someone had a green light for the left turn lane and made a U turn and hit me when I was trying to turn right? My light was red. I made my stop looked and let off the brake. I was just about to hit the gas when this guy does a wide U-turn from the left turn lane. It doesn't say you can't do a U-turn, but it doesn't say you can either. I was already into my turn when their light turned green. Who would have been to blame if there WAS an accident?

Let me know if you need more details and I'll try to explain better. I really want to know the answer.

I'm not sure if I'm phrasing my question above correctly, so I am rephrasing it several ways:
Before someone presents their statement in front of any Senate Committee, are they sworn to tell the truth?
Can the person be held accountable for anything they say to a Senate Committee?
Is it legal for the person's testimony to include false information and/or include false statements of having implemented a solution to a problem (when in fact, the solution had never been implemented)?

What happens if a person is caught lying to the Senate? What are the repercussions?

What are your thoughts on the people and large organisations ie OIL companies, that have bought these patents that can revolutionise the energy/fuel industry. If these people/organisations do not use them should they be made to give them up to organisations that will use them, if so how do we get the governments to listen to the people and not these large organisations?

I was just made aware of this ridiculous law or act as Bush calls it where anywhere in any state in this country they are not only fingerprinted but now having to give DNA samples for storage and future use for even such crimes as misdemeanors. I guess civil liberties are disappearing into the night more and more. I have to ask you people what your intake is on all this????Welcome to the new police state!!!!

Where my friend(manager) and I(employee) work there is a policy in place that says managers cannot fraternize with employees. The policy says they can't date, room together, etc. Now the policy actually says etc. I was friends with this person before they became a manager now I am wondering if he can legally be fired for just being friends with me. He doesn't show me favoritism and our friendship does not interfere with our work.

I was just wondering if there is legal precedent for something like this?

Qualifications for becoming a patent lawyer?
I am a freshman at UC Berkeley and I am on the pre-med track. I am currently majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Biochemistry. However, I have always considered becoming a patent lawyer. What are the qualifications? I know that one of them is to have a backround/undergraduate degree in science or engineering. Would a Molecular and Cell Biology major (with emphasis in Biochemistry) qualify for this? And what steps do I need to take? How many years of grad school and/or graduate school does it require? Thanks!!!

If you, can you give me the law or regulation that prohibits this action. Thank you so much. There is this lady who keeps advertising goverment jobs on our school forums. It's getting to be very tiring and irritating. I am thinking this is illegal. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

I am 18. My BF is 16. The Age of Consent in NY is 17.

My question is "can I legally shower with him (no penetration of any kind) before he is 17?

What about sleeping together with no sex?

If you could provide any laws or summaries I would appreciate it. I just don't want to break any laws. Thanks.

I work at Wal-Mart and we don't have security guards. If we catch a shoplifter we just call the police. The management watches the cameras. So does Walmart really have security guards?

I shouldn't really call it my "visitation" weekend, we have 50/50 shared custody right now. It is a temporary order, we go back to court at the end of this month, and neither of us has a copy of our current order (it was supposed to come by mail from his lawyer, and neither of us can get a copy from her), so if it "should" be in there, I have no way of telling.

I have to work on Sunday, for 6 hours, even though this is my weekend (we alternate) to spend with my 8 m/o son. My mother is coming up to spend the day with us, and will watch him while I am at work. My ex doesn't like my mother and has 1001 excuses why she should not be alone with him. They are all b.s. and I have no reason to believe my son shouldn't be with my mother, but my ex says he's coming to my house and taking my son while I am at work. Can he legally do that? I know for a fact that the court order is supposed to say we will alternate weekends, and that this is my weekend. Can I stop him? How?!
