It's disheartening to see that the botnet was able to run for 10 years before law enforcement was able to bring these guys down. Fortunately, it appears that only Windows users with outdated versions got the bot vpn programs installed on their computers. Security software only works when people...

It always amazes me how clueless some people are. How did that guy think the hearing would go when the judge sees him driving when the judge knows his license is suspended? SMH. I saw a video on the show Cops awhile back where the police asked the driver where his weed was. He denied having any...

The First Amendment does not apply, but some other law might. My state now has a law that bans all employers, private and public, from discriminating against employees because of their viewpoint. That doesn't necessarily mean the employer can't set reasonable rules for when the employees may...

Assuming that the OP isn't using a VPN that makes it appear he/she is located there when he/she is actually located somewhere else, of course. So the question Zigner asked is still relevant.

If you are located in the U.S. you'd have to prove that X actually knew the person/company with that X handle (user name) was running a scam and that it failed to take measures to stop it in a reasonable period of time after it learned of the problem. If you are in some other country, the law...

AdjusterJack's answer was premised on you already having gone to trial and been convicted, which you say hasn't occurred. His answer that the issue would be moot in that situation is wrong however. If the trial court admitted evidence that it should not have that is an issue that may be raised...

The latest court decision in Georgia that I found that dealt with that question is from 2006, and in that case the GA Court of Appeals stated: "Positive field test results are alone sufficient to sustain a conviction for selling or possessing cocaine. West v. State; Riddle v. State. Positive...

I'm assuming that your father in law was an enlisted sailor in the Navy or enlisted marine at the time this happened. In the 1980s, as now, enlisted military personnel sign contracts when they enlist and when they renew their enlistment. The main deal in the contract is that the...

A subpoena or summons for information to be used in an administrative proceeding is possible. They aren't just for court proceedings. It may be worth it for you to get the help of an attorney to prepare a subpoena to Verizon to get the texts, if they still have them. The attorney can also help...

No. Indeed, that's what the CU is going to have to do. CU's are formed to serve a particular community, and exists to benefit that community. Because of that, they are treated a bit differently under the law than a regular bank, which involves trade offs. One the rules is that the members that...

It should be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested. I fairly often see the terms certified mail and registered mail used on message board posts and internet pages as though they are interchangeable terms. They are, however, two very distinctly different services. Registered mail costs...

I agree with army judge. Get a lawyer. That will not only make the process go more smoothly, it will also give the lawyer an opportunity to discover how the mix up occurred, which would be useful in finding the correct party to sue if you have suffered any damages from this.

Your dog was already dead when you got to the garage. Shooting the other dogs at that point would do nothing for your dog. At that point, the best thing to would have been to call animal control and let them remove the dogs. You could have then later filed the complaint with the cops about the...

The terms of your union contract matter a great deal, too. For example, how does it define seniority? Is it based on your total time in the entire company, your time in a particular division/department, or some blend of each? You may have more total years with the company but it appears that you...

You'd best ask a CA attorney for that answer. What I would say is that if the trustee takes care to follow that instruction so that the trust actually vests or terminates within that 90 period. I can't predict the future and can't say if the trustee 89 years from the date the trust was created...

That's a bit vague. What exactly to you mean when you say you "brought this up" with your union? Did you discuss it with your shop steward and specifically tell that person to you want to formally grieve the issue with the employer? If not, exactly what did you do? You may file a compliant...

Almost every state (Louisiana being a notable exception) has adopted a rule against perpetuity. But a number of states have modified it from the common law rule that you stated above. California is one of those states. CA has adopted the Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities, which...

You've apparently not dealt with the IRS or the Tax Court on a real property valuation issue. Their long standing approach has been that the closer in time to the transfer that the appraisal is done the more reliable the appraisal is likely to be. Hence the advice by most tax lawyers and other...

Real estate agents are generally a poor source of reliable tax information. Their expertise is primarily in the area of sales, not tax or real estate law. The first issue is what kind of trust this was. If it was a revocable living trust (which is how most trusts established for estate...

The problem with that advice is that some legally prescribed drugs that are controlled substances are absolutely necessary to the person's health and well being. The term controlled substance does not equal illegal drugs nor does it always indicate the the drug would impair the person's ability...
