my friend is doing this, and he wanted to know.
Answer:
Generally the music industry sues for approx $5,000 to $15,000 dollars.
They would sue the household that the internet service was connected from, when the download occurs.
IE:
If he was downloading at home, they would sue his parents.
same as it is for an adult....chances are you won't get caught as long as the person isn't sharing files themselves and is just downloading....usually they settle for a fair price...as long as you're not downloading any software, then you can get into some very deep trouble...
chances are you won't get caught though.
He will have his PC taken. Since it can be considered a federal crime, there may be an investigation by the FBI. His parents may loose custody of him, and pay high fines. He and his family can be sued. (There goes their retirement money).
It depends on laws, and whats going on in the area you live in.
I suppose he can continue to do it and find out when he gets busted. By the way , no one in law enforcement cares if you're a Minor. If you're old enough to commit an adult like crime you'll probably do time, especially if you've been in trouble before.

What is the penalty for forgery of 23,000.00 in arizona?
Answer:
Enjoy prison...............
And pray you don't get sent to Sheriff Joe's tent city for the summer.
10 cents a day in prison, until the 23,000 is paid off in full!That's how much time a person will be in prison.
Actually, It does depend on the state and what the legislation has set up for the consequences for various crimes committed. Sometimes a person can spend 5-20 years in prison and pay off the rest on parole called "restitution".
The only way to know exactly what the sentencing will be like is to go through the court system and be convicted of a crime and the judge will hand the sentence out to be followed.
What is the penalty for driving without insurance and/or driving with expired registration in Kentucky?
I face a court date soon and was wanting to know what to expect. I'm of course guilty on both charges. The registration was expired for a month, and I've been driving without insurance for nearly a year.
Answer:
I live in a neighboring state that is much tougher on insurance than KY. Both are infractions. If you currently have insurance and a renewed expiration, take proof. Most likely the charges will be dismissed if you don't have much of a record. You may have to pay a nominal fine + court costs. I will say, worst case scenario is $250.
This is as long as the tickets were not the result of a traffic accident. That will make them significantly harsher in penalty.
worse than bootlegging. you are probably looking at about a $250 fine.
jan may be right about license suspension,but what is right about a bigger penalty for driving than bootlegging
You may lose your license and rightly so. We all know the law. You will probably will be fined for not having registered your vehicle. You will definitely pay a penalty when you do register now.

What is the Patriot Act? How come people are against it so much?
Answer:
Full name: Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001
What it is: It expanded the authority of U.S. law enforcement agencies for the stated purpose of fighting terrorism in the United States and abroad.
Among its many provisions, the act increased the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone and email communications and medical, financial, and other records; eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and enhanced the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism. The act also expanded the definition of terrorism to include “domestic terrorism,” thus enlarging the number of activities to which the Patriot Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.
It is criticized for weakening the protections on civil liberties.
Means the government can invade who evers privacy they want too in the name of anti terrorism.
Because it can be interpreted too vaguely and can be used against virtually anyone to deny them constitutional rights.
Its the law currently in place that states that the U.S. government has a right to go through your mail, tap your phones, watch your e-mail, track everything you do basically.
Many citizens believe it is an invasion of privacy, hence the dislike of the act.
The USA PATRIOT act gives federal investigate organizations unprecedented powers to intitiate surveillance on just about everyone.
No warrant or court order is required to initiate any form of surveillance. No review is done prior to this action.
To learn more use google with a simple search term of "USA PATRIOT act". You will see much more than you wanted!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/usa_patriot...
Only Demo-Socialist are against it.
The Patriot Act was passed in the dead of night a couple months after 9/11, without any congressional hearings. It allows the govt to seize all records of books a person has purchased or borrowed from a public library, and the bookseller or librarian is guilty of a major felony if they tell anyone including the purchaser or borrower, or even their own lawyer. It allows to govt to seize all medical records of any person. It allows the govt to obtain all records of a person's telephone calls. It authorizes the govt to run secret prisons and interrogation centers. It suspends habeas corpus. It ended the requirement for Senate approval of federal prosecutors, but that became such a hot potato that the govt has dropped it.
The Patriot Act was passed in post 9/11 America and enables the government to pry into your personal life if you are suspected of being a terrorist.
The problem with this act, I feel, is that it is comparable to our treatment of Japanese-Americans during WWII. The goverment was able to force these persons into work camps because of their ethnic background and the fact that we were at war with their country. I don't believe there is a provision in the Patriot Act for work camps, but it is limitless on who, how, and on what grounds someone's entire life can be picked apart by the government in the name of Homeland Security.
I personally don't want my government to be able to dig up any information on me, but at the same time have secrets it is keeping that I might want to know. I feel if you have the right to infringe upon my privacy than perhaps I should have the right to answers. I have nothing to hide so why should my government?
In essence, it gives the president dictatorial powers. More power than any other president has ever been given. Until the last election, there wasn't even any oversight to be sure these powers were not being abused. Our congress was totally cut out of government. Secrets abound. Power can corrupt even the best of souls.
Why anybody in their right mind would have allowed a situation like that is beyond my comprehension. Many overly trusting foolish people these days. A combination of fear and a lack of responsibility led to the Patriot Act.
It was a long-standing "wish list" of powers that the FBI, CIA, and various other agencies had tried to gain for years, but had been stopped by Congress and the courts. In the hysteria following 9/11, it was passed without even being read. It violates the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution in one fell swoop.
It is an article of giving up all our rights and our privacy in other words letting us be under the control of a dictatorship.
What is the official name of a Judge's hammer, and what does he pound it on?
Answer:
A gavel is a small ceremonial mallet commonly made of hardwood, typically fashioned with a handle and often struck against a sound block to enhance its sounding qualities. It is used by presiding officers鈥攏otably American judges, chairmen, and auctioneers鈥攖o call for attention or to punctuate rulings and proclamations. It is customarily struck to indicate the opening and closing of proceedings, giving rise to the phrase "gavel-to-gavel" to describe the entirety of a meeting or session. Robert's Rules of Order provides guidelines on the proper use of the gavel in deliberative assemblies.
By metonymy, the gavel represents the entire judiciary system, especially of judgeship; to "bring down the gavel" means to enforce or compel with the power of a court. It also represents the authority of presiding officers; thus the expression "passing the gavel" signifies an orderly succession from one chair to another.
The origin of the gavel's use, indeed of the word itself, is uncertain; in Middle English it refers to rent or tribute paid to a lord. It is possible that the use of a hammer in legislative or judiciary proceedings may represent Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, as the use of lawspeakers at Thing (assembly) is a practice that originated in heathen Scandinavia. Masonic organizations used the maul as a symbol as early as the 18th century, through which the hammer may have come to represent meetings and order. Another theory posits that the word is related to the gable of a roof, whose shape may resemble a mallet or gavel.
The image of the gavel is often used erroneously by advertising agencies worldwide to signify legal proceedings in many different jurisdictions, such as England %26 Wales, where in fact the gavel is never used.
gavel
Gavel, and he pounds it on the bench, and tottenham is mediocre. Nottingham!
gavel and pedestal
Gavel, and he pounds it on a wooden plate.
Judge's gavel and the 'sound block'
the sound block is usually round but I've seen them triangular, square, octagonal, etc.
The hammer is called a "Gavel" the thing he pounds it on is called a "Sounding Block" hence "Gavel and Block".
When they use the expression "Docket Sounding" that means the docket or agenda of the court is opened by sounding and then set and the judge pounds the sounding block to signal the closure of the docket or "Cloisturing".
The gavel and sounding block have been used in English courts and Parliament, and were a tradition adopted by American colonists early on. Each legislature has a set for each chamber, auctioneers use them, and courts have used them as well.
Hope that answers your question.
The Hammer he pounds with is a gavel
What he pounds it on is a sound-block.
What is the obvious irony about acquiring cannabis in the U.S.A.?
Answer:
To me, the irony is that there are actually many legitimate industrial uses (hemp is one) and medicinal uses (cataracts therapy is one example) for it. OK - so it can be abused - but so can a lot of things.
Ethanol, for example, the fuel that they make for replacing and/or supplementing gasoline is basically corn alcohol - what makers of ethanol have to do is put a colored dye in it and something that purposely gives it an awful taste mainly so that people won't drink it or use it to make booze.
Like a lot of things, when something illegal here reaches a certain tipping point, then the smuggling and international supply chain takes over. If people can't grow their own here, they will just end up getting it from Mexico.
It is illegal
its legal in denver actually (where i live)
its very fun too
oh and i did inhale
and its everywhere
that alcohol is still legal, when it causes as much or more harm as cannabis.
besides it being overrated and a form of witchcraft like its legal cousin the pharmaceutical industry,..i would say the government backed religion is in violation of the constitution while the government and doctors are getting 'high' on the profit from selling the confiscated and redistributed product to the dead people walking,..and montel is probably stoned every show,..and state employees should be drug tested more than the rest,..

What is the normal term for a securety guard to stay on one job?
Answer:
The services of a security guard is only contractual in nature more or less six months only. For those who are extended, they are fortunate.
There is no "normal" term for one particular job. It all depends on the nature of the assignment. I mean, you can get contracted to work for a band on tour, which could go for the length of that particular tour, or even for multiple. Like I said, it all depends on the terms of the contract.
For as long as they want too, providing they are getting paid.
What is the new law that will result in the removal of most legitimate Internet radio stations?
I heard a blip about this and am wondering what it's all about.
Answer:
The royalty rates the internet stations must pay for playing music have been dramatically raised, and the owners say this may make internet broadcasting economically not viable.
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. The Copyright Royalty Board in Washington, DC has more than tripled the royalty rates for webcasters and left unchanged they will kill Internet radio. These exorbitant rates go into effect on May 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). Without Congressional action the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. We need your help. Please take a moment to send a letter to your member of Congress to keep Net radio from being silenced.

What is the most effective way to get an attorney to represent a plaintiff "pro bono"?
Answer:
i am not trying to be flippant to your answer, since i hear this question so many times over.
pro bono work is available in death penalty cases and some high profile civil rights violations. so to answer your question, there simply are not enough resources to offer free work in regular cases where a person is afforded the assistance of counsel anyhow.
i have done pro bono work for a substantial amount of time and for the simple reason that by furnishing free legal work the firm can bill the hours against the income - meaning that it lowers the tax liability while, hopefully, doing something good.
i hope this answers it for you.
be poor.
contact your local legal aid organization
What is the most effective way to get YOU to work "pro bono?"
You have to qualify by being low-income, and get the attorney through your county's legal aid dept., whatever they happen to call it there. Ask the clerks in the court that your case is in, they can point you in the right direction.
As a lawyer I hear this question too many times. For those who earn below a certain income level, depending upon your state, there are certain legal aid organizations. The Federal government has dropped a large portion of the funding to these organizations, so it may be tough to find one in your town. Call your local bar association or look in the phone book for legal aid organizations. If you qualify for this service by all means use it.
For a private practice attorney this type of question is troubling. You do not hear people asking for ways to get free food, free gas, free electricity, free rent, yet this question is common to lawyers. The majority of lawyers do not make the huge salary that the small percentage of high profile lawyers you see on TV do. The majority of lawyers have student loans, mortgages, utility bills, and all the other expenses that you have. For those of us who own our businesses we have other normal expenses like rent, salaries, advertising, etc, no one gives us a break on these costs.
For a potential client to come to us an say that the value of our work is so small that it is worth zero dollars is insulting.
They're using attorneys now instead of lab rats. To keep the Lab Techs from becoming attached.
What is the Miranda admonishment?
Answer:
The Miranda warning includes the following rights:
1. The right to remain silent; (anything the suspect says can be used against him/her;
2. The right to an attorney and to have the attorney present during questioning;
3. The right to appointed counsel if cannot afford an attorney; and
4. With that understanding of your rights, are you willing to speak with me (the police officer) without an attorney being present?
The Miranda warning is given to protect a suspect's 5th Amendment right to remain silent. The State cannot compel a suspect to testify against himeslf/herself.
Miranda is required if the police engage in "custodial interrogation" of a suspect. That means the suspect must be in custody and the police must be trying to elicit testimony/a statement from the suspect.
An example: Police stop your car. Officer says "do you know why I stopped you?" You say: "Because I was speeding (or ran red light or I was drinking or something)." Cops can use your statement against you. No Miranda necessary because you are not in custody at the time.
But cop detains you and takes you to station. Wants to question you about your driving/activities/etc. Got to give you Miranda warning. And cannot question you unless you waive your rights and agree to talk.
It's the Miranda advisement..... the advisement you get when arrested and before questioning letting you know what your constitutional rights against self incrimination are. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law., etc..... So named after a court case in the 60's.
The requirement that a defendant be informed of his right to remain silent and to an attorney before being questioned by police
What is the minimum time for an eviction notice?
Answer:
normally 30 days in Texas. If they want you out faster than that they have to take you to court. and Court is going to take a couple of weeks anyway.
It depends on where you live. In California it is 60 days notice for them to ask you to move out...but they only need to give you a three day notice to pay or quit before beginning "eviction" process in court.
I think it is 72 hours... but you have to have a REALLY good excuse not to give 30 days!
Depends on the reason for the eviction. For non-payment of rent, typically three days; for no reason other than the owner's preference, at the end of the current lease period; for causing a hazard to persons or property, 24 hours or less.
Depending on the lease agreement, on a month to month tenancy a person can be served in 10 days and taken to magistrate in 10 more. If there is a peace and quiet clause the person can be evicted same day/next day if the surrounding tenants go to the magistrate with the landlord and voice their complaints.
CA - a year lease? 3 days, but that's extreme. They would had to have broken the contract bigtime.
30 days for a month to month contract.
If no contract - I think it's 60 or 90 days.

What is the minimum amout of money one can be sued for?
OK....my friend wanted me to ask this question...
also, if someone owed someone $20 for a game that was borrowed a year and a half ago... that cannot be brought up in court right....
Answer:
you don't have to sue for money at all!
!500 is the max in small claims court. It just cost me 20 dolars wasting my time answering your question so maybe I should sue you.
You could sue over that.
It'd probably annoy the judge, but you can do it. You'd probably want to go to Small Claims Court, as I doubt any lawyer would want to present that to a court.
One Penny is the minimum amount. About the game, if it is provable that the person borrowed the game and you are taken to court, it would have to be added into the trial and damages seeked. But remember the burden of proof lies on the Plaintiff not the Defendant. They have to prove their case, you just have to defend yours. Good Luck
I don't know if there is an established minimum. The benefits would have to outweight the costs, of course. There would be no point in spending an entire day in court to try and get twenty dollars in the end.
You can sue for any amount of money, no matter how small. But when you sue you have to pay a filing fee. In small claims court it's usually around $50. So if it's less than that, there's no point.
the minimum in small claims court is one dollar - and you can also sue for injunctive relief which is no money

What is the meaning of prescription in Law?
Answer:
It is the medicin you are going to recieve.
prescription
n. the method of acquiring an easement upon another's real property by continued and regular use without permission of the property owner for a period of years required by the law of the state (commonly five years or more). Examples: Phillip Packer drives across the corner of Ralph Roundup's ranch to reach Packer's barn regularly for a period of ten years; for a decade Ronald Retailer uses the alley behind Marjorie Howard's house to reach his storeroom. In each case the result is a "prescriptive easement" for that specific use. It effectively gives the user an easement for use but not ownership of the property.

What is the maximum sentence for serious assault?
Answer:
abh with intent 7 years gbh with intent up too life abh upto 3 years gbh up too 5 years depending on your previous past
lol,lol,lol,lol,lol,lol.......... "WHY"?????????????????????
10 years
Maximum sentence for an assault occasioning grievous bodily harm (GBH) is LIFE imprisonment
As is ANY racially aggravated assault
An assault which occasions actual bodily harm (ABH) the maximum term is 5 years imprisonment
It depends how serious the assault is, here's a rough guide though
Common assault and battery - Max up to 6 mnths imprisonment
Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm - Max 5 Years inprisonment
Malicious Wounding or Inflicting Grievous Bodily Harm - Max 5 Years (but can be longer as is more serious than ABH)
Wounding or causing Grievous Bodily Harm With Intent - Max Life inprisonment
For more detail search the net for the Offences Against The Person Act 1861, hope this helps!
Not long enough. Courts are to damn soft!!
Not long enough.

What is the maximum punishment for assault with a deadly weapon in the state of Texas?
What is the offense? Is it a felony or a misdemeanor? Serious answers only please. Thanks.
Answer:
if it is 2nd degree felony then it is like 2-20 if it is 1st degree then it is 5-99 or life
If it was a gun, then the maximum punishment is 99 years, suspended. After all, a man who loves guns can't be all bad, right?
"In the Great State, you can get five years for murder, and 99 years for pot possession."
-- Molly Ivins. The late, great Molly never said whether it would be reduced to 98 years if you didn't inhale.

What is the maximum height of a domestic garden hedge? (UK)?
A couple of years ago there was a big fuss over the heights on domestic garden hedges (mainly caused by laylandia hedges growing out of control) and I seem to think that some restrictions were introduced. If this is so can anyone tell me what is the maximum height that you can legally grow a hedge to. Is it 6ft?
Answer:
It is 6ft
although you see lylandia higher the neighbor could ask for it to be chopped to 6 ft if they felt it was obstructing their view.
yes it is 6 feet
I think it depends where the hedge is. If it is possibly obstructing light from a window/door than it is 6ft. If on the other hand it is at the bottom of a garden, an adjoining field on the other side..........no hight restriction. Our trees at the bottom of the garden adjoining scrubland are more than 30 ft hight..................

What is the maximum amount of interest you can charge on an unpaid debt in Utah?
Someone vandalized my property and I got them to sign a police report admitting to it. We had our lawyer write up a contract of repayment that she signed. The lawyer didn't add to that contract any terms or consequences of her not paying which has happened. I wanted to know when I could start charging interest from and the maximum amount I could charge her.
Thanks
Answer:
Well if it isnt in the contract I am not certain that you can. But you may be able to charge an amount that is common.
If this falls into a small claims category ( which is up to 5k dollars I believe ) then I would take your letter in and get a judgement and state to the judge that you have already tried to settle the matter privately , showing them the letter of course and that you have not received payment.
Then of course that still does not force the person to pay you.
I would ask the judge at that time to give them a short amount of time to make payments and also include in the original amount the filing fee and interest, if he will grant it.
Then if they do not start paying you by the specified time file a writ of garnishment with the court and get the money garnished from them.
None hopefully. It is a sin to charge interest.
Take them to small claims court and get a judgment against them. Because you did not charge interest I don't think that you can now.
However, once you get a judgment against them signed by the judge you may get a writ of attachment against their wages. A very easy process, I do it all the time to people who owe and don't pay.
Thanks

None hopefully. It is a sin to charge interest.
Take them to small claims court and get a judgment against them. Because you did not charge interest I don't think that you can now.
However, once you get a judgment against them signed by the judge you may get a writ of attachment against their wages. A very easy process, I do it all the time to people who owe and don't pay.
What is the max sentence on 4th degree assult?
court battle
Answer:
Every state is different; you can call the DA's office and get a sentencing guideline.
90 days probation, in my case.
It depends on what jurisdiction you're in. In many states, 4th Degree Assault is either a low class felony (1-5 years in state penitentiary) or maybe even a misdemeanor (up to 12 months in county jail). There can also be aggravating factors that alter the sentencing guidelines or the crime's status as a felony or misdemeanor (for instance, some jurisdictions elevate the punishment for Assault 4th if it involves spousal abuse). In any event, you would need to check the criminal code of your jurisdiction.

What is the main diference between concealment and nondisclosure in business law?
Answer:
Knowledge of an event , communication, property, or intelligence that is concealed, with intent to conceal, from scrutiny or investigation, by any lawfull body or court.
Nondisclosure is the knowingly withholding of information, intelligence , property, with the knowledge that the information, intelligence, property, is required or could be usefull in the full investigation or scunity by a lawfull body or court.
Lying to any official or officer of the court is , of course, prohibited. Under lawfull investigative tools, misleading or lying by the officials or officers of the court is not prohibited and cannot be used in defense with any impact.
Concealment is active, nondisclosure is passive.
Concealment involves taking affirmative steps to hide something; nondisclosure involves failing to take affirmative steps to reveal it.
The legal consequences of one may be different from those of the other depending on the circumstances. For example, someone accused of failing to disclose something may not have known whatever it was he is accused of not disclosing. The consequences of his failure may depend on whether he should have known it -- that is, whether his role in the transaction imposed a duty on him to inquire and make a reasonable effort to uncover it.
What is the limitation time to file a suit upon criminal procedures?
Answer:
Time limitation of filling any criminal complaint in India is provided under section 468 of the Criminal procedure Code as:- Bar to taking cognizance after lapse of the period of limitation:-(1) Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Code, no Court shall take cognizance of an offence of the category specified in sub-section (2), after the expiry of the period of limitation.
(2) The period of limitation shall be :-
(a) six months, if the offence is punishable with fine only;
(b) one year, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year;
(c) three years, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term exceeding one year but not
exceeding three years.
(3) For the purposes of this section, the period of limitation, in relation to offences which may be tried together, shall be determined with reference to the offence which is punishable with the more severe punishment or, as the case may be, the most severe punishment.
In CA, the DA has one year to file criminal charges from the date of citation/arrest
You will need to provide additional information in order to receive a valid response. The statute of limitations varies dependent on the offense and the state in which it was committed.
Check with the lawyer. Each state (location) is different.
It also depends on the crime, in some case there is no limit and in other case it is 72 days this is in same state.
in India, a First hand Information report (FIR) has to be registered within 24 hours of the incident.
Please check with the nearest police station.
If you commit a crime in NC and are picked up 6 years and 364 days later, you can still be charged for the crime, but the statute of limitations varies from state to state.
There is no statute of limitation in India for criminal offences in India, as in the USA. But the gravity of the crime would be dwindled with efflux of time. Also material witnesses may disappear and material evidenceserased,destroyed or lost. Investigation will be much hampered and the police may find it very difficult to track the culprit and collect evidence for a sustainable charge which will stand the test of trial.
The exception is S 138 of the negotiable instruments Act, (cheque bouncing cases) where special limitations have been prescribed for various stages, and mind, this is to be prosecuted by the complainant in a private petition under S 200 of the Cr.P.C.
For your information no suit can be filed under criminal procedure.
What is the limit on being stopped by the police?
need some help on how many times you can get stoped in one week, before it's classed as harsment?
Answer:
There's no limit if you're doing something illegal silly boy! If the police are stalking you and just pulling you over to give you grief, then you can complain it's harassment.
Now just what are you doing to cause these stops? Let's be a little honest here.
There is no limit. They can stop you each and every time you give them cause.
It will stop once you get your lincense revoked which is when you get 20 points on your lincense
Depends on how many times you break the law!
No limit
There's no limit. You must be doing something that gets their attention ... so settle down and act like the rest of us for a while and see if they leave you alone. You're not driving a red Mustang GT like a lunatic, are you? They don't like them!
no limit if your breaking the law he can stop you as many times as he wants to and arrest you if need be
There are no limits. As long as you are disobeying the law - or if the police have probable cause, they can and will stop you.
If you don't want to be stopped by the police, then obey the laws.....
I had a one night stand with a woman who just happened to already have a partner who was a pig. I knew nothing of this till i got seven producers in one week.
The final straw came when i had just produced at a police station, went outside got in my car and a officer came out of the police station and gave me another producer.
I walked back in the station and made an official complaint on paper to stop the harassment.
Oh, i saw his missus on a couple of more occasions to get my own back. Changed my car though. lol
Police have the duty to stop anyone that they believe may be about to or already in the process of committing an illegal act. The standard is, if a reasonable person would believe that a crime was about to be committed, then the police have every right to stop you and question you for a reasonable time. Terry v. Ohio.
Now, if the time of detention exceeds 20 minutes or so, without clear and compelling cause, the detention becomes a
De Facto arrest, and all the remedies for false arrest are
available if you can show there was no cause for the stop/
detention. It should be noted that these principles apply in
criminal settings. If your issue is a loud muffler or excessive smokeor some other type of infraction, then once you have been cited, you have a set period to correct the problem. But, only one ticket per occurrence.
Bottom line is, is there probable cause? Thats the question that you have to ask. In a case called Bivens, the issue was at what point a police officer lost his limited immunity for tortious acts commited in performance of duty.
The Bivens standard is that there must be intent, or reckless
disregard of the likelihood of violation of a known, protected federal right.
Summary? If the police act in an arguably improper manner, the proper place to address it is the courts. If you get spunky with police in performance of their duty, you can
be charged with offenses ranging from Obstruction of Justice and Interference with an Officer to Battery on a Peace Officer, depending on how bad it gets.
There is no limit. Perhaps there is a reason why you have got stopped so many times, I have only ever been stopped once.
If you feel it's unfair why not simply ask them why they are stopping you?
you feel you are being harassed pop down to the force headquarters and register a complaint however as I found out once you will struggle to prove it as these guys are quite adept at covering their backs. If its the case that you wear a baseball cap or drive a flash car (or a red / black car) you will likely get stopped more often
There is no limit it would only be harassment if you were stopped on multiple occasions for no good reason.Most people are not stopped in their life times so there is usually some good reason for stopping people.

What is the legality of ordering marijuana seeds to you in the U.S. ?
Answer:
It is NOT Legal-if marijuana is illegal then it stands to reason that the seeds(to make more marijuana-the reason seeds are produced by plant,flowers and the such is to continue the plant,flower etc.) Presently though one can buy Hemp Seeds legally in the US-very healthy etc but No THC cannot get high.
It is 100% illegal. Be careful.
Dope is a good but don't go to jail doing
something dumb. Buy some good stuff and it
will have useable seeds in it.
it is illegal look at tommy chong he tried to do it he was arrested also there is a guy in BC that the US wants badly for selling seeds on the internet, just go buy a cheap bag there are plenty of seeds, might not be the best quality but sometimes there is a sneaker seed in there
you are out of your damn mind to do something like that...the DEA/FBI watch websites that promote that kind of stuff...be careful asking Web questions concerning that...you are intruding on their money-maker...

What is the legal way of evicting a boyfriend of 4 years in the state of Wisconsin?
Answer:
If he doesn't own the property, then kick him out! However, since you have dated him for 4 years, be the bigger person and be respectful to him.
Give him some notice.
A crowbar to the knees?
Say he hit you.
If you have no written contract or lease just tell him to vacate and move on. If you do have a lease/contract with him then you need to legally evict him.
If you don't own the home then you can always move and not tell him where you're going.
Don't let boyfriends move in with you. You can't evict someone because you're not dating anymore.
I hope you had the foresight to write a lease agreement, but if not he's there as long as he wants to be.
Your best bet is to cut off all non-essential utilities. There may be laws against cutting power and water, but does he like phone service? Cable TV? Internet? If so, you're not obligated to provide those things...cut the service. You may be able to "encourage" him to find another place of his own.

There is a specific statute on this (among other things), and it is known as "defrauding an innkeeper." (Penal Code section 537.) The punishments are the same as for other thefts, however. $400 or less, a misdemeanor with a six month maximum jail term. Over $400 (don't pull this at Spago), a misdemeanor with a one year maximum jail term or a felony with a three year maximum prison term.

What is the legal nightclubbing age in USA and what ID is required by a nightclub?
I am coming from the united kingdom on holiday and wanted to know what ID to bring along with the legal age for clubbing the USA
Answer:
The legal drinking age in the US is 21 everywhere. You'll need some ID. Since your'e not American, I believe your passport will be good enough. The common ID being checked is a driver's license.
21 years of age....and a photo ID
mostly 21 and you need a state issued driver's license or identification card. some clubs will let you in at 18 just depends where your going
The age is 21. In the U.S. they take a driver's license. I would suggest you bring one from U.K. if you have it.
It's usually 18 or 21 depending on the club's policy. You would want an official government issued ID in order to get in.
It's 21 nationwide. And you will need a valid I.D. Card, as well as a drivers license. Good luck, have fun, and stay safe.
If you gots big jugs, jus show at da door and you will be cool !
21 is the legal age most places, although there are some over/under clubs that allow 18 yr olds. 21 is the legal drinking age in the US thats why most clubs only allow 21 and up. Most places require a picture ID with your DOB listed. You may have to use your passport. I know some corner stores wont accept anything but a state ID (no out of state ID's or military Id's accepted, not sure if some clubs require the same)
have fun and be safe
Mikeztheman is most correct...remember we are a federal system with federal and state laws...here it depends on state laws and club policy not federal laws.
In some places it is 18 and others it is 21...and it all depends on whether alcohol is served and what access do club goers have to it....some clubs have policies where they require patrons to be 25 or older due to the atmosphere created by younger adults....when you get here check with each individual club you intend to go to...or with whoever is here that you know....
As for ID if you have a driver's license or a state issued ID...something with your picture on it that shows your date of birth...you should be ok.
i think it depends on what state you are in in some its 18 in others its 21 so try to check on the drinking age on the state you are going to
it differs from state to state. The national legal average to get into a night club is 18 years of age and some might be 21 years of age. You need to bring your drivers license and some other form of identification with your birthday on there.
21 however in some states its 25

What is the legal force of the "confidential" label?
A journalist obtains from an inside contact a company document stamped "confidential" and containing information about final decisions to close some of the firm's departments. What's is the legal force of the 'confidential' label? the answer must illustrate how conclusions are reached in the light of the laws of confidentiality
Thanks very much if you can help
Answer:
None to the journalist.
The document carries that as an identifier to those
who have signed a confidentiality agreement with the company.
The label it's self is meaningless. It's the agreement which refers to it that is binding.
(First, this is a general understanding of U.S. law. If you have a particular issue, SEEK A LAWYER RIGHT AWAY, as disclosure of business information may be enjoined or other immediate relief may be granted.)
Well, what do you mean by "legal force"? Who do you want to sue? The journalist?
The journalist could be sued for a number of things, including violation of trade secrets, invasion of privacy, conversion, and any other number of torts if the journalist himself steals, breaks in, or otherwise misappropriates the document. If the journalist _receives_ the document from someone in the company (regardless of whether the person had the authority to give it to him), the options against the journalist are very, very limited (unless the journalist worked in concert or conspired with the inside man).
If an employee gave away the information, there are actions that could be taken against the employee (trade secrets, conversion, etc.).
I'm assuming this "confidential" document is just confidential in the corporate sense -- that is, it's just a business document that incorporates a business secret -- and that it's not confidential pursuant to a court order, or a governmental "top secret" document (where the journalist or the employee may or may not be in contempt of court for disclosure or have violated state or federal criminal law for disclosing a governmental secret).
Now, after all of that, your question seems to be-- if the document has the word "CONFIDENTIAL" stamped on it, can the journalist (or the inside man) be sued if the contents are disclosed?
Yes and no. Adding the word "confidential" demonstrates that the company is treating the information contained as a trade secret. If the company actually protects the information, then disclosure can be actionable under the state's relevant Trade Secrets Act. "Confidential" helps demonstrate that the document is a scret. (However, if the document was willingly given to a reporter, the information is no longer a secret, and the reporter can't be held liable for publishing it.)
But there is no law that says a journalist cannot publish "confidential" information. In fact, that's oftentimes what journalists try to find and publish. Once again, the issues change if the journalist comes into your office and steals the document, but then there may be liablity regardless of whether the word "confidential" is posted.

What is the legal drinking up time in England?
Answer:
*Maximum* drinking up time in England is 20 mins after the bar closes (this is down to the license of the pub/bar) but a pub is entitled to ask you to leave at any time so you can't require them to give you the full 20 mins.
24 hours now they changed the law last year. But in the end its up to the pubs.

What is the legal curfew for a 16 year old in minnesota?
Answer:
IDK, but here it's 10 p.m.
I think curfews are set at the local or county level, so it probably varies.
Curfew?? in middle of USA. Not even in Iran.I can not believe it.
It depends on the county/city your in. Can't answer otherwise
Whatever time the parents say...........
It depends on the city you're in. google curfew minnesota and you come up with all sorts of stuff
It doesn't really matter what it is. Curfews are a violation of rights and therefore are unacceptable, except in a totalitarian dictatorship.
Don't concern yourself with what the curfew law says. Ignore it and hope you violate it. Unjust laws should not be followed. Curfews are comparable to some of the bigoted laws that Gandhi and Martin Luther King fought against.
Curfews violate the right to travel (which is derived from the right to liberty) just like slavery. They also violate the principle of equality under the law (which is the only form of equality referred to in the Declaration of Independence).
If a government violates rights, you are obliged to alter or abolish the government to stop those violations.
What is the law?
Answer:
Law is a tool to save our social structure.
The law in reference to what?
You need to be more specific in your question.
Your question, "What is the law?" Could encompass a great variety of countries, cultures, people, and laws.
What type of law are you questioning.
laws are meant to be made and broken by vips.
Law is common sense which courts lay down !
Rules enacted and recognised by a community. This is binding on all people. Law controls the society. This is a code of conduct. There are unwritten laws that a society follows by convention.
No Law
Law is the will of common people.
What is the law with regard to taking time off to take your child to the doctors?
Is it sick pay, holiday pay or unpaid. And can you be warned for taking too much time off?
Answer:
Check out this link, it is from the Department of Trade %26 Industry Website and gives a brief explanation of the parental leave that we are entitled to in the UK.
http://www.dti.gov.uk/employment/workand...
Its up to your employer. You have no legal protection.
i think you can take something like up to 16 weeks a year off, unpaid, if its for a child under 16 i think, unless they have disabilites.
this is for the UK. has been bout a year since i did employment law and cant remember too much!! kinda bad that
A employer can fire you with no cause at all in most states. There is no law in this regard.
There is no law with regards to taking your child to the doctor. You can take time off, but it will be at the discretion of your employer. You have to manage the time allotted to you through sick time, vacation time etc. The law you are thinking of would not apply for normal things such as checkups for your child.
If your child has an illness,particularly a chronic one that requires you to be away from work for an extended period of time, you will be covered by the Federal law called the Family Medical Leave Act. The Family %26 Medical Leave Act (FMLA) allows ”eligible” employees to take off up to 12 work weeks in any 12 month period to care for a family member, or if the employee themselves has serious health condition. You are only an “eligible” employee if your employer employs 50 or more employees within 75 miles of the worksite.
FMLA can be taken on an intermittent basis allowing the employee to work on a less than full-time schedule.
The employee is entitled to have their benefits maintained, but they must continue to pay their portion during the leave. The employee also has the right to return to the same or equivalent position, pay, and benefits at the conclusion of their leave.
It can only be sick pay for your own ill health, not a child's or other family members. If you take it as sick pay your employer could sue you.
You can have 5 paid days of carer leave a year legally. You can take unpaid leave at the discretion of your boss. If you take a lot of unplanned and sporadic time off you may get a warning. You can offer to make up time lost and keep records of the same.
Generally speaking your Boss employs you and does not have much legal obligation to accomodate your private life events.
All employees are entitled to a reasonable time off work without pay, to deal with an emergency involving a dependant. For example, if a dependant falls ill or is injured, if care arrangements break down, or to arrange or attend a dependant's funeral.

What is the law regarding personal property left behind at a residence?
I was allowing someone to stay in a room of my home for a few months. There was no rent being paid or any rental agreement, I was just doing him a favor. Today there was a disagreement, and he decided to start staying with his mom instead. He left all of his clothing and personal belongings. I wanted to know how long I have to keep these things before I am legally allowed to dispose of them?
Answer:
You have to give him notice and then he has 30 days to claim his property in South Carolina. Check you local laws though. I've been after my ex-wife to get her crap out of my house for 8 months. The judge finally told her she had until May 6.
Send him a registered letter - "return receipt requested" - telling him to pick up his stuff within 30 days or it will be disposed. That should be fair enough.

What is the law regarding Committees and AGMs etc?
We are a small committee that organises the local horticultural show and arranges social events for members of the community.
We don't have (or are not aware of, as we are all new members) a constitution.
We obviously handle the public's money, and our accounts are readily available for anyone to see.
We would like to undertake some larger projects and have the commitment of members to sit on the committee for a period of two years. What we would like to know is: Are there any laws governing the writing of a constitution and more especially, Annual General Meetings (we would obviously prefer to hold these bi-annually)
Answer:
If you go to the Charity Commission website, there is a v good basic constitution for an association which would probably serve you. You would not be charitable however unless your objects were charitable and some examples are given on the CC website, eg if you were set up for 'general charitable purposes in the village of blah blah'. Your constitution is your guide to how your organisation is run and will stipulate how many on the committee, how its made up, frequency of meetings, etc. My e mail addy on my profile if I can help.
You need specialist advice. http://www.ncvo-vol.org.uk/whatwedo/?id=... may be a good start.
There are rules and regulations I think to keep to but these are fairly easy to adhere to. There are more rules if you are a registered charity as well (check out the charity comission web site - it might help having charity status).
You might want a constitution to include things such as when you have committee meetings, your goals, when the AGM should be, the number of people needing to vote on issues for them to be approved, etc..
While you are a happy organisation then things will work by good will but consider making the rules such that if bad blood should occur then people cant steam roll your group and alter the way it is run to their benefit too easily. I think you can include lots in your constitution
oh ANNUAL genereral meeting - its an annual thing, not every other year!!

What is the law on taking time off work for hospital and doctors appointments and where can i find it?
Answer:
Under the Employment Rights Act 1996 section 57A you are entitled to take reasonable (unpaid) time off in defined emergencies or situations, such as doctors appointments. Section 57A(3) also provides that you can take time off to attend such appointments with your dependents (including spouses, parents, children, etc, and any others who reasonably rely on you for such assistance). You therefore have a right to these days off, which is independent of any holiday entitlement. If your employer should dismiss you for taking such leave, this is automatically unfair (even without one year’s service), entitling you to compensation from the employment tribunal. Lesser action such as docking your holiday entitlement should be a “detriment” contrary to section 47, but bear in mind that you had no right to be paid for the time off.
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/employment/e...
should all be here for you
Not sure that its law, usually at the company's discretion.
I think this is the one area companies can make up their own rules. Where I work lets you take hospital and doctors appointments in works time and you get normal pay for this time as usually hospital appointments you have no control over and my doctor doesnt work outside of my own working hours. Your company should have it written down officially somewhere and you should be able to view the policy without fear of reprisals.
It is a matter of arrangement with the employer under the terms of your contract of employment.. Employees do not usually have rights as such unless their contract allows for this. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/employment/e... However, pregnant women who are employees have statutory rights to take time off for antenatal appointments. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/employment/e...
in a law book
I don't think it is actually law, it is probably at your employers discretion to allow time off for appointments, unless you are pregnant, there may be some statute to govern that. Have a word with your human resources department.
What is the law on returning items after 14 days with a receipt?
Answer:
Depends on the store, and also are the goods faulty?
There is no law governing returning goods.
Policy is usually set by the individual merchants.
if the goods are faulty then they are "not fit for the purpose". they have to give you a refund or exchange. the choice is yours. however if you are taking something back because you don't like the colour or it doesn't fit, then the shop does not have to do anything.
If faulty the "Sale Of Goods Act" applies and you are legally entitiled to a refund. If you have changed your mind then it is up to the individual store. For example Marks And Spencer" gives you up to 90 days.
most places have a 28 day policy with receipt. as long as they can either See a manufacturing fault or it can be resold again.
Depends on why you want to return it, if it's just because you don't like it then the law offers no protection at all and it is down to the individual shop/store.
If it is faulty (genuinely) then the sales of goods act means you can demand a refund, up to 6 months old.
After 6 months the shop can insist on getting the goods tested first
28 days under statuory rights!
What is the law on payment of overtime after 40hours per week?
Answer:
It will depend on the state in which you reside and also whether you are an exempt or non-exempt employee. The link below will give you info on Federal law.
One and one half times your standard pay rate for all hours worked over 8 in a day and or 40 hours worked in a work week.
Its mandatory in most types of employment instances.
You can sue and probably prevail.
Here's the official UK (as opposed to US) word on it :http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/employment/e...
yes will depend where you are
There is no law on payment of overtime in the UK. It depends on your employer. Many people work more than 40 hours a week (including me) for no extra pay.
In the UK it is entirely down to your terms of employment.
No law - depends what your contract of employment states. It must state what your basic hours are and how many a week, and if overtime is payable at what rate .
Check your contract first.
What is the law on owning a handgun in Texas?
I need to know the law because i have a debate and my topic is wether or not handguns should be abolished in texas!!
Answer:
They don't give guns out at birth in Texas?? Just kidding!! I rated the person I agreed with. Guns don't kill, the brainless people holding them do. I am against "abolishing" gun ownership. I used to have guns in my house but don't any longer because I have teenagers I don't trust with a car, let alone something like that. It's all about educating the parents so they can educate their children. But there are too many parents that are too busy, absent or drug addicted, that stuff like last week has to happen. I want the choice to be able to have a gun, drive a car that is a color someone doesn't like and to be able to cut my own hair (which has been illegal in my town since the 1880's).
they are very lax on gun laws in texas.... my baby boy could have one if he knew how to use it
Pretty much anyone can own a handgun except for ex-cons, children under 17 and mentally troubled or chemically dependent people. However, to carry a concealed handgun one must be trained and licensed.

What is the law in the UK regarding threats made on your life?
i have a friend across the road who had three men at his door the other night who threatened to kill his wife and kids over some trouble he has had with another neighbour...it's only minor problems that my friend has had with the neighbour but he has always had the police involved...the other night the police came out and gave one of the blokes making the threat an on the spot fine and told to go home....now my friend is worried in case these idiots were serious..the housing don't want to know and the police don't seem interested
Answer:
There is an offence called 'threats to kill'. It carries a 10 year custodial sentence on conviction. It is a very serious matter and needs to be reported to the police immediately. I am a criminal defence solicitor.
Making threats to kill is a crime punishable by a long jail sentence. Your friend should get some CCTV and audio recording equipment set up so next time (I really hope there isn't a next time), he has evidence against them.
Unfortunately there are many cases which turn out to be more than an idle threat.. the trouble is trying to prove that there is an actual threat...how many times have you said, 'I could kill him....' just in temper but not actually wanting to literally kill someone. He should maybe try and fix up some sort of Video camera so that when an actual threat is made, then it can be shown to the Police and be used as evidence.
threatening to kill someone is a serious offence and the police should be taking this seriously. i know a girl who threatened to kill another girl with a text message she went to a juvenile unit so it is serious. i would be back on to the police and get a restraining order.you need to take this seriously this is lives your playing with its not a game
Your friend can take out a private summons by attending at your local magistrates' court and laying a complaint (i.e. giving evidence of this matter of making threats to kill and of the fact that he is seriously worried about it.) Normally the CPS would then take over conduct of the case, as the courts aren't too keen on private individuals prosecuting criminal cases. However, he'd better think very hard before risking this, as it might stir up trouble where in fact the threats were not to be taken seriously. It sounds rather as though this bully sent round his mates to put the frighteners on your friend. However, the offence of making threats to kill is subjective, i.e. it is a matter of whether the threats were made with the intention of making the other person think that they were realy going to be carried out -- which seems to e the case here.
be careful, it sounds good on paper but remember the police and solicitors have a different level of support than you and I, I would ask the victims of crime organisation first, just so that you have it on record that you are seeking police protection: example..
a nutter from my neighbourhood threatened and eventually hit my girl-friends son at a party, the police took a statement and after promises not to tell the attacker, ended up telling him and as he lived next door began a campaign of harassment, even though my girl-friends daughter was a police officer in our town..'unusual' he still made us suffer with aggressive behaviour and insults..right now he's serving a sentence and when he has finished it will be further charged for breaking a baseball bat over his partners head..we called the police because she was calling for help. Sorry its negative advice but the reality is the courts and police are ineffective and basically don't give a crap
If any thing the 3 men could be guilty of an assault at least. Common law assault is the apprehension of unlawful physical force. Even silence can amount to an assault - R v Ireland (1997).

What is the law governing obtaining a drivers lisence in arkansas while a dui is pending in tennessee?
Answer:
i got a dui in oklahoma in 1999 have had a valid ark lisence ever since until 07 they just started running ok. so i cant get it renewed until i complete 24 hr dui school(360.00)drug%26 alcahol assesment(175.00)%26 225.00 to reinstate ok lisence before i can renew ark dl(sucks)
That will probably show up on a NCIC check.
I suspect you can get a license in Arkansas if you live there, as you should! However, if convicted expect Arkansas to rescind your license until all matters have been cleared in Tenn and you are eligible to drive.
There is no state hopping like there used to be!
What is the law governing committees and AGMs?
Answer:
Can you be more specific as there are quite a few "laws" and proffesional codes of conduct regarding Committees and AGM's depending on what type of group you are talking about and its constitution or terms of reference.
Unless we are talking about a Company or some official body (incorporated by law), there isn't one.
All Clubs %26 Societies will have Rules written in their Constitution (same applies to many official bodies). Go find the Constitution.
TYPICALLY ...
Annual General Meetings would be held once per year (there will be some Rules about how much notice must be give, what proportion of the members must attend (Quorum) and how Voting is conducted ('first past the post', 'single transferable vote', '50% + 1' and so on).
Committees are normally elected at the AGM - in some Clubs Committee members must be re-elected every year, in others Committee members are elected for longer periods eg. 3 or 5 years and elections only take place at that time (or when some-one resigns or looses a vote of no confidence)
There will be Rules on the calling of EGM's and how a call for a vote of 'no confidence' must be conducted (eg. first a petition of X% of the members or of N members etc) etc.
What is the legal age to purchase petrol? Can a person under age pay for petrol?
we are fed up with parents sending under 16s into pay for fuel we tell them it is illegal are we right
Answer:
I thought the legal age was 16 that they can buy petrol. Yep def have to be 16.
Petrol %26 Petroleum Spirits
You have to be 16 years old to buy petrol or petroleum spirits.
Did you know?
Petrol is an explosive substance.
Petrol vapour has acute and chronic effects if inhaled.
yes
You have to be eighteen to buy petrol.
There is no age to buy it.
I don't think that it's illegal to pay for the fuel, just illegal to operate the pump (but I could be wrong).
Its illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to operate the pumps or purchase petrol.
The gas station that I go to has a label posted right by the pump that says only licensed drivers are allowed to pump gas. I don't think there is a law about how old you have to be to pay for it though. If I send my kids in, they are usually allowed to buy something for themselves, so maybe if you look at it as extra revenue, that will make you feel better about it. If the child cannot count or whatever is causing these issues, can you use the speaker at the pump to ask the parent to come in? That might make the parent more aware of the difficulties that a cashier has dealing with someone too young to make purchases. Good Luck!
Are you in the U.S.? I've never heard of this law. Children pay for gasoline all the time.
Drivers have to be 16 to drive. The gas station may refuse service.
They can use a can , then there is no lower or upper age limit. Lawnmowers fill up on gas for example and kids as young as 10 or so can cut grass. 80 yr old can drive a car and fill up gas. Frankly, they are more dangerous than the kids.
I don't think it's illegal to buy it...but I think it's illegal to dispense it.
Yes
at 16 you can ride a motor cycle so who buys the fuel

What is the legal age to move out on your on in the state of New Jersey?
I know that 18 is the age of majority and that there currently are no emancipation laws, but I want to know is there any legal way to get around it.
Answer:
The only legal way is to enlist in the military, but even this has to be done with parental/guardian consent. And, if you are discharged before the age of 18, guardianship is returned to your parents. In New Jersey, you can only get guardianship taken off your parents/guardians by enlistment in the military or being put under state custody. Either way,you can not move out on your own until the age of 18. You could attempt to move out, but if your parents contest it, through the police or courts, you will be returned to their custody. Even if your parents did allow this, if a state administrative agency found out, they could lose custody of you, temporarily or permanently, and you would be turned over to the state. There are not too many property owners who would be willing or legally able to rent to a minor, because a minor cannot be legally held to a contract. Unless this is a case of your personal welfare, there is not much you can do, but wait until you are legally able to live on your own.
Of course, just do it.
I belive that the age is 18 in the wonderful state of NJ. I know a girl I went to high school with got her parents to give up parental rights or something but she could have just been lying.
18
not that i know of. being 18 makes you an adult that makes decesions on your own. you then will be responsible for all of your actions and be held accountable such that nobody but you will take credit for. whether it is good or bad. moving is a good thing if it is going to help you and not harm or make people worry about you.
good luck!!
If your situation is desperate, you might consider just moving out without regard to the 'legal' aspects. However, I think that you need to consider everything involved, like where will you live? Are you going to be putting someone else in legal jeopardy if they take you in, how are you going to provide for your needs, food is not free, neither are clothes, transportation, or a lot of other things we tend to take for granted.
Good Luck and God Bless you...
You can move out whenever you want to really. I know a set of 15 year old twins.. One got knocked up with twins.. She moved out. The other twin got knocked up. She moved out. They live together and are doing fine.
If you can provide for yourself then do it!
I would contact a local rental agency and ask them what is the age limit that they allow to sign a lease. I know 18 is considered legal but when I was younger, I moved out at the age of 17 and rented my first apartment. This was many many years ago and I never considered any legal aspect to it. I merely had a job and was able to provide proof of ability to make the rent according to their criteria. Back then I recall that I had to have enough income that my rent would not take more than 45% of my gross. Later, whne i rented with roommates we each had to sign and acknowledge that if any of us could not make our share of the rent that each of us understood that we were individualy responsible for the full rent due on our own which just meant that I could not walk in and pay my share of the rent and think all was good. I woould still be subject to eviction for non payment of rent should my roommates not be able to come up with there share. I think contacting a local rental agency would provide you with the information you need
Answer:
The only legal way is to enlist in the military, but even this has to be done with parental/guardian consent. And, if you are discharged before the age of 18, guardianship is returned to your parents. In New Jersey, you can only get guardianship taken off your parents/guardians by enlistment in the military or being put under state custody. Either way,you can not move out on your own until the age of 18. You could attempt to move out, but if your parents contest it, through the police or courts, you will be returned to their custody. Even if your parents did allow this, if a state administrative agency found out, they could lose custody of you, temporarily or permanently, and you would be turned over to the state. There are not too many property owners who would be willing or legally able to rent to a minor, because a minor cannot be legally held to a contract. Unless this is a case of your personal welfare, there is not much you can do, but wait until you are legally able to live on your own.
Of course, just do it.
I belive that the age is 18 in the wonderful state of NJ. I know a girl I went to high school with got her parents to give up parental rights or something but she could have just been lying.

What is the legal age to leave a child home alone at midnight?
I have searched the web and found plenty of sites stating that there is no legal age to leave a child home alone it depends on the child. But what about at night? My boyfriends ex-wife left their 13 yr. old son home alone from 1 in the afternoon until after midnight. Is this illegal? He called the police and they came out to talk with her and dfcs is looking into it. Any info or websites regarding this would be helpful. Thanks.
Answer:
Mind your own business.
Your boyfriend should know better than tell you his problems with his ex.
Forget it and either forget him or tell him to shut up.

What is the legal age to be heard in front of judge In Oregon?
for kids to be heard in court . Like if they wan't to take something to court I need to know how old they have to be to be heard in court in oregon!
Answer:
If you're talking about going before a judge to tell the judge what they want to do with visitation to their other parent, they can talk to a judge at any time. However, the judge doesn't have to follow their wishes. The older the child is and the more convincing the argument, the more likely they are to be considered seriously. But in Oregon there is a very strong sentiment that it is in the child's best interest to visit with both parents on a regular basis, regardless of what kind of a situations they are exposed to. The court (IMO) seems to think that seeing and knowing both parents is paramount - very little else is more more important - except a physical danger to the child. Mental danger is much harder to prove.
Hire a lawyer and find out.
However, 18 typically. Minors generally have to sue through their parents as natural guardians or court appointed guardians ad litem.
Any age. They would need a lawyer to represent their interests.

What is the legal age in maryland when kids can be left home alone?
Answer:
Please don't listen to that other idiot that responded. I live in Maryland and there is no age limit. The child has to know how to use the phone and call 911 and their parent. You know your child, but please be careful because so much can go wrong.
Why? are you an unfit mother? shouldnt have had them eh? people should have to have pets first to see if there fit to be parents or if they should just be SHOT...
For a backward corrupt state like MD, I'd say around 31.
**Unlike the person that replyed to this( insted of photo a small photo of bike so we could not tell it's a fake bike ) i will give u an answer, 17 on the books, all persons under this age could and in most cases are considered mimers. I would think if kids were brought up right they could be left alone much earler then that.
