Law & Ethics - October 2007

[Selected]: All categories Politics & Government Law & Ethics

you weren't home at the time (and no, our neighbors and us all kind of keep to ourselves) and I'm in an apartment complex....here's the thing....I applied for a job within a law enforcement agency (not a cop - civilian position) --- but the agency said they need ME to provide the name, address AND PHONE NUMBER of 3 neighbors. I have been laid off for 7 weeks now and this job is important. Anyway, I left a note on 8 doors telling them my situation, that I needed this information for a job - gave them my phone number, apt. # AND email address and no one responds...WOULD YOU do that to a neighbor -- just ignore it??? What has happened to people anymore? We aren't all close friends but what about human compassion? No one has anything against me or dislikes me for any reason. Could it be they just don't want to hear from cops? Everyone goes thu background checks before moving in so I can't imagine them being afraid. What is your take? Eight and NO answers....

I am in need of advise?
I rented a car for a week while i was on vacation, i declined all of the optional insurance ect as i am insured. The cost was 280 for the time we were on vacation. We returned our car last wednesday, at the time we pulled up and a guy walked around the car to inspect it looked inside real quick, check it the gas was full and printed out a recipt and told us here is your final charge have a great day. Today checking online i noticed they charged my 976.93. I called them right away, i took for every to contact some one, but finaly i got ahold of someone and he told me they found a chip in the cars windsheld and they had to replace the windsheld. He told me that i declined other charges therefore i have to pay the damages. What can i do, i did not notice a chip but those things can be unnoticed. I asked him how do you know that someone did that after i droped it off. I have the recipt showing the final charges 288.30

i think yes, if you say no search for it on google and you will find out that no one has ever overdosed or died from marijuana.Marijuana dose not have any addictive tendencies such as cigarettes. Marijuana dose not kill brain cells like tobacco. There is not a single health risk associated with marijuana. Also many people us it as a pain killer. Marijuana is associated with more arrests than anything else including murders. Many law abiding, tax paying, family oriented citizens use marijuana and many fathers are taken away form their children and families. One reason it is illegal it is illegal is because back when farmers needed land for cotton they blamed marijuana growers.

How is it that the US government feels that their 18 year old citizens are too young and immature to consume alcohol but will accept and train them to kill another human being. They are trained and qualified in six short months to travel to another land, take the lives of others or bear witness to great tragedies. When they finish their service they are expected to return home and behave normally. My position is that no one under the age of 21 should be legally trained and permitted to take another life. Yes, I have honorably served.

She refuses to divorce him.

I'm worried that the scum bag will show up and mess with her retirement benefits, medical coverage and when the time comes, he will have the authority over her "end of life" decisions.
She also refuses to discuss a living will or anything else that would put me (or my siblings) in charge of her affairs when, and if, she becomes disabled/dies.

I've asked her about it, and told her my fears about my dad, but she just starts yelling that after so long, he doesn't have any authority, and will not listen to anything different.

So, anyone know?
Also, does anyone have any advise in talking to a difficult parent about this?

Earlier today, as I was riding a bicycle back from the Army recruiters office, a woman ran a stop sign and hit me while I was crossing on my bike in the crosswalk. The woman has two children, and does not have insurance. If I would have called the police, she would have lost her children and gone to jail. My back hurt pretty bad immediately after the incident, but I could still walk and move around. As the day has gone by, the pain has got increasingly worse, to the point that I am seriously contemplating going to the E.R. now. (I am the kind of person that HATES doctors and hospitals, so yeah, it is THAT bad). What should I tell the doctor if I do end up going? Will I be in trouble for leaving the scene of the accident? Would there be any way that the woman could be liable for the bill which I definitely can not afford? I did write down the license plate number of the car, so the woman can be tracked down if need be... Did I do the right thing, or did I screw myself?

Are mayors allowed to make their own laws and do their own planning towards the city. For example can they tear down or build new parks. Can they also buy property to make the city larger? What does a mayor do exactly? What cant they do? Can they do something that affects other cities near them? Please answer these questions.

Alright. I bet it has been puzzling millions of people out there on this wide debate. I have looked and it seems like Limewire is only legal to download uncopyrighted material. (someone please confirm). But, i would like to know, out of the MILLIONS OF MILLIONS of people that have a downloading program (limewire, bearshare, etc), why are only a hand full getting caught and fined? i can't remember the exact number, but it was somewhere around 200milion people have used some software to download something...illegally. But yet only a small portion has got caught and punished. If thr government really wanted to, couldn't they track down [most] 'downloaders' and fine them? (i can see the results in millions of complaints, but still). or is there something i'm missing? Is that hand full of people getting caught doing something different from the rest of the world? insights? opinions? facts?

and then there's bit torrent, etc. what about those? are those legal up to some degree like limewire?

My husband has weekend visitation with his 2 sons age 15 & 10. His oldest son is 19 now. about a year ago, we learned from the oldest that his mom had threw a birthday party for him in which she provided alcohol & pot. The youngest boys were there, pics were taken. We enlarged the pic, showing a young boy (not ours) smoking pot with them. We reported this to childrens service. They investigated (so they said) then told us it is not illegal for a parent to give their child alcohol. They just sort of blew off the pic. Over past year we heard rumors the boys are left alone alot while she goes to bars & she drinks daily. We had the boys this weekend. The 15 yr old called her to talk , I didnt know he was on phone, accidentally picked up heard her screaming cussing him. She was drunk. He cried says dont want to live there, she does this alot & when she is in bar He walks little brother around town. She has parties til 4 am school nite brings strangers home. Gets angry throws forks

Police raided the headquarters of a religious sect in central Japan on Monday and arrested 20 women for allegedly beating a member to death, an official said.

Motoko Okuno, 63, died last month at the Kigenkai sect's headquarters in the city of Komoro, allegedly after a mass beating, according to local news reports.

Police arrested the women late Monday on suspicion of injury leading to Okuno's death, according to a Komoro city police official. The official refused to give his name, citing policy.

Kigenkai, founded in 1970, is based on Japan's indigenous Shinto religion. Members sell purified water that they say can cure diseases for about $500 a bottle. It has about 400 members across Japan, according to news reports.

Among those arrested were a girl as young as 15 and a woman as old as 80, according to the Kyodo News agency. Earlier Monday, television video showed police streaming into the sect's headquarters to seize documents and question members.

Some news reports suggested Okuno, who owned a sushi restaurant, was killed as punishment for failing to carry out religious rites.

Police launched an investigation after doctors who examined her bruised body raised the alarm, Kyodo said.

Residents living near the headquarters told public broadcaster NHK they often heard drums beating from the compound.

Religious sects in Japan, a largely nonreligious society, have often been linked to crimes and attacks.

Members of the doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo released nerve gas in Tokyo's subway system in 1995, killing 12 people. More than a dozen former members face the death penalty in the attack, including cult's former guru, Shoko Asahara. The cult remains under surveillance by authorities
