If someone fell for a fake mystery shopper scam and cashed a check sent to them, then spent the money. If the check came back bad, what would happen? Could one just get off with it since they didnt write it or slowly pay their way out?

My buddy was driving to electric forest music festival back in June. He got pulled over. The police searched his car, they found an empty bag of coke and took it and said he'd get a ticket in the mail. They also took his girlfriends 5-htp assuming that it was molly "To get tested"

Now he gets a notice that he got a felony drug charge and was found with 25 grams of cocaine. This kid is totally fucked. He doesnt live in michigan where he was charged.

Whats gonna happen to him? He was honestly not found with any cocaine except the empty baggy, and no arrest was made. He does not live in the state of michigan where the supposed bust took place.

I just read an article that had me curious on how double jeopardy works in traffic accidents for deaths.

Lets say you get into a traffic accident and someone dies. If they issue you a citation, but don't charge you with manslaughter and you plead guilty to the citation, you can never be charged with the manslaughter if the manslaughter charge isn't issued before the resolution of the citation correct?

What happens if you get into an accident, get a citation and then a year down the line the person injured dies and the death is determined to have been caused by injuries originating in the accident? Can you then be charged with manslaughter or would it be a violation of double jeopardy?

A few weeks ago a co-worker of mine (I am a supervisor) got into a yelling match with me over me asking him to do something he didn't want to do. He did not directly threaten me verbally at this point, but he is twice my size and was attempting to intimidate me; including him coming up close to me and asking "You wanna say something to me?" In a threatening tone. I contacted our director, and the other supervisor, to alert them to this. The other supervisor comes in because they live close and I was very much under the impression I was not safe at work. The co-worker that threatened me returned; thinking I was out of the office, he began to brag about how he was about to come back in and attack me.
At this, I ask him to leave for the day and all hell breaks loose. He and the other supervisor start screaming at one another, as myself and other had to hold the two back from one another or there would have been a fight. Finally he leaves the office, and having heard what happened, our director comes in to speak with him. Our director leaves, the asshole who threatened me got to work the rest of the shift. I was promised that the situation would be resolved and I was more than happy to be patient. Weeks have passed and literally nothing has been done, even the bare minimum that the director promised.
Now when have HR coming in tomorrow with an eye to fire all three of us involved. I'm at my ropes end with this company, and I've been told by a few people that if I'm fired that I'd be in my right to sue them. Is there any truth to that?

I am buying a house in Iowa where there is a hot tub. The current owner, B, was previously selling this house on contract, and the buyer bought said hot tub. He last made a payment in January, then moved out of state has not responded to a certified letter from B who had to go through a bunch of legal bullshit to regain ownership.

From what I understand, this guy has one year to come claim his stuff, which really seems like it won't happen. Is that one year from when the certified letter was sent? It's also legally supposed to be in "storage" (I guess just sitting where it is with the cover on collecting leaves) so my real question is: Could I be in any... hot water... if I clean it up, fill it, and do some soaking with topless babes in it before it's officially mine? Chances are he won't show up, and if he does he won't care; I'd just like to know what I'm getting into.

I'm 21 years old and physically disabled in my lower-ligaments enough where I use a walker as an aid. Without getting into the weeds of it, my family acts as my landlords. I receive SSI, Medicaid and pay rent, have a lease etc. My mother will routinely invite me to stay on their property which is an exotic duplex as a tenant -- later get tired of me and bully me into finding a new apartment nearby. Rinse lather repeat. My mother will use any favor or assistance, be it food, function as transit to thumb over me. In my current area, there aren't many resources at my disposal. My condition seems to be getting worse, as she becomes more belligerent and neglectful with time.

It's about that transition time again, and I want out of this loop. I haven't been dubbed incompetent legally and have touched base with shelters and transitional housing organizations.

I have a means to the Greyhound but if my family tries to bar my efforts how exposed am I? I'm worried about being in some way institutionalized at the hands of my family or during my travels. If my mom tries to make a legal case to be my guardian do I have to stay put? If she calls the police? What about once and if I set foot off the Greyhound technically homeless?

A buddy of mine recently arranged to get a half gram of coke off someone at his work. The co worker ended up having his mom drop it off to him and now he is paranoid that the woman was a confidential informant or undercover cop. The coke she gave him was real and was really good he said. My question is are confidential informants allowed to sell drugs or just buy them? And if it was an undercover would my friend have gotten arrested on the spot or would they contact him later? It's been a few days and he hasn't heard anything yet. Have any of you heard of anyone getting busted from buying a small amount of drugs off of a CI? Or do they usually just bust dealers?

Hello. Basically, my parents died, and my brother and I were supposed to inherit their stuff. Some family members tried to steal things, and then they all died too. But they messed up the process before dying (they also stole a bunch of shit, but it was years ago and doesn't matter now). We inherited some land, and they had tried to sell it. So the land was locked up and we had to get a lawyer to get it back for us. He is basically working for free, doing us a charity.

We were able to sell a house (it was pretty much destroyed, father was a hoarder, mother an alcoholic) and we sold a small thing of land. I got money from both of those transactions. Now we are trying to sell the last bit of land.

The lawyer needs tax records or something, and he is trying to get them from the people in another state where the land is. I haven't spoken to him in months. My brother was taking care of everything, but honestly, I don't trust him.

My question is, should I call the lawyer and ask him what's going on? To see if there is anything I can do, or if the land has been sold or something? Since he is pretty much working for free I don't want to make him mad, but I know that's a stupid fucking reason not to contact him.

This process has gone on for years, and i just want it to be over now, i'm constantly reminded of my dead family

Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

>tl;dr trying to sell inherited land, lawyer is working for free, i don't trust my brother fully, haven't heard from lawyer in months, how do i go about getting the money and ending all of this

I am VJ'ing on community television in Vermont very soon, and wanted to know what the popular opinion, and legality of wearing a Guy Fawkes Mask on television was. I will be playing heavy metal videos and emceeing in between videos. My script only includes topics of sex and drugs.

Is there anything I should be aware of?

Recently I had to visit a fuckawful local hospital trying to get help detoxing from alcohol. I made it maybe a mile but couldn't quite get the rest of the way due to the symptoms so I had to call an ambulance.
One came soon enough but a cop came at the same time for whatever reason.
Both asked me questions such as when I last drank and I said like 12+ hours ago and if I was drunk then. I said something along the lines of 'if I were drunk I wouldn't be having this withdrawal.'
The cop wanted to search my bag and I let him because fuck knows why I was suffering hardcore. I had nothing illegal in there though I did have two unopened beers, one from a 6 pack which he surely saw. The only other sorts of drugs in the bag were OTC or prescriptions in my name, none narcotic. The car had absolutely nothing incriminating inside but it was not searched and even in that state I wouldn't allow that much.
I had also not recently used weed or received narcotics legally. (I may be an alcoholic but at least I know not to fuck with pills I'm not prescribed.)
I think the cop and EMT talked a minute but I'm not sure because I was delirious at that point. Anyway the cop fucked off and the EMT asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital. Don't know why he'd go full retard there because I've never been asked that after calling 911. Surely he didn't think I was just having another panic attack with all the shakes and sweats.
Anyway I went to the local hospital, worst in the state BTW and proceeded to be treated like a complete waste of bed space. I'm in there a lot for other health problems but this time they didn't even bother with blood tests or anything else and I didn't lay eyes on a doctor the whole time. HOWEVER knowing my tolerance and poor metabolism due to early liver disease I highly doubt I was below the legal limit even after all that time just due to how much I drank so quickly.
I know I'm being paranoid but I just need someone to tell me; can I be charged or convicted with DUI or a lesser charge even with no evidence against me? Even if just brought into court for it and found NG I think my family would lose their last shreds of respect for me.

Have crime rates only gone down because weed and other drugs are no longer punishable by prison time for possession?

Alright, I live in BC, and I work as a security guard, subcontracted out to a mall. Today, a clerk who directly works for the mall was really getting on my case about throwing loiters (RE:Natives) out.


Near the end of my shift a native man walks into the mall and wants to use the bathrooms. Only the supermarket is still open at this time, so I inform him there isn't a public bathroom right now. He understands and sits down at a chair. Not long after another man walks in and they start talking. This clerk is watching them like a fucking hawk and when the second man hands the first man some change, she immediately signals me to throw them out.

Turns out the second man is a fucking band counsel member and isn't happy. I tell him it's mall policy that loiters are thrown out. He says he's going to discuss this with the rest of the native counsels. The clerk then confronts him, and seems to have massively escalated the situation.


Question, am I completely fucked from a civil court standpoint? (Remember, This happened in British Columbia)
