In the case of red light cameras, many cities are issuing tickets to the owners of vehicles that are photographed running red lights. The fine is a civil fine, but the driver can sign and affidavit identifying the driver if it was someone other than themselves.

The 5th amendment protects a person from incriminating themselves in a criminal case. From my understanding, such cases are typically considered criminal offenses, however, my city is taking them as civil fines.

What happens if the person refuses to verify whether or not they were driving the vehicle? Are you protected from self incrimination is a civil trial?
And how can you be fined for something that no one can prove that YOU did? (Photographs are ONLY taken from behind the vehicle)

After visiting my local neighborhood Wal-Mart where I bought holiday twinkle lights on sale for 2 for $5 upon bringing them home and reading the packaging I was horrified at the caution statement on the back.There was a lead warning that the wires are coated with a lead substance known in California to cause birth defects.So I went back to the store to return the lights and when the clerk asked why I said because the lights contain lead which cause birth defects the other clerk spoke up and said that it only pertains to CA and I live in Florida.So I guess since I am 3000 miles away from California I am immune?My question is:If something is known in one part of the country to cause cancer,birth defects,and such and I am not living there does that mean it wont affect me?I'm an educated woman with a masters degree but I cant see how/why I wouId not be affected.I understand that different states have different laws.I dont understand how this product can still be on the market regardless.

This is more for those who know a bit about Navy Regulations. I have a friend who has been charged with article 134, if you don't know what that is right off the bat it's Adultry. We just found out that he's on the long road to mast, and he's on legal hold, and he was supposed to transfer this month off the boat he's on.
Now he's an EM2 in the Navy (Electrician's Mate 2nd Class Petty Officer) and he's been in the Navy almost 10 years and he's never had an offense on his record during his time in the military or before his time in the Navy. He's pleaded guilty to this, come clean and admitted it truthfully.
What is the worst that can come of this? I mean what kind of consequences is he looking at? How bad? Will it be pretty much a slap on the wrist since he's not done anything EVER in the past??? Will he be able to transfer soon? If anyone has ANY knowledge on something like this I would totally appreciate whatever light you can shed. What are we looking at? Thank you so much

I received a DUI in Florida in Tampa in 2004 on a trip, can I get that expunged ever? If so how do I get this done as it showed up on my back-round check for a recent employer. I live in Maryland and it does not show up on that driving record. Anyhow I would love to get that one act of idiocy off of my record for good.
