    Search and Seizure with no warrant or probable cause

    What is this dormitory? Is this a college? A private shelter? A government program? What? What this organization is, and why you are there - and under what arrangements - will make a difference as to how likely this is to be lawful. In general, a search by a private person is not subject...

    A cop is following me home

    If you are not doing anything illegal, then this guy will eventually get bored. If he continues to leave his jurisdiction on duty to park outside your house, you might consider contacting his employing agency to let them know.

    Eh ... 95, 100, 105 ... I got used to it about 3 years after moving here from San Diego.

    Weapons, Guns, Firearms Possession of firearm while convicted felon

    If he is on parole and lives with you, then you opened your home up to search at any time. That's one of the pitfalls of living with a parolee.

    Americans with Disabilities Act and Education

    Have you thought about how you are going to act when it comes time to defend your dissertation? Depending on the process at your university, this can be a very public and very challenging process where you will not be permitted to sit back or collapse within yourself. Yes, I imagine there can...

    Mental Health Thread #7 -- Summer's Coming!

    In my part of the state, summer days can regularly reach constant temperatures of 105+. When I see CalTrans or county word personnel working on asphalt, I can only grimace at the thought that they are hanging out in what is likely 120 degree temperatures much of the day! At least I have workin...

    Mental Health Thread #7 -- Summer's Coming!

    Holy crap! Lessee ... I had two 19-hour days last week - had a jury trial and then had to work until 2 AM when the trial days were over. 46 hours of OT in two weeks. In July I will have 72 hours of OT in 2 1/2 weeks! The only reason it's not more is that I will be on vacation for almost two...

    Mental Health Thread #7 -- Summer's Coming!

    I'm STILL working those hours! Two 3-to-4-hour naps a day, working two jobs (teaching at the high school and police work), and doing one or both 7 days each week! Thank God it's summertime! Now, I only have to worry about one job where they are working me 60+ hours per week, and for my other...

    Americans with Disabilities Act and Education

    Well, I found Elle's post informative and well-stated. Thanks. I was thinking along similar lines when reading OP's post, but, mine came from common senses and what little I know about ADA regs as they relate to public administration - and i could not have articulated it so well and so succinctly.

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI false arrest for DWI

    That's grand, but that doesn't PROVE that the officer lied. Arguing a lie will be a huge hurdle to overcome, and nearly impossible to prove. The "witness" may have told the officer you were driving and he lied to you to keep you away from him. Witnesses don't tend to like suspects knowing...

    Assault & Battery I was assaulted in my own home by a guest/stranger

    If you call the police and report the initial attack it is possible that you can go to jail. It is also possible HE can go to jail. There's no way to predict what the other parties might say about what happened, so it's really a crap shoot. At this point, since you might just as easily be a...

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI false arrest for DWI

    The witness told he did not know who was driving ... the officer apparently says the witness told him you were driving. You can prove that the officer was lying ... how??? The witness may have been wrong, he may have lied to you just to shut you up as he had never though you would track him...

    Mental Health Thread #7 -- Summer's Coming!

    I can't recall any odd emails of applicants, but I have a number of stories in the realm of, "Maybe this career's not for you ..." On the personal history statement of one applicant a few years back he admitted he did not use marijuana, but he DID admit to buying an ounce for his wife about 30...

    Yeah. The only girls we see are the ones that follow the boys home! And, with the boys all having a number of girl FRIENDS, in addition to girlfriends, I do get to learn the drama associated with teenage and young adult girls, too. :) But, we do have the one constant: Comic Con! #4 son...

    Mental Health Thread #7 -- Summer's Coming!

    Let's see ... graduated two more boys - only one left and starting high school ... so, moving the next two out and off to college is the plan. But! Let's see, #1 son got the date wrong on a final, so his grade dropped from an A to a C and USD does not accept C's for entering juniors. So, he...

    What Can I LegaLLY DO?

    Unfortunately, Michigan is one of the few states that has failed to grant the authorities the legal power to forcibly return a child of 17 to their home against their will. The law in MI also appears to hold no sanctions against a person that harbors such a runaway. (MCL 712A.2 and MCL...

    Domestic Violence & Civil Orders State attorney try to contact me for a subpoena

    If you are issued a subpoena you will be required to obey it or risk the penalties (possible jail time). Or, you can hire an attorney and move to quash the subpoena, but that could be pricey and unless you truly lack any relevant information on the matter, you will likely lose.
