Is possession of cigarettes in the state of california allowed for 16 year olds?

I heard from someone that they hear that, and didn't really believe it, but when she was 16, a cop talk to her and she had a pack of camels apparent clearly visible. She didn't take them taken away. Did the cop just miss it (or look right through it), or is it actually to possess cigarettes at this age?
Answers: California Penal Code part 308, subdivision (b) provides:
“Every person lower than the age of 18 years who purchases, receives, or possesses any tobacco, cigarette, or cigarette papers, or any other preparation of tobacco, or any other instrument or paraphernalia that is to say designed for the smoking of tobacco, products prepared from tobacco, or any controlled substance shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of seventy-five dollars ($75) or 30 hours of community service work.”

Company sends two items when only ordered one?

I bought an item (large furniture item) of ebay and remunerated for it and it was deliver around a month ago.
Now I got emails wise saying they going to deliver the same item this week. So I will close up with two of them but own only rewarded for one.

I know the honest answer is to ring them and cancel the transfer, the "naughty" answer is to say nought and look to make money.

But what is the LEGAL answer please? I'm contained by the UK and have be reading about "Unsolicited merchandise act" but I am not sure if this is relevant? I don't think they are sending me the item to try and generate me pay for something I don't want (so not unsolicitied) I merely think it is a earnest mistake?

Is it true that if I notify them of the error they then own one month to collect the item then it is rightfully mine?
or if I don't tell them and they don't contact me contained by three months the item is legally mine?
Answers: IT will be mugging if you accept the transfer. the item is not unsolicited, it is being deliver in error.If you adopt deliveryin the full knowledge that the stuff have already be supplied then oyu sign for the stock you have obtain the goods by ruse, because you are aware at the time of delivery the products are not lawfully yours.
if this is surrounded by fact the suitcase you do not have any rights to save the goods below any circumstances. full title will never pass to you surrounded by law because you own committed a illegal deed to obtain them contained by the first place

THIS IS THE LEGAL ANSWER
TO COLIN M YOU FORGET THE ITEMS ARE NOT UNSOLICITED GOODS THET ARE BEING DELIVERED IN ERROR AND THE BUYER IS AWARE THE GOODS ARE ARRIVING SO YOUR ANSWER DOES NOT APPLY
If you contact them and explain the situation, then if they choose to eliminate to acknowledge the fact they enjoy sent you two items, then you are contained by the clear.

I had lb5000 refund as part of a loan 'overpayment', I spent give or take a few 2 weeks trying to convince the loan company that I had already rewarded off the loan, I checked next to my Bank and everything, but they would not accept that they be wrong...! My bank advise me that there be nothing I could do in the order of it, and just preserve the money. Let's face it it's not close to you don't notice and extra lb5000. you know yourself that you any are due that kind of money or not..!!

So I be quite elated...!

So long as you contact the company, it's their responsibility to resolve the problem, if they choose not to do so then the products are yours.
You should tell them at point of nativity.

If they insist you take it, give an account the company they have one month to collect it or you will dispose of it as you see fit.

If they don't collect it - it is yours.

Anything else on the circumstances you state would be forbidden (Theft)
It is widely thought that if you receive unsolicited goods which are address to you, followed by a demand for settlement for the goods, you are required to return the commodities or make them available to be collected.
This is not the suitcase. The law be changed from 1 November 2000. Prior to that time, you were required to endow with notice to the sender, requiring them to collect the commodities within 30 days, or otherwise to skulk for 6 months, before anyone able to treat the commodities as your own property. As the law stands immediately, you have no must to return unsolicited items or to pay for them and can treat them as your property on getting. Under the Unconditional Goods and Services Act 1971, as amended, it is an offence for anyone to transport unsolicited goods and after to demand donation for them, or to demand gift for an unsolicited entry in a trade directory.

If you receive merchandise you did not order, followed by a emergency for payment for them, you should consider reporting the sender to your local Trading Standards Officer. If the supplier persist in demanding wage, a solicitor’s letter repeatedly proves very efficient.
legally, you cannot benefit from someone Else's mistake.

inform them of their error, if it still arrives inform them that it have and if they don't collect it within 28 days, you will consider it a offering.
To you its one little error, but why do you think everything costs so much?, because race are not honest when mistakes are made. Other customers with that company will enjoy to pay for your second piece of furniture indirectly, as do customers of shops where on earth theft is a problem.
I am not maxim i am whiter than white, just fine art the bigger picture. As another person said, if you enjoy no conscience then turn for it but...!
this is black and white and you know it. you have vanished evidence to prove such.

and besides that, where the hell are your morals?
Phone them and notify them. I reckon most eBay sellers are small businesses and deliver an expensive item twice could put them at a loss. It could even be the difference between being competent to meet a wage bill. Would you want that on your conscience?

Really it is approaching stealing because you are fully aware that you have already have the item and it will cause you profusely less hassle than if they realise their mistake. And I am no expert but this is not unsolicited stock, this is a genuine mistake.

I hear on the radio last week give or take a few a lady who have lb125,000 put into her bank article in error. She blew the lot. When the mound realised they came wager on for their money, she was found guily of raid. This sounds like matching sort of thing to me.

Sorry if I nouns preachy but honesty is always the best policy IMHO.

You will be required to reimburse for the item if you keep it. At no cost to you, you can reject the shipment and fashion the shipper return it.

NO If you accept distribution and do not refuse nativity, you have to foot for it.

Old crimanal cases from 2000 &2001?

After 6-7 years The Miami-Dade clerk of courts has established to send me 2 parcels stating that I have unpaid court costs to bring care of. As of 12/02/02 I enjoy been married and own stayed out of trouble and held the same livelihood for that same period of time. Before that I be homeless for 3 yrs and have spent in the region of 2 years (on & off) in secure unit. My question is that, I dont get the drift, I figured I rewarded my debt to society for driving on a suspended license,petit theft and opulent theft for stealing some merchandise from a department store to support drug addiction at the time. I thought adjectives that was at the back me!
Now it seems to be stern to haunt me, not to mention I still expect to hear from the clerk of courts almost 20 more times since I was arrested fairly a few times over that period surrounded by my life (which thank God is over) and will probably drive me to put in prison or homelessness again as I can hardly reward my bills as it is.
Can anyone help near this little problem?
Answers: I am sorry to hear about your troubles. It sounds as if the court cost should hold been taken support of by time served. Unfortunatly it does sound as if you should consult a attorney, although it may be less expensive to simply receive a payment plan next to the court clerk. Good Luck

Girls scouts hostile harrasment?

Hello!

We have a Hostile Harrasment conflict from a parent to a volunteer(Junior leader). Which procedure, policy, resolution we should follow contained by in charge to stop this behavior? We need a resolution as soon as posible.

Thanks!
Answers: First article, document everything. What the hostile parent did, what (s)he said, to whom and when. Write it down as soon after the fact as possible.

If possible, hold the leader communicate next to the hostile parent via email rather than conversations. Save and print out her/his responses.

Otherwise it degenerate into she said /(s)he said. But the notes and the emails can be endorsed evidence.

Go back to your troop coordinator. Tell her that doing nought is not acceptable, you call for relief. If that doesn't work, help yourself to it to your local Neighborhood /Service Unit manager. Then on to rewarded council members if needed. Document this, too.

Our council have people trained contained by mediation for a while, I don't know if the new "streamlined" (ie much smaller) council have them - but you might ask.

Is there any route of keeping the hostile parent away from the leader? Telling her/him (s)he is surplus at events, and meetings, etc. I be a sign of, they want us to be for "Every Girl, Everywhere" but that doesn't mean every awful parent.

I don't know how desperate it is, but if the leader feel threatened, maybe she can grasp a restraining order. Again, lots of documentation roughly the behavior will help beside that.

It sounds like an awful situation, best wishes for a resolution.
I would get hold of your Neighborhood Chair involved (if you have one). They can serve as honest mediators surrounded by these kinds of situations.

Do you find it ironic that with the Patriot Act contained by place, the Watergate scandal would not have be illegal?

Answers: It would enjoy been more difficult to prove the bleak faith use of such measures as are authorized by the so-called Patriot Act, but after the difficulty may or may not have be overcome. It's an interesting question to speculate on the possible attitudes of the courts.

There is a body of thought which holds that the innocent never hold anything to hide. However, even a mere cursory analysis of our own history demonstrates how untrue such a hypothesis actually is within real enthusiasm. Whenever this theory is put forth, the focus usually works its passageway down to the creation and reasons for the 4th and 5th amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The 5th amendment, for instance, contains a provision which prohibits forcing any individual to be a witness against himself (or herself) within a criminal proceeding against them. Ergo, if someone is innocent, then they must not own any reason to prohibit to speak by way of testimonial evidence. There is an association to this assertion that is usually vanished floating in the heavens; which is to say or indicate that this provision of the 5th amendment really just protects criminals.

However, close to the support offered for the draconian provisions of the Patriot Act, this too is a very childish conclusion that ignore the real reason for that part of the 5th amendment. That provision be adopted within order to forever finale the Courts of Starchamber, which were recognized (or infamous) for the use of physical torture in direct to extract confessions from individuals who were put on trial. In those few words of the 5th amendment are the argument for an accusatorial system of justice, a bit than an inquisitorial system that is adjectives to totalitarian states, and it is viewed by our courts as the hallmark of our republic.

The unofficial search and requisition sections of the 4th amendment, along next to its stated recognition of "The right of the culture to be secure within their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable search and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable explanation, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be search, and the persons or things to be seized", be intended to produce a wall through which no government agent or entity could efficiently traverse with impunity. Of course, in attendance is considerable difference between constitutional intent and what is experienced in tangible life surrounded by contemporary america. The basis for this amendment be given birth by one James Otis who valiantly argued against the much hated "Writs of Assistance" within 1760. The Writs of Assistance gave customs official the authority to search anywhere they wish at any time and allowed them to basically break contained by to any residence or warehouse in query of goods that might be tax.

Otis argued so brilliantly against the writs of assistance in a nearly five-hour oration until that time a packed audience contained by the Old State House in Boston that John Adams next claimed: "The child independence be then and at hand born,[for] every man of an immense crowded audience appeared to me to go away as I did, all set to take arms against writs of assistance."

Those rights, regularly scoffed at by some who consider them as shields for use by criminals, are among the most precious enumerated within the first 10 amendments to the Constitution and do not deserve to be viewed as vehicle and tools of criminal behavior. Those men who wrote the U.S. Constitution were entirely aware that those rights might own the effect of temporarily shielding some people who be guilty of wrongdoing, but they recognized the far greater danger that the amendments were designed to protect against.
I remember Watergate. We be also not at war near a bunch of crazies who followed us home trying to kill us. The Viet Cong did not hold any home-grown sleeper cells here, any.

I was sold a sports book by a friend which give all the score till the end of the 21st century. Well.?

Has anyone here got divorce beside do it yourself Filling out forms and filing?

Has anyone here get divorce with do it yourself Filling out forms and file? Noncontested without children contained by Georgia? I need to but own 4 questions I requirement to be clear on to not waist money as I can't afford attorny and Clerks office not authorize to do so?Please sustain as I need to do this to go and get out quick. littledebbiedodd@YAH00.com or dpowers301@charter.network
Answers: My son was married for going on for two years. His divorce did not involve children or a difficult property division so, yes, he was competent to answer questions on a commercial network site and print all of the completed forms here and hold them executed, in front of a notary, by him and his now-ex wife. The papers be filed and he be the only one to show up. The decide asked him if the marriage be genuinely unrepairable. He answered "yes" and that be it. The judge granted the divorce act and the whole piece took less than 60 second.

You've been married 14 years, so you want to speak with your spouse first and attentively go over a property division to see if there's going to be agreement. If not, afterwards an attorney is probably going to be required, as your spouse will probably recognize the insufficiency of agreement and also seek an attorney's warning. If you can do it online, then within are plenty of places you can find through which the papers can be prepared. Try doing a Google search on the residence: "do it yourself divorce". The prices start at $10 for a basic utensils and go up from within based upon the customization i.e. done for your particular set of circumstances.
I used the forms to buy a divorce and the way I have a handle on it if you have adjectives property divided and no kids and neither one of you are asking for spousal support then you do not own to attach any more forms. If you are asking for alimony you will need another form.

Why won't people confer up the personal checks and get next to the plastic?

I hate standing within line aft some idiot who is not only writing a check but wait until the last minute to plague it out.The only party I know who has checks is a 81 year out-of-date lady and she also wait until the last minute to plague it out and have her I.D arranged then she cries when inhabitants are huffing and puffing behind her. Why oh why aren't personal checks illicit
Answers: At 81 years old, they deserve for a time extra time. Patience, RUSHING Rusty, patience. Your afternoon to move slow is coming. Let's hope by then you bring back the picture! LOL
Well, business people want to write personal checks. Checks are accepted by the IRS as well brought-up documentation, credit card statements are not.

Besides, a lot of elderly relatives have a tough time getting used to using electronic signature entry equipment. My guess is the lcd screen are hard to read and the buttons are intricate to press.
Look, I agree - it sucks to be in procession behind someone simply to see them "whip" out a checkbook.

But, did it ever occur to you that they may be contained by so much credit card debt that they cannot use their cards anymore?

If that's not it, try to be a decent human anyone...perhaps an 81 year older isn't comfortable charging everything. Many seniors are on a very fixed income, and their checkbook register may back them keep to that. Don't regard as being - move isles if it bothers you THAT much.

How up to date do you thin YOU'LL be at 81?
I don't know, i guess it something weak people do.

Almost everyone i know uses plastic. The with the sole purpose person i know who still uses checks is my grandmother.
Some race can better manage their money when they solitary spend what they have. Plastic might compel them to spend more than what they can if truth be told afford.

And even if they had a debit card, they want the protection of knowing that they don't have a card that they can slickly lose and someone else can just use short a problem.
Habit. The old folks know they work and they are comfortable.

When you are 81, you probably won't be using the cranial shoot the youngsters do, and they'll be bitching about how long you purloin using your credit card.
You need to achieve out more if you only know one entity that uses checks.
I use checks, ATM debit cards, cash, and credit cards.my choice of when and where on earth.
If you don't like human being behind someone surrounded by line using checks, exchange lines..
better yet, grow up and shut up! The world doesn't revolve around you or your impatience
