I have met once (briefly) with my lawyer. We are meeting again sometime in the next two weeks. Doesn't my lawyer have the right to know what the evidence is and don't I have the right to know now that I have retained her? Everyone (within the court system) that I have called to try to learn about this pending (felony - criminal) case refuses to talk to me as it is brought about by the "Grand Jury" and all information has been "sealed."

That question is not to suggest that any of you or your responses are any less valuable than an attorney's but I don't actually get to sit down and speak with my attorney for the first time to lay out all the multitudes of facts about this case until next week. Even though there are many details, I have laid out the most important facts as far as the violation of my rights. I would really like some basic facts and info. about civil rights and how far and how long govn. agencies are allowed to be in your life if they don't have current just cause to be there. Are they allowed to discuss your personal business and any facts in your case without having a court order that gives them the permission to do so. Can a representative demand you follow their orders to do something when you haven't done anything against the law or have been prosecuted by the law and found guilty of said crime. Are there any takers that know Juvenile law that can help me tonight?

I asked this question because I got caught and complain from my present bosses while I looked for internal job of the company and somebody called for reference check. Bosses complained why I didn't tell them before going to the interview. I believe, normally when people look for job, they don't need to tell their present boss until they make sure they get a new job. Am I right?

When she was two years old, her mother died. Subsequently her father married another woman. They have two children, one son and another daughter. Whenever the lady (now 40 years old) questions about her share to the property, her father evades and her step mother begins to scold her. My question is: does the only surviving child( duaghter) of first marriage have any right to propery of her father, and if so, how much?

Typical night, I work as security for a local club. I go to work tonight and told I am suspended from a previous matter a few nights prior. Scenario at hand, a few days ago I purchased a drink for someone underage(knowingly).

The problem; the management knows underage drinking goes on and when we work we try and curb this as much as possible. What really pisses me off is the fact that the guy who suspended me knowingly lets/watches girls drink underage there(not saying that it's frequent but it does happen). I realize what I did was wrong and accept it but what I can't get over is the fact that the SAME guy who suspends me sits there and lets others get away with it.

Do I let it go or does anyone have any intelligent recourse of action?

To clarify, I have put out a ton of info. and questions about my issue with DFCS here in good ol' Georgia. I did not lose custody of my son because I was doing drugs---They had an anonymus complaint which did lead to me failing a drug screen. I was served with papers to go before a Juvenile Judge 3 days before I was to be in court to answer these allegations. This happened the week of Christmas this past year. I was not prepared legally or otherwise and didn't want to risk my son being thrown into GA's foster care system. I voluntarily transferred guardianship of him to my brother to ensure that didn't happen to him. I did my homework, petitioned the Probate Court to reverse guardianship back to me as I was ready to go before a Juvenile Judge if necessary. DFCS, as well as my brother, had 14 days to file a petition challenging the reversal which would have said they believed my son's welfare was at stake if I was his guardian. Neither did. No new complaints just harassment.

Look to my other details in the same question. The house was right next to a golf course with the grass from the course connecting to the homeowners and their was no fence. You are idiots who respond like wise peeps. What if we came from the golf course grass onto the homeowners grass when we damaged it?

Situation: Me and a friend were golfing on a hot day, we saw a house with the sprinklers on and decided to drive through them. Little did we know the sod had just been set and we ruined a 5 foot section. Cops were called and asked if we had been drinking which we said yes but no test or ticket was issued, though the police officer took our license #'s down along with our names. 1. Can we be charged with a DUI later down the road? 2. Are we responsible for the lawn that we destroyed (the whole lawn or just what we messed up)? 3. What would happen if we didn't do anything and refused to redo the lawn?

Would it be illegal to ask a question such as the following: (reason explained after the question)

"How many of you are aware that, as a juror, you not only have the right to judge on the facts of a case, but have the absolute authority to judge on whether or not the laws in the case are just or not, despite what the judge may tell you during your deliberation?"

and/or

"how many realize you are constitutionally allowed to dismiss a case based on anything, including not liking how the officer acted, or based on you not agreeing if something should be illegal?"

and/or

"how many of you realize it is not permitted by law, for an officer of the court to inform you of your RIGHTS do dismiss a case based on any reason you see fit?"

----------------
These are all technically "questions", not statements of information, very similar to common tactics used during jury selection. The difference is, this pertains to "jury nullification", which is a fine line.

Do you think that prisons:
1) Give too much to inmates (i.e. meals, exercise plans, education options, surgeries, free dental and medical, etc.)?
2) Are a huge cost to the American taxpayer?

Also, do you think that the government should:
1) Be more lenient on convicted NON-VIOLENT drug users and reduce their sentences as to make more room in prisons for more serious offenders?
2) Revamp the entire prison system as to be harder on violent offenders, serious threats to the American people, murderers, etc. and to be more lenient on those who did not do something that is of serious threat to other Americans (i.e. drug use (as I said before), theft (not armed robbery, just theft), etc.
3) revoke the "Three Strikes" rule for repeat drug offenders?

People say that if a place of business wants an applicant to pursue because they want to see if you are persistent, follow through etc..&they want to be bugged a little bit, but for all you know you it could be scaring them or making them feel threatened?Shouldn't you be afraid to keep calling back like that every two or three weeks and come in like once a month to follow up, when there are conditions like certain people applying for jobs just frustrated the manager; because of how they look, act, makes people feel threatened by them, makes people want to be extremely uncommunicative, etc.., or they simply do not like the person &want them out as quick as possible when they come in for an interview? Managers are lying about a position being open or not, and being vague about who does the hiring & throw them off on how to contact them, and embarrass and humiliate in front of everyone else in the restaurant? So if you persist, what might the result be under these conditions?

I don't think so, since I hear so many ramble on about this person or that person's free speech rights being violated. People, the right to free speech describes only your relationship to the state. It does not mean your speech is free of consequences. For example, you can walk up to your boss and call him an ******, and the state will not arrest you for it. However, you may get fired for it.

Hopefully that clears it up for the whiners who wail about rights being violated when in fact none have.

No charge, and you are welcome.

It appears that the "hidden-agenda" of the non-profit organization that I have worked for the past 17 years is adding workload to the 55 age year old employees. I have gotten outstanding yearly evals, won several awards at the highest levels, been promoted several times, etc. They recently doubled my work area and client load to cover the increasing demands of our organization and have not hired additional help for over 10 years in my profession. If I get "laid-off" because I cannot keep up with the often 12 hour work-shifts that this job is now requiring plus the 24 hour on-call required do I have any recourse? My younger colleagues have not had an increase in their workload assigned. PLEASE HELP!!

property. I was at a pool party thrown by the Condo. Asso. where I live. I drank a beer. I was not drunk, unruly in any way, as a matter of fact had a nice peaceful time. I have nothing legally or otherwise that prevents me from drinking a beer. The party was funded by the dues that each of us to live here. Un-beknown to me, one of my neighbors apparently already knew ABOUT me even though I had never met half of the people at this party. This neighbor, (still not positive which one it was as again these people were all new to me), went to the DFCS worker, who does not live here nor was at this party, and told her she saw me drinking a beer. This DFCS worker went to my attorney 5 days after the party and told him she's coming after me as I had been "spotted" drinking a beer at a party this past weekend. I know I have recourse against the DFCS worker and am pursueing that. Do I have recourse against the Asso./neighbor this as this was done with the intent to harm me and my son
