Lottie W asked:
This is in reference to the case of the murdered girl and her almost full-term “baby,” Chloe. It seems to me to be a double-standard, to be able to abort without it being “legally” murder, but when someone kills an expectant mother, they are charged with 2 counts.
How/why is it legal to do that?

cay_damay asked: I’m having trouble with a roomate in Philadelphia. I need legal advice on how to legally kick her out of my apartment from a lawyer, but I don’t have money to throw around. I’ve heard that there are places you can go online to get free legal advice (I mean actually asking a lawyer how to go about things, not just reading laws) especially with tenant laws, but I’m reluctant to just go anywhere that pops up on google. If anyone has used a website to get free legal advice, and can vouch that the website is good and the legal advice you got was good, I would really like to know what site you went to. Thanks so much!
I’m not looking for legal advice on Yahoo answers right now, just references to lawyers, so please, people, don’t pontificate on what you think my situation is and what you think I might do. I really need a real legal professional now.

OrangePez16 asked:
Seen a few articles about this, but wanted to know from people in the legal community. Not to say that I want to upset and feel the wrath from a Best Buy, but I want to know what my rights are as a consumer. (I’m in CA, btw, if state laws are different)
What specifically I’m looking for is - do they have a right to check me if I just purchased something and walked to the door. They don’t have any suspicion of shoplifting, they are just trying to adhere to “store policy”. Do they have a right to search what is now my personal property?

Eyez4u asked:
My husband’s ex (of 7 yrs.) & her daughter listed my husband as a reference on a car financing application. Unfortunately, the finance co. has contacted us regarding their whereabouts. We’re trying to gain more info. regarding the application, however, the finance co. is screaming “confidentiality” restraints. We’re afraid now that the ex may have done more that we don’t know about. Is there any recourse we can take?

Radical Denominator asked: This question is especially directed to situations involving protest where people may or may not say “I do not give you permission to film me”.
Also, do police officers have the right to put their hand over a camera or order you to turn it off or ‘put it down’?
I would like answers to cite specific legal references or application in an area that would know the extent of the law.
Thank you.

morkmath asked: ….the tactic of a law enforcement officer pretending to be a vulnerable victim seems to be a great way to net predators and make criminals think twice wondering if their mark is possibly a cop….
…The gimmicked auto that looks like it’s ripe for stealing, the older couple walking in the vicinity of punks while being watched by undercover policemen, the “child” on the web being groomed by a molester, etc….
…Shouldn’t this tactic be used practically everywhere?
