I had worked for a movie rental place about 2 years ago and I had given out movies to my friends and family without charging them and I got caught and they had me sign something stating that the value of rentals I gave out was like $140 bucks and they said even though I didn't actually take actual money, but instead gave movies out without charge, and by signing, I agreed to pay them back that amount. If they were to sue me, what type of punishment or judgement would I be looking at getting if found guilty? Thnx

would you consider it illegal search & seizure if your daughter had her purse seached without any legit reasons. my daughter is 12 years old & the school suspected she had cigarettes, so they searched her purse. the bad part is she had her female products in her purse and they emptied her purse in front all of the kids (including the boys) which embarressed her. in the end they found no cigarettes. at what point do we say this is illegal search. shoulnd't the parents be present when they search the kids & their personal things. i understand the lockers are the schools property and should be allowed to seach their own property. and i understand the situation with guns in schools. but this was over cigarettes, was this acceptable?

I understand that some lawyers are prosecutors for many indefinably, guilty people, but aren't they doing their job to support someone's fourth and fifth amendment? I suppose I'm just confused. Hope someone can help. Thank you.

In regards to providing the pill to teen aged girls in high schools. Am I the only one concerned with what will be prescribed? I understand the thought behind doing this, prevent pregnancies, embarassment at going to a clinic, etc. But if I recall, any time as a grown woman I had received a prescription for this type of medication, I had to have a full physical first to rule out any underlying conditions that could be ascerbated by taking a contraceptive. Will the girls be given complete, and I mean complete including gynocological, physicals before they get their pills from guidence office/nurse?

I bought a t.v. on craigslist that was listed as brand new never open factory sealed.
Anyhow, I paid $1200 cash for it, and hauled it home. I didn't open it because it did look new, and it was sealed so I didn't want to pull it out of the box and put it back together again, because it was a pretty large t.v.
Well, I drove it home, plugged it in and it won't turn on!! I called the guy back, and he told me that the t.v was being sold "as is," and now he won't give me my money back. I drove back to his house, and he doesn't open the door for me anymore. what can I do?? Is this considered scamming me? Can I take him to court, or file a police report or something??? Please help, I'm very desperate!!!

If I was sexually abused by my mother and the police didn't believe me. And returned me home several times after running away. Then I ended up in prison for a few years for trying to murder her. Then I run into my prosecutor at a Church. How can I move forward when I've got this conviction to remind me that my mom sexually abused me? It wasn't anything physical. It was showing me porn, ripping off my clothes so she could force me into nude photos, saying that she owned my body and could look at it anytime she wanted because she gave birth to it, tapping my but sexually when I was an older teen. I was held in a juvy for 2 years where I was beaten up verbally by the staff everyday for trying to kill her.

or bedroom when they proclaim the right for homosexuals to marry, yet liberals want to regulate home schooling, especially those children who are being raised by conservative God fearing parents. Isnt this hypocritical? Shouldnt parents have a right to teach and raise their kids the way they see fit?

my father was kind of getting on my nerves so I sent him to a nursing home. He was still competent but it was a pain in the *** taking care of him. So after he went away to the nursing home I knew I wasn't going to leave in that crappy old cabin he was living in. So i decided to sell it. I made a nice profit and bought a exsquiset persian rug. However people keep thinking that I am a scumbag. How should I respond to these false aqusations?

My friend is being sued by this guy who we'll call ronald over an accident he claims that she owes him 100k plus yet he has not given any documentation or anything. He claims he is homeless by this and lost his job, wouldn't give any info at all!! Yet my friend was served..

NOw we did our research online and it turns out is not homeless! In fact, he lives in a very nice neighborhood, would it be illegal if my friend goes to his house and takes a picture of him going into his house..in order to prove that he was just trying to milk it for what he can?
