    Computer Crimes, Hacking What Rights Does A Victim Have Against A Cyber Predator?

    Okay ... these things can be criminal acts. Now that we have that out of the way, what PROOF do you have that it is happening? Not speculation, guesswork, or a hunch, but PROOF!? If all you have is stuff that the other person has mentioned that you feel could only have been obtained via your...

    Impeding Traffic for Sitting Briefly at a Green Light?

    CA does not have a true distracted driver statute, though, the basic speed law (VC 22350) is often used in that capacity. The section cited could be appropriate depending on what the officer observed ... 22400. (a) No person shall drive upon a highway at such a slow speed as to impede or...

    Sentencing, Plea Bargains Urinating in Public - Misdemeanor - Fullerton

    An attorney never hurts. But, it may be a few dollars for nothing. I have no way of knowing as I am not in your neck of the woods, so it might be best to err on the side of caution.

    Sentencing, Plea Bargains Urinating in Public - Misdemeanor - Fullerton

    Not usually, no. Most cities - or county District Attorneys - are not willing to proceed with these matters as misdemeanors because that means you have a right to a jury trial. These can be far more expensive and time consuming than an infraction. What happened at your arraignment?

    Trying to legally take care of my 14 year old brother

    Senecawoman, you accidentally found a 6 year old post to reply to. Some posts have few or no replies for various reasons. You might want to double check the dates to make sure you are not accidentally responding to an old thread where the original poster is likely long gone.

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Help me

    As AJ suggested, get your friend to pay the money in your stead. If he got you into this mess, he needs to get you out of it.

    juvenile law

    There is clearly more to this tale than someone reporting in November, 2014, that they were raped 2 years earlier in 2012. What you need to do right now is secure legal representation for your son. If you cannot afford an attorney, if he is charged, an attorney should be appointed for him.

    17 and 19 can we date?

    If "dating" means hanging out, talking, maybe holding hands and a kiss or two, then, yeah - it's legal. If it means copping a feel or anything remotely sexual, no, it would not be legal.

    am I legally able to transfer my self to a different school

    This late in the year, such a transfer may make graduation impossible. There may also be laws in your state that limit your ability to change schools without parent permission (even at 18). Are you enrolled in a special education program or some other special program outside the mainstream...

    Impeading Traffice?

    No one can say whether you can beat this before a court or not. You can start with a trial by written declaration and then file for a trial de novo if you lose (and you likely will if the officer submits a response). Even if the officer does not respond to a trial by written declaration, the...

    Jehovah Witness abuse

    If you think you can prove that there was a systematic coverup by the church's hierarchy, consult a civil attorney that has experience in such claims and see if there is still the possibility of a lawsuit. I suspect that you would have to argue as was done in a recent San Diego case that the...

    Medical Marijuana & Voluntary Cps Drug Testing.

    The record YOU saw may not be the record that CPS or the police have. But, my thoughts are the same: Consult an attorney prior to any drug testing, and, consider alternative treatments for his insomnia. You mention that he does not use marijuana around "my children." If this statement...

    Medical Marijuana & Voluntary Cps Drug Testing.

    If he does not use in the home and none of it is kept in the home, how is he using it? Does he drive somewhere, get high, and then drive home? And if the reason for the call was solely because of a domestic disturbance, why the request for him to get drug tested, and not you? Clearly, they...

    Medical Marijuana & Voluntary Cps Drug Testing.

    CAN they take your children? If they have sufficient cause to believe the children are at risk, maybe. We do not know what they know. Now, if dad smokes marijuana in anyplace that might expose the kids to the smoke, then, yes, they can and should take the kids. And it's interesting that...

    Accident question

    Well, in case others come here looking for an answer to the question as to WHY an officer in CA can cite for a violation he did not witness, it's easy ... the CA Vehicle Code grants the ability for officers who have received specific approved training to write citations for violations identified...

    Other Criminal Charges & Offenses just curious

    It's not uncommon ... the suspect may have provided it verbally, and it may have been incorrect ... it may have been entered incorrectly ... it may have been transposed on some other document ... etc. This is just one of many reasons why the SSN is no good as ID and why it plays little real...

    Other Criminal Charges & Offenses just curious

    No. That SSN will merely be added as a possible matching number (an alias number) to the subject's criminal history or other record. Such errors are not good cause to DISMISS a case against someone.
