Law & Ethics - July 2007

Hi everyone i was simply trying to eat at the Costco Food Court. As I attempted to enter Costco through the entrance I was denied b/c i didnt have a membership. Now i had no problem with this rule of there's. Yet i reuqested to see some type of documentation which shows this is a rule. They scatterd around for 30 minutes looking for any way to get me out of there establishment. They found nothing !

Eventually the manger came out and told me allthough they had nothing which show'd I couldnt eat at there food court I had no right to be there. Was a violated my due rights ?


PS
The manger had the nerve to tell me that they were losing money when people eat at there food court !

Judging by the rising crime figures on guns?
It'll stop some crime, unfortuneately it will not stop all gun crime. but i still feel America needs to be more aware of selling guns as anyone could walk into a store and buy one.

Again i dont want Pro-Gun people going all ape over this so remain calm and anwser in a mature way.

if someone had a scuffle witha pregnant woman...he strikes her but cause no harm but she presses charges but she doesnt show up to court or anything can he still get charged? this is his second assault charge.....last one was in 2002 and was a misdemeanor and thats the only one he has. what do you think he will get charged with? jail time? or probation? witness (pregnant woman) is not willing to follow through with charges . she refuses to testify against him. there wasnt no serious damage done to victim. she had been stroke once on the arm. she refused medical care. he is scared because he didnt mean it. he ask me to post this . i would appreciate it if i got some answers. also state hasnt really filed charges yet. his pretrial officer told him the state hasnt found out what to charge him with. are they having a hard time putting a case together against him. the defendant is my brother.

I’m just curious if others feel the same way I do pertaining access of personal information via public records?

It seems that anyone can get access to your most personal information anonymously by using one of the many information brokers available on the internet and paying a fee for the investigative searches of “public record” databases. I know that in the instance of credit information, only those that have received permission via credit application, contract or some other form of written authorization may access this information; anyone else listed as making an inquiry that has no such authorization may be fined or sued. All other types of information appear to be available to who ever wants to snoop on you with total anonymity. I feel that legislation should be passed to prevent this unless the person of interest is notified in advance that a request for these types of reports has been requested and by whom.

Why ever time abortion comes up does a woman say i should be able to do whatever i want with my body?

So my question is if one stands by that position do they also support the legalization of all drugs?

or what they mean is "i think i should be given the right to do this with my body."

Marc Rich, a fugitive, was pardoned of tax evasion, after clemency pleas from Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, among many other international luminaries. Denise Rich, Marc's former wife, was a close friend of the Clintons and had made substantial donations to both Clinton's library and Hillary's Senate campaign. Clinton agreed to a pardon that required Marc Rich to pay a $100,000,000 fine before he could return to the United States. According to Paul Volcker's independent investigation of Iraqi Oil-for-Food kickback schemes, Marc Rich was a middleman for several suspect Iraqi oil deals involving over 4 million barrels of oil.[14]
Susan McDougal, who had already completed her sentence, was pardoned for her role in the Whitewater scandal; McDougal had served 18 months on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton's role.
Dan Rostenkowski, a former Democratic Congressman convicted in the Congressional Post Office Scandal. Rostenkowski had served his entire sentence.

Politicians, local councillors, police, social services and NHS managers, and civil servants - in fact anyone acting in any sort of 'official' capacity is likely to have a secret agenda designed to safeguard vested interests and will 'only be obeying orders' and lying. Can any of them be trusted? Do you believe any of them?

The limits to an employees right to privacy come in when they are doing it on company time and company equipment. Such as writing personal emails if an employee is suspected of doing this the employer could put in a keylogger and log in every thing that the employee has been typing. I think that business should put keyloggers on their systems also I think they should have a system that the phone calls are monitored and so forth. This helps against people chatting online on company time and making unnecessary phone calls.

I am a firefighter for the City of Houston. In addition to the 72 hours that I worked this past week for the fire department, (none of which was overtime) a bulletin was issued requiring me to attend a 4 hour midday training seminar on my day off. This extra training was NOT continuing education nor was it anything that had to do with retaining my certifications. Can the city punish me for not attending this training seminar?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This is the first amendment of th constitution. I'd like your thoughts on weather or not displaying the ten commandments or a picture of Jesus, Moses, a cross etc. is a violation of it. Do you think displaying a crescent moon, star of David, Buddah etc is a violation? Why do Christian symbols seem more offensive? Our laws are based apon Christian teaching (ten commandments), so why can't we display them?

Your boss asked you to come up with suggestions in writing on human resources related aspects to assess employees as she had just "discovered" that you have an HR qualification but you have been working for him for 3 and half years but not directly under him. While discussing this he mentions that they are under utilising me I should be doing something that is related to what I have studied or else if not they should give another position even if it means doing some courses to develop my skills and the company financing those courses.He even said that they will hire somebody else to be in my present position and I will train that person.

I did give him all that he wanted he never came back to me, that was a year ago. He has never came to our office since then but I saw him when we had our closing function in December, he never said anything, yes I wasnt expecting him to becuase we were there for social purposes..

What do I say now to him, where do I start, how do I say it?

This happened about a month ago. I worked for a company for only two days. The superinendant on the job laid me off. He did not make sure he had all the documents to legally employ me. The main bigwigs of his company got very angry at him and he laid me off to get rid of the issue or something... I was paid for the two days and still have my pay stubs. Is there anyway I could get compensation for something like this? I mean I was laid off and it was not my fault at all... I was a very hard worker. Any answer would be greatly appreciated.

Her husband's pardons, were simply routine exercise in the use of the pardon power, and none were aimed at protecting the Clinton presidency or legacy, she said.

Simply put, what is the value of protecting this "legacy"?

- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.

In front of my place there is a narrow common passageof 10feet.As per my late Fathers WILL which is probated the common passage belongs to the four owners of the houses and is specifically stated in the said Will that the common passage is to be used only for "egress" and "ingress".But,my neighbour is treating the common passage as belonging to them.All visitors and their tenant are parking their vehicles before our houses and visiting them.The complaints lodged with the Police has no effect.Therefore,the only alternative I feel is to resort to prosecute them under the relevant provisions of the Cr.pc.Can anyone help me as to how I should proceed to take action as contemplated?

Ok, I'm being harassed by an ex. Last summer, I dated her for 3 months. She was 16, I had just turned 18. With the fallout again, I'm worried she's going to try to pull criminal charges on me. I talked with a deputy, and he told me I could be charged. But, I read on the WV state site, 16 is the age of legal consent. And in order to really charge me, they'd have to prove beyond a doubt she was forced. But she was not, she was the one who started it. And there is a part stating that she must be at least 4 years younger than I am in order to press the 3rd degree assault. Her mother knew, everyone knew. They have not threatened with legal action, but with this, should I worry? I have proof she's been harassing me and that any legal action would be malicious since it's been a year since anything has happened. Do I consult with a lawyer, or should I not worry? She's never even mentioned bringing up a criminal case, but I'd not put it past her.
