I recently got hired and needed to fix my suspended licence. I called the licence branch & paid all my tickets. When i went to get them re-instated, They said a 90 day waiting period is in effect from the time i paid my ticket. My new job cant wait that long for me to get my licence. I was told the only way to get this resolved is to have the judge send a court order to the BMV waiving the 90 days.....but this will take a lawyer & money i dont have.....I need the job to hire a lawyer...Even if i request a temporary licence, or hardship licence, I still need a lawyer to plead my case. Does anyone know any legal advice for me??
PLEASE HELP!

I saw that Mitt Romney (former governer of Massachusetts) is having to put up with crap about running for president due to his religious beliefs. But in reality, people aren't supposed to bring their religious beliefs into politics anyway. So what are people so worried about? If someone like Mitt Romney was going to bring their religious beliefs into politics, then gay marriages wouldn't be legal in Massachusetts.

This is a new complaint of mine against a P.D. which thankfully I was not involved with, but it still stinks.
This California Beach town made a law requiring bicycle licenses on all bicycles in the city. The police went to the beach cut the locks off bicycles and impounded AKA (stealing) them. Regardless many were tourists and others from towns that don't require bicycle licenses.

Can a backround investigator call your high school and ask if you were suspended and why ? I know they can get your transcripts but was not sure if personal records were available to them. Are disciplinary actions (such as suspension) private?

It's my understanding the personal files are kept with a counseler and it's up to them to decide whom the info is given out to.

If you are an investigator Police/Fire would you ask this?

I have recently purchased a cell phone from a guy on ebay. He sent me a tracking number from USPS but when I enter it it says there is no such item. If he doesn't ship the item how would I go about sueing him? This was like a $250 dollar phone for christmas and this is bull if he doesn't ship it. He has like 98.9% positive feedback though. I'm going to wait about 2 days until I take action, I just want to know how to do it? Thank You

Here is the deal, beinging on Monday we've been getting calls from Lobel Financial. Problem? They are not our bill collector! They are looking for our neighbor, the first time they called they even said they are calling for a neighbor, that they can't get in contact with. They said they put the address in the computer, and our number came up as the closet address. How can they do that? Is it even legal to call someone when you KNOW they have nothing to do with it? I've filed a complaint with the National Do Not Call Registry, spoke with the supervisor of the company and told them I filed a complaint. The guy was so rude to me, and made me feel like I owe him money. I have a feeling I will be getting more calls from them. What else can I possibly do?

You know how crazy long the post office lines are these days at Christmas time! I have 3 packages that I have to mail (all are over 1 pound). Therefore I can't drop them in the blue boxes (it's the rules they have posted). I already have them stamped with the correct postage, do I still need to stand in line or can I just go straight to the desk and hand it to an employee? Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

What's wrong with National Healthcare? Having the HMO's and PPO's just give big business another means to control our lives! Maybe that's because if people didn't like their jobs, they could just quit and move on. IIs big business afraid of having empowered employees? If we had National Healthcare we could once and for all reduce the complexity of of healthcare! Is it so wrong the we as citizens have the right to healthcare? I'm tired of people using the Constitution, etc. as an excuse. Shouldn't healthcare be part of our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Just maybe Canada, England, and Europe just might have it right. Why can't there be a balance between the power of big business and the American People?

I know someone who molested a child about 30 years ago and he has never been convicted or accused or anything. The victim in the situation is the step-child of the molestor. My problem is that the victim allows her daughter to be around her step-father and know him as her grandfather. The little girl is 8 and her father is my boyfriend. We don't want her around that man at all, but the lawyer said that unless her mother stands up and does something, we have no proof, and nothing will be done. Is there websites or something where we can post his name or picture to let the world know to stay away from this man? This is making us sick because child molestors are always repeat offeders. They don't stop with one child. Any advice is appreciated!

My friend has a myspace page were he allows myspace users to post pictures and comments on his page of females in compromising positions. The females have no idea, and it's pretty big in my area. He tells me that he can't get sued becasue he's not the one posting the pictures, but I'm not so sure about that. Most of the ladies are in high school or a year out of high school, and a lot of people will see them. One girl said she will sue him, but he says she can't because she has to deal with the guy that posted the pictures of her, not him.

I worked at dairy queen only for a month. I had to call in because I needed to get x-rays on my back. The manager fired me and he refuses to give me my check. He says that I didn't sign in on the right paper, but that's because he never gave me a paper to sign in on and I would tell the other manager every day and the other manager would tell me to write down my hours on loose leaf. So I did and then when i wanted my check 2 months ago, he told me he lost the papers so i wrote down all my hours that were printed on the schedule and every week he would tell me that something happened so he couldn't get the check. Now he refuses to get me my check because he says it's been two months and he just doesnt care. They don't have any dairy queens above him so it's up to him if he gives me my check or not. But I didn't work there those 2 weeks for nothing so who can I talk to??

Do they ever actually go to jail? For how long? Or do they get a fine? Or does the judge just warn them and let them off??

My husband's ex wife who has been dragging him to court for 14 years practically bankrupting him (she's mega rich, he's not) FINALLY got a fine of $7500 that she is now ordered to pay to my husband in attorney's fees. But she's a violent angry woman who doesn't follow the rules and we're sure she's not going to pay in the 30 days that she's given, (even though she's a multi millionaire) so his atty is already making plans to file something saying she's in contempt of court in 30 days. (She cheats on her taxes, claims she only makes $60K/yr when she really makes $300+K. The IRS is investigating her. She also has a recent drug conviction for stealing controlled narcotics from her patients and she's on probation for that. If she's arrested for any reason, that will be a violation of her probation and she will lose her license to practice medicine.

Say a few liberal hippies who want to be artists get pregnant in order to have abortions, to use the aborted fetuses in a sculpture to be later sold at auction for up to $1,000,000. Is this art, is this legal and do you support abortion?

Are we not allowed to post what ever we want on Yahoo Answers as long as its not againt the law? Why should people who post law obiding comments be reprted if it is not unlawful and just degrading to some ones ego? We should be able to speak our minds freely on YA. This is America, not China or Russia. I think our First Amendment rights could possibly be violated here. What do Y'all think?
