I, have a question. I was visting Springfield,il from Los angeles ca.
new years of 2006. I'm sure someone out there has had this problem before. when someone that is in front of you and they are driving 3-5 mph with no turn signal on. i gently tap on my horn to let him/her know that others are on the road. It was just my luck that a under cover police officer was in another car when i did this. he never cited the other car for no use of signal. he told me it was against the law in springfield il to use your horn. and that i could have cause a road rage by tapping on my horn. I then nicely told him that i was not from springfield il and that i did not know the laws of il.rules of the road. he then said that was too bad and then hit me with a $75.00 ticket for unlawful use of a horn. i took it up with the citys attnys but was told pay or lose my license. so i paid
What i would like to know is why do we have car horns if it is unlawful to use them. was i right or wrong. please help me.

I was arrested for a dui...and they said my level was .3? I weigh only 100 pounds..wouldnt i be dead or near it if it were that high? This was after I blew into it after three times of it saying error. It doesnt make sense to me because i have read how dangerous of a level that is...and me being so little if it were that high i should have been throwing up or somthing. When they determine if you will go to jail is this what they use?

Yes, The State cops were at my house tonight for questioning over a crime of theft that was commnited up in the U.P of michigan. I was told I was being accused of this crime, when in fact the accuser told me they knew I didn't do it, when the oficers took me out side, they told me to fill out a report, when I said I'd rather have my attorney advise me first, they said I didn't need one for this, as well as they checked my bedroom and searched the house ouse as well, as I was going, as well I wasn't read my mirranda rights, as I have heard it is necessary for them to read me during questiuoning and as well being placed under arrest. What do I do from here? I need all the advice I can get, as I know I didn't do it as I wasn't even around the person who accused me when it came up missing, because their the ones who took me to my bus station to catch the bus home at the time. As well they said it will be sent back up north, then reviewed and then sent to the prosector

Former Prosecutor, Ex-Trooper Charged With Running NYC Brothel

NEW YORK — A former federal prosecutor, a law school student and a former New Jersey state trooper were charged Wednesday with operating a New York City brothel that laundered its profits through fake companies.

The charges against the former prosecutor, Paul Bergrin of Marlboro, N.J., stem from his taking over NY Confidential, a lower Manhattan escort service that one of his clients ran until his arrest in January 2005, prosecutors said.

District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said Bergrin, 51, and co-defendants James Cortopassi, 27, of Marlboro, and Hiram Ortiz, 41, of Newark, N.J., took in $1.2 million in prostitution proceeds in the first six months that they ran the service.

The proceeds, which included more than $800,000 in credit card charges, were laundered through two shell companies....

On a normal day, going through this intersection would have been a tough impulsive desicion. But the day I got my ticket, it was freezing and wet outside. The light turned yellow, but I wasn't about to hit the brakes and risk ending up in the intersection. I tried to tell this to the officer...but all he could say was "Maybe you should think about slowing down". By the way, I was going 30-35 in a 45mph zone. According to the officer, I ran the red light by 4 car lengths!!! I thought that this was rediculous, but I wasn't about to argue with someone who had legal authority over me. I plan to go to traffic court to fight the ticket, but I don't know how much leverage my story is to his "alleged" 4 car lengths. Do you have any suggestions???

I'm going to ask random things and sorry for typos.

I heard that if you guys don't give out a few tickets than you can be fired or low pay.

Are you really honest all the time?


If you make an arrest, say for little things like J-Walking maybe....Do you have to go through a lot of BS like maybe finger printing the arrest guy and other crap?

I heard that you have to be in shape like all the time but how come I see some cop really out of shape. ARE THEY UNDERCOVER?

Last one!! I'm about 5'5 to 5'6 and weight right now 140lbs. Think I can make it as a police. What position fit me best?

ok..... there are so many murderers in jail right now it's ridiculous. some who've killed years ago! WHY ARE THEY STILL ALIVE??????? The people that they killed didn't get any "time" before they died, so why should the murderers?????? For example, serial killer Richard Ramirez is still "awaiting" the death penalty-however he commited his last murder like in 1989! why is he still alive? Scott Peterson? Dennis Rader BTK Killer?????? Look at what they've done to so many innocent people!!!!!!!!!!! THEY DO NOT DESERVE ANY TIME TO LIVE!!!!!!!! Their victims sure didn't get any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is up with this????????

I was sold a counterfit computer program. Can I press charges on the seller even if he/she in Taiwan? Can we extradite criminals from Taiwan. The software was sent from Shangahi China, and the money was wired to Taiwan.

would you rather be isolated in prison with no paroll. Food is deliverd to you while you are in the cell. toilet is in the cell. youre the only one with no one around you. YOu just sit in your cell for 100 straight years. Or take the death penalty and see what happens

Ok I know the 'plain view rule', however, does smell count as probable cause? For instance, if the cop smells marijuana in the car does he have the right to search even when i say I do not consent to a search. If it matters

For all moral-high-horse-preachy people, I just want to know what rights I have. The marijuana example is merely hypothetical.

Okay so a police roll by my house and was checking up on my brother rite. Then they started to ask me question like my name and birthday because I was kind of rude to them. When they ask me for my name, do I have to answer them? I have some bad record and I don't want to tell them my name. I mean....What can they do to me if I just don't say anything and they keep asking me question... Am I suppose to answer them?!?!?

Well anyways, I just act like I don't speak any english so the cop left me along hehe...

I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of the lounge I had been at with a group of people. I had to much to drink so I called my boyfriend to pick me up because I did not want to drive. While waiting for him police came up to my window and took me to jail. I called and my boyfriend picked me up there instead of at the lounge. I thought the police were giving me a DUI. I was not driving so did not understand the charges. Well now in the mail I get this summons. Do I need a lawyer? Should I just go to the arraignment without a lawyer and plead my case?
