Say you have a diagnosed mental illness, and after intense psychological testing the courts were advised that you were NOT a danger to the public, but if you were sent to jail you would be a serious danger to yourself. Say they sent you to jail anyways, for a short term of like 30 days, and you dont eat or drink for several days....what would the jail do?

I have a condition in one of my eyes that reduces my vision to 20/200 in that eye. I can see fine out of my other eye and I have been driving with a New York license for 7 years. I recently moved to California and their state laws require 20/40 vision in both eyes to obtain a driver's license. I would like to know if I am able to get a license or if I have to do anything specific to obtain one.

I have worked at my current employer for 4 years. Very good attendence, very good performance, top notch employer. Two months ago I was the victim of an auto accident. In that time I have missed about 100 hours from work. Missed work was due to doctors appt., physical therapy appts., psychologist appts., all of which I had a doctors note each time. The other times I was out was from not being able to get outta the bed from my lower back pain. All this they are aware of and they haven't said anything to me other than I hope you get to feeling better. Then they had a meeting with me today & wanted to know what's going on & what can be done to help my production. They commented that I have always been a great employee but now it's going down hill and they claim they understand because of the tragic accident I was in but the way they sounded is I better shape up or they'll ship me out. They said I need to get with HR & show them all my medical notes. I am scared. Can they fire me?

I have a friend who is married to an illegal immigrant and he was just popped by the US Border Patrol in Rochester, NY. Now, he is being held at a detention facility in Batavia, NY. (Buffalo area). We have exhausted all avenues in trying to set a bond for him and his bond is 2500 USD but, these people are wanting houses, land and what not that exceeds the bond limit and this immigrant does not have a spot on his record. He is married and does have a child in the US. These people are not releasing any form of information to the aide of his release. We do not have 3000 + USD plus the bond amount to cover this. If there is a bondsman out there, please give me some kind of insight as to how we can get him released. We were told not to go there because they may in turn "still" not give any information. We are stuck in a rock and a hard place and we called all the necessary phone numbers. His wife is ready to commit suicide because she cannot get a hold of him. I need answers, please.

Illegal immigrants get employment while people who are born here are subjected to back ground check(s), It's a disturbing trend and If you have a minor conviction you are bar from employment.

So I was mailing off a letter, and I was thinking, "man, there are a billion different stamp designs out there. I could easily take any picture and print it out on a blank sticker and mail it off." Ok, obviously that would be Mail Fraud and therefore a Federal Offence not worth committing, but wondering if the post office really has any way of identifying fake stamps. They don't seem to be encoded with any anti-counterfeit designs.

A 12 year old 7th grade boy mooned a school bus with 7th & 8th graders onboard as well as the driver. He was suspended for 2 days for sexual harassment as well as indecent exposure! The school considered expulsion, but decided the 2 days off from school was punishment enough.

Is this a just or unjust punishment? Should the student have been expelled from school? Have you ever done it?

I was in an automobile accident, seemed limited with little damage. Yet, the other party have hired a lawyer and my bodily injury liability is 15k/30k per incident. If the other party wants to come after my assets, are there any protected such as 401k, current auto, etc. What is the best way to protect myself? I'll probably get a lawyer soon but thought I'd ask here to get a sense of what I'm up against.
Thanks for any advice from someone who might have been through similar.

A new neighbor in the apartment complex was waking me up every morning at 5 AM. After 2 weeks I decided to write him a note (very polite and not finger pointing). Because I never see him due to different schedules, I decided to put the note in the mailbox. He said that was a federal felony. Any other oppinions? Thank you.

Tom’s mother Mary passed away several years ago. One day, during a conversation between Tom and his friend Zeke it was learned that the Social Security Administration (SSA) was never informed of Mary’s death. Apparently, Tom convinced the funeral director not to notify the SSA. Zeke decided it was his civic duty to tell the SSA.

Tom was required to repay the SSA the total amount they deposited into a joint account held between Tom and his mother. This account remained active until the SSA advised the bank. In addition, Tom had to pay the SSA interest and a penalty. This angered Tom to a point where he needed psychiatric help and he sees the doctor usually twice per week.

Tom is suing his friend Zeke for five million dollars claiming mental anguish, insomnia, weight loss, chronic headaches, and general deteriorating health.

There was a big hole in our deck, for more than a year and I got hurt on it (there was a railing but it did not block the entire opening. Should my landlord (in NYC) be required to reimburse me for my medical bill? She doesn't think she should; but because it was caused on her property from construction being done I think she should. Who is right?

My friend was hired a month ago and with all the benefit information, they forgot to include the employee handbook. Last week the h.r. assistant came to her to sign a document stating she received and looked over the handbook. She throught nothing of it, since she loved the job. The following Monday morning she was told she was being let go, due to budget cuts. This was a huge shock and disappointment. Does really matter if she never read the handbook?
