in trouble for this?

I think it should not be illegal anywhere. ITS A FRICKIN PLANT!!!!! It is something of nature so if you get caught with it you get into trouble for having a PLANT with you. What if someone threw some marijuana seeds on your lawn and it really grew big and cops drove by?? That would be the best scam ever lol. But seriusly who are they(goverment) to say you cant have a plant???

Can you take a gift back if it is really expensive and the person you gave it to is now your enemy and is messing with you and won't give it back. If they don't give it back can I sue/call the cops?

While filing a check bouncing case in the Judicial Magistrate Court, it is generally submitted that the case may be taken on file, issue summons to the accused and proceed as per the provisions of Law, and thus render justice.

It is discussed that unless specific prayers are mentioned, like, requesting to render justice by award of compensation and conviction and levy of fine, the court will not award conviction and compensation or fine.

Is it so?

Even if the specific prayers are not made at the time of filing the case, if the same is mentioned during the argument or in the written argument, will it not suffice.

what are the case laws connected with the above.

What are the latest provisions about award of compensation(quantum), fine and conviction?

Kindly clarify.

Thanks.

I called and they told me $215 which seems very high. They also say in order to get it off my record I will have to go to driving school which is another 100 bucks. Does this seem too hight? When my mom rolled a stop sign in a richer area of the city that I live, it was less by half of this amount!

Since this is my first traffic violation, what is the procedure to go about? Any ideas? Remember to be nice to me!

I live in Texas. I'm trying to figure out what I can legally do in this situation. I'll try to make this as short as possible. I worked part time for a lady that just started up a bakery. I quite after about two and a half months because she was not paying me on time and making me hold the checks until the funds where in her account. I deposited my second to last paycheck right before I called in and quit on the 10th of May. On May 16th the money was removed from my account which I found out on May 21st that she had put a stop payment on it. Her reason was, while I was working for her I sat on one of her bar stools and it broke (it was not that nice of a stool) so I told her I would try to have a friend fix it. I still have it in my posession as that friend was pregnant and on bed rest so there has been some delay with getting it fixed. So my previous boss is stating that she took the money back to pay for this $99 stool (my check was for more). Plus she still owes me another paycheck.

I am sooooo 'PISS*D' about this situation with this, unbelievably, dumb girl.

If I was to get a ban, drive again, go court, then drive again...would I get 23 days? And would I get my own space with no hassall from other inmates?

I DONT THINK SO? Why should she get any SPECIAL TREATMENT?

Im I the only one feelin this way? No wonder the worlds gone mad!

(thats my rant and rave for the day, see you again 2moro)

Our son was spending the night at his friends house. I had called the other boys guardian, before hand, to make sure it was o.k. for my son to spend the night and to make sure the guardian would be home to watch them. It turns out the guardian left the two 13 year old boys unattended for most of the night. They destroyed $9,000 dollars worth of our neighbors property. Two years later the judge wants me to come up with $4500 within 4 days or spend 30 days in jail. This doesn't seem fair to me since I didn't do anything wrong, and my son was in someone elses care at the time he commited the damage.

The corporation I work for has issued a few things that seem questionable. It is a company that provides durable medical equipment ie; hospital beds, walkers, wheelchairs, etc. They want us to sit in wheelchairs for half our work day and the second half provide wheelchair cushions to see how much more comfortable it is. Reason? So we sell more cushions. Is this allowable? It seems wrong but I can't put my finger on it. Also, I have been with the company one year, my coworker in this particular office four years. I received 8 days of training. Now corp. has issued a directive that we take a test of over 80 headings, we get two chances to get 100 % and then we get fired. Is this allowed? Any help is greatly appreciated.

(I know I just asked this, but i screw up writing the additional details, so i'm re-asking w/ said details...)

O.k. so about 2 weeks ago, my moms boyfriend, threatened that he was going to attack me, because my mother left him (and now went back...) I know most of the time he's all talk, but he does have a past record of assault and various other things. Now that she's back with this guy, a few family members told me I should get a restraining order (they also mentioned this notarized paper of some sort?) , and so, I was wondering if anyone out there that has a legal background could help me out, and sortta tell me If I can actually get something to keep him away from me, because He does have anger issues and he would actually harm me if he got angry enough. I just wanna make sure I can (legally) protect myself from him.
Thank you

I work in a pet food retail store, I am the ONLY female associate, and I work with about 10 other guys.

The guys and I are always joking around.. making sexual pet-food related jokes-- "that sure is a lot of beef you're holding", etc.

It's funny.

Today, one of the male associates took me aside and said to me "So when are you going to let me hit that". I was offended and I told the manager. The manager started yelling at the other guy about it instead of keeping it professional and talking about it calmly.

Even though we always joke, what he said to me was not a joke-- it went too far.

Now everyone is mad at me.

Since I'm the only female there, and since i'm able to "joke with the guys", according to the other associate i'm just "asking for it".

I quit my job tonight.


Did I do the right thing?? Do you think that since i'm able to joke, that i'm "asking" to be sexually harassed??

*sigh*... comfort me.

I live in New York i'm still under 18 and whatnot. so heres the story, a group of friends and i get tickets for trespass in a park after hours, but at the same time a rumor of a fire at a camping place was going around and fire fighters come to extinguish it.

my group of friends and i were near the place of fire when we got the tickets but we did not set the fire. though we did not have anything to do with the fire, the fire marshal wants to press charges on us for arson/attempted arson because we were around the area of when it happened

so my questions are: what proof does the marshal have against us when we had nothing to do with the fire and the fact that we were only charged with trespass?
:what are the charges if the marshal does convict us?

it's been 3 months since i got the trespass ticket
and was wondering what the marshal can do if we weren't charged of arson at the time?

and one more thing, the park was not damaged and nobody was hurt
