A mobile leather repair person came to my house for an appointment I had scheduled with him. He did not call to confirm the appointment or remind me in advance. He just showed up. I completely forgot I had scheduled him and had already had the work done by another company. When I made the appointment with him he never stated there was a charge for missed appointments. When I got home, there was a bill in the door for his service call. I feel that as an experienced businessman he should have called to confirm that someone would be home before coming. The bill was for the full amount that I would have paid for the service. He has called three times since and requested payment and said that he would be suing me if I did not pay. Who do you think is correct in this situation? I'm not sure.

I was told that harassment has 90 days and 500$ fine and misuse has up to 3 years in prison. I was also told that an attorney can get the second charge dropped to harassment, since I have no prior record at all and I am 29 what do you think the chances of me spending time in prison will be? Will there be a chance they give me probation?

prosecute me for conspiracy to commit a crime and burglary due to being with people that had done the crime, i was placed a diversion program which i completed successfully in about less then 1 year, was supposed to be on it for 18 months.when i applied for a job i was denied due to my background check even though i had successfully completed program. I went for a background check done by the arresting police station and they do not show records of my arrest and say it might be due to i was a juvenile at time of crime, so why does that stop me from being employed by that company and how will it affect my chances of being employed by other employees doing background checks? i am very honest and open about charges as soon as i am asked but feel like it may be causing me not to find a job so should i be honest and open at interview or just wait to see what comes back on my background check? also i am wondering should my completion of program i was on help me to obtain employment or no?

Somebody once told me that the difference between going to school in America and going to school in Australia (or any other non-American country) is that you don't have to worry about being shot in class.

I've been in college for more than two years now, and there have been so many school shootings. To be honest, it makes me on edge. I have a CWP (Concealed Weapons Permit) but federal law prevents me from practicing the 2nd amendment while on a school campus (among other places, such as a post office and police station). If the law permitted it as well as school policy, I would pack every single day I went to school, for the sake of my own protection. Too many school shootings and too many helpless students.
I think this is a very legitimate question and I think more people should ask it. Please share your honest, insightful opinion about this question and the reasons it either should be legal or should not be. Keep in mind too that I said students with CWPs, not just any student.

I am 16, and in highschool in the 11th grade
about a month ago I was holding illegal drugs for my friend, it was lunchtime so you can leave campus, so i went to his house to give it back to him, (its down the street from my highschool)
anyways, this is what happened, the school cops came and searched me, even if they find anything the 4th amendment protects u.s. citizens being searched without a reasonable cause
I thought the constitution protects u.s. citizens from this kind of stuff from happening
I mean if it was in the school lockers they can search you, but it was on my being, they had no right of search and seizure
if they can do this to anyone.. what was the point of the u.s. constitution??
even if they find anything illegal on your person, they cannot search and seize it because they had no prob. cause,
I have court in a about a week for a controlled substance and possesion
I want your opinions on this
if your gonna give me crap,
please dont waste your and my time.
thanks

I go to Pace University. The cafeteria and preparation of all food is controlled by Lackmann Culinary Services. Their contract says they will provide all food on campus. They run the cafeterias, concession stands at games, cook for campus events and everything else I am missing. Not only does this prevent cultural organizations from getting cultural food cooked properly but Lackmann over charges for everything. Its against the rules for a club to order Dominos wings for a Super Bowl game or for the Carribbean organizations bing in their own dishes like jerk chicken.

12000 meal plans are manditory for underclassmen and 850 plans are required for upper classmen. Lackman charges abou $.31 per ounce for food such as ribs and over prices everything else. A box of mac & cheese is or a bag of peanuts is $5. Thats about 5x more than grocery stores. Even Snickers bars are over priced. Student have no choice though because the required plan is billed to your tuition regardless. Is this legal

I know little about politics, and little about religion.
I have a serious question regarding the separation of the two.

Some of you know what I'm talking about, but out in my neighborhood we're having issues with the church next door and their special land uses (which they're not abiding by). Just recently they changed the voting of two precincts to be held at the church.

My question is this:
Is it against the separation of church and state to hold voting for a political position at a place of worship? Would the church not receive funds from the township for holding the voting of the precincts there? If they don't, I believe that would be considered special treatment by the township (government), which is also not exactly legal.

I need help with this. My mother, along with a gajillion neighbors are writing letters to the board of trustees. I can't necessarily do that, since I am not a township taxpayer or a landowner. I am, however, writing a complaint letter to them fo
