Civil suits for not being read Miranda rights are generally not successful because the failure to read Miranda rights does not invalidate a conviction or provide a separate cause of action in civil court. Miranda rights are a procedural safeguard to protect a suspect's Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination during custodial interrogations. If a person's Miranda rights are not read, any statements they make may be excluded from being used in a criminal trial, but it does not entitle them to file a civil suit.
Obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment in the United States, and can be regulated or prohibited by law. However, determining what qualifies as obscene can be subjective and may vary across jurisdictions. Generally, material must meet three criteria—the average person finds that it appeals to the prurient interest, depicts or describes sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, and lacks serious artistic, literary, political, or scientific value—to be deemed obscene.

Read the Constitution. They are all enumerated there.
Yes, Maine is an 'Open Carry State'. However, that does not mean that the local police dept -or- sherriff's dept will not detain you, (or simply, harrass you), for carrying a handgun 'cowboy style' down the sidewalk. Your best bet is to apply for a consealed weapons permit, and know the laws pertaining to both 'open carry' & 'consealed weapons'.
Lots of people like to undress and lie in the sun on a beach so they find themselves a nudist beach so not to upset others who do not like it.
Yes. On March 5, 2014, four same-sex couples files suit against the state of Wyoming challenging the ban on same-sex marriage and the state's refusal to recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages.
Previously, a lesbian couple married in Canada in 2006 sued to have the state recognize their marriage long enough to grant them a divorce. On June 6, 2001, the Wyoming Supreme Court ruled that Wyoming courts can recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages for the purposes of divorce only.
Define the circumstances. Is the minor in full custodial arrest and detention at a facility somewhere (police station-juve facility-etc) -OR - is he simply stopped on the street and asked preliminary questions about the event, which then ultimately led to his arrest?
'Lynching, the practice of killing people by extrajudicial mob action'. (killing people without a process in law) 4743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968.
(my best answer, do not totally trust it)
because they were trying to be one with the white people not have separate powers because of the color of their skin.
Well, if you are asking if you can physically remove eviction filings from court records, the answer is 'no'; however, within certain parameters, the matters can be sealed from public viewing. If you are asking if you can remove eviction entries from your credit report or from your rental history record/file, then the answer is 'yes' within very stringent parameters. There are certain laws that DCRs (data compilation companies) are supposed to follow that, ofetntimes, they do not. So, your information is made available too soo, beyond the legal length of time to report this information and with invalid information or information that is not updated. The first thiing that you want to do is find out what your prospective landlords will see when they view your credit report and your rental history record and the best way to do this is for you to pull your credit report and look in the public records section for anything (judgment(s) ) related to your eviction. Then, have a company like RemoveEvictions.com pull your Rental History Report to see if any evictions show up on your record. Sometimes, when there is no judgment disposition (settled before going to court), your eviction information will still show up when your prospective landlords run your background check. You do not want to be sitting in the property management's office and have this information come up...especially if you have stated that you have no evictions on your record (by going on the information found in your credit report alone). Once you know what's on your record, the aforementioned company (removeevictions.com) has methods to have a good percentage of evictions removed, I'm told.
This film, which was based on the true story of three men who were killed for campaigning for equal rights, was first shown in December 1998. The main focus of the film is the investigation by the FBI and the involvement of the Ku Klux Klan.
This question is more a question of opinion, but my answer is that it is quite effective on protecting our individual rights and freedoms. If you are having a problem with someone discriminating you, then you can take it to court and chose what you want to do (sue, charge,etc) Take this for example, a deaf couple walked it a hospital and the wife of the couple was about to go into labour and they couldn't speak and there were out of interpreters. The hospital took her baby and she had no clue what was going on and afterwards they took this to court as discrimination against the deaf. put that into consideration when you make you opinion.
The effectiveness varies with your position in the social strata. "Second class" citizens (poor, homeless, mentally impaired, aboriginals, youth, sex trade workers) often find that their rights are, by and large, ignored. In a similar fashion, Canadians outside of Canada, or those accused of crimes in foreign countries (e.g. Omar Khadr, now 21 and still at Guantanamo after 5 years) are often denied Charter Rights and the support of the government.
It passed through Congress over Johnson's veto.
It probably depends on the state and the situation somewhat. However, usually if the doctor has permission from one legal guardian (it doesn't need to be both), they can administer meds. Also, in emergency situations where the patient is considered to be at imminent risk of hurting themselves or others, meds may also be administered without any consent (until the crisis abates). Finally, if the minor is emancipated, only their consent is needed.
