The ticket was for driving around a cone, but the officer's sloppy hand writing was incorrectly entered into the computer system by the Los Angeles Superior court, and both my drivers license number (by one number) and the spelling of my middle name were incorrect (by one letter), if i go to court will i be found guilty? will the case be thrown out? should i just pay the stupid ticket and be done with it? I haven't called a lawyer yet, should I? I would love to not have to pay the ticket and to go to traffic school.

My son and his friends went to someone's house and he (my son) stayed in the car while his friends bashed this girl's mailbox, what can happen to him? He wants to become a cop and I don't want him in trouble. He is 17 and never been grounded. He is always a good kid, so this really floors me. Can he go to jail?

I sent a piece of rare electronic equipment for repair several years ago. I paid the technician (who is out of state) for the repair; however, he has never return shipped the item. I have been in e-mail and phone contact over the years, but none of the pressure that I have asserted has helped. What legal options do I have to get this item returned to me? How should I go about doing this?

I'm the safety trainer for our manufacturing plant and the office manager for our corporate office. Everytime I want to go to the plant for somethng my boss says things like I should go there without and escort because they will think the Plant Manager just wants to talk to a pretty girl. Now the bosses wife asked me to go over there and have a b-day card signed by everyone at the plant. So, I called the plant manager to ask if it was all right to bring it by and he said ok. I went there and the guys came over to sign it. The plant manager was all pissed off because the guys stopped working to sign and told me they have too many exuses to stop working and now I know I'm going to be chewed out because its my fault for being a girl and being at the plant. Come on, I'm 30 years old and am a proffesional. Should I be made to feel responsible??? Is this a sexist company??? Is this harrastment or descrimination???

Constantly I hear bullshit of Pro this Anti that. This country was built on the foundation that we are all equal and different, and majority of good solutions are middle way solutions, not this all or nothing moron mentally. This country was built on ethics, which is becoming way to confused with morality. Anyone can claim morality, but it takes an intelligent mind to understand ethics.

My boss is evil...so I quit almost 2 weeks ago..I was supposed to be working up until Saturday, and then help her out from there when I could. The reason I quit is bc I never get paid on time, like a week late, she calls me when I am on my way to work(a 30 min drive) and tells me she doesn't need me to come in, or then I am only there for like 3 hours...when I was supposed to be working a 60 hour week, and am now only gettting like 20 hours at the most! So here is my problem...she owes me for last week, when she couldn't afford to pay me but could afford to pay the personal assistant, pay to have her basement remodled, and have her lawn mowed! So she owes me for that and then up until today bc she doesn't need me the rest of the week...I need the money now!!!! I have 4 bills due now....how do I tell her, I want my money this minute and I'm not going to be able to help out in the future as originally planned?

Before the last Federal Minimum Wage hike, the standard hourly minimum rate was $5.15, the standard hourly minimum rate for employees earning tips was $2.77.

I cant seem to find any information regarding the new rate (if there is one) for employees earning tips!

HELP PLEASE!

Pre-paid waste sacks and wheelie bins with microchips could be introduced to make householders pay for their rubbish under plans outlined by council leaders. People could also be charged according to the size of the wheelie bin they choose to use. What do you think of these proposals?

There is no law in the world that says you HAVE to pay income taxes. A company paid 50,000 for someone to find the law and they didnt have to pay anybody anything because to this day noone can find a real law stating we have to.

I will be taking the police exam and I tried to get an approved day off but since it will be the weekend before a holiday I was denied. I really want to be a police officer and would hate to miss the opportunity to advance my career. I need a really good excuse. I recently had a knee injury and was out of work for a week. I do not want to call out sick. Is there any other creative excuse I can use?

I was just given notice that a mechanic's lien has been filed on my new condo. Attached to the notice is a bill from the claimant to the builder of the condos. The bill was dated September of 2006 (while the builder still owned the condo) and the lien was just filed in August of 2007 (eight months after I had purchased the condo).

I know what a mechanic's lien is because I work in the construction industry and our company files them against people who don't pay us. Is there anything I need to do about this? The builder is the one responsible for the bill, but a mechanic's lien does not motivate them to pay the bill because they no longer own the property. I don't plan to sell the condo anytime soon, but I'm worried about what will happen if the builder doesn't pay the bill.

I was in the middle lane of traffic. it was backed up for about 2 miles. so i drove up the right lane (2 miles back it is NOT posted right turn only). theres a toyota minivan of some sort in front of me. the light turns green, and he floors it and cuts the guy off in the middle lane (merges in the intersection so he can continue straight. a real dick head move to cut off traffic) well, i was proceeding and about to turn right, when i look to my left and see no one in the middle lane. there was a guy a few car lengths back who didnt go so i signalled got over into the middle lane, and went straight. the cop pulls me over and issues a citation for "driving straight through a right turn only lane". but i merged into the middle lane BEFORE the intersection, it was unethical sure, but certainly not illegal. hes saying i merged IN the intersection. its now a he said he said case im going to have with the cop with judge. is there even a point, or will the judge see it his way?

Please dont confuse my argument, as I intend not to defend Micheal Vick's bonehead display of ignorance, due to his position in society. He's an idiot. What does bother me is that , animals are killed often in sport....Game hunting etc....,

Now, is it me, or is the fact that "dogfighting" is unregulated by the Feds (no profit for Uncle Sam) the only reason anyone would be converted into a "criminal". If dogfighting were a regulated sport then, this wouldn't be an issue.

I take the stance that, our society is over regulated by over 60 million statuates that create criminals and we are treated as if we aren't capable of governing ourselves ....almost like "we have to be saved from ourselves". I ask...what "man" or "men" are qualified to regulate us.....and who allowed this?

Are we punks here to have allowed this form of government to operate at the current capacity?.........or do we feel the same way about ourselves

I rent a room in an apartment from the owner and the owner's brother rents the other room. There was a burglary and mostly my stuff was stolen. The owner made a claim on the home and contents insurance but they don't want to pay for my things stolen from the rented room.

Does home and contents insurance cover items in a rented room?
