All he told the women was that they were beautiful and should consider modeling! WHAT!
There is no more to the story, it is all public record... I checked it out. The women are were oversensitive - AND THEY WON!
This man is screwed because he admired them.
Answer:
From this article, we only have a very small piece of information about the case. There are things we might not know yet.
Police officers would be very unlikely to arrest someone for not cursing, not saying or doing anything considered obscene, or not having physical contact (or threat of contact) with the 'victim'.
There hasn't been a lawsuit or a trial, so technically, no one's won yet. But if the charges are as baseless as the article suggests they are, I would expect the man to launch and win a successful lawsuit againt the city of Denver.
He wasn't convicted yet and I'm sure there's more to the story.
Obviously those women thought there was something else more sinister about this guy, but if they don't have proof he did something worse than complement them, the case will most likely get thrown out of court.
And he hasn't won yet -- he was only arrested. People get arrested all the time, but being convicted is something else entirely. Just because he gets arrested doesn't mean he'll be convicted, and if he's just been arrested, I'm sure you didn't see the whole story or read the public record -- there wouldn't be a public record or a publicly-available police report until the case has been resolved.
My instinct is that the news didn't get the whole story, but if he does get convicted, then the women obviously had a reason to complain, but you have to be convicted of a sex crime to have to register -- harassment, especially if all he did was compliment them, isn't a sex crime.
According to the article, he has only been CHARGED with simple harrassment, not sexual harrassment. Even so, WTF

Man breaks into house and makes sandwich in Phx, what should happen to him?
So, I live in Phoenix, AZ...some guy kicked in the door at this woman's apartment. He goes in and heads straight to the fridge, grabs a new package of ham and opens it, takes the mayo out and sets it on the counter. He then opens a package of bread and takes out a fork to spread the mayo with. He puts it all together and then leaves while dinning on his construction, leaving his mess behind.
The woman who rents the place heard the noise and went out to investigate, she saw the guy in the kitchen but he paid her no mind, she ran to the phone and called the cops.
While he was outside the other tenants stopped and detained this guy, when the police arrived, he was arrested...
So aside from the breaking and entering charge, a possible theft charge (a sandwich is what, like 15 cents worth of food put together?) what do you believe should happen to this guy?
Answer:
psyche evaluation.
Try him for break in and larceny.
Death Penalty!

Malpractice Attorney ?
I would like to know the Salary of A Malpractice Attorney and how long is their Education Time ?
Answer:
my friend does desk making malpractice he gets paid 10 dollars a week.
An attorney in the US must have a Juris Doctorate, that's three years of graduate school after a bachelors degree.
Very few attorneys practice Malpractice law primarily, but with any attorney their income varies. Some work hourly, some by the job, some a percentage of awards if they win (nothing if they lose) -- usually only corporate attorneys work on salary.

Making a youtube video, copyright issues?
Ok so I'm making a youtube video and have a directors acount. The catch with the directors acount is that it is illegal to upload copyrighted materials and my account could get deleted. I want to put music in my video, is there any way around the copyright issue? I heard that it is legal to use up to 8 seconds of a copyright song before it is illegal, is that true?
Answer:
There is no magic number or duration for how much music you can use before it no longer counts as "fair use".
Your best bet is to use old songs (1800s and before), since those copyrights will have expired.
As far as the video itself, if you make it yourself, you own the copyright for it.
The "way around" the copyright issue is to properly license the music you want to use. Using music as a bed for your video is not ordinarily a fair use...and there is no such thing as an eight second rule.

Make a complaint against a drug treatment facility?
Where do I go to make a complaint against a drug treatment facility? Other then at the place itself?
Answer:
You can make a complaint to the FDA
I would file my grievances with the State Department of Health and Human Services. Then follow up with a yellow or white pages search on the yahoo pages and enter in your experience and rate the facility. (as they will be helpless to remove your review from the public eye) Then contact the Better Business Bureau in your local area.
You could start off by asking the facility which agency regulates it. Then contact that agency.

Mail Fraud?
I have filed many claims and disputes (over 50), however USPS has done nothing to refund my money and products. Has anyone had a successful mail fraud experience with USPS before? I want to know if I should just give up now.
Answer:
No. By the way did you even send a product?
Most people have one or two in a lifetime. Why 50 for you?
Maybe your claims are not valid. Please update and let us know the nature of your 50 claims.
nope, I would fight it til the end
I've never had a problem settling a claim with them and I have had several. You just have to keep it as local as possible and fully documented with pictures.
It's hard to believe that one person could have over 50 legitimate claims. I suppose that you are no longer taken seriously and they look at you as a habitual complainer.

Made a mistake on some already filed legal papers - how do I correct them?
I filed some legal papers and I can look them up online and I see that I made an error regarding a date. Is there a form I need to submit to the court to corret this error? Should I just call the filing office on Monday?
Answer:
There is a pleading to correct a mistake. The name for the pleading is "Notice of Errata." (means error) Just file a paper that says, for example, "On page 2, paragraph 7, of the pleading filed on July 5, 2007, entitled "Motion for Judgment", the date contained in that paragraph is incorrect. The correct date is______________." This is just an example, but use it to correct your error and file the Notice of Errata with the Court and send a copy to the other parties. This is no big deal and you do not need anyone's permission to correct an error. Don't beat yourself up about it. It happens all the time.
Call the court on Monday. You may be able to amend as a matter of right (i.e. send in same document this time corrected with the word "amended" on the time) or you may need to file a motion asking the court for permission to amend.
In Fla. we generally just file an "Amended . . . ." whatever %26 include a statement that "this is filed to correct an error in paragraph . . . . erroneously stating . . . ."

Lottery Winner being Sued Need Lawyer Advise?
I recently (8 months ago) won lottery (power Ball) I'll decline to give the amount because its irrelevant long story short the Lady that I was with at the time we stayed together for about 4 months after that and needless to say money changes people. We broke up, and this will make her 2 nd time getting a lawyer to try and press charges to sue me. This time she states that 50% of the winning is hers because she is the reason why I came to Tennessee to live and if it wasn't for that I would not have won.
The first time was the day after we broke up she stated that blah blah pain and suffering and I decided to give her 50k to settle out of court and just be done with it. I guess she figured that was only about 5% of my winnings and she wanted more.
My opinion: She cant prove that I came here and thats the reason why I won BUTTTT! ever since that last episode you'd be suprise of what people can get away with if you have a decent lawyer.
Also had a house in our name. Had 2 sell it
Answer:
Just some information here for you to apply to your situation.
If several people own a winning lottery ticket, each person is taxed only on his or her share of the winnings. But these people must be able to prove that they owned a share of the ticket before it was declared to be a winner. If they can't, the “nominal” owner will be taxed on the entire amount of the winnings. How to do this? “If the ticket itself has a space or spaces to indicate the owner, that should be filled in with the names of the multiple owners,” “If it doesn't, the best documentary evidence would, I think, consist of a document signed by all of the owners, and dated before the date of the relevant lottery drawing. Having it notarized would be helpful, though it’s impractical. The document should specify which ticket or tickets are the subject of the ‘ownership agreement,’ listing all the owners, their precise ownership shares, and how much they contributed towards the cost of the ticket. If the actual purchaser of the ticket has given the other owners their shares as a gift (which is certainly possible in the case of multiple owners who are related), the document should say so. In that case, it's even more important to establish – by notarization or by other means – that the purchaser gave these ‘gifts.’”
This rule also means that a single winner can’t reduce his or her tax just by giving part of the winnings to other people after the fact. “The IRS is likely to challenge a claim of multiple ownership of a winning lottery ticket if the co-owners are all members of the same family. In that case, it is especially important to be able to establish by documentary evidence that the multiple ownership arrangement was properly set up before the lottery ticket was found to be a winner.”
My opinion..Simply put....no ownership agreement..no share!
No Proof or evidence.....gets nothing!
Not married.....no legal share through marriage!
If you want to end this altogether ASAP contact the attorney below....He can "Git er'done" He is an expensive attorney but gets results in 99% of cases he takes. Who knows... a simple letter to this lady from him may stop the whole shannagans! Good luck and congratulations on your winnings!

just be happy you won the damn lottery! if i could just give someone 50k id be pretty happy.
You should have talked to a lawyer before you settled out of court. Even settling out of court there are papers you sign to drop the issue. She can claim the 50k was a gift. Get off the internet and find a real lawyer. Good luck.
My first reaction is something like "and we're supposed to feel sorry for you?" LOL... but you're right, money DOES change people. I had the same problem when I came into some money from an inheritance, and all of a sudden I was everyone's indispensable "friend"!
I think your first mistake was giving her the $50K, you should have told her to go pound sand... but what's done is done. Consider it a charitable donation, I've done the same. ;)
As for the present situation, unless she has something TANGIBLE (in writing) that STATES "oh, baby - I'm coming to TN *JUST* to be with you.." (LOL)... I would let the situation run its course. Any judge worth half a damn will laugh her out of court.
There's also the issue of "free will" - you are an adult (I'm assuming) with the capacity to come and go as you please. Who the hell is SHE to say that "she" is the reason you settled down in a particular place?!
That's a BOLD golddigger you got there, hun... Let me know how it turns out!
Harleygirl in California
I would not worry about it she is not your spouse she is not entitled to a penny
If she can not prove that she contributed to buying the ticket I don't think she has any claim to the money. I would just let her go about spending her money trying to sue you. Hopefully, if it does go to court that your attorney is smart enough to not allow the evidence of the out of court settlement because that could be seen as you admitting you owe her something.
Once you are out of state it will be tough to sue you, especially this frivolously. ~
Before giving her $50K you should have had her sign an agreement that she would not pursue this further.
If you give her any more I'd have her sign a contract your lawyer draws up.
I wish I'd hit the thing.
it wouldn't matter if you moved there to care for her on her death bed, YOU played the numbers and YOU won the $.end of story.
let her sue, all she is doing is wasting the 50K that you already gave her.(and with the way she's acting, she's lucky she got that)

Lot's of people don't like to talk about abuse, why do you think that is? Does keeping quiet about it work?
Answer:
Work? That would depend on what you think the purpose is. I don't think people don't talk because they have some purpose in not talking that could work or not work.
But, I dunno what you mean there.
Would you like to talk about the most humiliating and damaging thing that had ever happened to you?
If you had been threatened?
Remains in shadows as they are embrassed to talk about it and that is why people get away with abuse,,,,
on physical/domestic abuse: i think some people are afraid that they will be accused of 'not minding their own business' and the abuser will find out who made a call and come at them. sometimes a call about domestic abuse makes things worse at home. unless the victim has the integrity to get out and stay out of the relationship. keeping quiet isnt good either. a rock and a hard place. victims are afraid they will be abused even worse if they even try to speak up. its really really sad.
What abuse exactly, like the Bush prisoner torture or like the Catholic priest rape and abuse. Both bad, but plenty of people will try to make excuses for both. Talk about the moral decline of a nation. Keeping quiet does not help, all should be held accountable for they crimes.
Fear of losing any more dignity and respect, combined with the fear that the abuser will get more aggressive . Bringing personal problems publicly, (except for Porky O'Donnell and all those entertainment freaks), is dreadful for many people, and many of the victims believe they are the reason why they are being abused.
Lord of the Manor Title?
Anyone know where i can buy this title? My grandfather use to be a Lord of Manor somewhere in Nottinghamshire, but the title was lost somehow, Now i want to get back the title but dont know how. can anyone help? thanks
Answer:
Yes, you can legally buy them.
http://www.lord-of-the-manor-titles.co.u...
No- you can't buy titles you need to be registered as a peer.
http://www.burkes-peerage.net/
You may style yourself as Lord of your Manor- but this isn't the same as a peerage.
Generally speaking you have to be a "land-owner" to be a lord (or Laird in Scotland) of the manor. There are loads of websites which sell you a ridiculously small plot of land (typically 12" x 12" - one square foot) which then entitles you to call yourself the Lord/Laird of whereever (along with the other 10000 people who have a plot of land in the same field!!). This kind of thing is legal, but the title is purely ceremonial and means diddly-squat. Frankly, I wouldn't waste your money, but some people get a thrill from being able to style themselves as a "Lord"...

Lobbyist Law-?
Are there any laws limiting the influence of lobbyists? Isn't the lobby system just legalized bribery?
Answer:
legislators ignore lobbying rules unless they get caught ,they benefit why kill the golden goose when its still laying golden eggs when last did a politician leave Washington with less than ten times his official salary before his pension.
The only thing I know about lobbyist law is that there is a time period between when a person leaves government service and when they can start working as a lobbyist. I'm sure there are other laws, such as the ones used against Jack Abramhoff, but I don't know the details. However, I do believe that if actual bribery is used, they can go to jail, as well as the person who received the bribe. What they mostly do is either promise votes or threaten to take away votes by how they contribute their money.
There are lots of laws limiting their influence. The fact is they provide a valuable source of knowledge %26 expertise on specific subjects to legislators who generally lack such knowledge. In fact lobbying is expressly protected by the first Amendment: " . . . the right of the people . . . to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Don't confuse lobbying with bribery.

What they mostly do is either promise votes or threaten to take away votes by how they contribute their money.
There are lots of laws limiting their influence. The fact is they provide a valuable source of knowledge %26 expertise on specific subjects to legislators who generally lack such knowledge. In fact lobbying is expressly protected by the first Amendment: " . . . the right of the people . . . to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Don't confuse lobbying with bribery.
Loan shark?
can i make a case for legalizing loan-sharking?
Answer:
One of the fastest ways to get cash with bad credit, and little hassle, would be with a payday loan. Yes they have terrible interest rates but they are taking a risk. This site offers more details about the payday loans as well as various sites offering the loans, many without even a credit check. Do your homework. Best starting point is here:

Good luck.
insurance companies is legalized racketeering so go right at it
You can make a case for anything. Doesn't mean it will be a strong one
Try it.
They are all legal if one is stupid or desparate enough to use them
Hmmmmm. Isn't that essentially what the Check Smart, Check-N-Go, Pay Day Advance, etc. franchises are doing ? I'd say you probably have a case.
Sure you can its called pay day loans. When you apply for your business license, just don't put loan shark down.

Living with someone on probation. Can they search my stuff?
I am living with someone on probation. Now I know that they can search the place if they are on parole but is that true with probation too? and they can only search the stuff that the person on probation can get to right?
Really I want to know what are my rights...or is me losing them the price I pay for living with someone on probation?
I live in California
Answer:
The person on probation can be searched at any time for no reason. The place they live ditto.
The searchers have no way of knowing what is your personal stuff and that of the person on probation.
i believe they are capable of searching a premises where someone on parole or probation is staying whenever they want so i think it is not giving up your rights but having your life and rights being protected by the probation agencies
When it comes to the law Judges, Lawyer's, Police and Probation officers can pretty much do as they please with certain limits and somewhat make up the rules along the way. But if you have something in the household that the person on probation isn't suppose to be around or that is Illegal maybe you should think about getting rid of it or that person your living with.

Living in a community that now has a lot migrant workers?
I never cease to be amazed how many of them drive around without road tax...even more frightening I wonder do they have insurance for their cars.
How is this allowed to happen as if I were caught driving around without displaying my tax disc I would be in deep mire with the police?.
Answer:
Happens in Ireland quite a bit too. Eastern Europeans in particular seem to buy old bangers and neither tax nor insure them. When the car "dies" you just leave it where it expired, there is a 13 year old crock parked outside my workplace for the last four weeks, oil leaked all over, had been bought by a Polish chap for a few hundred euro, probably thinks it's too expensive to "bury".
No they don't have insurance that is why out here in the southwest we all get uninsured motorist insurance along with the other parts of the policy.
And what is car tax? Is that some Yankee gimmick to get more money out of your pockets.
yes and that is part of the debate we dont want to pick melons and they cant afford insurance
A friend of mine is a cop, he has pulled over nine different migrant workers in the last 2 months. And out of nine, seven of them didn't have a drivers license, ID, or social security card.
People who drive without tax and insurance should have their vehicle crushed!
It could be that the laws in your area say that the lack of a tax disc is not a crime that can be ticketed on its own. Most states say that police cannot pull a driver over for not wearing a seatbelt alone. The driver must break another law to get pulled over and then the police can add the seatbelt charge also. Furthermore, if the vehicle is registered outside of your state, there may be nothing that can be done.
If you think this is unjust; talk to your representatives in the state capitol. Demand that they enforce the tax laws on these cars.
They're a total nightmare. It wouldn't be so bad if they could speak English, but that is how half of them get sway with everything, by pleading ignorance, or saying in broken English that they don't understand.
The nightmare we have where we live is that they are working in Dentists, and Opticians etc., and we are supposed to let them look after our dental health. I had one as a replacement Dentist. She was an absolute butcher.
That is up to the police they only need feed numbers in to on board computers to find out about about tax and insurance.Complain to your chief constable whats the bet he will blame somebody else for him not doing his job in enforcing the law.
it was same when I lived in Manchester all the Africans had not tax discs, insurance etc etc police do very little for fear of being branded racist we needed something like the Moscow GAI they would have every illegal car off the road in 3 days!

LITTLE MISS MUFFET! Just sitting around enjoying the sun..OR..Crack house sentry on watch for the cops???
Was she really so innocent that a lonely spider caused her to run away screaming?? Or was she strung out and tripping on some bad drugs? Just what IS 'Curds and Whey' anyway? Don't EVEN get me started on what a 'tuffet' is....
YOU decide today on Y!A Court!!
Answer:
i don't think she was Innocent at all. if shes so perfect what was she doing eating outside in a forest?!?
in my opinion she was a serial crack whore wanted by the police,the spider is a metaphor for the police.
That could apply to a modern scene, but when it was written, it was most likely quite innocent.

Liscence from iowa but driving in rhode island?
ok so my dad lives in iowa and i live in rhode island w/ my mom... so since they are not divorced and my dad owns a house in iowa and is considered to be a legal resident could i get my drivers liscence in iowa and still be able to drive leagally in rhode island?
note that the drivers age in iowa is 14 and in ri it is 16-17
Answer:
FYI 14 is the legal age in IA for a PERMIT, drivers license is 16. Sorry!
If you don't meet the minimum age for a state, you can't drive there, even if you have a valid license from another state where the required age is lower.
You are probably a legal resident of wherever you spend more time. If you go to school in RI and stay there for more than 6 months a year, it's probably your legal residence.
The bigger issue is insurance; if you are not of legal age in the State where you are driving, insurance will not be inforce and you would be driving without insurance.
Your MSL (Minor's School Lisence) is very limited even in Iowa and it for going to/from school and schoor extracurricular activities.
It an MSL is only valided during the hours of 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and you can only over the most direct and accessible route between the your residence and school where you are enrolled for school and extracurricular activities within the school district.
Your license would still be valid in Iowa if you are in another State; however, as you are not the legal driving age RI, it would not be valid in that RI even with the limited restrictions of the MSL.

Life sucks,DOES ANY ONE IN ATLANTA KNOW WHERE YOU CAN GET A JOB IF YOU HAVE A FELONY IN ANTHER STATE?
Heres my deal,I'm from IL moved to Atlanta GA and I have a background in IL.I did my time and it seems like america still wants me to do time if you know what I mean for those who dont know what I mean is this,I'm get a degree in school and have changed all my bad ways, I did time in the prison system and responsiblaly did it with out complant but I dont understand why a changed person wont be accepted by American people.I cant get a JOB,a HOUSE,or any thing cause of my past LET ME REMIND YOU I DID MY TIME so why does America hold these few individuales back that want to move forward?But any way I very mad at this system that American people and communitys hold aginst exconvicts that really want to be a part of AMERICAN culture.Bottom line is I need a JOB in ATLANTA GA that hires some one with a background in another state. P.S felony has been about 4yrs old PLEASE HELP
Answer:
Unfair.. yes. It should be different in the way that if one has done the time and paid their debt one should be a free and clear citizen. Those who have done so are often better citizens as they are more able to appreciate what it all means.
But. fact is there are millions of poeple who never had a felony. Of course there are millions of people who have not. Nowdays hiring a person who had a felony costs a whole lot for just insurance reasons.
4 years ago you messed up somehow. In this day and age a misdemeanor can bar one from emplyment. That is the point. it matters not how you did your time and that day or night that something happened.. it happened. It is an immediate drop as others did not place themselves in this position. Millions did not.
You can dig out but it will take some time.
WEll you can't blame them for being skeptical on taking the chance to hire you with a felony conviction. I like giving the guy a second chance but I would still be skeptical! Don't give up, stay focused!
See if a large call center would hire you. I know there are lots of customer service jobs in Atlanta.
I am glad you have changed your life. My hubby had a rough past and it has been very hard for him to overcome. Just keep at it and do good things. Remember that you're keeping your side of the street clean and you can't control what another person does.
You might also call Vocational Rehab down there and see if there's anyplace that routinely gives people second chances.
Good luck! :)

Life sentence for man who raped and murdered his niece?
Michael Mullen raped and murdered his 2 year old niece.
Today he was sentenced to serve a minimum tariff of 35 years.
Sounds like a long sentence? Mullen is only 21 years old, so if released after that time would still only be 46. Surely in such a case he should be told -- life means life?
How many years of life, achievement and happiness did he deprive that little girl of?
Any opinions?
Answer:
hi Constance I've said this many times let the parents at him first after all he took the most precious possession to them , then life should mean life and def NO ! parole and no little extras like they usually do cos of good behaviour my *** !! but I'm sure he will get his comeuppance in jail cos you know the inmates will get him and we all know prison guards turn a blind eye to this , if they don't there bit in first because the inmates hate child %26 elderly killers and abusers i hope he rots in hell !! ps...and stsw95 wonder if you would be sooo smart with yr remark if it was somebody belonging to you ? you sicko
He should be castrated and then locked away until he died.
Sorry; he's the reason I believe in the death penalty.
SHOULD`VE BEEN HUNG. PREFREBLY FROM HIS GONADS. HE`LL HAVE FUN IN JAIL
they should chop his wots it off and keep him in prison till he rots the disgusting dog !
he should be hanged! ;P
That's what happens when you let Europe dictate the laws
If I'm reading this correctly, then 35 years is the MINIMUM amount of time he'll have to serve. He could (and probably will) be denied parole several times and he is a high target for a shanking - prisoners hate this crime.
He should have got a MAXIMUM of THIRTY FIVE SECONDS, - before being DRAGGED to a GALLOWS!
Just think of all the people he has tainted with this inhumane act against his own family. They should let them judge what could be done with him.
I posted a message about this earlier. This is so sick, I do believe that for cases like this, if life isn't going to mean life, then he should be given the death penalty. He doesn't deserve to breath our air after what he has done. He has deprived the little girl of at least 70 years of her life, her family of grandchildren and memories. Even better, how about putting him in a building with all the other paedos, rapists, terrorists and murderers in the World, stick the building in the middle of the desert and nuke it! The best way to get rid of sick trash!
He should have gotten `Life` meaning life. The hell he put this young girl through is terrible. They should cut his wotsits off with a rusty blunt pen knife, and let the family of the girl give him a good kicking once a week for the rest of his miserable life.
35 years would make him 56. And thats the MINIMUM tarif.
Fact is nowadays sentences are longer than at any time in the past. A 35 year tariff is pretty unprecedented.
Anyway I hope he gets fucked up bad inside!
violence and cruelty arn't the answer!...but in this case.im in with u guys do whatever you want with him!
he should have had two life sentences, one for each year his defenceless, trusting, adoring niece lived for.
there really are no punishments that would fit this scumbag - his sister will have to live with the knowledge that her beautiful daughter was raped and murdered by the person she has known for ever.
hanging would be too good for this monster...yes life should mean just that hope they wipe the floor with him in prison ..
Hang him ! umm that is too quick.
but Life should mean Life in this case.
The newspapers only scratch the surface of his appauling crime.
I strongly hope that some sort of Death Penalty can be brought into action for serious crimes that the defendant pleads guilty to.
Life in prison for this animal would be easy as I don't think he's be allowed to mix in the general population.
He should suffer and be executed.
Unfortunately "an eye for an eye" no longer applies in so-called civilized societies. If I had my way, I would cut his off, one inch at a time.
Bring back the death sentance.
Eye for an eye and all that, but as they're too gutless to carry that punishment out..cut his nads off the old-fashioned way - tie a piece of cotton round them REALLY tightly until they die and fall off. Keep him in a prison with no windows or lights like the one in Count de Monte Cristo, and give him regular beatings so that he knows what day of the week it is. Oh yeah, when an inmate comes to the jail with a serious mood problem and history of GBH, make him share the cell. In a normal prison, make him associate with the other normal (I use that term loosely!) criminals, no matter how corrupt they can be, they all hate a paedo and will sort him out properly.
Normally courts will make up for the age difference by sentencing someone to 85 or 100 years in prison for heinous crimes, and this definitely qualifies. I believe that murdering a 2 year old girl after raping her is definitely akin to a life behind bars, regardless of age.
I thought murder with intent was a life sentence but I don't know why he's been sentenced to just 35 years. Unfortunately the law is in a mess in this country and murderers are given exceptions to their disgusting crimes. He has no excuse for killing an innocent child, where is the justice in that? Murder and rape is the most severe crime of all and his sentence is pathetic.
I was sickened and disgusted by this and so will everyone else be.
If he's not put into solitary immediately, he soon will be when the wardens turn their back for 5 minute and let the other prisoners do what they want with him.
But there is bound to be some goody 2 shoes out there who doesn't think he deserves that long in prison and his rights are being violated. Sickos like that shouldn't have any rights.
If you have to serve life it should be LIFE %26 you only get out with your wooden over coat
He got the right sentence as it is
well as we don't have the death penalty (mores the pity) Then i agree, life should mean that, life - he dies in jail.
Sick bastard. Hope he gets a good few kickings whilst inside.
eye for an eye shoot the f**ker in the balls an let him die a slow death.
i think they should let the childs parents punish him, at the end of the day he took there most precious thing in the world from them. how sick are people hese days.
Slit his throat and maybe torture him before that, god I miss the old days. go 'I spit on your grave' on his pervert ***/balls.

Life of a Lawyer?
I'm in college studying political science and I think I'd like to be an attorney. Many people in my family are/were attorney's and I think it is what I was made to do. However I'd sorta like a life too . Do all lawyers work 16 hour days and weekends? I'm not particularly interested in becoming hugely rich, it'd be nice, but having a life and family is nicer.
Is there legal work available thats not...all consuming? Are most lawyers generally successful no matter where they work? Are there poor lawyers (financially, ha)?
Answer:
It's a broad profession, like being a medical doctor.
If you go to work for a law firm (typical out of law school), then yes the first few years are insane hours. It's sort of like hazing -- something you get through.
However, working for a corporation as an attorney is more of a 8-to-5 standard, just like any other corporate officer.
Also, it matters whether you are in litigation (court) or transactional (paperwork) areas of the law. Transactional tends to be more steady pace, with roughly the same amount of work each day and each week.
Litigation is much more variable, with (again) insane hours immediately before and during a trial, but much less intensity in the months between trials.
Then there are private sector versus public (govt) jobs -- and lots of other variations.
Go into law if you love the structure of the law, and you love building and crafting logical arguments based on similarities and differences an analogies. Don't go into it for the prestige or the money.
Why not do something that contributes more to mankind?
Your addition to your question is right on the money. People love to bash lawyers (and we sometimes deserve it) - but it all stops when it's their rights at issue. That's when they realize how valuable it is to have someone who works hard to protect them.
To your main question: assuming you graduate law school with top grades, you can choose your lifestyle, and have an income that matches your choice. If your grades aren't as good, your choices will be more constrained, but you'll still have some.
Some attorneys opt to work on their own or for smaller firms, where there is recognition that the practice of law need not be all consuming. Some work in government, public interest or in house corporate work, in which the hours are often quite manageable (government and public interest work pays a lot less, though!).
But if you're out for the brass ring, big firm work tends to be brutal in its hours and pressure, though VERY lucrative, with top firms offering in excess of $150,000 per year to first year associates.
Having a family and a life is something I found very important -that's why I practice in my own small firm. It lacks the financial security of the big firm - but I'm able to take my sons to school every morning, and pick them up many days, too.
Good luck!
I hope not! I wanna be a lawyer to!

If you go to work for a law firm (typical out of law school), then yes the first few years are insane hours. It's sort of like hazing -- something you get through.
However, working for a corporation as an attorney is more of a 8-to-5 standard, just like any other corporate officer.
Also, it matters whether you are in litigation (court) or transactional (paperwork) areas of the law. Transactional tends to be more steady pace, with roughly the same amount of work each day and each week.
Litigation is much more variable, with (again) insane hours immediately before and during a trial, but much less intensity in the months between trials.
Then there are private sector versus public (govt) jobs -- and lots of other variations.
Go into law if you love the structure of the law, and you love building and crafting logical arguments based on similarities and differences an analogies. Don't go into it for the prestige or the money.
Why not do something that contributes more to mankind?
Your addition to your question is right on the money. People love to bash lawyers (and we sometimes deserve it) - but it all stops when it's their rights at issue. That's when they realize how valuable it is to have someone who works hard to protect them.
To your main question: assuming you graduate law school with top grades, you can choose your lifestyle, and have an income that matches your choice. If your grades aren't as good, your choices will be more constrained, but you'll still have some.
Some attorneys opt to work on their own or for smaller firms, where there is recognition that the practice of law need not be all consuming. Some work in government, public interest or in house corporate work, in which the hours are often quite manageable (government and public interest work pays a lot less, though!).
But if you're out for the brass ring, big firm work tends to be brutal in its hours and pressure, though VERY lucrative, with top firms offering in excess of $150,000 per year to first year associates.
Having a family and a life is something I found very important -that's why I practice in my own small firm. It lacks the financial security of the big firm - but I'm able to take my sons to school every morning, and pick them up many days, too.
Good luck!
I hope not! I wanna be a lawyer to!
Life Insurance ordered by Divorce Decree?
Upon death of my ex I was informed that he had not paid the premiums for the court ordered Life Insurance. Is the Estate liable for payment of this debt? Estate Lawyer claims that if all Beneficiaries agree then I would be paid, but the 3rd wife ( of about 3 years) who was no longer living with him but was still married to him does not agree. I was married 17 years, 3 kids, and she gets more than enough. What are my options?

License ownership?
Is it legal for a parent to take a driver's license from a child, since it's state-issued ID?
I'm under the impression it's not.
Answer:
Your friend can literally stroll into the DMV or the Secretary of State and get a new one claiming the old one was lost. As to the state interfering in a parent-child relationship, they can and will if there is provable abuse. If, however, it's found out that your friend was driving recklessly or engaging in behavior the State considers dangerous then the parent would be in the right.
This question is difficult to answer without more details.
Probably not, but there's no incentive for the state to interfere with a parent/child relationship.
Besides, your friend just has to go to the DMV and get a replacement.
If the child is under 18, the parent has the right to take the drivers license away.

LIbby!!So, now people will still defend this America's great equal rights system?
It is a shame that the president is going to pardon Libby and that other people have to do all the time in jail for petty staff
This is proof of how this system is failing middle class and never the less poor people. There is no such thing as equal rights, and it will stay like this because nobody cares until it hits home.
Answer:
Damn straight. The 1% representation of America NEVER suffers the hand of the legal system. Best examples are of course Scooter Libby, Paris Hilton, O.J Simpson, Robert Blake, Michael Jackson and so on. They all are the 1% and can break the law at will without consequences.
Meanwhile we have over-population in our county and state level prisons because of ridiculous offenses. Most are first timers serving 6-10 for charges steming from anything little thing as drug possession ,car theft to grand larceny. While it's true everyone broke the law and needs to pay, some pay more than others. Why should a guy serve 6 years for marijuana possession when a national figurehead like Libby walks on a pardon after committing perjury,withholding information and taking part in a leak that caused a CIA agent her job?
Our legal system is a sham. It will never be right. Thousands will rot in the prisons while hundreds run free laughing at the law. I wish we could throw all these crooked *** rich people in the system and not some cozy federal camp, a real dirty lowdown State level hell hole and maybe the judicial system would correct itself after so many rich people would ***** about it.
We the average joes have no power.
Hey, the president is only doing what he'd do for any citizen who had the goods on him and his administration and who might spill their guts if they had to go to prison.
This is new information? Clinton pardoned over 400 felons. Next question please.

Libby or Paris: who deserved the longer jail term?
Now that the smoke has cleared, we can see that in the eyes of the American injustice system, Paris Hilton deserved more time in jail than Libby. Hmmm, can that be right? Or do we have the best injustice system that money can buy? Is this a great country, or what?
Answer:
Libby was just being a good soldier - following the orders of his president and vice-president. - That is why the sentence was excessive. Bush and Cheney may very well have told him to lie to the grand jury and prosecutor. - The most reasonable explanation for what has happened, is that Bush and Cheney don't want to see Libby in jail, where he might start talking in an effort to reduce his sentence. If anybody should be doing hard time for this cover up, it is Bush and Cheney.
Paris didn't have this corrupt President to let her of. Bush is a traitor to justice.
Libby and George W deserve the longer term.
Good question, you get a star.
I do think America does have the best injustice system in all the world and how can a man like Libby be given a pardon by the president and two men like those two border guards have to spend so many years in prison for doing their Jobs, I will never understand. Mr President I think you need to be sent to prison for doing your Job ,now that would be justice
good question
paris
both were tried and found guilty and given a sentence --- which should have been honoured --- the justice system in your country has been made to like an '***' ; and rightfully so --- if mr or mrs average had committed such offences --- will the same 'level ' playing field apply --- i think not .
it makes a mockery of people who went to university , studied hard to become something in the judical , just to see it' shot ' down by nothing short of a farce --- somebody mightv'e shot the sherriff --- but they sure as hell have shot the deputy ; and themselves in the foot ! --- it's a joke !!
bring it on bushie --- and other would be ' do gooders ' ha! ha! --- your the laughing stock of the world !
See, this is what happens when the inmates are allowed to run the asylum!
Bush is an idiot and is an absolute disgrace, not only as a "president" but as a human being. Is this what they mean by "the land of the free"?
they both deserved at least 20 years in jail.
to be honest libby should have been executed
Libby should be doing 50 years, Bush saying his 2 year sentence was excessive is another crime to the American people. I have all of the Scooter Libby trial (Washington) PDF files and live MP3 of Scooter's statements embedded in my blog post. I didn't plagiarize any of it, the post comes from the New York Times and the US Government. It is public information. Source: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-jbgnink9f...
I'd rather see un-American patronizers of freedom..
in stocks in the town square..where the rest of us can heap the same scorn they heap on us..they do with their tiny minds
but paris..she can go clubbing..maybe kill a kid or two drunk driving..
Bush will pardon him,he is a whipping boy,politically.

Libby got pardoned?
Are you serious he was only gettin like 30 months! that's cake walk. I thought he was getting a good deal!
Does paris hilton have more gutts than libby!
Answer:
Ah Paris just didn't have friends in high places.
Libby fell on his sword protecting his boss - Cheney. Anybody who is surprised by all this is dumber than Forest Gump.
Libby was not pardoned
1 month in the hole would be more than I'd want.
Would you want to spend 30 months in jail, after all it's a
cake walk, Actually Libby's sentence was commuted
not a pardon, he must still pay a $250,000 fine and serve
2 years of probation. If pardoned he would not have to
pay the fine nor do the probation.
Liibby didn't get pardoned, he got a partial communted sentence. Try staying up with the rest of us! The good deal, obviously, and I have to point it out to you kool-aide drinkers, was the Commuted sentence! He should have been pardoned for all!
You have a good point... Yea Paris lasted the time she was given.. and its so stupid they pardon him.. oh 250.000.00 fine.. thats like pocket money to him.. and 2yrs prob.. what is he gonna do wrong/. Bush needs to be out of office before he does anymore wrong...
his prison sentence was commuted which means no jail but the rest of the charges and penalties stick.
pardoned means hes totally free of all charges and penalties.
i still think its bull..
i guess Paris just doesn't know the right politicians
No he was not pardoned.And to whoever mentioned Paris Hilton you have got to be kidding.She was crying like a school girl with a skinned knee!!
His sentece was commuted and his crime stands.

Libby Could Have Gotten 30 years & 30 Months Is Excessive?
Libby not only lied repeatedly to a Grand Jury, but never admitted he lied. And Bush said "I respect the decision of the jury." meaning he believes Libby was guilty. So how can he think Libby shouldn't be punished?
%26 Susan McDougal served 1/1/2 Yrs for refusing to testify in the Whitewater case.
Answer:
The problem with comparing Clinton lying and Libby lying is that nobody seems to understand sex is a eprsonal thing, whereas what Libby did undermined national security,
What Bush just did undermined our whole legal system, with it's checks and balances. If he respected thejury's decision, he should have stuck with it. But instead, a little before July 4th, he commutes Libby's sentence. Just you watch, just before he leaves office, he'll pardon him outright.
That's the way this administration works: lie to the people, protect your own and to hell with the country.
What can you do about nothing thing nothing thing ho God this feels good
You are a damned liar you lib. Libby had a bad memory but it happened to be in front of a grand jury. Why haven't charges even been brought against the Clinton holdover who actually DID out Valerie. Remember Richard Armitage? I know libs don't like facts, but damn, lets not be stupid here.
Libby should have been made to serve out his term in the same cell as Paris Hilton at the same time.
Bet that would have fixed both of their memories.
I agree with you, I would love to say more but I seem to have someone on here telling me that I am an idiot when I answer a question.

Lettin' Scooter scoot, do you feel good about this abuse of power?
Well, I suppose the only people who are allowed to lie to Congress are the Republicans, but only in treasonous cases.
If your a Democrat, you get publicly chastized for it. If your a Republican you get your sentence commuted.
Nice show of croneyism, Mr. President.
Answer:
Those three guys are living in a fantasy world.
Bush doesn't care about America, it's laws or it's people. He's in it for himself.
It wasn't an "abuse of power" when Clinton did it.
Yawn ... Wasn't abuse of power, president had a legitimate right as all other presidents before him.
Abuse of power isn't a Democrat or Republican issue. They both have done it throughout the decades.

Let Go after Maternity Leave oin Califonia?
I Live in California, came back from my maternity leave, and was let go. Buisness was slow, and while on my (unpaid leave) others were let go as well. Im not sure if this is illegal or not. I have worked there since june 2005 full time, there are about 20 employees, and its a family owend buisness. Can they do this?
Answer:
Unfortunately I believe they can. FMLA usually only applies to companies with 50+ employees. Also since they let others go, it would be hard to prove that it was in retaliation for your being on maternity leave. California should however have a FMLA hotline number (most states do) that you could call to see if you have a case or not.
Yes. They can do that.
If they were letting others go and business was slow then you will have no case, it probably would have happened anyway. I've seen it before.
Don't know how you can fight it if others were let go also. It doesn't seem related to your performance or the time you took off for leave.
Good luck finding a new job.
PS ***Did they keep the person that you trained? Was she hired only till you got back from leave?
They absolutely can let you go under these conditions. There is no evidence of prejudicial treatment.
If they only laid you off, and then replaced you, then you would have a case.
Were you on FMLA at the time?
It's my understanding that with the Family Medical Leave Act you are allowed time off for maternity leave. Your employer is required to hold a job for you. It may not be the same job you were doing, however, they are required to have a job for you at relatively the same pay.

Legally how long does a person have to get there possesions out of a persons home after being informed?
Possesions were left at someones home for 4 months and were told it was ok. Then yesterday was told to get them out at this time we have no money to use for gas and or get a uhaul. There were some big things left there. Do they have the right to set it on the curb if they wanted? Shouldn`t I have time to remove it if I was told to leave it there and was not given a time limit? Especially if its a relative?
Answer:
Legally, you have no rights. Hopefully, your relations will be nice. If you left big stuff in my home for 4 months, I would be wanting it gone too.
it might be different state to state, but i believe they have to give three day grace. in columbus ohio our landlord told us we had two weeks.
It really depends but usually it is about 10 days-2 wks
I don't know about the whole legal thing but I would think about it this way. It is on thei property. THey have the right to move it about their property as they wish. Meaning yes they could put it on the curb and we all know garbage pickers will come by and take it. However you would think if they were family they would be a little bit more considerate but people are crazy in this world today. Good luck.
30 days is usually the standard but it depends on the state your in sometimes. After that you forfeit your things and it becomes legally there's to do what they want with. Put it on the curb, sell it, have a fire in the backyard if that's what they want. Doesn't matter if its a relative or not but you do have a time limit. You best bet would be to ask a local police officer, they would know exactly how long you have.
well, with a relative it gets tricky, if u were told u could leave it thats fine, but they said get it out and you can't right now. if they have a court order making you get it out and you don't then yes they can. however, they still could, and you could sue them over it if they don't have a court order. however, if it is beacuse the house got sold or something, then yeah, they can throw it all away, becauwse they have to empty it.
Morally, no, bet legally, yes. I would talk to them and explain, we dont have the gas/money for uhaul/ etc right now, can we get it after payday, or whenever you have in mind
In Oregon you have 30 days.
4 months is a long time to use someones home for storage. When did you tell them you would remove these belongings? Have you exceeded that date?
Your best bet would be to call and calmly explain your situation. Ask if they would please allow you a few more days to get gas money, etc so that you can collect your belongings.
Call your county magistrate for the answer.

Legally changing your last name.?
I've applied for the documents I'll need to file and I know I need to petition the courts. My questions- How do I petition the courts and does it cost to do this? Also, does anyone know how long it takes to have the process complete?
Answer:
The cost of the Petition is called a filing fee. Check with the clerk of courts in your jurisdiction or the court website for the fees. In most places you must publish your intent in the local news paper for 3-4 consecutive weeks. There is also a fee for that. Once that is done you have to file a certificate of publication and get a court date. Once a judge approves the petition, the order is usually effective immediately. How long the process takes depends largely on the court docket in your location. There is nothing you can do to speed up the required notifications. You will need a certified copy of the order to make the changes to your driver's license, etc. And social security will not change your name until have a picture ID in your new name. A name change will not be granted if one is doing it fro fraudulent purposes or to try to evade creditors.
Yes it does cost you , and then you have to change drivers license, social security card, etc.
The average cost of changing any part or your whole name varies from $1500.00 and up in most cases with the exception of getting married which cost next to nothing. The process on average takes any where from 3 months to 6 months . Even after all the changes are done you will still be responsible for any debts you still had under your old name or any other legal things which people think they can get away with by changing their names. Beyond that once the initial forms are excepted by the courts you will be given a court date so a judge can talk to you and decide if you have the right reasons for changing your name .
Answer:
The cost of the Petition is called a filing fee. Check with the clerk of courts in your jurisdiction or the court website for the fees. In most places you must publish your intent in the local news paper for 3-4 consecutive weeks. There is also a fee for that. Once that is done you have to file a certificate of publication and get a court date. Once a judge approves the petition, the order is usually effective immediately. How long the process takes depends largely on the court docket in your location. There is nothing you can do to speed up the required notifications. You will need a certified copy of the order to make the changes to your driver's license, etc. And social security will not change your name until have a picture ID in your new name. A name change will not be granted if one is doing it fro fraudulent purposes or to try to evade creditors.
Yes it does cost you , and then you have to change drivers license, social security card, etc.
The average cost of changing any part or your whole name varies from $1500.00 and up in most cases with the exception of getting married which cost next to nothing. The process on average takes any where from 3 months to 6 months . Even after all the changes are done you will still be responsible for any debts you still had under your old name or any other legal things which people think they can get away with by changing their names. Beyond that once the initial forms are excepted by the courts you will be given a court date so a judge can talk to you and decide if you have the right reasons for changing your name .
Legally change your name?
Where do you go, and how much do it cost?
And when you change it does it change in everything, like social security, birth certificate, mail, credit cards, drivers license etc.?
Once you change it, does it show in your record that you had a name change, and what your name was before you changed it?
Thanks =]
Answer:
You have to go to court to have a legal name change, but you can change your name at anytime as long as you are not changing it for criminal purposes. It is your name, and you can choose to be called Lollipop if that is what want.
When you do get your name change, you are responsible for changing it for everything, but your birth certificate cannot be changed.
You go to your county courthouse and file the paperwork. It costs $140 for the filing fee in Arkansas. You must change it yourself with Social Security, and everyone else as well. Just give a copy of the judgment to each agency %26 utility, etc.
It does show on your records what your birth name was.

Legalize pot NOW.?
Yes .no. maybe. what do you think
Answer:
My boyfriend is studying Health in College and he gave me this argument (and we DO NOT USE DRUGS AND NEVER HAVE, just for the record) He learned that Nicotine is more additive than any other drug..and it is legal, Alcohol is addictive and kills more people than any other drug and is legal, so why don't legalize Pot? I couldn't argue with this information , I mean if you see it this way...why wouldn't?
Asked and answered several time over. Just look at the old questions...

Legalize medical marijuana?
What is your take on legalizing medical marijuana? Just some random medical benefits
Bronchial dialator (having an asthma attack? Small puff and it's gone)
Lowers the pressure in the eyes which benefits glaucoma victims.
THC helps prevent dead cells from becoming cancer cells.
It drastically reduces nausea in kemo patients and increases their appetite.
But no everyone feels so great about legaized medical marijuana, what's your take?
Answer:
Actually, I'm still not real sure why marijuana is illegal. I must also say I am not for the use of drugs (I don't even drink alcohol). However, I think the government should stay out of peoples lives. If they want to smoke pot, gamble, etc., I say it is their choice. We have laws in place for dui, so if someone is stupid enough to drive while high, let that law apply. If drugs were legal, violent crime related to drugs would decline since there would not be as large a black market. It would also eliminate many of the border issues we are having.
I often hear the cry for more personal responsibility. Let's get big government out of our personal lives and quit trying to legislate morality. Let the individual decide.
I prefer to think about it as not infringing the people's right to make their own decisions.
Marijuana affects the user and the user only, for good or for bad.
You should be allowed to make your own choices. Period.
From a logical point of view, a tobacco smoker, an alcohol drinker, a glue breather, a compulsive eater or a marijuana user should have the same legal status.
Plus, without the marijuana prohibition, farmers could be growing hemp and we all could get cleaner and cheaper paper, fiber, oils and, from them, fuel.

Legalize marijuana?
What is your opinion on the issue of legalizing weed?
Answer:
yes
It will never happen in your lifetime, so don't spend too much time waiting for such a miracle.
Sure it'd be great but what's the point? Other than taxing the sale of it and making quite a bit of money as they do with tobacco.
Legalize it, tax it, then run multi-million dollar media campaigns discouraging it's use, sounds like a plan to me.
I think it's fairly silly for Congress to make the drug illegal, even for medical use, claiming that their authority to do so arises from their ability to regulate interstate commerce, when the drug cannot legally be sold in interstate commerce.
Congress should stay out of the issue, and allow states to make the local determinations, just like any other minor criminal matter.
From there, I think that drug use (or any crime where the only person harmed is the person using the substance) is not the kind of thing that should be regulated by the govt.
We might as well. Alcohol is legal and it is more dangerous than marijuana. Also if we legalize we can keep track of all those who buy it and the government can tax it.
cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaa... booooooooooooooooooooiiiiiiiii...
I say that the U.S. should Decriminalize it everywhere or legalize it because that way, they will make a lot of murders and crimes cease due to drugs. You know what i mean!?!?!?!?
by the way , i asked this question but do you know if they drug test at macys? cause ... you know :p
I believe a plant that is not synthesized and is natural is OK. There are many herbs that have proven to be beneficial to mankind and I see no reason that marijuana should be any different.
No.
It destroys your body, and your brain.. and everyone around you.
Do you want your airline pilot or surgeon to be a pot head? Do you want to average person in society to be high?
Medical marijuana is already legal here in Cali but the feds keep messing with the dispensaries. It is so unfair. The people of this state voted and the federal government won't accept it.
When compared to other things such as alcohol and tobacco, marijuana is far less dangerous. The government just doesn't know how to regulate it so they choose to make it illegal.
Do it
The issue is an interesting one, and I could go on and on, about the pros's and con's of it, I suppose. But just for the fun of it...I think it would totally change the farming industry. Thanks for asking.
think of the problems you would solve. if you legalize and regulate it (in my opinion regulation is the key) you would have less drug dealers in jail for selling pot, think of the money spent on investigating dealers of marijuana. they would be able to focus more attention on more dangerous drugs like meth and ghb. the tax dollars alone would greatly improve our government (not fix, but at least improve). you could basically put the same restrictions on it that you have on alcohol, maybe a little stricter.

Legality of using an alias for non-business (and non-criminal :P) reasons?
I was curious regarding the legality of using an alias. I know for business purposes, one must register as a DBA. What about using an alias for personal reasons? Its not for criminal or otherwise malicious purposes, just to maintain an additional level of anonymity in certain situations. I'm not talking fake ID's or anything either. Just looking to use another name when I want to (with obvious limitations such as air travel).
If it helps any, this is mainly for New York.
Answer:
I agree with dwydale and will add that as long as you do not open banking or credit accounts or try to rent living space. In other words not try to side step any legal obligation with that alias you are free to give any name to anyone as long as they are not in law enforcement/medical services/ yada yada yada
If you say it is for non-malicious activity. Then I would say that assuming an alias is the same as having a nickname. When I meet people I say my name is D.J. I don't say my name is D**** J*****. I've always been called D.J.
check with the county clerk's office. that is where business DBAs are registered. they should be able to direct you to the correct information for personal alias use. otherwise, just pick a nickname like the guy above suggested.
As said before the best legal way is to use a nickname, it can be a variant of your real name (there are book with that). Or you can use a random or silly nickname. Even a first name withou surname can work. (Many people don't know my surname; they just call me for the first name wich is very common).
To use a full fake name might be risky since that might put a red flag on you in the law enforcement community.
It might also be very dangerous, if you say you are John and then someone tell that you are Nick, some people might think that you are an undercover cop and that might get you killed.
Also it might not be a good idea to use a fake name when meeting a girl. They hate that, and might think you have bad intentions.
So stick only to nicknames or first name without using surname and remeber never to put a fake name on writing (or fake Id) or you will get in legal troubles.

Legality of animated porn?
While recently researching software designed to create animation like “POSER” or “DAZ” I searched 3D models, what I found inter-mixed in the results were several porn sites dedicated to the creation of animated porn using the creation of life like renderings of people engaged in sexual activity’s. At first I was amazed at the artistry of the graphic artist and the capability of the state art software., but soon found some very disturbing images created obviously to appeal to the fantasies of pedophiles. Child like renderings engaged in sexual situations with adult renderings in a storybook fashion and occasionally mpeg type format. Anatomically the graphics were very realistic. While I realize that no living child is being exploited, I still wonder of the legality of portraying these types of situations in such a life like manner.
Answer:
Bill G is right; as disturbing as it might be, animated porn is pretty much a free-for-all; it doesn't feature real people, ergo things that are impossible in other porn (pedophilia, bestiality, rape, even human-alien or human-monster sex) can and do happen in animated porn, and none are illegal.
Hope that helps.
Its sick %26 illegal.
That's a tough question. You can also include the porn stars who look very young and advertise themselves as being "barely legal" etc. I don't have an answer, just wanted to comment that it's a slippery slope.. like should it be legal for young looking girls to do it?
No idea, but an excellent question.
I honestly don't know know . . . I'd search online for some organizations that focus on preventing pedophilia, and relay the site information to them -- they'll be able to more adequately handle the situation.
I feel it is sick and wrong. Even if it is an animation a child image shouldn't be used. I read some place that Jessica Rabbit was voted number one as the sexiest animated character. That says that animation is able to create sexual fantasies. Therefore, I think using children opens up another way for sick people to exploit them. It's wrong and it needs to stop. I would feel that a law is being broken although, that is just my moral opinion. I think I'd report it to an authority and find out. If a law is being broken I would feel really good for having found it and reporting it.
I remember seeing this on Television and know a lot of courts were battling this situation. I don't know the outcome, but I assume it is legal.
It's illegal for simulations of child porn to be created or owned...it has been determined the intent of child pornography was enough to make it illegal...the use of adults to simulate adolescents is still up to debate..they claim it involves the same intent on child pornography yet the claim is just role playing fun..such as dressing as a nurse or nun.
The definition of the role playing could be misused and loosely applied to prosecute.
It has also become, it seems, illegal to photograph your own children in harmful photos such as bathtub shots and the such.
The definitions need to be outlined more thoroughly otherwise most of the population is engaged in some sort of unlawful act.
Even fantasy writings about child sex has been deemed illegal but is still being debated since it is creative writing.
Additon: There are thousands of websites that re modeling sites of children..though non nude the U.S. has made it illegal to operate one in the U.S. they believe it is just one step below C/P. Though the girls who ages ranc]ge from 4yo to 16yo are dressed it is the clothing and the poses that are sexual in nature that has made them illegal.
For further info or to see the possible exploitation of girl and boys...all you need to do is google search for "preteen models"...most if not all are outside the U.S. and in countries where itr is legal. They also hide behind the loosely translated U.S. code regarding child models.
This is another reason why parents need to monitor their online activities.
The Supreme Court has held that child porn requires children. If the porn in question did not have a child involved at any point, you can draw all the pedolphilia child porn acts you want.
Yes, it's sick. Child porn laws protect the children who might be involved, not the general population of children.

Legalities of a mechcanics lean on a vehical?
heard you can install a "mechanic's lean" on a vehical for unpaid repairs, storage,etc. How does one go about this?
Answer:
A mechanic's lien on personal property like a vehicle is created when the mechanic does work on the property and is not paid. The lien is in effect as long as the mechanic has possession. After notice the mechanic is entitled to sell the property and keep the amount owed for the work performed. Mechanic's liens are more common on real property. In that case, the mechanic actually has to record the lien. It can happen when a prime contractor does not pay a subcontractor even though the owner paid the prime contractor.
Read the fine print on a work order,
Want your car back, pay the bill.
Good night!
Generally there is a form you file at the department of motor vehicles for the state (you can pick up the form there). This is generally done when the mechanic has the car and isn't receiving payment. This will allow them to actually take ownership of the vehicle once the time allotment on the lein is expired. (Check your local laws for time frames).
There are several ways to do so. The most common is to go after the person for payment in court, obtain a judgment, and seize the vehicle in place of the debt. Another is to contract it this way.

Legal work age?
I am a 14 year old (although I am often told I look 16) boy from southern California and I wanted to know if there is anyway at all for me to get a job legally around here. If so, can someone tell or direct me to a place where I can find information concerning working limits and other related information. Thanks!
Answer:
Go to your local unemployment office and ask to speak to a Youth Corps representative. They can get you into a program that will allow you to work legally even though you are still legally a minor. Keep in mind that there may be laws limiting the schedule and number of hours you can work.
I think your fine. but really they look for older kids at the 16-18 years of age. Maybe you can help around the house at one of your parents work, sounds kinda lame and dorky I admit.
Try working as a bagboy at the local food mart.
well u can work for ur parents legally but i dont really know about anything else

Legal Rights Regarding Lawn Mowing and Cars?
I park my new car in my company's parking lot. Every week, a lawn mowing company mows the lawn around the parking lot and gets grass all over my back bumper (I park head out far enough from the cement stop so that my back bumper is not over the grass).
I usually don't mind the mess although it is very difficult to remove - not to mention, technically ruins my paint.
I just washed my car yesterday. I had a very long day at work today and I find my car dirty with hard-to-remove-paint-damaging-...
Do I have any rights here in terms of maybe someone paying for my carwash? I think it's silly of me to escalate this but I am very careful to not get in the way of those mowing the lawn for them to just be inconsiderate and aim the cut grass at my car. Who would be responsible - my company or the lawn mowing company? and how would I go about getting a free car wash, if possible?
Thanks!
Answer:
Solution is simple...park somewhere else. If you park in an assigned spot where this is happening, see if you can be moved to another assigned spot or pay to park at a nearby privately owned garage.
probably not, both would tell you to park else wear. Its not right but I bet that's what would be said.
You cant get any $$ back for you spending $$ to get your car washed,Get a tarp and cover the back of your car down to the bumper.
Here's a crazy idea - ask them not to get grass on your car, or cover it up with something. I know, it's insane, but I can't help myself.
You are right; you are very silly to escalate this..
This is one of the most ridiculous things I have read on this forum in a long time...

Legal Rights - Slip and Fall?
Yesterday I was walking home along the side of a road at night (after fireworks). The road was along the grass and very rough on the side, and there was a depression or something and it caught my foot and I fell, breaking my foot and ankle. I am not very sue happy, but is there a chance I have a legal case?
Answer:
Was there a designated walking area? If not, legally speaking you may be outta luck.
First find out of the "side of the road" is public property or private property. In either case your insuance company may end up filing suit against the property owners insurance to recover their costs of healing you.
You can sue for pain and suffering, dont expect much though - less then $10,000 i would guess.
Not really. I can't see how anyone but you was negligent here.
It wasn't as if you had some reasonable expectation that the side of the road, with grass growing, in the dark, should be as safe as a well lit walkway in a mall. You chose to walk on rough ground in the dark, and got the kind of damage that you should have expected.
No, you assumed risk by choosing to walk along the side of the road in the dark.
You tripped. Life happens. No, nobody else is legally responsible for ensuring that the world is so smooth that you never trip.
if everyone was as sue-happy as you, the whole earth would be paved with perfectly smooth rubber-coated concrete impregnated with slipresistant particles of grit. Oh, and we'd all be forced to wear padded suits.
All of the world's money would be gone of course, but at least we'll all be safe, right?
Stop drinking booze, learn how to walk and stop trying to destroy our economy. %26gt;:/
Sounds like you were on a public way. I would argue that a reasonable prudent person, would not be walking in the dark on the shoulder of a road.
Because you'll be suing the town, city, or state, there's little chance of you prevailing.
But nowadays, anything goes.
yes possibly depends what u mean by depression.
Answer:
Was there a designated walking area? If not, legally speaking you may be outta luck.
First find out of the "side of the road" is public property or private property. In either case your insuance company may end up filing suit against the property owners insurance to recover their costs of healing you.
You can sue for pain and suffering, dont expect much though - less then $10,000 i would guess.
Not really. I can't see how anyone but you was negligent here.
It wasn't as if you had some reasonable expectation that the side of the road, with grass growing, in the dark, should be as safe as a well lit walkway in a mall. You chose to walk on rough ground in the dark, and got the kind of damage that you should have expected.
No, you assumed risk by choosing to walk along the side of the road in the dark.
You tripped. Life happens. No, nobody else is legally responsible for ensuring that the world is so smooth that you never trip.
if everyone was as sue-happy as you, the whole earth would be paved with perfectly smooth rubber-coated concrete impregnated with slipresistant particles of grit. Oh, and we'd all be forced to wear padded suits.
All of the world's money would be gone of course, but at least we'll all be safe, right?

Legal Requirement For Lost Property In self-catering properties??
Is there any legal requirement around for lost property to be kept while staying in self-catering holiday properties for a week in the UK?
As there is for a lot of public transports I know, but if anyone could answer the above I would be most thankful.
Answer:
There is no general duty of care for lost property to be kept while staying in self catering holiday properties.
But it is against the criminal law to dishonestly appropriate any property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it (i.e. theft).
That's the general standing of the law. So if property has not been kept by a company, then you either have to prove they have stolen the property (this is very hard to do unless you have conclusive evidence). Or else, the property is lost.
3 months unless it is toileteries or underwear then they can be disposed of as soon as you leave
the law is 3 months but that could depends on the place you stayed . if it was a back street place then 2 minutes have a word with the police they will tell you . good luck

Legal questions?
am conserned with this and am looking for advice.About a month ago I caught my wife of 7 years cheating on me with numours men.I have the proof through pics, cell phone movies and email stuff.when I found out her little sister was at our house so I did not make a scene.One night she went to the other room to talk to a friend on the other phone because i had the sterio on,i went outside to feed the dog and heard through our bedroom window her talking to one of her lovers.I went into the room and was yelling and went for the phone.it started to become a grapple for the phone.then I backed off when it was getting too much.I never hit her or struck her.but she left and called the cops saing that I did.I never did .The cops never took pics or sent her to the hositptal.a cop came to my house and said he did no see marks or anything.But I got a summon in the mail sayin i got to go to court. my now soon to be ex says she went back and droped charges. is there any case? HELP!!
Answer:
If it is a criminal matter this can drag out. You wife can say she wants to drop the charges and the States attorney can pick it up.
I do not understand the summons. That sounds like it is civil. If it is criminal then you are looking at a warrant and an arrest!
I believe you mean that she is issuing a restraining order or an order of protection against you! If this is the case let me tell you! KISS HER ***! If not then a 72 emergency order then can be extended to up to 2 years.
No PROB? Well every time you have contact with the police, then the order of protection will pop up when they run your name! THE POLICE DO NOT KNOW YOUR STORY and will not care to hear it!
In conclusion, this is the plan. BE NICE TO THE WIFE (I know it sucks!!,) If she does not show then this will be dropped. If she does show then they will try to talk her out of it, but it still will be dropped. Then wait a few and then go through with the divorce or reconcile!
Hey, innocent until proven guilty! Just because she says you hit her does not mean that the courts will believe her. If she has no evidence then it is her word against yours... ok so you might have the motivation if she was cheating on you. How long after did she call the cops? If it was within the day, or even a few days, then no marks suggests you didnt hit her!
i don't think there is a case. however go to court. talk to the judge and see if you are in any trouble. you can call before the court date.

Legal questions about pyrotechnics?
I have recently become interested in pyrotechnics and I am interested in exploring it (starting with pipe bombs moving up to home made fireworks). However I have been unable to find some information about legal issues (I want to do this legally).
First of all, is there some sort of safety class I can take?
Second, anybody know if flash powder and black powder is legal (to make and buy)?
Third, is there a forum for beguiners like me with perhaps safty guidelines and tips?
(And for all you people who think that as soon as someone asks for help in pyrotechnics that they must be a terrorist, chill out and get some pycological help.)
Answer:

Laws vary by jurisidictions, but in gerneral BLOW UP THINGS IS ILLEGAL! It is dangerous. And many states got more strict about it after the fire that killed 100 people in Rhode Island in Feb 2002.

Legal Question?
Is it legal to sell your ex-tenants items to salvage the unpaid rent ?.
Overnight one of our tenants eloped, leaving couple of items behind. He already owes us around $737 in unpaid rent, so we were wondering if we could sell his stuffs.
Answer:
legally, no. in the eyes of the law, you can only get money owed to you if you have a signed agreement of some sort, and properly evicted him. (serve notice at your residence) then take him to small claims court. It's a lengthy process, but in the end, you'll suceed in a judgment against him on his credit, and an eviction on his rental history. He'll be screwed out of getting a place to live for a looong time.
Either that, or make every legal attempt to notify him to remove his stuff, with enough time allowed to reclaim it. Then "haul it off to the dump" (sell it FAST!!)
Most states require a certain time to elapse (6 months to a year being common) before items are declared abandoned.
Most states also allow the landlord to hold the property (safely) until the back rent is paid, or until the time duration elapses.
Laws vary by state. Check your local listings.
no. The law of each state is different, but each will require you to safeguard the property for a while. After enough time and enough notice you might be able to sell it. Check your local laws
If you are sure the person is not coming back here is what you have to do...
You must place the persons personal items in storage for 21 days from the date of the self eviction. Once that time is up you can sell this stuff to recoup your money. If they left it behind you can be sure they don't want it back though.
Not in California, all you can do is to file a small claims
suit against them and you have to give them a reasonable
amount of time to pick up their stuff. I used to own a TV
repair shop, we had to send a registered letter and give
them a 30 day notice to pick up their sets and and you
have to take reasonable care in protecting their property.
If they come back and find that their property has been
damaged, they can sue you.
Would be best to consult an attorney on this.

Legal question?
if my friend got drunk in someone elses house when he was a minor does that make the owners ( our mutual friends parents) responsible for it?
Answer:
to answer from a strictly legal point of view - yes there is a responsibility issue to be raised. from a practical point, i would refuse to litigate such an issue for the simple reason that you have to find an argument to convince a jury that an injury occured while in the care of said owners.
if this is an isolated incident go on - if this happens on a regular basis contact child protective services.
I'm pretty sure it does make them responsible for it since he was in there house. But then again, that may only be if theywere the actual ones who gave the alcohol to him. Hope this helps : ) !
Yes. If they knowingly supplied the alcohol or knew the minor was consuming alcohol on the premises. There might be some leniency in the eyes of the court if they could prove the minor sneaked alcohol or took it without their knowledge. Even then, it could be argued that by having alcohol in the house where minors have access to it, the parents were being negligent.
Yes, especially if the adults were home at the time. They can be charged with "contributing to a minor" or something like that.

Legal question?
once paperwork has been done for an expungement, can a business or company still hold the charges against you that saw the charges as being dismissed before the expungement
was completed?
Answer:
If a charge is expunged then a business has no right to hold it against you; in fact, if they were holding a not-guilty verdict against you then there is a chance you could sue.
Sure, why not? Expungement is common even when someone was dead guilty of the crime. But they completed their sentence, completed probation, and showed the court that they were rehabilitated. This happens frequently with young offenders.
But just because you were forgiven by the justice system doesn't mean everyone has to forgive and forget. You are free to explain the circumstances to them if you want and hope to get the job or whatever it is you are looking for. But it is not illegal in the US to discriminate on the basis of past criminal behavior, even it was expunged.
expungement might prevent someone from learning about your conduct, but the court cannot regulate how someone responds to the knowledge that they gain. In fact, if you had been found not guilty, an employer can make their own determination about your character based on whatever information they have available.
All the time.
Legally once an event is expunged then it is supposed to be gone, but once the deed is known and if it is bad enough then it will never be forgotten and it will always be held against you.
When a child becomes an adult then their juvenile record will be sealed. But, the fact that they have one is still known by the police, and that simple fact becomes one that helps prove that a person could be guilty.
You see it on TV law shows often. The lawyers fight in chambers to get evidence disallowed. They don't wan the jury to see it because if the jury does then it will prejudice their opinions against the case. Once the evidence is admitted and once the jury sees it then that is that. The judge can order the jury to ignore it, but a reasonable person would have a hard time doing that.
Once the bad deed is done and is known then it will always be held against you by those that know of it. Even it is expunged from the record it will still be a factor. And remember that with records impingement doesn't always mean TOTAL erasure. There will probably always be a record of the event somewhere and when that record exits it can be accessed and when that happens it can be held against you. Even if accessing it is illegal, even if it should be ignored, once a reasonable person finds out about the deed they can't ignore it.

Legal question?
Someone I know has been pulled over 3 times for driving on a suspended license. He just pleaded not guilty and they said he may face 60 to 90 days in jail. How likely is it that he can escape jail time? Anyone know. We live in Florida.
Answer:
Here in New Hampshire, he would receive 2-5 years. That would mean he would get 2 years in PRISON and 3 more years on Parole. If he receives a Parole Violation, he would receive what ever is left of his Parole in Prison.
However, it sounds like if he is going to be facing 60-90 days in Jail...he may receive Probation after his term is up. If he receives a Probation Violation, he receives a new sentence.
No one here could possibly give you an accurate answer here. Only the Judge and prosecutor can sentence the person. A lawyer can tell a person what to expect for a Minimum and Maximum sentence that has been set up by the legislation per crime. (It is different for each state)
If he's been pulled over THREE times for a suspended license he needs to be in jail...PERIOD! People like him do not belong on the road. End of story.

Legal question. Why do we need a "Notice of Motion" to move the court?
Where did the Notice of Motion come from? What is the history behind such a form?
Answer:
The Notice of Motion is required to give all parties to the case, and the Court, fair notice (or warning) that a party is requesting that the Court do something. Its purpose is also to start the clock running on the time limit for the other party or parties to respond if they want to oppose the motion.
The history is somewhat different in each jurisdiction, and is enshrined in the Court rules (or Rules of Civil Procedure) that are used by that Court.
Any request to the court is a motion.
You are moving (asking) the court to do something. That terminology derived (like much of American law) from old English legal practices centuries ago.
As part of any motion, you need to notify the court and the other party that you are filing a motion. That's the Notice of Motion. It basically repeats the header for what you are asking, and informs the other party when the motion hearing is going to be held.
It's one of several dozen different procedural aspects involved in the litigation process. Failing to follow the proper procedures can get the motion thrown out entirely.

Legal question i NEED help!?
my friend was gone and me and a mutual friend entered his house through the garage because he has told us the code. We needed to use his wireless internet and mine was down at my house. His father has since gone to the police and i want to know what might happen. I'm a kid so I'm really freaking and could use some good answers or help.
Answer:
Many things can and may or not happen. First you can be charged with unlawful entrance, trustpassing, stealing services and a few other charges. Hopefully the police will have a strong talk with you. Except that you were wrong don't blame the son or daughter. Extend an written appology to the father by mail this may help coold the issue. Tell the father you understand why he was so upset now. Offer to do something to gain his trust again like yard work or something show him you desire to please him. The friend probably can not speak up against his father and even if he did Dad is the ruler of the household.
Should you end up in court tell the judge the same thing that you are sorry and did not mean any harm.
It would be nice if the friend has ever told you that you could just use the code and help yourself to the cumputer to the judge. What ever you do don't put lies or pressure on your friend the judge will see right through this and no matter if that is the truth is going to side with the dad. Keep your friendship with your friend strong as possible somethimes this will help your friend to talk to Dad and drop everything.
I hope you have told your parents so they know what happened if not good to do it before the police tell them. You don't want them to get a summons for their and your appearance in court. They may need a lawyer so prepare them .
B%26E, if you did not have permission.
Well thats breaking and entering ur parents will have to appear in court for you since u r a kid and will probably have to pay a big fine
You need to go to the police to make statement. Take a parent with you. It would be constructive if mutual friend-2 also with parent went to police about the same time.
Talk with parent before going to police.
Ask parent to ask on your behalf, what is wrong with friend-1 giving permission to enter the house then father of friend-1 revoking this and going to the police about it ... if anyone should be in trouble it should be friend-1 for causing this problem that the father is now exploiting . both friend-1 and the father should be facing charges for making a false police report.
The police might not buy that, which is why parent should make the arguement, not you.
Friend-1 gave you the code to enter the house, gave you permission to enter the house. You were not aware that friend-1 did not have permission from Friend-1 father to give such permission to you. You suggest that perhaps the Father should get the code changed and instruct Friend-1 not to give the code out any more.
Actually ignorance is not an excuse in the law, but sometimes juveniles are given more leeway ... there may be some things you are not expected to know, like this family with friend-1 and father of friend-1 have some kind of problem, maybe a mental problem.
If you have any witnesses to the fact that friend-1 gave you the code to the house, and the conditions under which it was given, ask them to make a statement to the police also, and also you give their names to the police as witnesses, that you were setup, framed, ambushed by the father.
Once you have the police knowing that friend-1 did in fact give you this code permission, then ask your parent to give friend-1 father a good talking to for getting you and mutual friend-2 in trouble for something that friend-1 gave permission for.
In theory, you are guilty of breaking and entering, like burglary, but friend-1 was an accessory before the fact ... if the police arrest you, at every opportunity give the name of friend-1 as having given you access to the hose ... I think this will rapidly lead to friend-1 father backing down and trying to get any charges dropped.
For the future ... you have permission to go to some home that the adults who run the home give you permission to go to ... you as a minor cannot give permission to people to go into your home unless your parents have given that permission, likewise your friends cannot do so either.
There also can be limited permission ... where you can go there, but there are limitations on what you can do there.
If you entered with permission -- especially if that permission was as formal as being given an access code -- then you probably are not subject to any criminal penalties.
So, what you need to worry about most is your parents.

Legal question about an SPCA not taking action?
Hey, i have a question for all you law savvy people. I know of an SPCA that when you report animal abuse cases, they take no action and do not seem to care at all (i hva experience with this)..now since these abuse cases are against the law...could you go through the police? And is the fact that they arent taking action at this particular SPCA something that can be reported? Thank you for your time.
Answer:
First of all, it is the ASPCA, not spca. Second, no they do not have to do anything at all. The ASPCA is a volunteer group. Yes, you can go through the police, but most police agencies won't do anything either. They have very little time and money, and can't even afford to go after child molesters and drug dealers.
Are you sure you are reporting this to the correct agency? I believe it is animal control which investigates animal abuse...not the SPCA.

Legal or Not ?
In u.k. is it legal to advertise an event as "Free" and then apply a caveat in order to gain admission. e.g. The disco is advertised as free but on arrival you find there is a buffet laid on and it is compulsory to pay 拢5 contribution towards the food or you can't get in.
Answer:
Illegal.
Advertise the buffet as an optional extra and issue tickets to identify the paid eaters.
Yes that is illegal as its false advertising!
if you pay a fiver to get in then the event is not free.and is very much deceiving in it's advertisement.
sounds legal to me as long as the 5 is for the food and not the disco
That depends: If the event is advertised as a Buffet evening for which 拢5 is payable, the poster or advertising can then say that there is a 'free disco' in that no further charge is made for the disco. If however, the event is described as a Free Disco, then it would be illegal to say that there is a buffet for which 拢5 is payable. It basically comes down to what is being advertised as 'the main event' and what is being advertised as a 'secondary attraction' it is not permissible to adevrtise the main event as free and impose a payable condition on a secondary attraction without allowing people in to the main attraction for free.
Yep, it's legal. Not only in the U.K., but also in the USA. If you're going into law, learn to read the fine print.
If it is compulsary then that is illegal advertisement. If it isn't compulsary but they just try to make you think it is then it isn't illegal, but I wouldn't go to an event organised by the same people again
No, this is against the advertising standards code. The event is not free if it is not possible to attend the event without paying, even if the payment is ostensibly for something else, such as the food. They could advertise "Buffet with free disco", but simply advertising the disco as free and then only mentioning later that purchase of the buffet is compulsory is not the right way to do things.
No, it is a misleading advertisement unless, after stating that it is free, there is a mention of a 拢5 contribution towards the buffet. Other questions might be asked. Were these people serving alcohol? Did they have a licence?
This is misleading, they can suggest a voluntary donation of 拢5 but can not refuse admission on the grounds that you have not paid. They can make a separate charge for the buffet providing it is not a condition of entry to the free event
If anyone was to DO that, they'd be in contravention, of the ADVERTISING laws, - AND the "TRADE DESCRIPTIONS" legislation
Free is free if you pay it is not free
