I have an incident with a couple officers. You know how it goes, "I look like someone who just robbed someoe"... I never appeared threatening but they slammed my face against the car, put me in handcuffs, and slammed my ankle in the door 3 times. My ankle hurts, but it will be fine in a week or so im sure. But the attorney I talked to said it had to be a serious injury with broken bones or surgery for them to be able to do something. I think thats bull. Are they going to get away with this? I dont have health insurance and I would hate to get a crazy hospital bill thats telling me ill be fine in a couple weeks and attorneys telling me thats not enough. Anything I can do? The officers wouldnt give me their names but I got the license plate. This was today by the way.

Stealing, drug dealing, claiming benefits (housing & jsa) and driving without a license or insurance.

For years this is what was done to get by. But one day it was decided going legit may be better.

Over the years since. Having worked in high and low paid jobs, paid a lot of taxes, got a licence and insured vehicles.

It seems to me no matter how good anyone is. they seem to be paying a lot to survive (ok so they have some nicer things than some poorer people) but the cost of renting a house, car insurance, road tax, council tax, TV license, etc....

Is so high it seems it was better off years back when it wasn't bothered about and you got £40 pw pocket money
+ Your rent paid for you.

Do you think the law abiding / Tax paying people of Britain pay too much to support the less fortunate?

I have been videotaping my neighbor from my property and the street. I have been doing this because they are running a daycare out of their home that is not licensed (by county or state) it is also against my CC&R’s. They have called the cops 4 times and every time the cops come they tell me that I am ok as long as I don’t go on there property. Then, last night I get served with an injunction against harassment (they claim that I am taping the kids). The cops tell me that I can no longer tape and that I can get a hearing at the local court. There is an open violation with the HOA about the daycare and they have meet with both of us to talk about the issue (they have sent violation letters- another neighbor has complained as well). They may have a hearing in the near future. I feel that I have a legitimate purpose for the taping, to document the traffic (persons and cars) and the daycare that is breaking the law. Does anyone know how to present this at my hearing?

Can you legally make someone leave work in California if they have a license plate that says,

***, Cash or Grass, No One Rides For Free

and you don't like it?

Some low level bureaucrat told me I can't homestead my house in California. ( I called to see if I could use this to protect my property from any attacks from the corporate America banking system). I'm not in foreclosure, nor am I behind in payments, but I've heard that some banks are "calling loans" for some pretty thin reasons.

If you are aware of why I can't exercise the same rights as you lucky guys in the "Free 49" , please let me know.

my apartment complex put a sticker on my car because it didnt have any plates. well i got the insurance on the car and put plates on it. they towed my car anyway. the tow truck didnt look to see if it had plates, neither did the apt complex. they are trying to say thats its my fault because although i put plates on the car i should have come talk to them first. the manager told me he would review and call me back. now one week later i still havent heard from anyone. i called and talked to the assistant today and they are trying to tell me they decided it wasnt there fault either and i need to pay. what you think

The Boyfriend wants her to receive some benefits from Social Security. (Texas does common law Marriage) but they never signed a paper stating that they are married or not. What can she do.

I am a mother of three, and my first child is four years old. The father of the child did not sign the Acknowledgment of Paternity (which is vital) when she was born. However, on the the child's birth certificate she has two last names, one is my maiden name, and the birth father's last name. All efforts to find him through the TX Attorney General have failed, I have no idea where he resides. The last time we spoke he spoke to my stepmother (whom cares for my children) about signing away his parental rights. He does not come and visit the child at all. He use to visit a couple of years ago, but not anymore. How can he go about signing over parental rights? Will he still have to pay child support to me? Does he have to get an attorney? If he signs over parental rights, is he admitting that he is the father? I need some answers! Thanks

It is mandatory, you do not get paid a reasonable wage (not even minimum wage). Sure, some, although very few, employers pay you for it, & they are not required to do so by law. The court pays $15.00 a day, how are you supposed to live on that?

So why is it that our government can force us to participate in something that can cost us our homes or at the very least put us in debt? Isn't this america, where we are supposed to have freedom of choice?

Oh & don't tell me that you can get out of jury duty by claiming financial hardship, cause at least in L.A. County they removed that ability.

I've seen this in a few "official rules" for sweepstakes that are open to US and Canadian residents. Why are Canadians required to answer a simple math question before they can be granted a prize? Is this a Canadian law of some sort?

I just love the people I work with. even my boss is the best. then one day people higher up asked 5 of us to "temporarily" transfer to another account for 1 week. we went back to our team after that. But after some time, news came out that we were transferred permanently to that new account and we cannot do anything about it. All of us trashed the screening but we still "passed". Even my boss could not do anything anymore. It really sucks to transfer teams. Is it right to sabotage our performance to get out of the new team? whats the best thing to do?

A company called Homeserve sent me a letter after i moved house telling me i had 3 months free cover on plumbing, drainage problems.Having read the first paragraph i had no intention of signing up after the three months so i consequently binned the letter.It now appears i should have rang them to tell them this so they assumed i wanted the cover and used a direct debit set up with south staffs water(Homeserve once worked in conjunction with South Staffs Water) and i am now paying £20 per month.
My blood is boiling,surely this is a scam.If i wanted a service i would have asked for it.Can i expect to get a full refund once i cancel the policy?
