Seriously, if I were ever arrested for a crime that I knew I was guilty of I would stay as silent as possible. What is it that makes criminals talk their heads off when questioned? What is so hard about keeping one's mouth shut?

Ok, so here's the situation. I presently have a court case pending. The charge is theft over $500 and theft scheme over $500. I had a previous charge in 2004 for the same charges but, they were under $500. I received 18 months supervised and time served of 2.5 months. I know I'm reaching here, but does anyone have any idea of how much time I might be facing this time around. Mind you I didn't do what I am charged with this time. Any comment that may shed some light on my situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am a soccer mom minivan driving mom. I was pulled over for speeding in the next town over. I pulled over in an empty grocery store parking lot with my 16 year old daughter with me. When I initially opened my window to speak to the officer I smelled a stinch of pot and assumed it came from the kids that were in the parking lot. He smelled it too and next thing I know the drug dog came, said it gave the sign of smelling drugs (only thing I saw the dog do was bop its nose in my gas tank) anyway, my van got searched for drugs. They didn't find drugs, because I don't do drugs or associate with people who do drugs, but they left all my lights on my doors opened and when they left my car battery was worn down. So I was scared because it was just my daughter and I and I called the police back and told them they left me there with my battery ran down and just my daughter and I in the parking lot (with the punk kids) by ourselves. They said they couldn't do anything. What are my rights?

I just watched a show on TV where they could track certain mental activity in the frontal lobes that relate to decision making where serial killers were underdeveloped. Should we treat these people like patients in the criminal justice system or as we currently have been.

I want a restraining order against this guy that has been stalking me. He told me I had to have sex with him or else he would destroy my life. He told me I had to give him my adderall prescription also. He kept sending me hateful messges....saying how fat, ugly, and disgusting, worthless, etc I am. Later, he sent messages saying he was sorry and that he couldn't live without me and if I stopped talking to him he would kill me. Last night he sent a mysterious message that said "you'll never guess what I just did." he just creeps me out....all thoes hateful messages really upset me. At the time I had blond hair and he said I had to dye my hair brown or else he would destroy my life. Someone told me that this is terroristic threats and harrasment. If I printed out these Instant Messenger conversations between us where he said he would kill me if I stopped talking to him, would the police take me seriously? He told me if I called the police he would just tell them I am a "psycho"

According to the ACLU, you are not required to identify yourself with ID to a police officer unless it is associated with a vehicle or traffic stop. The cops cant make you id yourself if they stop you on the street without probable cause of any crime. Recently states have passed laws claiming they have that right and you must id yourself if asked. How can they do that if this is a federal constitutional or bill of rights protection.

About 2 weeks ago, my laptop and my cell phone were stolen from our back room at work. I was on the clock at the time. The suspect rifled through my bag as well as a fellow employee's, a portable hard-drive was stolen from his. I filed a police report and pretty much got a "That sucks" from the owner, and that was it. I feel like I should get some sort of compensation from him because:
a. There is no proper place to store our bags, they either sit in the break room or behind one of the counters (all which are easily accessible to non-employees).
b. There is no door to the back room, merely a movable screen with a sign that says "STAFF ONLY".
c. We aren't supposed to allow non-employees into the back room, but the manager does anyway, in fact he allowed a friend of his and a father and his boy back there to use the bathroom during the time period when our stuff was taken.

Thank you. Any help at all would be appreciated.

I received a telephone call this past May from the FOP. This was my first call and I donated the $80 got the window emblem and card. Ok, fine. Happy to do it. But they must have sold, lent, or rented their list of those who donated as since I have received calls from firemen, other police, ambulance and so many others.

I simply say I don't have the money, thanks and hang up.

How do I get off the list? Needless to say I will never donate again due to this.

My underage neighbors smoke (not entirely sure it's tobacco) in their front yard. Normally, I would just let this go, but they dump their butts all over my yard, and there are tons of little kids in the immediate area, some with life-threatening respiratory issues. We also caught them smuggling a keg into their house. Can I call the cops on them when they are smoking? (I live in CA if that matters) What will happen if they are caught smoking tobacco, and what will happen if it is something else? I also worry because they smoke in their cars, and then drive off right after.

CONTRARY to popular belief you dont have to wait this holiday season in line just to exit the store by having the employees check your reciept to your bag (in any store).

Its a voluntary search you agree to by giving them your receipt and allowing them to do it.

BY LAW...no store employee can demand to see your personal belongings unless they have witnessed you trying to leave the store without paying for merchandise, or
witnessed you trying to hide merchandise in your personal belongings and exit the store

There have been many lawsuits springing up because Best Buy employees have went to lengths to stop and even block people from leaving, without legal authority.

Last year they blocked an off duty police officer and actually followed him to his car and parked behind him....
When the police came, they realized they were illegally detaining a police offficer.

EVEN IF THE BUZZARD GOES OFF,
.you dont have to let anyone search you or your belongings.

ITS LAW...call police check it

Okay, soo I was trespassing after dark in a cemetery, wasn't doing anything wrong, just exploring. Cops stop me, tell me they know I wasn't vandalizing, but "They've been coming down hard on us about this lately, so we just can't let you go" sooo they give me a thing I have to sign, which also tells me when my court date is(dec 13th) now they said I didn't have to go, but I could if I wanted to.

what I'm wondering is if I'm going to be getting a letter in the mail. I'm 18, but my parents like to read my mail..and I just dont thin k its their buisiness.. So, what I'm wondering is if I'm going to have to look for a letter in the mail? Will the court or the police be writing me for any reason? and if so, is there a way I can get them to mail me at a friends house or something of the sort? or maybe I can just go to the court or post office directly to pick up my mail?
