How long can they hold you in jail before trial in Indiana?
Once you have been charged and arraigned you should go to trial in 90 days or less (i.e.: right to a "speedy" trial). However, if your defense attorney requests a waiver of speedy trial and asks for more time (for whatever reason) the judge will usually grant their request. Also, if the prosecution asks for an extension of the time limit, AND YOUR ATTORNEY AGREES TO IT, the judge will usually grant that also. If you're that anxious to go to trial, speak with your defense attorney and ask them what the holdup is.

Do squatters have rights in the United States?
Yes in many states they do...but there are many requirements that must be met before they can claim any rights to the property,A Squatter is refered to as An adverse possessor,and an adverse possessor must possess land openly for all the world to see, as a true owner would. Secretly occupying another's land does not give the occupant any legal rights. Clearing, fencing, cultivating, or improving the land demonstrates open and notorious possession, while actual residence on the land is the most open and notorious possession of all. The owner must have actual knowledge of the adverse use, or the claimant's possession must be so notorious that it is generally known by the public or the people in the neighborhood.
Adverse possession will not move into legal title unless the claimant has had exclusive possession of the land. Exclusive possession means sole physical occupancy of the property.This means if you allow someone to live on the property that you yourself are living on as well then they can not claim squatters rights to the property.they are only entitled to the rights of a tenant.
Adverse possession must be continuous for the full statutory period ifthe claim is to become legal. Continuity means regular, uninterrupted occupancy of the land. Mere occasional or sporadic use is not enough.the squatter must prove that they have resided on the land for the full length of the term.These terms vary from state to state with the minimum average being 10 years and the max average being 30 years.
However there are several states that do not recognize squatters rights at all period and view squatters as mere tresspassers which are forcefully removed by law enforcement upon request of the land owner.
Many times squatters have extreme trouble when trying to lay claim to land since the burden of proof is completely on them and in many cases the squatter can not prove that a verbal rental aggreement for cash did not exist between them and the land owner.In many cases the squatter is removed by law enforcement as a tresspasser and does not have the finances to hire an attorney to lay claim to the property..
No. There is no such thing as squatters "rights" in the United States. Until a person has satisfied all the state requirements needed to perfect a claim of adverse possession, and then takes the legal steps to perfect that claim, they are considered a trespasser and they have no rights during their period of trespass.
In the traditional common law a person could obtain title to property through use. The common law has been codified under state and federal statutes. Under the various state codes, a person must use the land for a certain number of years, without permission and right out in the open for all the world to see.
If the owner does nothing she is considered to have abandoned the property and the adverse possessor can claim the land. The method of claiming by adverse possession varies from state to state. Some states require only that a notice be recorded in the land records. Other states require that an action be brought in a court of equity and if the plaintiff can prove his case the judge issues a court order that establishes title in the plaintiff.
If a person uses or lives on another person's land with permission, no matter how long, they are barred from making an adverse possession claim.
Adverse possession has a dark side in American history when during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Black land owners were run off their land in several states, barred from returning and their "abandoned" farms were taken by adverse possession by others who were not in the minority. Many people currently hold title under those immoral claims.
Why is executive privilege a source of controversy?
Because it gives the President powers to, among other things, hide information and pardon prisoners. This gives the Executive powers exceeding constitutional authority. Executive Privilege was extremely controversial when, during the Watergate proceedings, Nixon tried to use it to justify his actions.
Furthermore, it gives the president the ability to hide information from the people, which can be viewed as unconstitutional. However, Executive Privilege itself tends to be less controversial than its use.
"Executive privilege" is controversial because it is unconstitutional. However, the power of the President to pardon prisoners is constitutional.
Do the terms 'ethnic cleansing' apply to Biblical events?
When my angel goes in front of you, and brings you to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I blot them out, you shall not bow down to their gods, or worship them, or follow their practices, but you shall utterly demolish them and break their pillars in pieces (Exodus 23.23-24).
From this passage it seems to me that 'ethnic cleansing' can apply to biblical events.
Terry Waite was the special envoy of the Archbishop of Canterbury (head of the Church of England) to the Middle East. He was sent to help attain the release of several hostages in the 1980s, but was himself taken hostage and held for about 3 years.
Why doesn't Vatican City allow women to vote?
Because only Cardinals are allowed to vote in the Vatican. Since the Catholic church only allows men to have leadership positions (and this includes Cardinals) women have no voting rights in the Vatican. If the church ever decided to allow women to hold leadership positions, female Cardinals could vote, but this is not likely to happen any time soon.

Is freedom from invasion of privacy a basic civil right?
You have a constitutional right to be secure in your persons and effects from unlawful search and seizure by the government. There is no "right to privacy".
Beyond that, you'll need to be a more specific to your situation. If you have somebody stalking, watching, or stealing your private information, it's possible there is criminal charges that can be brought against these people. You will have to check with local law enforcement.
Yes, they certainly can, and it's not a threat! Have you ever heard of the charge of Obstructing Justice, or Harboring a Fugitive, or being an Accessory to a crime?

There are few countries where homosexual activity is a capital offense. They are mostly located in Africa and the Middle East. None of them are popular tourist destinations.
Where homosexuality is criminalized, it is usually the sexual act that is illegal, not the outward appearance of being gay. Also, enforcement is usually lax, except in rural areas. Most charges are brought by family members or neighbors, not by strangers. There is also a double standard: locals are treated more harshly than foreign nationals, as the law is meant to control the local population, not to create an international incident by prosecuting foreigners, except in extreme cases.
The United States Department of State would advocate on behalf of an American citizen who is arrested on such a charge while in a foreign country. Nevertheless, it is advisable never to engage in public sex, especially when visiting a foreign country whose laws are unfamiliar to you. It is also advisable to check local laws before planning a vacation, to see if public displays of affection are likely to bring you legal problems. Perhaps one should not spend tourist dollars in a country whose politics you disagree with.
The fear of criminal prosecution is real, however, and was cited by CNN reporter Anderson Cooper as one of the factors he considered before deciding to come out as a gay man. There is a recent case where two gay men were observed engaging in sex on the balcony of a cruise ship that was docked at a Caribbean Island. Persons on the dock alerted the local authorities and the men were arrested. This is an extreme case and is not likely to happen to most gay people who prefer to limit sex to private settings only. Nevertheless, charges were filed and the men were allowed to leave after paying fines.
