Law Questions and Answers
Why is it at 18 you can vote, drive, and die, but not drink?
It doesn't make any sense. Are they going to renovate the drinking age?Answers: A lot of states used to have an 18 year antediluvian drinking age until the 1980s. The reason it be changed is because MADD and the neo-prohibitionist zealots made the case surrounded by 1984 that too many empire under 21 obtain drunk and cause traffic accident. So the national minimum drinking age of 1984 was passed which stated if states do not put on a pedestal their drinking age to 21, they will loose 10% of their highway aid. However, now we know that the 21 year out-of-date age has simply shifted more death to older age catagories and needlessly criminlized adults 18-20. I agree near you that society has drawn the procession that at age 18 is the age of adulthood, and that the privledge of drinking should come near that. The only opening it will be changed would be if the national minimum drinking age act would be repealed. And politicians will not touch the issue until satisfactory young folks start voiting and making their voices hear for them to care.
Not true!
You can die at any age
*edit* - Seriously, I could better read raising the driving age to 21 and setting drinking 18
They did, they raise it to 21!!!
Some states use to be as low as 18.
It should all be 18, or adjectives 21.
It;s stupid that you can die for your country but not legally enjoy a drink.
Lol to Samm!
So you think 18 year olds are seasoned enough to drink and NOT drive?? Most 40 year olds aren't!
It be raised b/c of a big push by MADD. Mothers Against Drunk Driving..
they lobbied so much that if states refuse to raise the drinking age the federal political affairs was going to withold adjectives their federal highway money
Not in Quebec! Come and call on us sometime soon!
I don't know what place you're talking just about. I agree, this doesn't make any sense at adjectives.
One of the most enduring answers I've have to this question is that below the age of 21, most young adults' bodies enjoy not completely developed, so alcohol can effect them more permanently and more like lightning than an adult. Now, I'm not sure if within are studies to support or if it's just a nice thought.
My personal belief on it is that most people beneath 21 are not responsible enough to drink, especially beside a drivers' license. I have met exactly 3 society whom I have witnessed responsibly using alcohol beneath age 21, and many, oodles more who did not, some with toxic results.
However, within their own home as given by a allowed guardian, I don't see a problem with it. If another full-size gives an underaged individual alcohol, such as a friend's parent, or if it's in any other place besides their residence (such as within public or at another person's house), no-go.
I also think that if you are surrounded by the military, you should be allowed to drink. The way to enforce this would be to any require a military ID or only allow it on a military foundation. (I don't know much about a military ID, so I don't know whether it's easier or harder to ersatz than a regular ID.)
More likely, because of stupid those ruining it for the rest of us, instead of lowering the drinking age, they will probably raise the driving age.
I enjoy to quote "Dude" here:
"Because, when it comes to drinking, teens make the worst decision of all."
Ha ha ha. Teens can't construct good decision when it comes to drinking but they can make decision in who/how government should be run and the decision to exterminate people contained by at war. Ha ha ha ha. Love it!
They did lower it to 18 for a few years for that exact intention. What happened though be a lot of clueless large schoolers were competent to get their hand on alcohol right around the same time they could drive. This cause an instant huge increase in pubescent automobile accident death. They quickly realize that this was a impossible idea and returned the age to 21.
Frankly I surmise you are not responsible enough to be allowed to both legitimately drink and drive at the age of 18. Don't take it individually, 18 is still a really young age and lacks deeply of life experience. Personally, I judge they should lower the drinking age to 16 and raise the driving age to 21 (or at lowest 18) and make the driver license requirements long, rock-hard, and expensive. I just see it as requiring much more responsibility to drive than to drink.
You can, surrounded by certain states, or different countries, or next to a fake psyche
Do you think it's accurate or bad that they moved the Australian driving age up to 16 and 9 months?
I ponder it's bad.I in a minute have to be on my "Learner" plates for 1 year and do 125 hours of practice earlier i can drive alone.
I also have to hang about a year before i can even attain my L licence!
Answers: Yes I think its a great concept. It amazes me that the legal age is 18 even so we allow 16 yo to drive a car. I know you wont similar to my answer - but driving is a huge responsibility and effectively a car can be a toxic weapon. I also think within should be more driver training for young drivers.
You will probably appreciate my comments when you are elder but don't be in a hurry to grow up too soon.
Please drive undamagingly - respect the road rules and others on the road and feel before you win behind the controls.
Good Luck : )
Oh my gosh, what was the unproved age?
It must have be really young.
I don't close to getting all arranged to do something and then the statute changes it and I achieve disappointed. But I think that they usually own a good apology for it.
Frankly I think the official driving age should be even higher than that. I would read out 18 or 19. It doesn't matter what country. But, WHY did they opt on 16 and 9 MONTHS?!? That's pretty weird. Why didn't they basically make it 17?
Hi. I tutor High School in Los Angeles to teens who own been kicked out of their High Schools and may or not be on their opening to jail. So, spot my perspective.
In the USA 75% of the accidents that wipe out involve teenage drivers. Gee, do you expect that is because they do not know how to drive, or because they enjoy so many hormones going on that they can't see the road.
I love Australia and your sense of values. My first wife be from Melbourne and I spent many months in that. In a sense it is the America I grew up in, surrounded by the '50s. No offense, just feel that way to me as a company.
So..to your question, yes it is event. Otherwise you have a large probability of killing yourself.
Hell no!!! they should elevate it to 50 years old the infantile ones these days werent as responsible as 20 years ago, hell i used to drive semi-traillers when i be drunk but these kids these days are not responsible adequate to do that! Just the other day i read a daily article about a motor accident my God! what is the world coming too,they should angle the legal drinking age to at least possible 40 and let the 13 year olds blend the Army (i heard from Africa that children do brand good Soldiers)
Was it against the law what I of late did?
My doughter's friend left 2 big lots full of clothes ans stuff in my husband's coup¨¦, the other day I did groceries and have no place to put it because the trunc of the car is full of her stuff. I call her boyfriend, I spoke to my doughter, and no one does anything to remove her stuff from the coup¨¦. It's been here for a month. I just go and took all her stuff and threw it within the trash. The dump truck came and immediately it's gone. Was it wrong what I did or was I supposed to newly deal next to it. Was it against the law contained by my part?Answers: Why should it be against the regulation, you did called the boyfriend, you asked your doughter, it's not approaching you said nothing to no body. You be right, I would have done equal. It's your car and she did not asked you for any permition. You did right.
If she chooses to sue you, you will be found liable for compensating her for the plus of all the stuff you threw away.
When someone leaves their stuff next to you, it creates whats called a bailment.
If she have permission from someone next to authority over the car (which would include your daughter if she be driving it at the time) at the time to leave it within the car, afterwards it was call a voluntary bailment.
If she left it within there wihout anyone knowing, it's call an involuntary bailment.
Which it was affects the plane of care you're required to exercise contained by looking after it. In neither case, though, can you simply throw away someones property in need being liable.
Richard
Technically, might be against the ruling - though after giving a month's notice, one could claim that it appeared to enjoy been forsaken.
Practically speaking, a good purpose lesson on procrastination and its side effects.
Next time, DONATE THEM!!!!
jeez.
"I called her boyfriend," but
"not a soul ... remove[s] her stuff", so
"I [...] threw it in the trash."
Since you covered your butt by calling them to seize them to remove their stuff and giving them a reasonable amount of time to pick it up, you can't be responsible.
Yes it is against the Law what you did,
First you must explain to the owner what you are going to do and give them time to remove the items ( two weeks normally) Second, you must fashion shore they now what you are going to do speak about them face to facade with a witness fundamental by.
lastly you contact the police and tell them what you are doing they will share you to ring them and say move it or loose it they next have until bin hours of daylight to respond if they don't you are OK.
You talked to her boyfriend, you talk your daughter, but you didn't talk to her.
In most states, even where on earth you have involuntarily come into possession of someone's property, you must at most minuscule give them restrained notice in the past tossing it out.
This doesn't sound valid to me. She can sue you, but it isn't really a police matter.
EDIT on your optional details - YA is "garbage surrounded by, garbage out". If you don't put adjectives of the facts into your legal give somebody the third degree, you can get a wrong answer. We work near we've got.
If she sues you, you can argue that your relating her to take it away be reasonable identify and you did all you be required to do. That's for a judge to want.
Beginning Law School?
Can you please explain from beginning to conclude what I would need to do, starting near entering college?Do I have to capture a bachelor's degree surrounded by something before I can commence law academy? I am confused.
Thank you SO much!
Answers: Yes, you need to catch a bachelor's degree first. Pick something that you will seize good grades contained by, because grades count for law institution.
Before entering into law university you will be required to take the LSAT entrance exam. Take a prep course to revise how to take this theory test. ALSO the best way to prepare for this tryout is to get as lots practice exams as possible and practice. Your grade on this is also fundamentally important.
If you hold good undergrad grades and a big LSAT score you may even be capable of get a partial grant into law arts school. You will apply to law college at the end of your college permanent status. In college there are counselors who will relief you fill out adjectives the paper work to apply for ruling school. These ethnic group are the best asset to get into the academy you want.
Law school is really tough. It comes next to lots and lots of homework and tons of just reading. If you can increase your reading skills in college, most colleges hold some material on this or a class, do so. You necessitate to read fast and retain closely in regulation school. My other suggestion would be to clutch some business classes in college, a short time ago in overnight case you end up starting your own tenet firm.
After law university you will sit for a 2 day public house exam to get your license. Don't nouns, take the prep-course to revise how to take the slab exam and don't let it alarm you. Once you pass that exam you are a legal representative.
Go to the American Bar Assoc website www.abanet.org they have some infor on those who want to be a attorney. Good luck.
you have to budge college and get some alevels first
thats how it works contained by Uk
first, need your bachelor's point
--major not important but GPA is
--then pocket the LSAT---do study materials do not just be in motion and blindly sit for the exam.
--then send out applications to decree schools you want to attend.
--get official
Go to college, get your undergrad level and take the LSAT while you are contained by college. Then, start sending out applications to law school so you can start right out of school.
Once you gain accepted to a statute school try and attain a summer internship since most firms like to pick their first year associates from their load of summer interns.
Good Luck! Law is very provoking but very rewarding.
let's see, this is for USA
first you requirement to get an undergraduate scope, not really important the primary versus getting good grades,
subsequent you take the LSAT, hopefully chalk up well
next apply to law school, who look at LSAT scores, GPA, the arts school you graduated from, and some other things
if you cause it threw law university and graduate with a JD, after you may sit for a state Bar exam, which is a two day event, consequently if you pass, afterwards the state board looks to your background to see if your persona meets their requirement
You do not necessitate a bachelors degree. Many imperative schools adopt students with 2 year degree. However, these are not accredited by the American Bar Association. That accreditation is used by adjectives employers to determine the helpfulness of the education you received surrounded by law arts school.
So to get into the best decree schools and compete for the best job, you should get a bachelors scope. In addition to getting polite grades, it is good to key in something that you will be interested surrounded by when you become a lawyer or something that will otherwise support you as a lawyer. Political science, English, psychology, business, are adjectives good examples of majors that lawyer later put to honourable use.
You will need to hold the LSAT before one accepted by a tenet school and, if your tenet school is not ABA qualified, you may have to lug a "baby bar" at the pause of your first year in regulation school to be sure you are on the right track. The LSAT is a logic theory test filled near puzzles. If you obtain a study aid and revise the patterns of the types of puzzles, you will know how to approach solving them immediately and do well on the LSAT.
Law university programs are usually 3 years, but there are fine darkness school programs that rob 4. After graduation, you take the block exam in the state where on earth you want to practice. Some of these, like CA, are 3 time exams.
You will also complete an application to state's bar committee and experience a background check. If you go beyond the bar exam and the check, you will be sworn surrounded by as a lawyer.
Good luck!
Nicaraguan Cigars, Cuban Tobacco, and U.S. Customs? Legality?
Can I bring cigars bought in Nicaragua stern to the U.S., if they are cuban? What if it is cuban tobacco but the cigar is rolled in Nicaragua, is that lawful? Also, how many can I bring subsidise? I think its something similar to 100 cigars, 200 cigarettes. My question is, can I bring put a bet on both 100 cigars and 200 cigarettes, or is it one or the other?Answers: Yes, it's legal to bring cigars that use Cuban fillers, binders, and wrappers, as long as they're made (rolled/assembled) surrounded by a different country. Many companies use Cuban tobacco in their cigar making process, and they introduction to the U.S. for legal Dutch auction. (some are even made in the U.S.)
For example, Capricho Cubano's use Cuban-seed long fillers & binders and a U.S. Connecticut wrapper.
It's a loop-hole contained by the law. You can't buy cigars from Cuba, but cigar maker in other countries can officially use their tobacco and sell to the United States.
Here's an example of the loop-hole from the originator of Havana Honeys: http://www.njbiz.com/article.asp?aID=311...
And Armando Ramos's Pinar line: http://www.deweyavesmokeshop.com/cigars%...
I'll enjoy to get rear to you on the quantity you're allowed. My father be a U.S. Customs Director for 30+ years. I'll ask him for you.
I traveled to Canada a lot, and the rule, rear in the 80's, be no more than 3 cartons of cigs per personage. (I never brought cigars across, sorry) If you'll be traveling with other general public, have the others aver some at customs to split the amount so you can bring more over. (you didn't hear that from me) *wink* *wink*
__________________
EDIT:
I just hear back from my father. Here's the current law on the subject...
"You can get the Pamphlet (know beforehand you go) on-line. A US resident can bring back $800 respectively, not to include more then 200 cigarettes and 100 cigars. Of course they can not be made contained by Cuba. But, as you say, can be assembled within other countries."
You can download the PDF pamphlet here: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/vacati...
Enjoy your cigars! (and cigs)

NO. CIGAR From abroad surrounded by US is highly sensitive process. I wouldn't offer you the solution but why do you want to bring such a thing. You smell bleak enough next to Cigrettes(can't even spell this)
Is there a constitutional right to vote contained by the U.S.?
I have hear on the radio over the past few weeks that within is no constitutional right to vote in the U.S. and I hold not been competent to disprove it yet. Site reference please.Answers: I have hear the same, and the answer does appear to be NO.
But, think about a state actually denying it's citizens the vote... how long do you devise that would last?
Yes in that is, but it is a "COLLECTIVE" right, not an individual right. That means that the policy cannot restrict the right of "the people" to vote for the government of their choice, but they can restrict the right of a absolute individual to vote - felons cannot vote, the justifiably insane cannot vote, non-citizens cannot vote. Various Constitutional amendments though, limit on what BASIS they can cut-off date that right.
The requirement that Representatives and electors for the President be elected by the empire is in Article 1 of the US Constitution, which give the individual States the right to establish the way the elections are run.
The 15th amendment guarantees that the right to vote may not be summary on the basis of see, the 17th amendment calls for the direct see of Senators the 19th amendment guarantees that the right to vote may not be abridged on the proof of gender, and the 26th amendment guarantees the right to vote to everyone over the age of 18.

Who care. In the end the Govt. will pick who they chew over is best. I hope you are talking in the order of the Presidency.
Rent discount for broken ac?
I have be having problems near my ac being broken for roughly speaking 6 months, the apartment has be trying to fix it but they have not found the problem as of however. They have tried lots different things, but it boils down to the freon leak may be inside the walls and they may inevitability to tear out sheet rock. I have to pay 2 $400 frothy bills during this time, regular bill is $130. So anyways the apartment also went below new headship last month and when I told them roughly my ac problem and how I should get a discount stale my $1000 a month rent--their answer was a $50. discount stale this month. I feel I deserve more of a discount as this is Texas and I own had to accord with this problem for 6 months. I enjoy had no previous discount. What am I justifiably able to do. BTW ac is still packed up. They are replacing inside unit tommorrow. if that doesn't work they will start tear out sheetrock. Also I believe it is illegal to append freon knowing their is a leak.???Answers: First, read your lease. See if the tenant has undertake to fix your A/C. If he has, you should contact him contained by writing and request that he make the required repairs.
Even if the lease does not say anything roughly speaking repairs, your landlord may still be responsible if he have otherwise agreed to make repairs. From what you articulate, the landlord have tried to make repairs to the A/C surrounded by the past and seem to understand this is his must. Assuming you can show he has agreed to construct repairs, then he would be responsible of late as if it were surrounded by the lease.
Texas law provides a little options for recourse, including terminate your lease and seeking damages for the landlord's failure to repair. Texas tenet may also entitle you to court costs and attorneys fees from the landlord if clear in your mind conditions are met.
If a stern dispatch to the landlord does not suffice, I strongly suggest you desire legal counsel to pursue these other option.
You are not due a discount unless a working air conditioner be promised in your lease. You bill be so high because you continued to run a component you knew (by your own admission) be not working.
If you can prove they know there be a leak, they did not give attention to they fixed the leak, and that they added freon, you could profile a complaint with the EPA against them. Won't assistance you a bit, but you might feel better.
You may verbs to take the discount until the A/C condition is repaired. If nearby was a working A/C when you be shown the apratment, then the condition of the apartment may not be changed minus your agreement and consent for the same rent. How they arrived at $50, I am not sure, but considering that amount is 5% of your monthlty rent (I am not sure if you compensate your own utilities), then that may be rational. If you pay your own utilities, after you may ask your utility company for the average cost of the A/C which is contributed to your monthly electric bill. You may deduct that amont from your rent. Also, at this point you should place your manager on written notice of the malformation, and advised that a assumption related to the probelm will be withheld from the rent until repaired. As far a a retroactive discount, that may not be able to be recovered unless you hold a record of when the manager was put on distinguish of the defect, such as a acceptance from a mailing. Other than that, you may bring into a "he said, she said" as to when notice of the deformity was given. Further, if sheet rock have to be ripped out, BE SURE TO GET A WRITTEN STATEMENT AS TO THE ESTIMATE OF THE TIME FOR THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT TO BE COMPLETED. Anything beyond that time will allow you to deduct further rent for the unihabitable condition within which the repairs may place your apartment. Take video of the work, repairs and conditon.
How can my 16 year old son prove his age?
He is 16 years elderly but he is quite small within build and therefore doesn't other look his age. I know there are identity cards he can subscribe to/purchase that he can use to prove his age but I can't ttrace them. Can anyone dispatch me a link to organisations that provide locally recognised Identification and proof of age cards for the UK?Answers: Go to www.validateuk.co.uk you can apply for a proof of age card there. It with the sole purpose costs a tenner, which I thought was rather reasonable.
A lot of places won't adopt a birth certificate as a proof of age because it isn't a form of photo ID. Their assumption is that the birth card could belong to anyone.
The best way of proving his age is beside photo ID. If he has passport anywhere will adopt that as a valid form of ID. If not a proof of age card like the one on the above website. They're relatively cheap and he can get it in his wallet. Passports are expenisive if you singular need it for ID purposes, they're awkward to pass around and it's a real distress in the **** if you lose it.
EDIT: A citizen card would probably be better as it's parliament approved. You can download an application form fomr the website and it only cost 9 quid.
*I own the opposite problem to your son, as i am also 16, but I look elder than my age!
*I recently get a 16+ oyster card which i use for travel and as proof of ID as it is valid!

I don't know how the system works in surrounded by your country, but I use my medicare card - the one that grants me free access to the condition system - to prove my age. It works for me, and I'm also 16 years old.
EDIT: I'm Canadian, and I've never have that problem because of my medicare card.
Passport????? Or His birth Certificate
http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/passports-a...
for Id cards, they cost, and aren't cheap.
Try this...

.I think you direct online or if not it list a load of shops that you can pick up a handout application form from. I got one years ago it be free then, I assume you have to wages now but I would assume it is just a small admin cost.
You can get Citizen card dont know how but contained by your local off licence they will probably hype them behind the till - newly ask how there.

Would someone please explain "universal" healthcare?
My impression, from listen to Edwards on CNN, is that it will be mandatory and illegal to not own insurance. So then, how will without a job people know how to afford it.Also, does this mean that the employer must buy it for personnel, or does it mean that respectively household must, by law, own insurance coverage.
Answers: It means that adjectives citizens will be guaranteed health fastidiousness that they will pay a portion of, but the majority will come from taxes.
The on benefit wouldn't have to salary for it! you and I would every week out of our checks. By the way , stipulation surgery you can expect to wait at lowest four times longer than normal ( since when does the rule move quickly? ).
Universal robustness care = charge the working class that has insurance already to fund insurance for those who want not to work. sounds fair and freshly doesn't it!!
I suggest going to the candidate's websites to see what they define it as. after adjectives how can we explain a "plan" made by one of them? i suggest strongly that you visit this one and see what she's saw about healthcare contained by our country's future!

If married couples break up do the spouse have to settle up child support?
If married couples break up do the spouse have to discharge child support?Question Details: My boyfriend is paying child support. They were together when he be paying child support. she had be lying saying that he vanished and wasn't taking care of his responsibilities because she be trying to get extra money from the system. So she had them thinking that he wasn't around and that he wasn't taking prudence of his child. Well after a year of being broken up but still married he realize that he owed for backbone child support from the time the child was born. But he didn't donate his wife until the child was 3 but the management has him paying off child support and he don't owe it. His wife is just a fraud and now he is really suffering. He can't take nothing surrounded by his name because they say aloud he still owe back child support. He doesn't know what to do? What can he do to find his name cleared. He isn't from america so she took lead of him. Please help!!!
Answers: This might nouns like a dumb answer, but I would really suggest he bring a consultation from a lawyer. If they be legally married within the USA and the child was born here, he individual starts oweing child support when thy are no longer together. It all depends on what state he lives within. Most legal consultations can cost lower than 100 dollars. Money well worth it if it can put aside him thousands.
If the government be paying then repayment is due. The responsibility for repayment customarily falls on the non-custodial parent.
If he was paying his support to her (and can prove it) and she did not inform the state of the payments she could be charged near fraud and may be required to pay support the amount fraudulently obtained.
If they be together and she was drawing a rule assistance check, he could easily be charged as an addition to the crime.
thats what happens when you cheat the system. here is no such thing as free money. adjectives child support paid thru state or gov have to be paid pay for . by the absent parent. since she lied nearly him being not there she committed fraud. his knowing makes him a short time ago as guilty. not only can they get them pay it backbone they can send them to top-security prison or give secondary fines to pay vertebrae. if he did not know she did this he needs to prove it. she will next face the consequences alone. if he lies and say he didn't know then he is facing even more charges when they swot the truth and they will
damn i hate populace that do this. my taxes going to scum that reason they deserve to live free.
better if u consult with the legal representative... of course it may be expensive.
but it also depends on the law applied in the nouns where this happen.
you didn't clarify one point: was the child from both of them, or from previous someone of the woman?
does he have any proof that he have been paying the child support these times, close to bank verbs to a/c, cheque, etc? if ha has be paying cash, next that's the thing you can scarcely prove!
if he has proof, he can sue stern.
