Law & Ethics - December 2007

what are the laws about privately selling and buying cars in Ohio?

private as in, not buying from a dealer

if someone buys a lemon, what rights do they have? can they charge the seller for expenses if the car breaks? if yes, what is the statue of limitations?

thanks

I was on probation about 2 or 3 years ago...My license was suspended, but when I got out of jail for the 2nd time it wasnt and my probation officer knew it wasn't. So I got my license while on probation...after I was through with probation I lost my license and I went to the DMV to get a new one and they told me my license was suspended for my probation that I had already finished...so now I have to go to DUI school...the reason I was on probation was a drug charge....but I wasnt even driving when I got caught!!! I dont know what to do>I have went to see my probation officer again, didnt help I have called the court house they wouldnt help me...they said "we cant help when they get around to suspending license's" no one is helping so what do I do?? just suck it up and go through DUI school that I shouldnt have to go through or what??? Someone help me!!!!

My best friend's parents (they are in their mid to late 70's and both are sickly) were told by the Inspection Department in their city that they have 14 days to lower a fence and move it back from the property line 25 feet. The fence is nearly 300 feet long. These people are living on social security and are POOR. They have until December 28 to do the work. The fences are along streets that are wide enough for only one car to drive on - tiny side streets.

This fence has been in the same place for more than five years and there have NEVER been any complaints before now.

The thang that lives behind these old folks hates old people and thang's best friends work in the Inspection Department. It is a small city and thang is a rich business owner with influence and connections.

How do you fight these people?

My friends have a 7 monhs old girl and after several urinary tract infections they did an ultrasound on her and found she only has one kidney and no uterus. When my GF was pregnant, she had two ultrasounds done {the big ones, when they measure everything and look if the baby has everything she should have} and they never found a problem. But missing kidney IS a huge problem and they should've found it. Should my friends sue the hospital or the technician that did the scan?

Hi, i hope someone can help me. I am getting so fed up with this "company"
I signed up to their services nearly a month ago and never recieved any paperwork from them, no direct debit forms, no usernames, no passwords etc etc. I contacted them and found out that they have me living at the wrong address so they immediatley said they would change the address on their files, but i need to go to my neighbours (where they had me living at wrongly) and ask for any mail which may have come there. I did and the neighbour who had only just moved in said i had a few letters, (one being a direct debit form which had all my bank details on) and my username and passwords etc etc but he had assummed they were the previous tenants and so threw them away. (which is worrying me as i shred all my personal information and i am worried if hes just thrown it in to the regular trash which is easily accessable)
I called the company again to ask for my contract to be canceleled and was told that..........

another post got me thinking tonight. I have wondered about this ever since a drunk harrassed and groped me months ago and my dog ( an English Mastiff) went very territorial/barked his head off and growled. He was worked up for minutes which is very unlike him and I know he would have gone after the guy had he not been tethered to something. He is an absolute love of a dog, not aggressive in the least but I am sure that if someone tried to do something to me he would protect me. So, what if he truly hurt or killed someone in defending me because of his size and we were just in an alley or on a street in the city where we live? Would his family have a right to sue me for wrongful death? Would it not be my word against the word of the bad guy? Would my precious mastiff be put down? I do and can control him but if I am being attacked and he goes after them, I wont be in a position to control him, right?
Serious answers only.

I was discharged from my job. My employer said that I voluntarily quit. I had a hearing and the referee asked him why he said I quit. He then brought up an e-mail that I wrote. I admitted I sent the e-mail that evening regarding my not returning the next day for pay or to give back keys, but that I would expect pay and return their belongings. My witness was also admittedly terminated the same day. This referee denied my claim and said I quit, she also did not really hear our side. I appealed stating especially that this "e-mail" was never submitted and should not be considered. They backed up the referee's decision. I cannot appeal again because then I have to pay court costs. Now, I must repay $1700.00. I am still unemployed, a single mom, and a student. What happens if I cannot repay? I think that everyone just backs everyone else, but what if they're wrong? This situation is such a hassle, I wish that I had never bothered. Is there a congressman I can write?

1/01/07 Ga. changed their child support payment structure. Now the required amount for the non custodial parent to pay is not only based on the (nc) parent income, it now brings into the equation how much the custodial parent is making herself. There is supposed to be some calculator that is used to determine the amount based on the Jan. 1st , 2007 law that took effect for Ga. I am making about 70k and the custodial parent is making about 40k. We have 3 teenage children.under the age of 18. Can anyone tell me how to use the new calclated amount to determine tghe child support I am required to pay?

of the felony time will he most likely have to serve?

I know of a man that was recently sentenced to 10.25 years for Rape of a Child in the First Degree. This is a felony sentence in Washington State. How much of that sentence will he most likely have to fulfill? Are felonies pretty much standard meaning universal in every state? Is there are certain amount of time that has to be served collectively for any state or what?

Thanks.

Been wondering about this...
Lets assume we have a person who is paralyzed from the neck down. He can talk, but can't move any of his body parts. If this person orders the murders of, lets say, 10 people, and his life expectancy is long, how would you punish him?

If this person is found guilty of murder in a court, would they lock him up? If so, how would you lock up a paralyzed person? Has this been done before?

(Not talking about people who are in wheelchairs. We're talking paralyzed from neck down).

I was dating a man for about a year and a half now and I always knew he looked at porn, which I was ok with but the other day I was using his computer and looked at his history and saw that he had been looking at kiddie porn!!! I love this man very much but when I found out I broke it off with him, because that is just not something I think is not right. I did not tell him that I knew what he was looking at because I just felt very uncomfortable doing so but I know that the right thing to do is to turn him in to the law about this matter, because I am afraid that if he is not stopped now of what he may do to peoples daughters if he takes this to the next level. I feel really stupid asking this question but I don't know who to turn him in to. Do I go to the local police in his area or is there a special number to call about ts kind of thing. Also does anyone know when I report him do I have to give my name or can I remain anonymous because I'm not comfortable giving my name.

I'm getting a piercing soon, either by myself or someone else. (no lectures, please)
I talked to my mom about getting a piercing, and shes the main reason I'm not getting it done professionally.
Anyway, she said if anyone pierces me she'll file a lawsuit against them/sue them. (I know she's probably crazy enough to do so)

Can she do that? Even if I did it myself?

I know it's my body and my decision and I don't think she can really do anything especially if she doesn't know who did it... But I'm worried incase I do get it done by somebody, I don't want to get them in trouble...

So on the 1st of the year when it goes into effect, will you be able to smoke in your car, or on your front porch or something? I'm not about to get a fine for smoking outside on my front porch.

Also, since they're banning it in bars, and you have to smoke outside, won't the new ban make it illegal to smoke at all?

what do you think about this ban?

My brother in-law got arrested about 6 months ago for stealing from his job. He was charged with an undesignated class 6 felony. He was put on 18 months probation with 30 days jail defered after the first 6 months. He went to his P.O from june to oct of 07 and completed part of his comunity service and resitution. We just got a letter from his P.O that says he stopped going and he was to turn himself in on Dec 15th or she would make a motion to revoke his probation. My wife talked with him and he says he just got scared that his P.O was going to send him to jail so he stopped seeing her. If he had i guess his deferred jail time would of been taken off. Anyway after we brought this to his attenion he got scared and i'm sure he didn't turn himself in so he has violated his probation. My question is what will happen? A friend has told me that the court will send him a letter for a meeting about his probation violation. Is that true or will his P.O come to my house looking for him? (He was staying with us and used our address for his P.O) I am also wondering what will probably happen to him? He is a good kid (21 yrs old), he is currently enrolled at school. He is just scared of going to jail and we are afraid he might try to run. He has no priors. Is there any chance for this to turn for the better. My wife and I are in the process of getting an lawer to see what they say.
