Hi I got a speeding ticket for going 59 in 45 zone in a local road in Michigan. It was a new car and I didn't know if speeds up so fast. It is my first speeding ticket over 10 yrs of driving. The fine is $115 and point 3. I went to see the matistrate and he said he can't do anything except making an appointment for a trial if I wanted to. I contacted a lawyer and he says that it's very likely that he can reduce/clear my points and his fee is $375. Is there a chance that I can do that in a court without a lawyer or I better off hiring him?

I would like some advice please, I was walking with my family on a public footpath which runs adjacent to the local golf course, all of a sudden I get hit (very hard) on the back of the head with a ball. Cut a long story short there was lots of blood and I had to go to A&E to get my head glued. There is a fence between the path and course but obviously not high enough.
Where legally do I stand?
Trying to track the golfer down but he didn't know it was him (he may not of had insurance anyway), the club say it is not there responsibility, accident and claims people don't seem that interested as it must not be easy money for them??
I am detirmined to a) get the fence hightened b) compensation for nearly knocking a hole in my skull. (it could be a child next time).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
What gets me is that OK if i'm on the course what do you expect? but not in a public footpath.

Thanks

If an employee was entitled to an annual raise (on their doh) and the employer did give the raise until about a month later, should that employee be entitled to back pay for the time that he/she didn't receive their raise?

I know its against the law but is it considered a felony or a misdemeanor. What is the punishment for a first offense? What is the minimum punishment and the maximum punishment. Is it taken as seriously as purchasing illegal street drugs or is it more serious?

i really don't understand the law. I'm not being a smart *** but if someone is found not guilty why would they pay money? Isn't that kind saying they are guilty? I just would like my question answered seriously not by some smart *** who doesn't know what they are talking about. I'm not deciding wheather or not he is guilty or innocent, i would just like some anwsers.Thank You.

Well of course we all know by now that former football great O J Simpson has been arrested for armed robbery in Las Vegas, with his cohorts, apparently holding up some people, trying to get some of his personal property back, or so he claims was stolen from him. He has been denied bail and sitting in a jail cell because the judge considers him a flight risk. The media claims he could get up to 30 years for his crime. I find this quite comical, because some power team
attorneys will certainly come into the case and rescue him and he'll beat the rap, IMHO. What do you think?

Stick up for Vick and O J proclaiming they are innocent and being "picked on" in the face of mountains of damning evidence, supporting them regardless of the outcome !
Take Micheal Vick
The reason people were outraged by this was because he killed dogs. If Ben Roethlisberger or Brett Favre had done it, the reaction would have been the same, I guarantee you. The difference is, had Ben Roethlisberger or Brett Favre done this, you wouldn't see white supporters rallying behind them.
Take O J
Now we here from some in the black community that his crime is akin to spitting on the sidewalk !!
Do people actually think that toting guns and going into a man's room, threatening him with death, confiscating items from the room, is no worse than spitting on a sidewalk??!!
What kind of country would America be, if anyone who felt wronged could get a mob of heavyweights and guns and TAKE what they think they are entitled to?
That is Gangsta crap-----and should NOT BE TOLERATED

I study a few martial arts, but seem to be getting conflicting messages from tutors about when it is alright to use what I'v been taught.
For example, 1 Tutor said that if someone pulled a knife out and *threatend* to use it, you can (if you want to risk it) take the from them by force as a pre-emptive measure, whilst another tutor told me you can only defend yourself if they actully attack you first.

I would really like to know the UK laws about self defence so that I know if I am ever in that situation (or one like it) that I will not be charged by the police for assult as well.

PLEASE NO USA ANSWERS (your laws dont apply in UK!)

I think it's not.
I think if you are found Not Guilty in crimminal court than a)that's it you can not be sued for the same crime or b)the burden of proof shoul be made the same as a criminal trial



What do you think?

Having heard the story about Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers and his lawsuit against God this morning, I have to applaud him and his reasoning for this lawsuit. There ARE way too many frivolous lawsuits in this country. Take for example, the woman who sued a fast food chain because she was stupid and placed a cup of hot coffee between her legs and burned herself. Shame on the judge who heard this case! Also, people suing cigarette companies. Hello! The dangers of smoking have been common knowledge for well over 25 years, so anyone who picks up the dirty habit nowadays, has absolutley no excuse.
Can anyone else think of other frivolous lawsuits?
