Law & Ethics - December 2007

and you have not stolen anything? We have one store in the area that the danged buzzer goes off almost every time a customer goes through it. I suspect a cell phone signal might set the danged thing off. It's embarassing when the store clerk comes running after you and checks your bags. I told them if it happens again, I was going to sue them for deflamation of character.

Sometimes, if they are busy and the thing goes off, they just keep waving people to go through. I am half tempted to take a TV off the shelf and not pay for it and leave on those days. LOL! That'll teach them!

But isn't it embarassing enough to sue them? (Not that I would, I am asking hypothetically)

If the lady who spilled McDonald's coffee can sue and win, surely this case would make me rich. LOL!

Think I should do it?

If the US Vice President murdered the US President using a poison pin prick, and took the oath of office before the death was found to have been murder, they WOULD be the US President. Then, as soon as they assumed office, they pardoned themself. Could ANYTHING be done? After all, the President has absolute power to pardon anybody. Constitutionally, would they remain President????

put a restraining order on me for dating their daughter, (were both minors) i did some research online and it doesn't look like they can because i was never abusive or threatening in any manner and we never had sex. Also I heard she could have me thrown in jail but that doesn't sound very realistic if i never did anything they just don't want us to date

When speaking of homicide and violent crimes, is the death penalty an effective deterrent in our criminal justice system? I have mixed emotions about this, I would like some opinions of others and an explanation of why you think this way.

This question is regarding "calling in". I won't disclose what tribe it is but the casino that someone i know works for have these things called "Blocked Days" in which you can not call in on those certain days (which were mainly Fridays-Sundays), and now during the holiday season they have made it "blocked until January,3,2008". Calling in on a "blocked day" would result in an automatic "5 day suspension" or termination. Is it legal for them to do that because they have a sovereign nation status or are there laws that prohibit them from doing things like that?

Ok, this is about freedom and personal rights of individuals. As an American citizen you are gauranteed the right to life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness. Why does this not apply to a simple plant, given as a gift from God to man? Why do I have to hide my pot smoking when you can go to the bar and get drunk? Alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana by far, yet it socially acceptable. Companies throw parties with fully stocked bars, But God forbide you fail a drug test because you wanted to smoke a joint to unwind after a stressful day. In the U.S. every year more than 800,000 people are arrested on misdemeanor marijuana charges, these people are otherwise outstanding hard working members of the american work force; and thats only the fraction of people that got caught.
Its your duty as a free citizen to do something about this injustice because if nobody stands up, nothing gets done. Hemp could save the world with eco-friendly fuel, so pull your head out of your *** and decide.

I've been working for this retail place (Canada, Ontario) for about 7 months now. They've told me around september how they were closing down but told me how I would be placed in one of their other 4 stores and not to worry. As the deadline has drawn closer and closer they haven't said a word about my placement. The District Manager came to me Saturday 22 with a note to sign saying my job will be terminated on Dec 31...
They told me I would have a place... not maybe. They said maybe in the last days... now its good bye?

Are they allowed to do that? What could I do? Who could I report it to?

on a side note... you think loyalty and hard work would place you some where...but not everywhere...

Lets say a cop arrests you for no reason. Lets say he is a racist cop. The cop makes up something to arrest you for, so you are falsely being arrested which you resist the false arrest. You end up going to court for doing something you didn't do and for resisting arrest. Come to find out you are innocent of the false claims, which makes the reason for the arrest false.

Are you still charged for resisting arrest, even if its a flase arrest?

Would you resist arrest if it were a false arrest? Why or why not?

You are a bartender, a patron comes in and shows the doorman an ID that states the person is 21. The night goes on, they really don't get drunk, so you think the person is cute, one thing leads to another and bam, you're having sex out in the parking lot after closing time. The next day you are arrested for having sex with a minor, are you going to be convicted or not?

My ex father-in-law back,in 2005,started a huge custody battle between myself & my ex husband. He called CPS & accused my husband of molesting my daughters(because my oldest daughter told HIM,the grandfather,not to touch her). Meanwhile he came to us & said my ex husband had made the report & that he was now getting an attorney to take away the children & to immedietly seek an attorney & get the kids back immedietly(They were on a month long summer visit w/their dad). He helped them financialy get their attorney(We just recently found out) & then came to us continuously & told us everything they were going to do. Recently we discovered that he had been using meth that whole time & there is a good possibility that HE(the grandfather/ex- father-in-law) molested my daughters. He has admitted to playing us against one another but wouldn't say why. Is what he did illegal? His signiture is on the retainers fee agreement yet he"Ratted them out"every time. His attorney isn't aware he did this.

I wouould like congress to pass a new version of the copyright law that basicly abolisheis the DCMA and replaces it with something like the the early 1980s version of copyright, with the slight tweak that all new software or digital media must be true open source with gnu pricipals 1 and 3 enforced. (meaning use is user directed not corprate directed.) Trouble is, most media companys have loby power. How do we defeat them. I am looking for actual stratagies, not mearly sentiments.

When investigating reports of abuse or unsafe living conditions as well as other types of complaints do you feel the caseworker involved should be held accountable for bad judgment? I'm so sick of reading about kids that were terribly abused and/or starved literally to death and no one knew about it even though CPS was notified and cleared the complaint as unsubstantiated. Evidence of multiple ER visits, school, relative and neighbor reports not even being addressed. I know they have heavy case loads but when they state they worked with the family and the symptoms were still there why don't they call the police and make a report and have it on record? I mean, these people sometimes remove the kids 2-3 times only to return them and many times end up retrieving a child too late to help. Why in cases like this are those workers not held accountable.
