Attempted Credit Card Fraud Against Me by Jenny Sobblemetch - Mon, 03 Jun 2013 19:35:32 EST ID:Ma3m719I No.39370 Ignore Report Reply Quick Reply

So, I just got an email from my old Credit Card provider, and apparently http://www.kolling.com.au/ these guys tried to steal $311.74 from me without my authorization. I could easily prove this in court, because I haven't used that card in a year and have not used the providers services for some time - although the card is still active.

Ausfag here. About two weeks ago I went to a bar with a mate and fucked up. I had a box cutter on me from work, xanax ( 6 2 mg pills ) and a small amount of weed ( half a gram ish ). The last thing i remember was ordering drinks at happy hour. I woke up the next day and rang my mate to see what happened and apparently I wondered off from the bar at some point and was found by the police. They rang my mate and told him to take me home or i'd have to sober up in a cell which he did but the box cutter, xanax and weed were gone. I had the xanax hidden in my wallet so they must have gone through it and found it along with everything else but I haven't received a letter in the mail yet. Does it sound like I got off easy or can it take a while before I'm charged with anything? I hate stressing over every time the mail gets dropped off

The xanax is prescribed but I was worried that they'd say I had intention to sell or some shit, my mate told me it' a $500 fine on the spot for having a weapon which is what confused me as to why they'd just take it all and let me go. If I'm lucky i just lost everything rather than having the police find it.

So even if he has no excuse for having his weapon, a box cutter, he is still in the clear? Why would you need a box cutter in a bar, unless you are a worker opening shipments of booze or some such thing?

He probably said "it's from my job, I forgot/didn't have time to take it out of my pockets before I went out". Since his xanax is prescribed (but he probably didn't have it in its bottle or have his prescription with him) and the amount of weed was so small, it most likely was just taken as a precaution and then kept and smoked/taken later.

Does anyone know the noise control laws regarding tenants in NYC? I'm in the process of writing a letter and having it certified regarding some hard evidence I have against my neighbors that they've been breaking the rules of the building. I seek to use some of the language and facts from an official NYC documents addressing noise laws. I've extracted some facts from the buildings lease, but I'd like to go a little farther. I'm also going to have the letter signed by a couple of tenants in the building that are being affected by the noise.

Also, I have spoken to the landlord to no avail. And I definitely can't "not pay rent" since my roommate is related to the landlord. She told him that I was willing to take the tenants to court but the lease says tenants are responsible for their own legal cases.

Avoiding Rent by Charles Fuckingstone - Sun, 26 May 2013 19:11:19 EST ID:ls2eGjLM No.39274 Ignore Report Reply Quick Reply

How easy/difficult is it to avoid paying rent?

My story is that I transferred universities but already had signed contracts and everything for a new house and they were adamant that I still had to pay. We came to an agreement for paying £100 over 28 months to cover the cost for that one year.

Anyway, my parents are moving house (which is where the billing address is and the only address they know) so I was just thinking I'll cancel the direct debit and never hear from them again. Is this possible? I've paid a £1000 roughly so far, I really don't want to give any more for a property I haven't even stepped in (who would?). Could I just cancel it or could they track me easily and then demand more on top?

Thanks for your advice.

idk the situation in the UK (assuming that's where you are) but in the US once they've accepted that lease has been terminated they have to stop charging you rent. Basically if they try to rent the place out again the lease is terminated since both parties have agreed that you are not going to live there.

And while you're technically "right" (the best kind of right) you still come off as a bit of a douche bag because we both know a year's time frame is very likely more than enough time to locate another tenant who can begin paying where the initial signee left off, while compensating in the mean time.

spare me the law is a saturated field bullshit because a) this isn't america, and b) my situation is a little different, so this is just a far away possibility and I'm interested to know if it's even possible.

I've always found law really interesting actually and frequently read up on it just because I like it. I like listening to sensationalist shit on the news and trying to pick at it through a legal perspective

with that being said though I'm currently working on an electrical engineering degree lol

which I like too

my question is how hard is it for an engineer to cross over into law? is it even heard off? does engineering work experience help out in an over-saturated environment? I'm interested in everything from patent law to criminal law so thats not really an issue

Hey guys, I was thinking the lot of you would have a greater combined knowledge of name-changes and loopholes through them than /cd/ would. So, I just got my gender marker changed on my driver's license, technically illegally, but who cares? However, John is an awfully male-name for girl. I have an attorney working on my name change, but she said it would take 5-8 months after I pay off my fines from other problems with the law.

So, my question is this..is there anyway to "hack the system" and assume a female name that's legally honored? I'm looking at another year of living as female and having a legal-ale identity if I can't hack my way through. I've had several job offers rejected once I showed the legal documentation with my male-name on it. I think that's discrimination, but who cares?

some requirements for a name change can be waived by the judge but it's his/her sole discretion over whether to waive them or not.

Whether any particular requirement can be waived is usually spelled out in local law so I don't really know if they can/will waive the rule regarding fines for you in your area.

As for discrimination on the basis of gender, most states allow that kind of behavior from businesses in hiring practices. There are a few with laws prohibiting such discrimination.

In my home state of NJ, where i need to have it done, there's like no free rides from trannies. In Canada, Argentina, and most other places in the world, you get a free pass on the name change if you also do a gender change (with supporting documents). The last job I had, my friend arranged for me, and he told everyone I was trans, just 'cuz. I felt humiliated, so I resigned after a couple weeks. I told the managers there that I was intersex, my parents thought I was going to be a boy and that they were wrong-we just never got around to the name change.


Oh, yeah, MD has nothing for gender expression. I'm not surprised, it's starting to get pretty southernly this far south, haha.

I mean, if i could get a genetic screening, I could use the variation on the Y-chromosome responsible for androgen insensitivity as an intersex characteristic. that might fly.

More so than the cost, I'd prefer a faster option. I've been putting my female name on my resumes I send out, but that hasn't quite gotten me anywhere yet. I'm considering using all-male identifiers on my applications and resumes just to "get my foot in the door," but that seems to only get to the interview, and it seems to get me kicked out of the interview much faster...

My friend is being kicked out of his house because he failed a grade. He is adamant on leaving and refuses to take any legal action or anything with his step parents. He is eighteen and I am twenty one. He failed his senior year of high school and I want him to be able to attend his last year of highschool in oklahoma while living with me so he can graduate. As far as I know he is still a dependent on his step parents. Should he file for independence since he would receive better benefits and government aid? Is there any legal issues I should be concerned with? He currently has no major medical issues, sees a shrink or anything which lessens my worry about him losing his parents insurance.

Is there anything he or I should be aware of when trying to register him to a new school here?

Technically, it wasnt a mobile meth lab!... it was a 2 liter bottle of cooked, filtered liquid awaiting being gassed to extract the meth. They also had drain cleaner and paraphernalia.

Charged with felony child neglect, felony child endangerment and manufacturing methamphetamines with previous drug charges, and on 3 years probation, how fucked would such person be?

the last paragragh says "Under the most commonly proposed legalization regime – one that imposes high taxes on marijuana – violent drug cartels would simply undercut legal prices to keep their market share. With increased demand for marijuana resulting from legalization, these groups would likely grow stronger." how would losing money and having a larger more organized form of competition make drug cartels stronger? the whole article can easily be argued

Comparing the white and black market prices of currently legal but controlled drugs has nothing to do with predicting what would happen to the price of a currently illegal (with exceptions) drug if it suddenly were legalized. In one case, both markets coexist in time. In the other, the white market replaces the black.

There are several reasons why prohibition increases drug prices. They have to do with how market shares are more determined by turf wars than by the laws of competition via price/quality/marketing, with the greater priority given to stealth over economicity, with the added costs associated with smuggling, bribes, etc and many others. Just look at what happened to heroin in the UK in the 30s or alcohol in the US during Prohibition. Black market drugs are more expensive.

>>39304 All items sell cheaper on a black market or people would buy them in the store. Maybe the price is hidden inside oversight or regulations or what have you, but there is no reason for a black market if it's not cheaper. "Black market" tobacco smuggled between states without adding the higher state tax stamp is sold at a cheaper price than tobacco at other area convenience stores. While it is technically true, "not all items sell cheaper on the black market," this would be because of no black market existing. The price cannot be undercut, presumably due to economy of scales and/or a threshold profit for people to be willing to engage in illegal activity counteracting any tax. I presume there to be no tobacco black market in states with the cheapest stamp fee.

> alcohol in the US during Prohibition

that became a black market drug, and the price grew after that ended the price of shine went way way way down, and was still cheaper then the store bought stuff.

one thing though, the bootleggers who ran the speak easys and the stills didnt become upstanding citizens after prohibition ended, they moved into other illegal actives and organized crime.
