    Assault & Battery disturbing the peace

    I'm curious to know what happened but I would be surprised if anything becomes of this. You could always file a claim with the police for assault it seems. Filing doesn't mean that you will be convicted and there has to be sufficient evidence. I'm not sure why you can't file and it would be nice...

    does the officer have to sign and put his badge number on the ticket?

    I'm not sure that this is a fatal error if your copy does not have the signature of the officer. It can be an issue if there is no copy and the court has no idea who issued the summons as there will be no officer to testify on behalf of the state! Let us know what happens. Good luck. :D

    What is Prop. 115

    Proposition 115, was also called the Crime Victims' Justice Reform Act and passed in 1990. It is a benefit to crime victims since it reduces the amount of times the victims must testify and it expedites trials and increases sentences/punishment. Regarding discovery, it requires reciprocal discovery.

    Security Clearances

    That's a good question. I'm sure it's pretty serious. They don't mess around and there are all sorts of requirements just to do business with them. Why not call them up and find out (and then post some answers here!!!!! :D )

    polygraph????

    Some people feel that only G-d can truly punish a person too. That doesn't mean that one should be immune from the laws and consequences enacted in this country. I also fail to see the connection between religion and a polygraph test. If you doubt the accuracy of such, then you can always bring...

    Harassment

    You could report this to your supervisor. They would probably not want a person like this in their employ if they are disturbing the ability of employees to work. Regarding legal action... sticks and stones and name calling...

    Non Compete Agreement

    FWIW and IMHO, your employer has given you a non-compete agreement that is relatively unenforceable. Unless they can indicate why you have seen and have been privy to highly sensitive documents and know private information that would be significantly damaging to the company, you could feel free...

    Job offers

    Does it matter? You could say whatever you want, especially if you had the promotion before you left the company. If they check, you can always clarify later if the company reports you weren't a VP. No issue of law here.

    Police Officer

    My understanding is that your case is then dismissed. You should check what the requirements for the police department are. My understanding is that if you have a felony conviction you'd be precluded from a career in the police department but not for an arrest without any conviction and that was...

    Sports Law

    THe question you ask is not easily answered. It's also not like going to a school will allow you to become an entertainment lawyer easier than another. It's a very highly competitive area and the chances are slim to none to make it. Usually it's far more about who you know than what school you...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication public intoxication

    We don't know what state you are in and also what the charge actually is. The statute itself will set the exact requirements for committing the crime. The officer is likely to be able to use his sense of sight and smell to determine if someone is intoxicated. If you refused to allow the officer...

    Do the governments(executive body) control the legislative process?

    It seems common sense to have a bill of rights if you think about it. First you have to understand what a bill of rights is -- it is the right to have certain freedoms. Shouldn't a country's constitution give all of us the right to be treated equally regardless of race, religion or gender? That...

    Statue of limitaions re:court costs

    There may be. There is generally a 10 or 20 year statute of limitations on collection although many jurisdictons allow an extension if filed, if memory serves correct. I don't know what state you are in. In New York it's 20 years.

    Help with Paternity Papres

    Since when does a parent have to sign over the rights to one's own child? Sounds like scare tactics to me. It sounds like there is a lot going on here we don't know, is there? I wish your husband good luck as child custody is never an easy issue.

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Mic

    You will definitely want to look up the law that you were charged with. I'm assuming MIC stands for Minor in Consumption. If I didn't drink I would first state that I didn't get an MIP because I wasn't in possession of alcohol, which is because I wasn't drinking. Second, I wasn't given any...

    Stolen property

    The store has no claim to the guitar. They purchased stolen goods from an individual who could not convey title to the property. Provided you can prove the guitar is yours, e.g. serial number, the store is out of luck and they don't have a choice. Unfortunately there is always a loser in this...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication MIP, Underage consumption, and Keg law violation

    This is not good and you would do best to hire an attorney. I don't know what might be arranged since you received three violations. You are fortunate not to have been given additional summonses for providing alcohol to minors. The attorney will create a strategy for you based upon your case and...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Minor in Consumption- TX

    I think you've got a handle on your defense. I'm curious to hear how everything turns out. The officers were a bit lazy here and just gave out summonses to everyone in the room. You may want to ask the officer if he has any notes with regard to any of the activities that he performed with...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication unsigned ticket

    My understanding is that she doesn't have to sign a summons. Typically the signature is an oath to appear in court with regard to the summons.
