It is illegal for the police in any state to question an underaged suspect without that suspect's legal guardian or a child advocate present thus anything said by a 15 year old to the police about any crime if said without a legal guardian or a child advocate present is illegally obtained evidence and can not be used in a court of law.
Are you allowed to question the police about their service or conduct?
Yes, of course. Assuming it doesn't interrupt an ongoing investigation. But they probably won't take kindly to it, They do a dangerous job and don't like being questioned about how they are doing it. If you see a police officer do something way out of line, call the department and talk to a supervisor. Asking a police officer for his badge number alos isn't the smartest move. It tends to make them angry. But if the officer has done something seriously out of line, ask for a badge number, or their full name. Or if you live in a city where police officers have designated units, get their unit number. And call a supervisor.
Well it is understood that when you approach for professional consultation then you must be ready to pay for it. But there are some doctors who give free medical support over phone to regular patients.
Are police allowed to stop you in the street?
They need only to have reasonable SUSPICION in order to detain you on the street.
ANSWER
They may also stop you at checkpoints without reasonable suspicion. An example would be a sobriety checkpoint where everyone is stopped or a random pattern such as every other vehicle, or every 3rd vehicle is stopped.
Yes. It's illegal to be and illegal person in the U.S...so they have the right to have them deported if they are suspected of illegal immigration.
What sustains human trafficking?
Quite simply it is the failure of all Governments to ensure Global Databases which can be used to trace track and locate activity related to human trafficking are on a common platform in every Country of the World.
The Database set would include financial transaction, shipping movement and known persons and their community relationships. Human Trafficking has to be financed and the numbers are not small. The funds must cross borders and at some point must be removed from its 'ghost system' into the 'real system'.
Our Governments are weak, soft and unwilling to confront a growing problem. Until we have principled 'tough on crime Governments' women and children continue to suffer and when they are of no further use they will be murdered and in some cases their body parts will be sold. A lot of people make money out of the pain and misery of the women and children and men too who are trafficked. We need a Global Platform to collect information and tough Governments to use the information to arrest those concerned. Unfortunately we have neither.
What did Locke mean by the term natural law?
The rationally knowable morality that is founded in god's will for his creatures. Locke believed that all private and public good is based on the natural law that displays fundamental rights and liberties. Natural law is derived directly from the natural order of the world and from the built in tendencies of human nature.
Did Albert Einstein refuse to be Prime Minister of Israel due to the plight of the Palestinians?
No. He refused to be Prime Minister because a). he was a physicist, somewhat
of a loner, and had no interest in holding public office; b). he felt that he wouldn't
be too good at it; c). whether or not he turned out to be good at it, it would certainly
interfere with his day-job as a Nobel-Prize-winning physicist; d). he was smart
enough to know that becoming Prime Minister is not something that someone just
hands you if you want it, like a king's crown; you have to campaign for votes and
be elected to it, and he had no interest in putting himself through that process;
e). the "Palestinians" didn't enter into it at all. For one thing, until only a couple of
years before that time, Israelis themselves had also been referred to as "Palestinians",
and the label hadn't yet been appropriated as a human-rights mantra. Also, those
Arabs who had chosen to stay when the new nation was declared independent
had it as good as anyone else in Israel, and were in no "plight". Finally, those who
had chosen to get out temporarily until the surrounding nations and their armies
could finish destroying the new nation, and were temporarily sitting in "refugee camps"
in Egypt and Jordan, were there temporarily of their own choice, and weren't expected
to be there very long ... it was inconceivable that their "hosts" would leave them there
without assistance for six months, let alone sixty years.
Was Larry swearingen executed for the murder of Melissa trotter?
No, in January 2009 he was given a reprieve for retrial or rehearing over an evidence question.

How do you get a fire arm waiver for an ex felon?
There are only two instances where a convicted felon can retain firearm rights.
- The felony conviction was for something which is only a felony at state level, not under federal law. In this case, it is possible to apply for and receive relief of disability.
- The felony conviction was later overturned, the convicted person was release, and the case against them was dismissed.
Those are the only instances where someone is an ex-felon. They can get their firearm rights back.
If you were convicted of a felony, and neither of the above conditions are applicable to you, you are forbidden by federal law from ever purchasing, possessing, or being allowed access to firearms. There are no waivers granted.
Is it legal for the DMV to make it impossible for a 16-year-old to drive alone?
Absolutely. It is an established legal principal that no one has a constitutional "right" to drive a motor vehicle. To be licensed to drive in a State, a person must meet any requirements or conditions set by the State, and the State can revoke a person's privilege to drive if those are not followed.
No. The DMV does not have lawmaking power. The legislature does. And yes, it is legal for the legislature to make it impossible for a 16-year-old to drive alone and to empower the DMV to enforce this rule.
Does a lady hang till death ever in Pakistan?

How are non-muslims treated in Saudi Arabia?
Answer 1
Anyone who is not Sunni Muslim is treated horribly and all religions aside from Sunni Islam are illegal. Naturally conversion out of Sunni Islam to any other religion (aside from Shiite Islam) is a punishable offense and proselytization of any non-Sunni Islamic faith is also a punishable offense.
Shiite Muslims: Currently, there is government-level repression of Shiite Islam in Saudi Arabia. The Shiites, roughly 15% of the total population, are actively banned from government positions, have many sectors of the economy closed to them, and have minimal say even in their own protection. Additionally, Wahhabis have issued fatwas against Shiite Muslims, written textbooks slandering their faith, actively banned Ashura and other Shiite festivals, and in some cases prevented the creation of Shiite burial grounds.
Christians: Most Christians in Saudi Arabia are immigrants (usually from the Philippines). They are forbidden from building churches or praying in any public place. They are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverages or eat pork. They are oftentimes prevented from owning land in Saudi Arabia so that the land never passes to a Non-Muslim.
Jews: Jews are expressly prohibited from living or working in Saudi Arabia, never mind praying. Additionally, the Saudi government supports and funds the publishing of Anti-Semitic Texts such as Mein Kampf and the Protocols of Zion. The Saudi government also publishes textbooks for worldwide distribution claiming that Jews are the descendants of apes and pigs.
Hindus:
Most Hindus in Saudi Arabia are immigrants (usually from India). Since Hindus are considered idolaters, should they be found praying, this is actually an offense. Idols are confiscated when found. Praying in public or any obvious signs of Hindu belief are also punishable.
Please see the Related Links below which serve as partial evidence for the above statements. The idea that persons who are not Sunnis are treated equal to Sunnis is so ludicrous that it borders on the absurd.
Answer 2
Non-musilm in Saudi Arabia usually treated in same way musilm treated, but there are some of people are ignorant so maybe will treated unrespectful.
What is the function of the judiciary?
judiciary is very important because while living in a country we should follow some rules and laws of the government without judiciary people become independent and they will start doing things of their own choice and if there is no law in a country then their is no discipline so it is very important.
This is the wrong answer, You will not understand what this is saying please improve this if you feel the answer above is a lie! So people of America, if you are looking for a reasonable answer to this question please improve this!
The main function of the judiciary is to interpret the constitution. The judiciary also handles all types of cases filed in courts and give a verdict in reference to the constitution.
An employer need not accommodate an employee's alleged disability until the EMPLOYEE initiates a request for a specific accommodation, and provide medical evidence of the impairment.
THEN, the employer decides if the impairment can be accommodated, either the way the employee suggests, or any other way which is not costly or violates a union contract.
An employer attempting to fire an employee does not necessarily violate ADA. Back pain is not disability. ADA disability is a permanent condition which substantially impairs a major life activity: seeing, hearing, walking, talking, eating, sleeping.
How effective are Hate Speech Laws?
All sorts of speech are outlawed besides so-called 'hate speech'. For example perjury, defamation, incitement to riot, incitement to crime, swearing on children's television and the like. If it is to be argued that passing laws against certain speech drives that speech underground and foments civil disobedience then we should not prosecute these either and it follows the we should thus allow citizens to lie in court, defame people, incite crime and so on.
Humour doesn't usually constitute hate speech and nor does robust criticism of certain behaviours, such as risk taking. If however, hate speech laws start to become trivialised through vexatious application and arbitrary prosecution then we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water thereby legalising the use of racist and homophobic invective, but should instead curtail frivolous, vexatious and arbitrary situations in the first place.
Unless you ar a gay person or a Jew, you don't know the full personal impact of hearing public speakers calling for the genocide of your kind, however wittily, and the drastic decisions that may connote in terms changing where you live and where to send your children to school.

Is Barack Obama a Muslim or just a staunch Jihadie Sympathizer?
No kind of Muslim. This is an internet myth, spread by his political opponents. Barack Obama was raised by his mother and grandparents to be a Christian. He barely knew his father (who while born a Muslim, left the faith); Mr Obama has respect for his Muslim relatives (some of whom he finally met in the late 1980s), but he has never been a Muslim.
Do you have a Sample motion to dismiss foreclosure complaint Florida?
Defendant moves to dismiss count I of Plaintiff's complaint to re-establish a lost promissory note for failure to state a cause of action.
29. Florida Statutes Chapter 673 "applies to negotiable instruments."
30. F.S. 673.1041(1)(c) defines the term "negotiable instrument" as an unconditional promise or order to pay a fixed amount of money, if the instrument does not state any other undertaking or instruction by the person promising or ordering payment to do any act in addition to the payment of money. (emphasis added)
31. F.S. 673.1041(2) provides that "instrument" means a "negotiable instrument".
32. The official comment to F.S. 673.1041 states that the definition of "negotiable instrument" delineates the scope of Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
33. The promissory note that the plaintiff seeks to foreclose is not a negotiable instrument under Florida law because the note is not just a promise to pay as it requires additional undertakings by the owner and holder of the note imposed pursuant to the special default loan servicing obligations that apply to this loan. These special and highly detailed loan servicing requirements are incorporated into the subject note and serve to create uncertainty in the amount due. As a result, the promissory note is not a negotiable instrument and not subject to reestablishment under the Uniform Commercial Code.
34. A promissory note to be negotiable, must contain an unconditional promise and there must be a specific ascertainable sum. The uncertainty presented by the terms of the note at issue in this foreclosure defeat negotiability of the note and eliminates the possibility of the application of F.S. Chapter 673 in an action to enforce the note. Nagel v. Cronebaugh, 782 So. 2d 436 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001), citing United Nat'l Bank of Miami v. Airport Plaza Ltd. P'ship, 537 So. 2d 608,609 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988); Thompson v. First Union, 643 So. 2d 1179 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994); See also, Bankers Trust v. 236 Beltway Investment, 865 F. Supp. 1186 (E.D. Va. 1994).
Can a workplace legally tell you not listen to a specific public broadcast radio station?
In the UK they can prevent you from having any public broadcast played at work.
The Performing Rights Society can and do demand fees from many workplaces that play public broadcasts. Many companies have been taken to court and fined.
Why can dictatorial regimes not grant civil rights?
Dictators are hoarders (the ones with no empathy for people, which is 99% at least). They don't give back money to people. They keep them blind, and the people get poor. Better governments have the knowledge that without the people (people don't want to go places where they don't have rights), the government fails and they have empathy for people.
I mean no offense to any dictators.
