Can you still be charged with a DUI if youre not found driving at the time police come?
Yes, you can. Even if you blow below the legal limit on the breathalyzer, they can calculate the alcohol dissipation to determine what your BAC was at the time of whatever incident they're responding to.
Added: While the above is a perfectly true, valid answer, the responding officer MUST witness you either driving or sitting behind the wheel of the vehicle in order to charge you. That is the only way that you can be cited for being "in control" of the vehicle. Merely being intoxicated or impaired at the scene (but NOT behind the wheel) is not sufficient to make the case in court of "being in control of the vehicle."
What is public order advocates?

Why is the jizya no longer paid?
The jizya tax was indicative of the Dhimmi Status of the non-Muslims in the Muslim Empire. The Dhimmi Status was eventually abolished in the mid-1800s by the Ottoman Caliph.
In 1839, as part of the Tanzimat Reforms in the Ottoman Empire, Caliph Abdülmecid I issued the Hatt-ı Şerif of the Gülhane. In this document the equality of rights was generally recognized. Later in the Islahat Hatt-ı Hümayun of 1856, Abdülmecid I, reaffirmed and clarified the guarantees of the equality to all subjects regardless of religion. This was supposed to create relative equality between Muslims and Non-Muslims. While it was not successful in that endeavor, it did abolish jizya and dhimmi system up to the present day.
The failure to create true equality is understandable. The Dhimmi peoples had been historically treated like second-class citizens. Improving their legal conditions did not change the man-on-the-street's view of the Dhimmi person. This is similar to how Amendments 13, 14, and 15 did not suddenly make former enslaved African-Americans truly equal to Whites. Some argue that even with the Civil Rights movement, true equality has not been achieved. As there was never any corollary to the Civil Rights movement in the Islamic World to push for true equality between Muslims and Non-Muslims, the Islamic World remains in this intermediate stage between Dhimmi and Equality.
Answer 2Dhimmis were before exempted from military service and accordingly were required to pay what is called Jizya by those who are entitled but forgiven from military service (it is not to be paid by women, children, old people, or permanently incapable people). Currently; in any Islamic country; all citizens are treated equally in education, jobs, salaries, medical insurances, military service (that is why Jizya is no longer valid), ... . In Egypt, for example, you find teaching staff in some faculties with majority of Christians. You find also in the military many Christians in high ranks to the extent that one of the leaders of the three Egyptian armies during the 1973 war was a Christian.Coordination is the ability to repeatedly execute a sequence of movements smoothly and accurately. This may involve the senses, muscular contractions and joint movements.
Everything that we participate in requires the ability to coordinate our limbs to achieve a successful outcome - from walking to the more complex movements of athletic events like the pole vault.

What are the responsibilities of a daughter?
Opinions from Contributors:
Opinion
Expectations of a daughter's responsibilities vary according to the culture in which she lives. Cleaning the house, obeying her mother and respecting her parents may be what is required of her in some cultures.
In other cultures parents regard one of a daughter's (or a son's) main responsibilities as being to study dutifully, successfully complete her education to the highest level of her ability, and then obtain high status, well paid employment.
It might also be regarded as a daughter's (or son's) duty to marry well and produce children.
When parents become elderly, with failing health, it is regarded in most cultures as mainly a daughter's duty to take responsibility for their emotional and practical support, and for either providing, or else arranging, personal care for them.
Opinion
Basic responisibilities of the daughter include :
- Obey family orders
- Obey and follow the family rules and regulations
- Respect the culture, tradition, religion
- Fulfill the expectations of family
- Never betray trust of family members
- Make everyone in family proud by her good deeds
- Keep everyone in family happy and satisfied
- Spread love and trust in family.
Opinion
It is important to distinguish between legal and cultural responsibilities. The above deals with cultural expectations. In all developed nations, there are very few legal responsibilities that children have to their parents. And no distinctions are made between a daughter and a son in terms of legal responsibilities for their parents.
In the developed world, legal responsibilities of children for their parents are almost universally voluntarily assumed: children are often the designated heirs, and will fulfill roles such as executioner of the estate, medical proxy, and even legal guardianship. However, these type of legal responsibilities are something that the child and parent must agree upon, and cannot be forced onto the child (if the child defers receiving them, such duties, at the last resort, fall to the state to resolve, usually via a court-appointed 3rd party). That is, developed nations assume that an adult is responsible for arranging their own affairs, and that no other adult has an inherent (non-voluntary) duty to manage another's affairs.
In the developing world, which seldom has an extensive legal framework and body of laws, cultural norms are enforced as legal requirements. That is, law is based on custom. In developing countries that have created a more independent and formal legal system, custom is often used as a guideline where the laws haven't been explicit - that is, judges will enforce customary roles (usually with some flexibility based on the particular facts of the case) when the law doesn't provide explicit instructions. This hybrid approach is typical found in a country moving from a purely customary legal system to one of explicit legal formalism.

Why was the Indian act important?
The Indian Act is a legal document and a set of laws that was first passed by the Canadian Government in 1876 and is still enforced today. This set of laws gave the government complete control over the lives of Aboriginal peoples. Historically, control over Aboriginals had been a British responsibility, which was then passed to Canada. Once the fur trade ended, Aboriginal peoples had no role to play, and they became a barrier to government plans for the settlement of western Canada. The Government called it the Indian problem. The government responded to this "problem" by creating the Indian Act which had to objectives: 1. Control over Aboriginal peoples. Aboriginal peoples couldn't leave reserves, own land, or do business without permission. 2. Assimilation. Eventually Aboriginal peoples were to enfranchise and receive all the benefits of any other Canadian).
The Indian Act:
- placed complete control over Aboriginal politics, culture, education, and personal lives in the hands of the federal government
- established rules that dictated who was Indian and who was not (status/non-status)
- located all financial control of Aboriginal peoples with the federal government
- did not allow Aboriginal people to own land
- forced a new form of education on Aboriginal peoples
- did not allow aboriginal people to vote in a federal election until 1960
Some Pro's
The Indian Act is the only government document to recognize Aboriginal peoples. Without it, aboriginal peoples would not have any special status. It allows for certain rights including health services, education, subsidized housing and exemption from certain taxes but all in exchange for land and other rights. Some amendments have been made to the Indian Act including lifting of the ban on ceremonies and fundraising, permission to vote, Bill C-31 to re-establish some Aboriginal peoples' status.
