Then I would hope that you are not operating a motor vehicle off of private property. If you are, then you are commiting a crime. But, YOU are not obeying the law (if driving without a license or registration), so how can you claim to be "law-abiding?" And having a legal system rooted...

Miranda won't apply to the loss prevention folks. His statements to them should be admissible. I agree that if the OP was handcuffed when the police arrived, and given the length of the detention to that point, Miranda should apply for the police. Loss prevention people go hands on all the...

The problem is that we live in the United States and are all expected to abide by the laws of the land regardless of how each of us might self-identify or prefer to see the situation. I can stare at the night sky and deny that I see stars all I want. The fact is that they are still there even...

That may be so. Yet, the law is on the officer's side. Regardless of the wishes of the "sovereign" the officer and other employees of the Executive are empowered under the law (be it federal, state, or local) to enforce certain laws. You can say you don't want to play all day, still, at the...

It could be that some have a different definition of what might necessitate or constitute "self defense" than I, or the law, might allow. There's a reason why - as a group - they are on the radar screen for law enforcement, and why they are considered a credible threat - and it's not because...

I do not know that a report in NV has to be signed in such a way. I believe they do in TX, but no such signature is required in my state of CA. We DO have to sign the complaint request that is sent to the court from the DA, but that's not the same as the report. We do not release police...

Interesting that YOU have the police report ... I'm surprised it's being released at all. Given what the police are alleging, they sure as heck SOUND dangerous. And this interesting factoid comes from where? That other 1% sure makes up for the others. The ones I have encountered tend to be...

You are assuming that this was entrapment. From what I have read, independent action was taken by the suspects to actively plan for the kidnapping, torture and execution of the officers. But, their attorneys are free to try and raise the issue of entrapment should they choose. That may be...

So, you're acquainted with these people: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/08/23/authorities-in-las-vegas-arrest-2-in-sovereign-citizen-plot-to-kidnap-torture/ http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/aug/22/metro-infiltrates-sovereign-citizen/...

It's a sad fact of life out here ... and for some who live in the path of these fires. I know several people who have nearly lost homes in the past, and couple who HAVE lost their homes. Fortunately, no one I know has actually lost their life in a fire ... so far.

We get fires every year, so we get used to the smoke and the fire. The fire crews passing through are good for business (hotels, restaurants, fuel, supplies/food), but some years are worse than others. The smoke from that one and a couple of others closer to home are causing a lot of sore eyes...

You mean it's not because of the smoke from Yosemite?

First off, if he wants even to get visitation, he will have to establish paternity through the courts. So, that will take him some time and money. Second, is there an objective reason why the court would remove the baby from your care and custody and give the baby to the dad? Absent your...

How many prior DUI convictions does he have in the past ten years? In addition to the current penalties, he can find that his probation will be revoked and he will face the full penalties for whatever offense he was on probation for. He needs some serious help!

Have you received any of the paperwork from the impounding agency? What code section(s) do they cite as the reason for the tow? Was you fiance cited for driving on a suspended license? More than likely it was towed because it was obstructing some part of the roadway and since the driver was...

It is highly unlikely that this will become a criminal matter at this point. The state has one year to file misdemeanor charges against you should they choose to do so. Under the circumstances as you have outlined them, I doubt the store will report this to the police. Go forth and sin no more.

That depends on the details. Did he witness this act ON duty or in the course of his responsibility as a peace officer? Or, was it off duty? And, under what circumstances and details? Again, it depends on the details. To access official record systems not available to the general public for...

Vacations? Well, to tell you how few I have taken, I could take off of work for more than 6 months and not lose a dime. This year, I will be taking off for four weeks ... driving from CA to PA to attend and shoot Yankees at the 150th Anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg July 4th...

Since local government is generally not in the business of developing, producing, installing, and maintaining high technology hardware and systems, they have always had to collaborate with private enterprise. If you are referring to the rules that allowed contract fees to be based on a...

And nowhere do these notices say that anyone is legally required to "rat" out who was driving. I am hoping that the state one day changes the law to make the registered owner responsible if no driver is identified ... but, that's just the law-and-order guy in me.
