Law & Ethics - November 2007

Yesterday my friend was taking a test and i was texting him answers. The teacher caught him with his phone out so he turned it off really quickly but was forced to give it to her. The teacher took it down to the office where she and the principal turned it on and searched through his phone. They found the text messages and so i got caught too. I know what i did was wrong, but could i attempt to fight this because they turned on and searched his cell phone with out permission or a warrant? Or can they search it because he is not allowed to have a cell phone with him during the school day? This may be different for each school but it seems like the school would not be able to search it without permission or a warrant.

I am totally, 100% PRO-LIFE. Anyone with me?
I know that the issue isn't black and white... it is many shades of gray. But the main point is, innocent lives need to be spared. They are helpless and dependent upon the person whom they are living within, for the time being.

It's hard to believe in 2007 this kinda thing still goes on in America. I just happen to notice this Racist Capitalistic Pig of a business having a very Racist sign in FULL view of everyone. I went to the City, they were NOT interested in my complaint so I went to the manager of the laundry mat and said: WTH ...why do you have such a RACIST sign up in your STORE (then he played dumb) and said WHAT RACIST SIGN..I said the one above the washing machines that says: WHITES ONLY...this is NOT 1950 in Selma Alabama...he LAUGHED in my FACE!!!!!!!!

What would you do to fight this???

I recentally filed a claim w/ the district attorneys office b/c i was having to punch out for a break while contiuning to work (i work at a hotel 3-11, where im at the hotel alone). corporate got in trouble and got upset with me.

My Mother told me to post this question for her :
About a month ago her sons father passed away beacause of bone ,brain, stomach, liver,and kidney cancer, in the main will she was the exectutor or person it control of all his belongings and estate . About a week before he died he signed everthing over to his girlfriend(making her the executor). In the revised living will its states that the person signing (him) was in full mental health and of aware of what he was doing. He was under hospes care fore a month before that , numorus time his caretaker would walk in and find him doing extremley odd things , atempting to shave with his cell phone and having no clue of his location or his childrens names(the brain caner may have caused this) . We have tons of evedince claming that he was in bad metal health and doctors and nurses to testify agaist his girlfriend and lawyer for an estimated sum of 15-30 million .
Is this case worth that much, and do we have a chance for stating purjury ?

....society. What is not prohibited by the law, should not be hindered; nor should anyone be compelled to that which the law required.

2.) The rights to property being inviolable and sacred, no one ought to be deprived of it, except in cases of evident public necessity, legally ascertained, and on condition of a previous just indemnity.

3.)The law ought to impose no other penalties but such as are absolutley and evidently necessary; and no one ought to be punished, but in virtue of a law promulgated before the offence, and legally applied.

Okay, most of us can work and even retire in a job that we just don't like but in my case I really hate my job. It's simple. I applied for a job that promised me more pay and it's in writing. Nothing was said until I got my first pay check. I was told that it was a mistake by our Human Resources Office. I asked to quit but I was I couldn't because I signed a two year service agreement. Now, I'm fighting it, legally. I have no trust of my employer. I was marked for being late but that's because I don't make enough for gas and it's all because I budgeted on the pay that I was promised. I do good work but when I protested against this I was reprised. I was marked for showing up late to work exactly 5 mins. I even volunteered to make up the time but I was told that's personal. I just want to leave my job, what do I do without worrying about punitive damages? I mean they reniged to begin with...

There is a company that I know has been hiring hourly part-timers like crazy and offering no benefits. And yet they are terminating all the salaried employees, claiming there is not enough work for them all. Is there any recourse? It's a performance-based job (probably "at will," though I'm not positive), so there is always the "not working up to expectation" out for the employer.

My sister & I owned a house together. I've been living here for more then 15 years. I trusted her. However, on the night before I was supposed to leave for Japan, she told me that we needed to refinance the house and took me to a place to sign papers. I was trusted her so I signed them without reading them carefully. She completely caught me off guard because I was such in a hurry to leave and and now the house is under HER name. The house is a duplex and she just moved in recently. I've been paying the mortgage here for more then 15 years and she hasn't contributed to one dime. No she's trying to tell me I need to pay rent!!! I want to know, what are my rights? Can I take any type of legal action against her? Or is there nothing I can do because I signed the papers and in front of a witness? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name)......the article said he REFUSED TO NOT ONLY PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART DURING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BUT REFUSED TO SAY THE PLEDGE.....how can a man like this expect to be our next Commander-in-Chief????

religion, or lack of aside, to me the Pledge of Allegiance is to dedicate yourself to your country and all of the people, and if he choses not to dedicate himself to us they why should we show him any loyalty? It is a matter of honor, not religion!! A man who has no loyalty to his country should not be in office!!!!!!! You pledge Alegiance to the flag of the united states first, religion is a secondary issue. The flag represents freedom in a country where a s s holes like him can run for office. If he can

Mother was in US (Illinois) on temporary work visa and met Father, also a foreign national but permanent (?) legal resident. (They are not citizens of the same country.) They dated but never married, and had a child who was born in Illinois.

When Mother went back to her home country, she took the child with her but Father stayed in IL, promising to support child by sending money to Mother in her home country. Father sent payments the first several months and even went to visit once, where he took Mother and child shopping for necessities.

Then, Father apparently found a girlfriend in IL and stopped sending payments. It's been over a year and Mother has continued to ask him to send money. Mother and child struggle even to buy bare necessities.

Does Illinois or U.S. law allow Mother to collect child support payments from Father?

(Any citations of US or IL law would be extremely helpful.)

What are my patient's rights in the state of Florida to get my records from a doctor's office? Can an office deny the records being sent to my primary doctor? I had some tests done at a specialist's office per my ENT's referral. I did not see the other specialist....I just went for the tests as the ENT has done with other patients. Now after three weeks of stalling me, the specialist is proclaiming that I must have an office visit with her before she will send the results to the ENT or to my primary doctor who started this whole thing anyway. (And meanwhile, I am not getting any treatment for how bad I feel!)

He missed some payment's because he broke his foot and he was out of work for a month. The item is a pool table. The lady called him and said that if he did not have the money in full which is 200 dollar's by friday that she was going to take him to small claims court. He told her that he would return the item to her and she said no she want's her money. Well i was wondering if we would lose this case if it does go to court...because he did offer to return it to her...it's in the same condition as of when he got it from her nothing wrong with it.
