True story in Maryland. A woman has terminated 4 of her pregnancies and is facing criminal charges. She could have gotten 4 abortions and not been prosecuted. The law in Maryland states that a person can be prosecuted if they terminate a viable pregnancy. Isn't that what doctors do during abortions? Doesn't make sense.

I was debating with a friend the other day the legal options I have in the case that someone breaks into my house. Can you shoot someone with a firearm that breaks into your home if they are not carrying a weapon of any kind? What is over excessive force?

Let's say a village had an event each year, where members of the village went to a local hall and had a party. There's a non-compulsory donation of three quid on the door to a local charity. It's bring your own alcohol, so there are no staff working there.

Is it smoke free? Most of the stuff I've read seems to say it depends on whether it's open to the public or not, but if necessary it can be restricted to certain people (even if there are a couple of hundred of them!)

What do people think?

Just the other day I gave my old camera and empty memory card to another employer at work. I thought I was doing a nice thing since I had just bought a new camera. The next day he comes in and says that I'm going to be mad at him. I ask what for? He then goes to tell me that he has a program that can recover old pictures from a memory car. I feel that not only my generosity was betrayed but that he broke some kind of law. We work at an internet company and he knows all the dirty little tricks. I feel that some type of right that I have has been crossed. I don't need to tell you what kind of pictures they were, I'm sure you get the idea. Do I need to get a lawyer involved since this was done illegally? Or am I just over reacting because he broke the trust and invaded a privacy that was deleted?

Perverted-Justice (A vigilante organization) is being sued left and right by numerous people and organizations for their tactics. The latest is 100 Million Dollars for the Texas Incident.

What do you think about them going down in a ball of flames and having to declare bankruptcy? Their vigilante organization is basically being shut down because of their own pride.

It's been 27 years since I was in college, and now I'm going back. They are demanding my shot records. My pediatrician has been deceased for 20+ years, and I don't have a clue who took over his practice, if anyone. The Health Department said they can't help me, since my shots weren't given there. Everyone keeps telling me that I can get the shots (MMR)again. I'd have to get one shot, then one month later, get a booster shot, and prove to the college that I got it done. The other alternative (which is what I'm probably going to choose) is to go to my family doctor (or lab) and get a blood test, showing immunity (which will prove I got the immunizations when I was a child). Here's my question.... Why is they so adamant about this? No one can (or will) answer this question for me. I've been just fine, and don't want to be forced to take these shots. My daughter was also required the same thing, but it was simple, because I have her shot records. My parents are deceased

Times have changed now. The constitution provides enough rights for the criminals and the people accused in criminal prosecutions.

These days my human rights friends tend to act as apologists for murderers, rapists and end up defending people like Ted Bundy.

This is the (theoretical) case: two near cousins having foreign citizenship and living in their country travel to USA. They are legally married under their national law (that, in the case, is also the law of their usual home).

Q1: their marriage has legal force in USA also? or a US/State law forbidding near cousin from having sex/marrying each other prevent also foreing law to take effect in USA ?

Q2: they can be criminally prosecuted in US for being married ?

Q3: they can be criminally prosecuted in US for having sex while staying in US ?

Sorry for my English (advices about a correct use of your language are welcome).

I understand there will be alot of answers that involve the moral reasons why polygamy is illegal, but our laws are supossed to be based on "moral" reasons.... just criminal ones. (Kind of like same sex marriages)

So, answer me this, why on earth is polygamy illegal? Who are we to mandate that a man in Utah can't have 2 wives?

I struggle with this right.
I am working in a mental health team and drugs companies often lay on lunches and dinners with guest speakers to talk about various issues in mental health work. They are not promoting their products per se but of course they do pay for food and booze! All this when there are people worlwide who cannot afford essential medicines while these same companies rake in massive profits.
I feel kinda bad for eating the food - what do you think?

Why does our judicial system incarcerate so many Americans(more than any other country on earth); yet allows foreigners to waltz across the border with no consequence?
Do they have more compassion for others than their own citizens? And why shouldn't we revolt against their tyranny?

There is a legal term for this I just cant remember it.
This word means that if the judge finds that the plaintiff is suing as revenge then the case is dismissed.

My ex never agreed in writing to help with college but he had said he would. Through the years I never pushed for all the child support I could get because I thought he would help with college. He paid her room deposit, took her to register and then the very next day said he couldn't pay that much and asked if she could go to a cheaper school. She found a cheaper school and then the night before graduation he backed out of all help. He paid his last child support in June and that has been it. He knows she takes monthly medication and he will not help with those expenses either. She has now chose a community college and is working to pay her rent, etc. The worst part is he sent his two step kids out of state to a private Christian college and paid for their cars, cell phones, laptops, etc. But his own he will not help with. Since it was understood all along that he was going to help and now he backed out, can I take him back to court for some type of fraud or something?
