A friend was arrested by the police for an alleged crime, and they told me I could pick her up for $40. I asked if that was the bond or bail, and they said it was "the fee".

They only accepted cash, they didn't give me a receipt, and I asked if that money gets returned to me when she is proven innocent and they told me no.

I was told I was waiting for the bondsman to show up. I asked again and was told the money not a bond, but a "fee".

What the heck did I just pay for? I thought when you get arrested and want be released you get two option; pay the bond or pay the bail.

So my questions are:
1) Did I pay a bond instead of a "fee"?
2) Is it legal for a police department to only offer you the option of a bond and not allow you to opt for the full bail? If no, do I have recourse to sue to get my money back since I wasn't offer the chance to pay bail?

Seems like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just two pieces of paper in the way of police departments getting extra revenue

When they ask me to step out of the car, if I role up my window, throw the keys is the car, & lock it, they can't legally search it, right?

A friend of mine is serving time in prison for burglary. He wrote me a letter confessing to a murder he committed six years ago. I am in shock. Should I alert the authorities? He asked me to keep quiet. I thought prison officials read the letters prisoners send out.

The teacher in my school was sued for defamation.
He suspected that the student's needle mark and erratic behavior was from doing drugs. He reported this to the principal, who in turn notified the student's parents. It turned out that the student was a diabetic. Their parents sued the school and the teacher for defamation(Nobody else besides them knows that they were accused.
Is there anyways to defend?
It'll be helpful if you can tell me any articles or sections of the law.
It's much more effective than opinions and statements.

I was charged with some traffic violations from a city police officer. The next day at 1:30 AM he knocks on an obviously dark and slumbering house and I was unable to get to the door before he left. When I woke up later that morning I called the police station and asked them about the preceding night, they took my phone number and said the officer would call me.

When the officer called me back he said that he was calling to inform me they forgot to mark negligent driving on my ticket, he wanted me to mark it on the ticket. He had stated that he had tried to get a hold of me twice prior.

I live in Nebraska, and the ticket was from a Lincoln Police officer in Lancaster county. (I do not know if the rules change from state/county/city)

Can he do this?

I got a ticket in Athens, GA coming home from work, the cops was at the bottom of a hill and at 10:45pm at night with no lights on! Isn't that illegal for them to be at the bottom of the hill and especially with no lights at night? I thought it was state law that anytime a car is occupied at night along a hwy or street, there should be parking or marking lights on, or hazards. I am just building my case to fight the speed trap!

I agree that a transwomen has the right to keep her past a secret from bosses, friends, co-workers, the clerk at the counter, the paper boy but there is one exception. If she is going to engage in a SEXUAL relationship with a straight men then she needs to tell him she was born a man.
In a free democratic society everyone's rights must be taken into consideration. The man has a right to choose whether he wants to have sex with a post-op transgender women.
Understandable the average straight male would feel angry if they were never told. A few even become homicidal.
Should a post-op women always disclose her past if she is going to have a sexual relationship?

Plead no contest in Oct. 2005 - for calling in 21 vicodin for myself. They never confiscated pills, didn't even have them when I was arrested two months later and trial was in Oct. My lawyer talked a lot about expungement after probation fulfilled. But it looks like a Class C felony can't even be requested for expungement for 15 yrs. What happens if I move to Indiana? The same offense is a Class D felony and automatically becomes a misdemeanor after probation is fulfilled. Does my offense change to a Class D? I have been on probation for 1yr and 3mos. Done with comm. service and counseling. All I have left is the fine, but I am waiting to find this out. I was waiting to move to Indy after I had this taken care of, but should I move first? O! No record prior, not even a speeding ticket. Have stayed out of the field that brought me into contact with any temptation. What can I do?
