    Darwin Award Candidate

    They are cute. But as everyone knows, when cats get together in groups like that they are discussing their secret plans to take over the world. Or what's going to be dinner tonight. It can go either way.

    Darwin Award Candidate

    The part of the video with the dancing white cat was pretty funny. The main video of the woman feeding a clowder of cats (of cats, only lion groups are called prides) as though she was feeding chickens was a bit disturbing. Everyone around me is telling me I need to get a cat for company. But...

    Warrants?

    Courts will typically seal search warrants in situations in which the investigation is still active so as not to interfere with the investigation. Obviously, they wouldn't want the suspects to know of the warrant as that may cut off the tapped lines as a source of information for the cops and...

    Does the First Amendment apply to social media moderation? The Supreme Court soon decides.

    If the Supreme Court follows its long standing precedent on the First Amendment Texas and other states with similar laws will be out of luck. It is not the legislature's place to decide what content is hosted on a privately owned forum.

    Here is my demand letter to Amazon, but also I want to sue for their policy.

    Any time you are buying from an unknown third party seller on Amazon you take the risk that the goods may be counterfeit, not as describle, nonfunctional, etc. Amazon does not screen each seller on its market place for their business practices. If the seller gets a lot of complaints, it'll boot...

    Being sued in oregon

    If you are representing yourself, take a morning or afternoon some day before your hearing to sit in the courtroom to see how the cases are handled and familiarize yourself with the courtroom. That should help you get a feel for what to do and relieve some anxiety about what the experience will...

    Warrants?

    A judge would be a fool to issue warrants that don't meet the legal requirements for it, and and experienced cop should know better to submit a false request for one because those are all records of the court and the warrant would likely also be a record of the ISP and cell provider too. After...

    Here is my demand letter to Amazon, but also I want to sue for their policy.

    That's one of the reasons why which state's law applies matters. Decisions by a CA court aren't binding on other state courts unless that state court is ruling on a matter of CA law.

    Divorce and keeping home

    She likely can assume title and keep the current loan. Divorce is one of the situations covered in the federal Garmin-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 (12 U.S. Code § 1701j–3). This law prohibits the lender from enforcing a due on sale/transfer law in several common situations...

    Naturalization, Citizenship Tax Question for Naturalization. N400

    If you had no taxable gross income then you have no federal income tax filing requirement. Since you have a green card, you are treated as resident in the U.S. for federal income tax purposes, which means that the rule that applies is that you are generally not required to file a federal income...

    Is eBay eller committing price gouging?

    Yep, one way or the other you are going to pay for the shipping. I've bought a number of items from both Amazon and eBay over the years, but avoid the third party sellers on Amazon and the foreign sellers on eBay. I've only had one problem on Amazon in over two decades, and one call to Amazon...

    Starting a Business Can I set up my own gambling business?

    Although gambling is legal in much of the state, it is a very regulated business. I'd suggest you consult an attorney familiar with the state gaming law to lay out exactly what you intend to and what state and local laws would require for you to do it.

    Survey Says, Texas DPS State Trooper Uniform Voted 'Sexiest' in the U.S.A.

    It would have to be the hats that make the biggest difference. Apart from that, IMO their uniforms are not all that different from what I see many sheriffs' deputies wear. I suspect that may have been intended, to leverage off the image and reputation of Texas sheriffs. The Colorado State...

    Here is my demand letter to Amazon, but also I want to sue for their policy.

    While I wouldn't go so far as Jack and say never to buy outside your local area, it is something that does need to be considered, especially with high cost items. One of the things Amazon buyers need to understand is that not everything Amazon lists on the site is sold by Amazon or is shipped...

    Here is my demand letter to Amazon, but also I want to sue for their policy.

    First, before you sue based on a contract, you need to read all the terms of the contract. That's what the court will look at to determine what the rights and responsibilites are of each party to the contract. If you read Amazon's Conditions of Use you'll see the paragraph on disputes that reads...

    Criminal Records, Expungement Is it legal to pull criminal records search for our coop?

    Your problem is that legislation adopted in NY state last year makes it illegal to discriminate against a tenant or applicant solely based on their criminal records. NYC this year makes it illegal to even get the criminal records until after all the other steps that the proposed renter needs to...

    Is eBay eller committing price gouging?

    Is what they told you really a surprise? Merchants selling in competition with eBay aren't going to say eBay sellers give people great deals or they'll turn away potential customers. I'd not expect them to give an unbiased opinion of a major competitor. Each eBay seller sets his/her own prices...

    What does legal separation actually accomplish?

    Legal separation is usually done as a step in the divorce process, though it doesn't have to be. The benefit of it is that there would be a court order specifying certain aspects of separation, like who gets which of the joint assets, ordering the spouses not to dispose of assets, etc. The...

    Grandparent joint custody of child

    That would be the case under intestacy (dying without a will, trust or other estate planning mechanism to transfer his property) if he was not married at the time he died and his daughter is his only surviving child. He may also do that in his will or by using a trust, again assuming he's not...

    Grace period for time expiration for parking meters

    I don't think I'd fancy what the upgrade process would be for that chip and what that would cost. :p
