I have been out of the country for almost 8 years. I came back last summer but only this summer I found out my sister has my SSN and is using it. I'm afraid she has done something illegal in my name because I found out I'm listed at her address one month after my 18th birthday. When I confronted her she went nuts I guess because I found out. I went on to SSN.gov to get my statement and they said that the information I gave was not correct when thats my information. I don't know what she has done and I am scared to death. Even when I tried to get my annual credit report it says I took it when I didn't.
I have told my father of the situation and he is taking it lightly. oh and blaming me how can this be my fualt? I was a kid who was sent to school over seas. All my documents was with my mother not me. My sister stole them when my mother passed away. I asked her about them and she said she didn't see them but she was lieing. oh my god god help me I could go to jail for something I haven't done! I have never done anything against the law. I always follow the law

After finding out recently that Maxine Carr is not only living under 24 hour police guard in a nice (free) house in my town, I am disgusted to discover that my tax payments are going towards the police guarding her while she also works here as well!
Why should I find this acceptable and why do the authorities think that this would not be offensive to people in the area?
I for one don't want her here but I would be interested to know what other people think?

How many hours and pounds could have been saved over the years if we could cut to the chase a lot faster? It's proven to be pretty effective. Why doesn't it get used in questioning suspects? Is this considered an infringement on human rights - getting folk to tell the truth?

I would like your opinion as to this practice being done by U.S. authorities when it comes to “catching” child predators.
I have seen many episodes of the “investigate news” coverage ‘Dateline’ program where a deviant pervert (on behalf of the program) goes online to pose as an underage child to then “entice” the other pervert which is a moron pedophiliac.
My question is this; what does this do to weed out the real pedophiles on the internet?
Isn’t this entrapment, isn’t it obvious that a pedophile will go for a child?
Deep down inside I loathe these pedophiles as much as a loathe these pervs who go online attempting to entrap people left to right… I mean, how do we know these undercover idiots are not into illegal porn themselves?
Is this moral to the taxpayers is my actual question?
**NOTE, BEFORE SOME TROLLING IDIOT WHO’S PROBABLY INTO KID PORN THEMSELVES ASNWERS BY EVEN REMOTELY ACCUSING ME OF THE UNTHINKABLE, GO F YOURSELF YOU SICK IDIOT, GET A LIFE***

Thank you all.

.....We have no ACLU chapter here. Can the law even be challenged under The U.S. Constitution or any other State or Federal Statute?

Hell, I live in a "dry" county (no alcohol sales) and have to drive to a "wet" county 60 miles away just to buy beer. I work Monday through Saturday and Sunday is the only day off I have to make a "beer run". This seems to me like dicrimination. Everyone knows that the reason that sales are prohibited on Sunday is because that is what the "Prohibitionist Christians" that run this state want. Why else would there be no sales on Sunday. I could go to Texas and purchase 80 miles away. They allow sales between 12:00p.m.-7:00p.m. on Sundays. Still a blue law, just more lax. The big problem with that is that then I'm breaking the law transporting the beer across state lines. It's bad enough that I can't go to the local convenience store down the block. But I understand that this county is "dry". But that is 24/7, cut and dry, no discrimination there.

My ex husband will pick up our child for his visits, but when it's time to bring her back he calls and says he has no transportation. I have to find someone to go get my child from wherever he is!!

Shouldn't this be his responsibility?

Is this kidnapping if he won't bring my child back home after his hours are up?

What can I do?

I am supposed to have sole legal and sole physical custody. This is a recently entered order for a visitation schedule and my child isn't being returned unless I retrieve them!

Since I don't drink and drive, I don't fear them.

But I got pulled over in Las Vegas, and I thought they were pretty rude, even though I was cooperative.

I thought the Constitution was supposed to protect us from this kind of thing?

Help! I recently had my patient privacy violated by my dentists wife (also his office manager).

She told my mother (note that I am an adult with a family of my own) that I was seriously past due on my account and need to take care of it to avoid legal action. She also told my mother that she could get in a great deal of trouble for divulging the information.
I indeed was past due, but for a mistake on the offices part and was unaware of the late status. What should I do? I am furious and feel very angry. This was none of my mothers business.
