Law & Ethics - November 2007

Is it legal for police officers to insult you? Like if I haven't done anything wrong, but they thought something I did was stupid, is it legal for them to call me an idiot? If it is legal, do you think it's something that would be frowned upon by his superior? Should I report him for being unprofessional and an all around douche bag?

My daughters father is a lawyer and he doesn't want anything to do with our daughter. He just changed, told me he doesn't want to be a father, ever!
Anyway, so now i'm on my own raising my daughter and i love it! However, it's a little hard finacially, so i asked her father if he could perhaps helf finacially toward her living expenses. He said to me very sternly 'if i was to "extort" any money from him for his daughter he will taker her off me for good, that he will make it that he will have her!!!'
He told me to go away and leave it alone or face a huge fight, he said it was my choice!
He never signed a perternity test, nor will he, he refused. I know i can take him to court and make him have a perternity test, but why should i have to force someone to be a father, i shouldn't have to.
He isn't a nice person, should have realised that when we were together, but he treated me very well, until i got pregnant.
Our daughter is 2 now, she has never known her dad. If i was to pursue..

I'm trying to convince my buddy/roomate to take taxis when we go out drinking. However, he's a cheap dude and would rather drive drunk than pay the $15 cab fare from our house to downtown where the bars are. So, I'm trying to make the argument that it's cheaper to pay the cab fare than get a DUI.

Anybody know what the average DUI costs in Denver? Also, what other costs are there (i.e. attorneys, classes, etc)?

If you were sexually assaulted by a doctor in a hospital during a procedure who's attentions would you send the complaint letter to? There are so many divisions in a hospital, what title should one look for to find the ONE in charge? The one who oversees it all and will not intercept a letter getting to the very top. I need the title of the head, very top, big chief. I'm coming up with a million different departments. What should I be looking for in a title?

Ok, so I'm doing a project for my business class. My professor gave me the topic of why the United States should lower the drinking age to 18. Even if I don't agree with it I still have to defend it as if I care. I'm 21, so it doesn't matter to me anyways.

Anywho, for those of you who do care and do feel the US should lower the drinking age to 18, what are your reasons? I'm looking for reasons that are thought out and mature and reasonable, not comments like "so I can't get arrested for getting drunk!!!!!!". I have my reasons already, but since this is a big project, I need as many reasons as possible to make a good argument.

Thanks guys.

My mother is suing me because some one busted out her living room window and she assumed me or my girlfriend had some thing to do with it. we didnt of course. The reason she thinks we had something to do with it is because my girlfriend and her do not like each other and they got into a altercation earlier that week. My girlfriend and I were both out of town the day it happened so we could not have done it. Can she really sue me and WIN??? What should I do?? What defense do i have. Does she even have a case????

Two issues:

First my dad passed away recently. Con. Assoc. said I could not see him at residence, even though they knew he was bed bound/immobilized. The policy there is that a 3rd person can not reside there as its a 1 bedroom. So with my mom there I could visit, either leave, or stay overnight on occasion apparently. He wanted me there anyway before dying. Before he got so ill, I admit, I abused staying there. Then Associ. said I am not allowed there ever, anywhere inside. They prevented me from any contact. Writing isn't the same and no phone because he lost his talking communication, speach ability. Do I have valid claim.
and
Two, my mom is essentially in same situation, &also cant talk on phone as she deaf w/o prospect of using any devices.

Someone asked me if my suing was intentioned to get some, money in effect, or if I really believed I should benefit due to hardship instead, &I said only the hardship.


Id be happy w professional or personal responses!?
Thanks?!+

Hi, I hit a person going down the highway last week. He wants 502.00 for damages which we agreed to settle outside of insurance because of my deductible. I want to make him sign a release of some kind. I want to document that I paid and I am no longer bound to him. What kind of release do I need to draft and where can I get this done? Isnt this a liability release form or something of that nature? Please advise on how to correctly pay this person off and be done with him for good. While covering my *** in case he turns out to be an ***.

Everything started as an online dating communication. After several e-mails going back and forth, the woman in question claims she is in love with me and would like to see me as soon as possible. Then, she asked me for money to take care of her visa, and medical insurance because her salary does not allow her to pay for it. At this point, I became a little suspicious... I did some research and sure enough, there is a huge scam going on where some Ukraine woman target men in Canada and the US. The person I was communicating with is waiting for my reply about the money, and I would like to get authorities involved to help catch these people. Beware though, the scammers even go a step further by posing as detectives that will help you catch the scammers for a fee. Any suggestions?

If it's not true that prosecuters just like sending people to prison just because they can, then why are their mental health units in prisons filled with inmates who do nothing but DROOL OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS?
