The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241, July 2, 1964) was a in the United States that extended voting rights and outlawed racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public ("public accommodations").

Once the Act was implemented, its effects were far reaching and had tremendous long-term impacts on the whole country. It prohibited discrimination in public facilities, in government, and in employment, invalidating the Jim Crow laws in the southern U.S. It became illegal to compel segregation of the races in schools, housing, or hiring.

Powers given to enforce the act were initially weak, but were supplemented during later years. Congress asserted its authority to legislate under several different parts of the United States Constitution, principally its power to regulate interstate commerce under Article One (section 8), its duty to guarantee all citizens equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment and its duty to protect voting rights under the Fifteenth Amendment.

Can you get arrested in California for a warrant in Nevada?

if ot is a felony warrant and then only if the issuing state is willing to extradite. for some crimes even though they may fall under felony warrants it is not worth the cost.

Added: Where the law is concerned, never say "never!" All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - It is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you for a particular offense, or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend, in part, on the offense and the seriousness of it, and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses and crimes of violence.

Does a biological father have the right to keep a stepfather away from a child?

Yes, if the father and stepmother are divorced, and if his daughter is still a minor he can prevent her from seeing her stepmother. But if the father and stepmother are still married, that will complicate things, making it rather difficult. He shouldn't expect the stepmother to leave her own home when the daughter comes to visit, and he shouldn't expect his daughter to only visit with him in public places. And if he is still married to the stepmother, then he shouldn't have a problem with her and his daughter visiting each other.

If however his ex is in a same-sex relationship and the step mom is her new gf/wife, he can not. Neither of the parents can dictate to the other one who the child sees when in care of the other parent unless that person is unfit to be around the child and that would require proof to show in court.

The right to remain silent protects people from self incriminating themselves, which is in the 5th amendment. The right to an attorney, and a fair trial, come from the 6th. A Miranda Warning is a notification by the police of your rights under the 5th and 6th Amendments, specifically as to applying them while in police custody.
