I was in an auto accident about 4 weeks ago. And today I have court for a ticket that I recieved. I got the police report a week after the accident and in the report has the wrong weather conditions listed in it and the other person that hit me said that I was on a cell phone. Ok the officers never asked me if I was on a cell phone and by the way I dont own a cell phone. I got a ticket for failure to yeild and I did yeild, her car was behind a diffrent car that was turning. In the report it lists that I was going 30 mph and there is no way you can go that fast in that intersection! I was going about 15 mph. My car was totaled and I have never had a ticket in my life. Does anyone have any advice for me. Also on the report it says that I got a ticket for inattentive driving and I didnt get a ticket for that either. So the whole report is not even right! Does anyone have any advise for me?

I know some very frightening individuals, and I want to be safe. What options do I have in purchasing a handgun or shotgun and carrying it legally? I'm not trying to kill anyone and I simply want to legally have the resources to defend myself against people who value money above human life.

How would they feel if a suspect confessed to something they did not do, spent years in prison, and found innocent? All because they were anxious to get a confession, depriving the suspect of lawyer, food and sleep for hours and days on end.

Do you see it as a great scourge and all who use it should be imprisoned, is it a "gateway drug"(btw, all drugs are gateway drugs, including alcohol). Or is it a harmless plant which can be detrimental when abused?
Just want to see if your facts are straight here or you just react to rhetoric.

My mom has full custody and I am fed up and just want to go live with my dad, he said its fine and he sent me money and everything to get there, (my mom said she was kicking me out at the end of the week, but she denied it after)
i was about to leave and my mom called the police and the cop came over and told me my dad would get arrested and i would get in trouble too. Is he just saying this because he sided with my mother? Is that legal?
I am 14 years old and my brother who is 15 was doing the same thing.
Why is it so wrong, are they right to deny me the privilage of going to my dad's??? Was this legal for him to do?

If a security guard catches you having sex in an empty shopping mall parking lot, and he decides to press charges, I imagine that the charge would be "indecent exposure".

What is the punishment for indecent exposure? Jail time, a fine, community service, counseling, a warning, or probation?

Thanks for your answers!

Yes, I have this question posted in two categories because it's very very urgent!!!!
If I believe that myself and my infant child staying in the house with my husband who has recently shown himself to be unstable (not yet diagnosed, though) is not in the best interest of our baby, is it OK for me to move her with me to a safe environment which is in another state even if he is demanding I bring her back? There is no court order involved. I simply brought her with me to my family's house. Is there anything legally wrong with me having her here? I said he can come see her here while my family is here and he said he's going to. Does anything protect me from him just running away with her while he's here? Please help?!

He's also denying everything that I say he's done to make the environment bad for me and my baby, so no "proof."

Can you be arrested by a police officer (on public or private property) by telling the officer you are currently under the influence of a controlled substance (and not possessing any of it)? And specifically, in Arizona.

I sold my car to a guy about 2 and a half months ago, I signed over the title and thought that was it. Today I get a call from the police deparment saying the car was in an accident and it's still registered to me. The officer said the people who were in the accident might call me for my insurance info, which I don't have since I sold the car. What can happen to me? Or what will happen?
