I got a ticket from a police officer last night because he said I came dangerously close to hitting a pedestrian in a crosswalk. However, I didn't see the pedestrian because it was dark outside, and while they could definitely see my Hummer H2, I couldn't see him. Also there are a lot of crosswalks out there, so how do I always know when there's a pedestrian in one? So why wasn't the pedestrian yielding for me? It should also be their fault for not driving.

Also, does anyone know any legal recourse for this ticket, and can I sue the parents of the person I almost hit (I got the person's information, but I don't know if I can sue them because they are only 14, it is the parents, right?)

According to norml.org (http://norml.org/index.cfm?wtm_view=&Group_ID=4566), it says that it is a class c misdemeanor with no incarceration time. Does this mean if a cop catches me with a marijuana pipe I will basically just get a citation and not be arrested? Serious answers only please.

So, if the body came in as a John Doe (unidentified) but then the medical examiner pinned an ID on him, how would he contact that persons family? Is there some kind of system with information like that? or would he contact a hospital or something to dig up the name of the dead guy from the hospitals files and see if they had a phone number of someone that he knew.
I'm a bit uncertain and would appreciate help.

More detail: The machine was faulty, I caught up with the car park attendant, and told her the paying machine was faulty on level 2, and that there would be a couple of cars there that hadnt paid the 20p/hour charge, she phoned her office about it. Half an hour later when I got back to my car, it had a ticket, to pay £60 or £30 within two weeks! I complained to the main office, they told me to write in and challenge it, I did so, and their letter reply was that I would have to pay. Now I want to know what to do about this, its infuriating, all because the machine wouldnt take my 20p! Ive now spent more on phone calls and letters. Personally I think its legal theft.

My inspection and emission stickers expired 3/07. I have yet to drive deep into Pa to get them done. What kind of trouble am I looking at? Can anyone help me out?

I'll try to keep simple.

Person A (Great credit, does not speak/read English fluently)
Person B ( Supposed to be "financial advisor")
Person A trusts person B - always the problem.

Person A signed paperwork to refinance home. ( or so they thought). Person B is helping out and takes person A to bank to finalize refinancing.

Sometime later... Person A does not hear from bank, finds out they signed paperwork for loan (only person A listed on loan), but where person B has access to money and is able to sign checks and spend the money - good percentage of loan is gone.

As I see it - Person A was scammed. But not quite ID'd theft since they signed the paperwork.

Now what? Does Person A have any legal recourse against Person B? I am open to suggestions... Thx.
