Legal advice? How about some military advice. BAH is Basic Allowance for Housing, an allowance the military gives soldiers, sailors, and airmen who are authorized to maintain quarters off of a military post. Junior soldiers normally only get it if they are married since they are then required...

The Army does not care what a court of law may or may not do in your case. If you have even a single felony conviction, the Army will have to waive its normal standards to enlist you. Your chances of getting a waiver depend mainly on whether you have some special skill the Army needs and if...

Practical advice. The internet is in no way, shape, or form a secure means of communication. If you post something on a web site or send it in an email, it is out there where anyone with the time, inclination and expertise can access it. This should now be evident to you because your employer...

Not even close to legal advice, but practical advice instead: This employee has a problem with following company policy on smoking and is trying to intimidate you over enforcing that policy. You need to have a "heart-to-heart" with this man, in writing and preferably with a witness. You...

You did not mention the state in which the accident occurred. In Texas vehicles in the street have the right of way over vehicles seeking to enter from private property regardless of the number of lanes. His turn signal makes no difference either.

I am not familiar with the New Jersey traffic code but every traffic offense in it probably has similar wording. Traffic offenses in any state typically result in "a fine, imprisonment, or both." Most of these offenses result in fines. If you can't pay the fine, the court will settle for...

It would help to know the city and state in answering this question in legal terms. Practically, I think it would be a bad idea. If you use a shotgun, you would likely kill or severely injure both dogs. A bullet from a pistol or rifle is not going to stop at your property line if you miss...

"Art. 12.02. [181] [229] [219] MISDEMEANORS. An indictment or information for any misdemeanor may be presented within two years from the date of the commission of the offense, and not afterward." When a peace officer in the state of Texas writes out a ticket and gets the operator to sign it...

If you were following a bus into an intersection and the bus blocked your view of the traffic light, you were too close to the bus. The main point here is that you entered the intersection without being able to see the traffic light. You guess that it must have been green or yellow, but you...

Don't know Canadian traffic laws but in Texas one must stop before entering a public street from a private drive. The post for the stop sign is visible from the street. As you say, though, it would be difficult to see your vehicle from the street if you stopped at the stop sign. By the...

I do not believe you are in the clear. I do not know California law, but in Texas it is illegal to change lanes in an intersection. I'd bet California law is at least as stringent. In your post, you state that "As I enter the intersection the right front tire of my truck is in the right...

I am no lawyer but I believe I have seen Toyota adds on television where current Toyota owners are offered an additional rebate on new Toyota vehicles. That clearly is offering a discount to one group of people over other groups. Whether one may compare Toyota owners, as a group, to same-sex...

In what state did you attempt to buy the shotgun? Federal law requires a firearms dealer to verify the identity of a purchaser. Your state may mandate a driver's license as proof of identity. It also apparently suspends the driver's licenses of those who owe back child support. Therefore, if...

I am not a lawyer but will attempt to answer your question from a practical standpoint. The primary purpose of the question on the application is, of course, to see if you have commited a crime or crimes in the past. A borough noise violation seems to be a relatively minor offence, akin to a...

Thanks for the advice. Of course, what the probation department says is what she'll have to live by. I just don't get a warm, fuzzy feeling about government bureaucracy. I retired from the Army so I know how something can turn into a crap shoot in a hurry.
