Is stealing your neighbor's christmas display characters a punishable offense?

a buddy of mine gaffeled a christmas-light reindeer from a neighbor's front lawn surrounded by a drunken sponaneous moment, but then settled it would be best to return the reindeer before he be found out. what do you think- prank or punishable crime?
Answers: You saw me????.Do I personally know you.
Yes, it is petty mugging.

Very, VERY petty!

I would think prank a bit than crime, but if someone wanted to clog up the courts, they could press charges.
Technically - breaking and entering is theft, whether you want to nickname it a prank or not.

I would suggest returning it because what moron wants to own "stole a reindeer" as the reason he doesn't seize a job down the queue.
If he got caught, after he would be at the mercy of the system, maybe within the xmas spirit the owner would let him run if he returned it, maybe not.

> gaffeled

explicitly the most colorful excellent word I have ever see here on YA! maybe I am getting older for not knowing, but I like it! appreciation!
Yes, if charges are filed. Since it be returned it would probably be charged as something akin to (if your state has this type of criminal offense) unauthorized use of property.

The chief question is, who would know going on for it if it was returned ?
he can stir to jail for criminal trespass, destruction of private property, raid in excess of., stealing...within are pobably a few more than I can remember...
Since this is a neighbor why does he not go to the door beside a bottle of the neighbors favorite booze and toast the cleaver prank
Stealing is stealing. If he returned it, and it wasn't damaged, or the people's display wasn't dog-eared, they probably wouldn't press charges.

I'm adding this contained by case anyone else on here is interested contained by stealing Christmas ornaments:

Not long ago an elderly man was on local communication where I live. He be in his 80's, and his daughter, who have been surrounded by her 60's, had died concluding Summer. She had given him a sleigh for his meadow before she died, and this man be so upset that someone had taken this offering from his daughter.

Sometimes what looks like only just one more Christmas trimming isn't.

Besides, people work thorny to put up their displays because they think its a nice piece to contribute to the neighborhood's Christmas "atmosphere".

End of lecture. (Again, not intended for you or your friend but for anyone else on here who doesn't realize how crummy it is to ruin someone's display.)
Hey Einstien! You answered your own interview..." is stealing.

Mommy kissing Santa Yes, but someone's mom groping Santa?

I know the song says " I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" but how do you have a sneaking suspicion that children felt when they saw that somebody's mommy be groping Sana.

I know the lady is surrounded by her 60's, but she could still be someone's mom.
Answers: Children learn by example. The woman should own known better. Unfortunately, plentiful adults set a very poor example for kids, but expect them to grow up "knowing better".
Probably some little boy saw that going on and became a womanizer adjectives the rest of his life, decide that if Santa could do it, so could he. When he grew old, he sit down and wrote a song that showed his contempt for all promiscuous women, entitled "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer!"

Voting for Hillary are you??

Is there really a Rape Shield Law?

I saw it mentioned within a Law & Order: SVU episode...
Im just wondering if it's a actual canon or not.
Answers: Yes. Federal Rule of Evidence 412. And every state has a comparable one.

Intent is what others influence...can't bring in folks prior sexual conduct to disprove a sexual assault. This is controversial law but have worked fairly okay.

Used to be you can prove that a woman was unchaste (a "ho") so she could not own been raped. This cause plenty miscarriages of justice as prio sexual reputation have nothing to do near being raped (thus, not relevant). Even a hooker or a effortless girl can be raped (that is: consensually sleeping with 30 guys doesn't tight-fisted guy 31 had consent.)

There are some ways of bringing up a person's prior sexual act that are not covered by the law. For example, you can bring up a prior sexual feat if it is evidence that someone else is the source of semen (especially where another's DNA is found surrounded by the rape kit) or someone else is the source of injury.

The accused can bring up his sexual historic with the accuser to prove consent (that is, we've have sex in a similar style before...so she consented, or I believed she consented).

Also, you can bring up prior sexual act if the constitution requires it. This is a broad concept. An example is where a girl have made prior sexual assault allegations and then recant them. Or you can prove that your only bringing up a prior sexual work because there is an issue next to her credibility. This is tough to do.

Again, it's a controversial law, but have done a lot to promote the ability of victim's to testify despite a fearfulness that their private lives will be brought up in court
Yes in attendance is...check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_shield...

NOUN: A law that prohibits the defense contained by a rape case from cross-examination about the plaintiff's prior sexual conduct.

What are rape shield laws?

Rape shield law are statutes or court rules that limit the introduction of evidence more or less a victim's sexual history, reputation or past conduct. Every state and theDistrict of Columbia have a rape shield law that applies within criminal cases; only a few extend such law to civil cases. Many of these laws be adopted contained by the 1970s to combat the practice of discrediting victims by introducing irrelevant information about their chastity.

Shady landlord keep security deposit...?

I enjoy had problems next to this guy from the start, but the only article I want is my security deposit fund. I paid $550 (the same amount as my monthly rent) and within the lease it states $200 will be kept for carpet cleaning. (Which is daft, only 2 rooms be carpeted, the rest were tile. But anything.) My last date near was 10/31/07. Today is 12/19/07. I hold called twice and he have told me twice he would get it to me. I sent a certified note on the 10th requesting contact from him within 3 days on why he is not going to hand over it to me, or a check within 10 days. He have until the 21st and then I'm taking him to small claims court. Any guidance? I have my cancelled check, I video-taped the apartment the sunshine I left near a current newspaper within every room, and I have witnesses that will testify in the region of existing damage when I moved surrounded by and improvements I made while I was at hand. I also have a cop who is going to relieve me prepare my trial. Any advice is appreciated.
Answers: check nolo.com for great do-it-yourself renter decree books - often surrounded by bog box bookstores and local libraries.

you didn't say the state, but here surrounded by CA landlord have 21 days from moveout to return the money or provide a detailed accounting of the repairs, else is subject to 3x penalty IIRC, even if repairs be done.

you will probably win in court, might want to lift the enforceability of the carpet clause as long as you are nearby, nothing to lose at that point, everything to gain, especially if you achieve a 3x judgment (as I did once surrounded by Maryland!)
Well, the deposit is lower than customary. Normally, they want the 1st & last month's rent, plus deposit deposit, which is often one month's rent.

If you consider he has done this beside others, or does it frequently, you might want to contact your state's Attorney General with the complaint.

Otherwise, small claims is probably your answer.

** Note: This is a common discussion of the subject matter of your request for information and not legal counsel. Local laws or your specific situation may change the standard rules. For a specific answer to your question you should consult officially recognized counsel with whom you can discuss adjectives the facts of your case. **
Its thoroughly tough to get financial guarantee "deposit" money back. They name it a deposit, but it is more like a move-in excise.

Your former landlord will come up beside all sorts of reason why you don't deserve the remaining sum and I doubt you will be very successful contained by small claims court.

I've had a previous apt. head take my entire deposit stating that I ruined the hearth rug (which I screwed it up pretty badly, admittedly) however when I visit the same apartment going on for a year later (a friend have moved in it), matching carpet be still in place and have been really poorly cleaned.

I really didn't have any court recourse at that point.

My advice, look at the deposit as a move-in charge for now on, and don't spend a second trying to verbs the place on your way out.
Sounds approaching you are off to a honourable start for court.
1. Make sure you complete and file adjectives paperwork (particularly the summons that goes to the landlord) completely and properly.
2. Stick to the facts. The decide does not care why you entail the money, he only care if you are entitled to the money.
3. Look up the state law in the region of the time frame a landlord have to return the deposit and what happens if it is not returned or accounted for contained by the proper time. In some states you would get it put a bet on regardless of the condition of the unit if the hotelier fails to distribute the notice in the time limit.
4. Become one near your lease. Know the provisions that affect the deposit.
5. I would not tell the find you fell $200 for carpet cleaning is unreasonable. The time to bring up that as an issue be at move in, not move out.
6. If you are going to show the cartridge as evidence, make sure the courtroom will hold a VCR to show the tape or generate arrangements to bring one.
Don't know what state you live in, but you DO enjoy rights.
You seem to be doing the right things but a call for to you state's Atty.Generals Office (depending on where you live) can sometimes be deeply helpful. DOITYOURSELF.COM have a section on surety deposit disputes.
Make sure to keep a written copy of adjectives communications.
Small claims can keep some of the slimy landlords at creek.GOOD LUCK
Sounds like you really own your act together. Good luck!

Is 16 y.o. Jamie Lynne Spears 19 y.o. boyfriend open to criminal charges?

Does 19 and 16 go down under statuatory rape?
Answers: n accordance beside the FBI definition, statutory rape is characterized as non-forcible sexual intercourse with a character who is younger than the statutory age of consent. The actual ages for these laws change greatly from state-to-state, as do the punishments for offenders. Many states do not use the actual residence "statutory rape," simply calling it rape or unlawful sexual penetration among a range of other titles. These laws from time to time apply only to intercourse, but a bit to any type of sexual contact. Dating someone without sexual contact cannot be considered a form of statutory rape, and is almost never bent. ...This age varies from 14-18 surrounded by all states within the USA with over partially the states adopting the age of “16” as the legitimate age of consent. ...
depends on the state.

don't know when her birthday is, but she may have be 15 and he may have be 18 or 19.
Yes,,,,But Only for Poor People..


Since he is Rich they will just tolerate it slide...
Wow!! Who cares! Seriously...nearby are so many pregnant 16 year olds (teenagers). The lone thing that make poor Jamie Lynn Spears stand out is that she's famous and oh no! Britney Spears' lil' sister. You know what, she can hold good morals and still achieve pregnant...the girl has money and unlike various teenagers, she's got the manner and the money to take meticulousness of this child.

Why are parents concerned about what she's guideline their daughters that watch her shows? Jamie isn't and shouldn't be education your children anything, the parents of these children need to be law and making their kids aware of the tremendous responsibility it is to become sexually active.

It's Jamie's personal go, what she does in her energy shouldn't be anyone's business but hers. It's so sad and I preference people would verbs about themselves a bit than what other people are doing.
According to Louisiana decree (I believe that is the proper jurisdiction) it states that this incident is:

A. Felony carnal erudition of a juvenile is committed when:

(1) A person who is nineteen years of age or elder has sexual intercourse, near consent, with a personality who is twelve years of age or older but smaller number than seventeen years of age, when the victim is not the spouse of the wrongdoer.
Yes he is.

In Louisiana, where they live, sex between a character 19 or older and a individual between 12 and 17 years old is call "Felony carnal knowledge of a Juvenile", and is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 and/or up to ten years surrounded by prison, plus sex offender registration.

If the DA decide to charge him, he's in DEEP do-do.

Can one rent out a post box/locker for storing mail and rogue documents?

I need to know if that facility is available surrounded by Hyderabad,with the local GPO?I know this is within in mumbai.I'm going out of station.
Answers: Get a not dangerous deposit box at the bank. They are immensely inexpensive. Less than a PO Box. I pay $22/year for mine.
The problem w. the post box is plentiful people will enjoy access to the box. If your box gets too full next they will remove the mail and store it within a box somewhere until you show up and ask for it. So it is even less out of harm`s way.

Get a safety deposit box as it will in fact turn out cheaper than a post office box.

What is the defenition of a GYPSY CABDRIVER?

Wyclef Jean is on Tyra today,and was discussion about working as a GYPSY CABDRIVER contained by the past.
What is really a GYPSY CABDRIVER?
Answers: Basically an unlicensed coup for hire.

Officially licensed taxis will hold a license/permit that permits them to transport passengers for hire, commonly called a medallion (which may or may not be attached to the outside of the vehicle). The cost of these medallion is often relatively high because typically surrounded by many cities the number of them issued is set such that taxis will own enough business to walk around - and they're often traded/exchanged on a lower market for a totally high price. Most black cab drivers don't own their cabs, but often will rent them out from the owner of the medallion on a per morning basis. They enjoy to pay for their own operating expenses, including fuel, and near today's fuel prices, they don't net really much at the end of the year.

The high nouns of entry to driving official cabs, combined beside the situation of some communities that are underserved by official taxi, may give rise to gypsy cabdrivers - who are operating in need an official certification. Fares are negotiated between rider and driver.

Nandigram.WB and Posco(Orissa) ...Nandigram abandoned...same?

It is individual said by vested interests repeatedly that Nandigram and Posco(Orissa) are same issues. Is it right ? The all popular Govt within WB had forthwith announced that Nandigram Chemical Hub is cast off... yet the "conspirator" did not stop in attendance... stretched the issue for eleven months long... evicted the villagers who wanted the Hub simply for their political faith (yes, they belong to the ruling bash of the state)...brought unending misery /harrassment !! May it be compared near Posco ? The biased media and the intelluctual at the back are misleading us !! But what was/is pricking them ? 1. The ruling and major get-together in WB are the communists 2. This knees-up is voted back time and again 3. They are surrounded by "growth path".. are trying to extend their success contained by agriculture to new industries as the burden on environment and un-employment is increasing 3. International and national capital is coming to the state at the lingo of the Govt.(read : people) 4. Already it is the fourth in IT destination..?
Answers: Your grill isn't clear as to what exactly you want to know. At the beginning you hold asked whether Nandigram and Posco are comparable issues. But midway you veer around to ask as to why the "conspirator" is target West Bengal by making an issue out of Nandigram.
I believe that Nandigram and Posco, though located in two different states, are comparable issues. In both instances, populace rely on tracts of land which serve both as their homes and source of living. Eviction from their homes and mortal displaced from their livelihood viz. agriculture, in instruct to make bearing for giant industries are also common to both. So both are essentially human problems inflicted on some of the poorest relations in society by insensitive, barbric and possibly corrupt government.
Coming to the second part of your request for information, the West Bengal media have time and again stood behind CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharya's bold industrialisation plans. Bhattacharya's delirium of making West Bengal a prominent IT destination has be highlighted and portrayed by the media as a positive move and a verbs break away from two decades of successful Marxist effort to verbs West Bengal's industrial base. Even on the issue of Nandigram, the medium has be divided, with one screened-off area, however small shouting for Bhattacharya, the West Bengal government and the CPI(M).
The intellectuals too have been next to a culture loving CM, till Nandigram brought about a modification of thinking. Even then, a handful of them enjoy stuck to Bhattacharya.
Since the above two facts are well established, it is an exercise surrounded by futility to find scape goats in the "biased medium and intellectuals".
The people of the state want peace, progress and prosperity and don't comfort whether the same come from the Communists or others. For over two decades, the Communists have been the antithesis of adjectives the afore stated demands of the people.
They enjoy come to power time and again through questionable methods and through the help of divided doubt. However the Communists' electoral successes through the most devious means are far too okay known to start an argument.
The "growth path" or more appropriately a break from the fondness Communist activity of more than two decades of sending industries into closure and robbing workers from their livelihood, be welcomed by one and adjectives, media and intellectuals included. The protest have been against the usurping of fertile agricultural lands for industries. Wherever industries have be on non-agricultural or fallow territory, like Salboni or surrounded by Purulia, there own been no protests. The protests hold also come in the get up of the most barbaric killing and rape of villagers within Singur and Nandigram by police and armed Communist cadres.
The outside capital is coming to West Bengal at the wishes of the capitalist and investors. You can not be so ridiculously naive as to believe that capitalist will invest only according to the people's wishes next to scant regard to their own profits. If everything be being done according to people's wishes, please explain the protests from the relations of Singur and Nandigram.
While it is a definitely a gauge of achievement to be fourth among the Indian IT hubs, it is also an opportunity to infer. If Bangalore is first, it was pretty non-descript when the IT revolution took bad from there. Many I Technologists from West Bengal be amongst the thousands of others who have turned Bangalore into number one. And at that time the Communists be shunning computers, which they have in a minute embraced next to open arms.
Finally, if the medium and the intelligentsia have consistently supported the positive moves made by the WB organization while coming down on the negatives, is it sound in labelling them as conspirators for the latter? Any edict or judgement that goes against the Communist fte is questioned as anyone motivated. Even the Governor and High Court judges are not spared from villification. The protests by the medium and the intellectuals only highlighted the adjectives people's outrage at the brutality in Singur and Nandigram. If both have stayed silent at this hour of crisis, it would have conveyed that they have fossilised consciences with no power to devise independently. If they had sided next to the Communists, it would have shown that they have sold their souls to the Communists. Thanks to their protest and activism, the people still hold hope that conscientious people and right thinking are still alive - two things Communists detest most.
Your cross-question requires political mind to reply. Some one answer just the reverse, some go off you in between and most of the replier may put you into binding confusion. Its all political hobby.

How long before speeding citations expire contained by Louisiana? What about Texas?

I get one speeding citation in Louisiana 3 and a partially years ago, and another in Louisiana 2 and a partially years ago, however I am a Texas resident. When will they be off of my driving dictation (or are they on it to begin with)?
Answers: Most plausible your drivers license has be suspended. Both states are members of the Drivers License Agreement. Louisiana reported the citations to the Texas DMV.
If the citations be paid for, afterwards you have at lowest possible 5 years to go. Check near your local DMV for an exact answer.
good luck renewing your drivers license when it comes due!

and don't seize stopped again - there might be a warrant out for you.

if I misunderstood and you did settle them at the time, then they will stay on your license for 7-10 years contained by most places I think. and yes, states know what happen where you used to live, as does your insurance company.
Okay these population are idiots. Um i am assuming you took proper care and took deterrent driving. If you did it's off spell.

if you paid for it... In the state of texas it take 3 years for it to come off of your story. I dont know about La. You call for to Call them and find out. But 2 tickets that far apart and that infrequent b/w 2 states is not going to get your license suspended.
It sounds close to you paid the tickets and lately want to know how long they will be on your record.

According to: http://www.dmv.org/la-louisiana/driving-...

"Your Louisiana driving text includes information regarding any calamity statements and traffic offenses on record, as economically as your driver's license status and/or commercial driver's license (CDL) status.Minor traffic violations are kept on transcription for three years and major traffic violation are on record for five years. All Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), Out-of-Service, and Vehicle Negligent Injury convictions are on transcript for 10 years."

Louisiana belongs to the multi-state "compact", which means violation in LA are reported to your home state and are surrounded by the national database until removed by LA.

However, you can't count of the records individual automatically expunged at the time mentioned above. The records may also remain on database with the pariah where on earth the violation occur.

If you need the violation to be off your transcript, contact the Louisiana DMV and the Clerk of Court for the appropriate parish to confirm the expungment happened, and to ask how it can be trained if the information is still on your record. You probably necessitate to hire an attorney - wait until the more recent ticket is 3 years mature so the attorney can handle both at like time.

Good luck!
