That's because the news only shows the bad in things. We get an impression of many things being bad, horrible, scary, etc. because when things go well they do not generate news headlines. When they go bad - and are titillating (like child care) - they attract attention. To my knowledge the...

Now, why is it that people assume that foster care is always so horrible? As a foster parent myself, I take some offense to the thought that children in my care are "rotting." Yes, there are some places where foster families are poorly monitored. Tragic, yes. Should it happen? No. But...

Then your attorney can make an argument for reasonable doubt. It might be that the DA will not even pursue the matter if you engage an attorney to address it soon enough.

Yes and yes. The defense can always try to argue a lack of probable cause or establish reasonable doubt at trial, but if the dope was found in an area of the purse that only you might have access to - such as your pocket book, behind your license, etc. - then you might have a tough time of it...

Yes, a misdemeanor ... and appears to be punishable by a fine from $50 to $500. No jail time is mentioned, but there may be some exception that allows jail. Best to talk to an attorney.

Seems quite unusual to me, and I do not see the need for the expense and urgency, but ... okay.

An Emergency Hearing on Sunday? On Labor Day weekend? I don't think so. At least not a court hearing. It may have been a meeting with the on call CPS social worker and a supervisor, but not likely a court hearing.

If you check with CHP units in those areas where officers have been hit, you will probably find that they are actively enforcing it. The problem is that if the officer is busy on the side of the road, he or she is not likely to have the time to go speed off after the offender of this section...

Yeah, it's not one that would be practical to apply in more urban environments, though, it is something to keep in mind when on a stop along a four lane roadway and cars pass close to you. I've never used it, but I know some of our DUI guys that have used it as reasonable suspicion to detain...

Here is some info on Ohio expungements: http://www.clelaw.lib.oh.us/public/misc ... ement.html If convicted and no diversion is offered, you might still be able to make it go away some time down the road.

FYI .. That is now up to $900 for California.

As a note, they may not wish to discuss personnel issues in the public forum of a school board meeting. I would very surprised if they would entertain ANY such discussion. It might be best, if this is the way you want to go, to bring it to the Superintendent first and then - maybe - to...

I have never said otherwise. But, termination in violation of a union contract is bad news out here. All sorts of rights - laws - apply when terminating a public employee and not adhering to certain rights which can include appeals and arbitration - see Skelly and Weingarten. This is why the...

In GA certain offenses can get a juvenile aged 13-17 charged as an adult. The offenses include: Murder, Voluntary Manslaughter, Rape, Aggravated Sodomy, Aggravated Child Molestation, Aggravated Sexual battery, and Armed Robbery With a Firearm. I can see a number of these that might apply...

I never said a law was broken. Only that she potentially has a case, and that if the employer is going around stating that she was terminated with cause and this is resulting in her not obtaining other positions than she has a further claim against them. Termination is almost certainly covered...

The law was enacted in 2007 as I recall: 21809. (a) A person driving a vehicle on a freeway approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle that is displaying emergency lights, a stationary tow truck that is displaying flashing amber warning lights, or a stationary marked Department...

Hence the reason she needs to inquire with the union. If she is a member, and they take up the fight for her, it should come to a quicker resolution. However, if the union does not support her play and she lacks the stones to compel them to provide representation, then she might have to...

I believe that he as a right of access through the easement but is not the owner of the property where the speed bumps were installed.

None of the cases I know of were heard by a jury, they were heard solely by mediators or judges (depending on the MOU, the claim and circumstances). Most resulted in out of court settlements of money, and/or a revision to the personnel record to reflect a resignation or forced the employer to...
