I was caught on CCTV in Camden at 8.35pm. Ironically I'd pulled over as I didn't want to be driving whilst on the phone. No buses arrived in that period and I didn't cause any kind of traffic jam. There weren't even double yellow lines in the bus stop....

Okay, so I was in the wrong, but I still think this is tax by stealth.
:-(

While I was going down I64 at one point I reached 81 miles per hour (trying to speed up to avoid a long line of those huge trucks, driving near them makes me really nervous, a really stupid reason I know) and I was pulled over for speeding in a 65mph area, Because anything over 80mph is considered reckless in Virginia, that's what I have a ticket for. Other than this I have an entirely clean driving record. What are my chances of getting the charge lowered and what are the realistic punishments for this. Thank you!

By the way, this was in Goochland County VA, if that helps any.

An in-law occasionally borrows my car (in NJ). You don't normally ask a relative for proof of valid license in lending a car when they already told you they have one. But recently she was in a store writing a check and produced the form of ID normally used by folk who have no DL, and said her DL is at home. This seems very odd, so I'm wondering what the potential consequences are on my car, its registration and/or insurance when not-knowingly lending it to someone who is unlicensed?

I filed a police report against someone for trying to run me over with her car (she saw me out with my ex and she's fatally attracted to him). She found out I filed the report and has now told her lawyer that I falsely accused her, that I am a drug dealer (and I am certainly not, but she uses drugs) and she says her lawyer is going to write my boss (who is an attorney!) and tell him that I deal drugs, etc. I don't know whether to tell my boss, to go to the police again, or what to do? Help! I know, I know, this is a mess!

I've read that it is out of police jurisdiction to arrest illegal aliens unless they are caught in a crime (which escapes my reasoning as my understanding is that being here in the first place is a criminal act) then how does one put jurisdiction within reach of local law enforcement? If I am required to produce identification, proof of insurance and vehicle registration (say, in a traffic collision) then why are illegal aliens not required to produce papers?

He volunteers with the police band to play bagpipes during funerals, they asked if he would like to go on a ride along for fun as all volunteers are allowed to if they want to. He is so excited for this, but I am worried about it being dangerous. There have been so many police officers murdered in our city recently and I am so worried something will happen to him. There is no way of getting him not to go, he is determined. Are the ride alongs safe? I wouldnt expect them to put a civilian in danger, but have things like that happened before? Does anyone have experience with the types of things they take you to?

they wrote out the checks to themselves and to other people, over 7,000 we contaced the bank as soon as we found out and then we made a police report and changed all our bank infomation. They cashed the checks and the now they have the money,the people who wrote out the checks work for my husband and the banks gave us their names. We want to press charges and have them arested. Is this a felony? what can we do? who do we contact? what will happen to these individuals?

Got a £60 fine for this. I was due to collect a duplicate disc, as I had never received my original after ordering online just over 1 month ago.
Is it worth writing to appeal this? and although I was away for much of the month, potentially I could have been driving without displaying the disc for a considerable amount of time - could this result in a harsher penalty.

At about 1:30 am. a neighbor girl age 17 came to my door looking to use the phone. She told me that her dad (who is at work right now) called and threatened her that when he got home he was going to beat her. Its happened before at her house with her, her mom, and her brother. After she got off the phone she asked me to drive her someplace. I told her, I couldnt do that (helping a run away miner) then she said that she was going to hang out at the park (too dangerous) I couldnt let her stay here, I could get in trouble for harbering a runaway teen. I suggested that we call the police. I diddnt know what else to do.... anyway, they came and called her dad and mom at work. then they took her to juvi for the night to get her away. The thing is, they said they were going to report it to the cps. but they will bring her home tomorrow. Somehow I feel like instead of helping her, I made it worse. What should I have done? What if she comes home and gets beat to death or something?

I would also like to add that I have 2 small children here and I could be putting them in danger by letting her stay here, Espsially if her dad really is that much of a tyrant.
