    HOA dues/FCC

    grin, be happy that they allow you to have satellite dishes. There have been many an ugly fight around the nation about this. I don't know about the FCC, but I guess the HOA is within its legal rights to make everybody pay regardless of actual use. But like I said, I don't know.

    Parking Lot Liability - Minor Collision

    hm, first things first: As the injured party he has to prove damage. So if in doubt, he should show you a correct estimate from a bona fide repair shop. I don't think that there is a "parking lot law." I guess what you mean is the "no fault" doctrine which is valid in 12 states. Under this...

    Arrested for owning an maintianing a easement

    whew, this really depends totally on the minute details of the case. Basically, if the easement is not recorded it is disputable. If you enter someone else's land, it is an unlawful trespass. Even if the easement would allow you to travel through the land, it is not clear it would allow you...

    Naturalization, Citizenship How long for a I-129F

    It all depends. The I-129F is for the issuance of a K-3 Visa. Usually this takes somewhere between 3 and 6 months, depending on the service center and the consulate. Once you are in the States with the K-3 Visa you can apply for an employment authorization, which might take another month...

    Powerbook fraud, scammed by SF seller

    I didn't say it was not a criminal offense, actually it sounds very much like it was, but what I said is, the criminal law doesn't necessarily help you to get your money back. The criminal law basically is about this: Someone has done something to an individual, but also has done something...

    Big Mess I am in, Can Anyone Help?

    I don't quite understand why this has become a problem. She wants $ 250 and you offered her even $ 500? Why dont you just pay the $ 250? What is the dog's value without the AKC quality? Is it more than $ 250? Law-wise this is a contracts law problem. You offered to sell a certain iitem, she...

    Parking?

    No, there is no law telling people how many cars they are allowed to own. What you should look for is this: -Do all the cars have current registration and tags? There very often are local ordinances against parking cars on public streets which do not have either. Otherwise, usually all...

    Powerbook fraud, scammed by SF seller

    Well, you are looking at a civil dispute here, not a criminal offense in the first place (it might be that, too, but what I want to say is: do not look to the police or FBI to get your money back). I cannot really comment on this case because I don't know all the details, but generally what...

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Dumb decision.

    First things first. No, you do not need to have left the store to be charged with larceny. Actually it would even be sufficient if you take something from the shelves and you would be stopped only a foot away from the shelf. But since this is not very smart in today's big markets, the point is...

    Naturalization, Citizenship Canadian obtaining dual citizenship

    Let's sort this out: If you were born in Germany and both parents were only American, you are American, too, but not German (Germany does not have jus soli citizenship). If one of your parents also was a German citizen you might be a German citizen, too, but only under certain circumstances...

    Landlord's responsibility for injury due to trampoline

    This is too vague to answer. We would need to know: where was the Trampoline, who had access to it, what did the landlord know about that, who was actually injured and how, how did the trampoline get where it was, what were the rules in that complex, how were they supposed to be enforced...

    Question

    This depends on the details and on what a prosecutor would want to prove. In German there is an interesting saying that has a lot of wisdom: translated it reads: "You went with them, you will hang with them." Now, what does the law say: A person can be held accountable for the crimes others...

    Condo Owner Harassing Other Tenant

    hm, not to disappoint you, but I doubt that the occasional slamming of a door -as upsetting as this might be, I sympathize there with you - would be enough to constitute a "substantial interference with the enjoyment of your property" which would be needed to bring a nuisance action. Don't...

    Condo Owner Harassing Other Tenant

    how is he harrassing you? Maybe you don't even need a special law but can proceed with a nuisance action under common law.

    Can my town actually pass this law?

    Now since this seems to be in Canada and I don't know much about Canadian law don't take this as an expert's view, but I assume they can. I don't think that skateboarding would be viewed as a basic civil right. The same way a town can pass an ordinance against rollerblading, bicycling, drinking...

    Neighbor refuses to let me cut MY tree down

    well, it is not that he has the right to keep you from cutting down your tree. He has the right not to allow anyone onto his property. If you find a way to cut down the tree without trespassing onto his property he cannot do anything to stop you from doing it. The law protects everyone's...

    Neighbor refuses to let me cut MY tree down

    Yes, any unauthorized invasion of the immediate air space above someone's property is trespass. You should try to get the tree cut down without touching the neighbor's property or air space above it. Since the tree is rooted totally on your land it should be your property.

    Posting photos on the internet

    what do you mean with "we put..." ? Was it you or was it her and you? Even if she agreed to you taking the pictures, that does not mean that she agreed to you posting them on the web. As the professor already said, this would be considered an invasion of privacy. But of course, if she consented...

    Criminal Law Misdemeanor petty theft; apllied for citizenship

    Yes, you probably can get a "dismissal". Here is a pretty good explanation of what you have to do and what effect it will have: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/other/crimlawclean.htm#whatdo For immigration matters though, the record will stand, that means you have to answer any...
