Law & Ethics - October 2007

I notice smokers just throw their butts out the window and don't care if they are still lit or not. This is one of the main reasons we have wild fires every year in CA. This costs tax payers millions of dollars. We just passed a law that states we can't drive and talk on a cell phone but no one seems to care about smokers. I don't understand why. Smokers don't care about their lives so why would they be cautious on the road????

I am an employee of a Quick Service Food and Beverage Restaurant. The companies policy is that you are not permitted to wear anything around your neck that can be seen (i.e. chokers, collars, fancy necklaces, and such thing) unless it is part of your costume or easily hidden beneath your costume. For a number of months I have been wearing a pentagram pendant on a simple piece of cord. It hangs low enough to be hidden within my blouse and tucked into my tank top. One day my manger saw and ever since that day he has made it a point to look for the cord around my neck and say “You need to take THAT off.” While at the same time someone else could be walking past wearing something, that literally drops to their waist, on the outside of their costume and won't say a word to them. One co-workers has a gold chain around his neck that can clearly be seen even at a glance. Am I imagining things or am I experiencing religious discrimination?

Ok, long story, so quick question. Can someone subpoena cell phone records and ISP information, such as chat records and emails, without the subscriber being aware? In other words, can someone subpoena my web activity without my knowledge, as well as my cell phone history?

I'm trying to get more safety and comfort for fellow libray users, and after repeated letters have gotten some positive responses. But main problem keeps on being that there's only one toilet facility for male and one for female. But according to latest response I just got from government official this is okay for a 5k square foot library with an "average mothly door count of approximately 5 thousand individuals". Those being his exact words.

Now, knowing we definetely need to have one additional toilet per bathroom, plus have them in booths, separated from the sink, I'm interested in finding out if there's a national concensus to this rule or regulation for the entire USA. Or is this in Florida only?

I had to go to the bathroom really bad while at school, but the only bathroom that was open [the others were locked] was the one that all the smokers smoke in, so i had to go in there even though i hate how it smells. After i was done in the stall, i stepped out, and a faculty member i'd never seen before demanded to smell my hands to make sure i wasn't smoking. I beleive this is a violation of my rights since she had no basis to beleive that i was one of the people who was smoking. The only reason i was in that bathroom was because all the others had been locked (for reasons unknown to me)

Is this a violation of my rights? If it is, who should i tell?

Ok my parents are buying a house straight from the previous owner, every month they send payment through a check in the mail, and every month the seller says they missed the payment and threatens legal action. This is getting quite annoying. They have proof that he has cashed every single check they have sent. They do no have a lot of money to hire a lawyer or get it financed through a bank, what can they do to get this guy off their backs.

My wife & I just bought our first home. We have been living in a Mobile Home I own out right and live in a nice park. I just put out a sign to sell the trailer before we move into our new home next month.

My problem is the owner of the park called me this morning and told me I better sell my trailer that I own to someone who is 55 or older.

Can he tell me who I can sell something I own to? It really just pissed me off. I'm 30 and their are people younger then me in the park.

Lets say defendant swears up and down he didn't do a crime like rape of a child, but later informs his lawyer that he is paying that he did, and defense lawyer mounts a excellent defense and wins the case. How can a person sleep at night knowing his client is guilty.

I found out that my ex husband molested his little sister when he was a minor and went to jail for it. As a caring mother, this scares the hell out of me! At first it was ok cause he dint call or try to see her but now he is planing on taking me to court for my daughters custody and i was wondering if i could use that or if they would dismiss it cause he was a minor when it happened. On top of it he is very prone to violence. i don't trust him at all with my daughter and he refused visitation rights
