I was watching Dateline to catch a predator, So if there are children out there talking to adults where are the parents when they are online. I know most of the cases the children aren't children, but this really bothers me, is this entrapment by the law? And how can you be quilty when your not talking to a child and haven't committed a crime?

The Crime Gun Identification Act would require that starting in 2010, new models of semi-automatic handguns be equipped with technology that allows police to match bullet shells found at a crime scene to the handgun that fired the bullets. This technology, known as "microstamping" would substantially enhance law enforcement’s ability to rapidly identify and link shell casings found at a crime scene to the individual semi-automatic handgun from which it was fired.

The vote this year in the Senate is expected to be extremely close. WHY? Do some people care more about the money they get from the gun lobby than they do about the people they are supposed to represent? Why would anyone in their right mind be against a common-sense bill like this?

My brother is in the Marine Corp and will Graduate in Nov. from boot camp. He will miss his birthday while he is away. When he is on leave i was thinking of bringing him to Canada as a gift. Will he be allowed to leave and will he need a passport? He doesn't have a passport currently and I'm pretty sure he has no way to obtain one while in boot camp. Should I continue to plan the trip or think of something else? Please Help!!!

I recently got an advisory letter from the Illinois SOS about two recent speeding tickets on my license. I received both tickets in Michigan but live in Illinois. I read that there is an agreement between most states called the Interstate Driver License Compact where they will share information regarding certain types of traffic convictions, and reports on traffic violations and suspensions are forwarded to the home state of the nonresident. However I also read that that Michigan does not participate in this agreement. So how/why did my Michigan tickets end up on my driving record if there is no exchange of information between Michigan and Illinois?

Hi there,

Someone said this down the pub the other day and I was wondering if it was true.

If you are caught drink driving on the way home and you suspect you are over the you can refuse a breathe test. Once you are back at the station you can ask for your lawyer to be present? This can help you 'sober up' and pass the blood test.

I in no way condone drink driving and think it would be a bit of a loop hole in the law if this were possible.

Thanks,

It amazes me how fast, and how viciously, we as a people turn on celebrities the moment they are accused of a crime. Yes, we adore celebrities and hold them to a higher standard, but does that justify crucifying them if they do something wrong? In no way am I supporting a person that has broken federal law; I'm merely questioning the morality of excessive and unnecessary media coverage, as well as the fiery and opinionated personal criticism, that these people get by just being famous and committing a crime.

Mike Vick's recent dog-fitting incident, for example, received an all-day special on ESPN, despite lacking additional information that would warrant such coverage. Additionally, there are plenty of opinionated, and shallow, questions on Y!A that seem to attack Mike Vick as a person rather then question the legal aspect of the case:

Heres a summary of what has been happening..

Yesterday morning, I received a call from Continental Warranty, at 8am, I was still in bed, and was not very happy to be woken up so early after a long night.

I answered the phone, and once I found out it was a telemarketer, I hung up, I got the company he works for and his name (Robert).

After I hung up on him, he kept calling back, after 9 missed calls, I was pissed, I was trying to sleep, and he just kept calling. I finally answered, and and told him to Stop Calling and Put me on their Do Not Call list, and hung up.

He kept calling back, since yesterday, I have a total of ~30 received calls from that number.

From what I have read, this is considered harassment, and I can sue them for $500. Now is that per call, or total?

If its $500 per call, that means $15000, right?

Would it be hard to get a lawyer to help me with this case?

Is it even worth the hassle to sue them?

Lets say you pay for one movie, and when that movie is over, you stay in the movie theatre and go into a movie that is not crowded at all (without paying for it).
Ok, obviousely this is wrong, but the question is is this considered stealing. Morally wrong: yes. Stealing:?

And there may be a few conditions,
Say that the theatre is no longer selling tickets for the movie you are going into because it has been half an hour since it has started.
Say there is only like 2 people in the whole theatre and the odds are there is no way the theatre is filling.

The bush administration is trying to push federally mandated limits to dozens of STATE health care plans, isn't this the kind of meddling that conservatives claim to oppose?

I guess it serves those kids right, if they want athisma medicine they better get a job like the rest of us! (so long as they don't join a union). I guess if you're born into a poor family, you deserve to suffer without cold medicine or proper vaccinations! Don't worry about it, because all poor people are "libtards", right?

Today's republicans are the WORST america has to offer.

The agreement was that he would get the loan in his name. One year later it is still in my name and he is about to go into the Army, so I took the car back. I have given him plenty of time to get things taken care of. Now he said he is going to sue me for the money he paid on it. Can he do this??

On 5/26/2007, I mailed my monthly rent check to my landlord for rent due on 6/1/2007. On 6/5/2007 I received a five day notice from the company stating that they’d never received my rent check. I was then instructed that I had to obtain a cashier’s check, or that they would start eviction proceedings, which costs $7, and was assessed late fees in the amount of $19.40, because, again, they said they’d never received my check. On 8/10/2007, the original check I sent them was cashed, sending my account into a negative dollar amount, which caused $75 in insufficient funds fees to be assessed to my checking account. I contacted Bonheur Realty regarding this, asking for some sort of compensation, because obviously this was an error on their part. There is no other avenue set up for us to send our rent checks, and if the post office loses them, or the bank makes an error, it is not right that the tenants have to bear the burden of these mistakes. Am I due back all the fees I've incurred?
