    Disorderly Conduct - plead not guilty

    This, ladies and gents, is why our society is so litigious. One, you have an accuser who may be blowing something out of proportion, and basically placed you under a citizen's arrest until the police arrived. Two, you have the accused thinking he should press charges for kidnapping and...

    100+ mph in 65, California CHP, Juvenile

    Your best bet would be to go to court and fight the ticket, present your case to the prosecutor/judge and see what they say. The last time I had a ticket, I explained my case to the officer and he said that I should show up in court and I would not get points, only the fine. He might have...

    What laws govern a forum?

    And, of course, there is the matter of if you are using a private system, the host of that system reserves the right to deny you access for any reason, delete your posts, etc, etc. With or without justification. I see this a lot on IRC networks. If you connect to their system, you play by their...

    Speeding Ticket given to me but I am from Scotland

    Call the District Attorney for that area, or at least the police department that issued the ticket. Usually you can waive your right to appear in court (and admit to being guilty) by simply mailing in the fine listed on the ticket even if you said you would appear, especially in your...

    Ebay Slander?

    Yeah... this guy is fooling himself if he thinks he's in the right. Selling an item that is not only in arrears but is also without its title document is a major no-no. Of course, he thinks there's nothing wrong with that, just as he thinks there was nothing wrong with not telling me the item...

    Hello, I recently concluded dealing with a seller via eBay. The seller sold me a collector's item that did not have its title document (something it should have had). It turns out that the item in question is still in arrears and money is owed to the original maker... that is why the...

    Can airlines reject late boarding passengers?

    I just saw this happen on that airport reality show, I think it was on TLC... In most cases, the airline has every right to refuse your boarding if you arrive late. It is at their discression to give you a shot at the next flight, or they may make you buy a new ticket.

    Exhibition of speed and reckless driving

    You could do a few things... How much is the fine? How many points will go against your license for this? Getting a lawyer will probably cost you more than it is worth. From my experience in traffic court, most people represent themselves and, upon arguing the ticket, a reduced fine may be...

    Sold Without Title Document

    Here's an interesting situation I fell into... I purchased a collectible item via eBay from a seller in Canada (I am in the USA). The item in question is numbered and is supposed to come with a matching numbered and signed Certificate of Authenticity to authenticate its value. I inquired with...

    Please help, outrageous alimony

    How was the alimony amount figured? Did a judge pick a random number? I thought the process had something to do with your net income minus your monthly bills, and then -that- amount is halved. One half you keep, the other goes to your spouse. Since your bills eat up all your money, I imagine...

    Alimony

    Hello. Perhaps you guys can help me sort through this situation. A friend of mine recently divorced after 16 years of marriage. The reason behind it was that her husband fooled around with another woman a few years back and their marriage has been hell ever since. Finally they got their...
