In Virginia private citizens can swear out warrants in front of the magistrate. When I was a cop we used to occasionally refer bullshit calls and mutual combat to the magistrate.

In a criminal case, would a lawyer be allowed to introduce a defendant's refusal or acceptance of a polygraph test as part of his case? I don't mean the test results, but the actual fact of refusal or acceptance. "Joe Defendant repeatedly refused to submit to a polygraph test," or, "Joe offered numerous times to take a polygraph test."

welp

my mother (and roommate) has lost it. How do I protect myself and my stuff from eviction and am I entitled to the back child support she is getting? posted:

I am 21 and I live with my mother. I go to college, which I took a loan out for, and work a job so I am rarely home but it is still my home. I've lived there well past the amount of time to establish residency in my state (OH). I pay rent in the amount of $100 a month for my room, to pitch in for other things. She makes me pay by the 5th of every month so my understanding is that this makes me a paying tenant.

We haven't gotten along lately because she wants to sell the house and move. I don't agree with her decision to move. It isn't even her house, it is my father's house. They've been divorced for 16 years and he bought and added on to that house and wants it back.

I am trying to figure out what my rights are as renter for her attempting to sell the house. She constantly has people in and out showing the house, including my room and bathroom. She hired a cleaning company to come in and clean my room (they moved everything around) without notifying me.

She is making updates to the house and will have people over banging on walls and outside working on things at all hours of the day/night.

She has recently had to have the air conditioner replaced on my area of the house and I was out of air for almost 3 weeks. Her suggestion was that I " rent a hotel room or move out." if I was unhappy with her progress.

She hasn't given me a notice yet to move nor do we have a signed lease.

She collects a ridiculous amount monthly in child support from my father. It is suppose to be back child support that he owes but I am 21 now so none of it is going to me. None of it has ever gone to me. She constantly buys herself new things, won't pay for my college, etc. When I was 16 and was suppose to be getting a car my father begged her to allot some of the child support money to getting me a car so I could get to class and be independent but she refused saying it was hers to do with what she saw fit. I walked, biked, and caught rides to school for the better part of 6 years while she used the money on her things.

She wants to move to Arizona to be with her new boyfriend and for her new job and that is fine. I want her to go but the house is paid for, I live there, and the amount in child support my dad owes me that goes to my mother could be used by me to pay for that house so I can continue living there. I might even let my dad live with me because he is having a hard time.
I tried to contact the court about forgiving my father's debt to me for child support because he asked me to but they said my dad and I would need a lawyer. Which we can't afford.

So, what options do I have here?

Questions:

Do I have the same tenant rights where she has to give me notice to enter my room and can I deny her? What about the air conditioning and the noise?

How do I go about either getting the back child support payments transferred to me or forgiven?

Does my mother have to give me 30 days to vacate or longer?

She recently installed cameras without asking or telling me. They record the front, back door, windows around the house and (since we've had a break in) the kitchen (with the french doors) and my patio doors that lead outside from my bedroom. The camera technically would be able to record me doing things on my patio. The patio I pay to use. Did she have to notify me first? Do I have any say?

And just a general question. Can I sue her for missus of child support funds? Or can my dad demand receipts for stuff she is buying? I am hoping there is just a form we can file in court when we go pro se
thanks for the help guys!

I think "no" as to both, but I'm going to ask around. I do know that there are some states where the test results are never admissible, and other states where the results are admissible if both parties stipulate to their admission; there may be a state by state difference in the answer to your question.

What an amateur. He needs to step up his game:

quote:

BG remembers that on July 4, 2003, he voluntarily ingested several of what Skinner described as “the Eucharist,” believing that the Catholic communion wafers that Skinner provided would be laced with LSD, as on previous occasions when Skinner had given them to G. G expected that the wafers would cause him to “trip,” but instead he was rendered completely unconscious. G testified that his next memory was of waking up naked on the hotel bathroom floor, with his hands, legs, and mouth duct-taped, and with Skinner standing over him, kicking him in the groin area as hard as he could and saying, “You should never have touched my fiancée; you should never have touched my fiancée.” G remembers that he eventually passed out during this assault and that when he woke up, Skinner was kneeling over him with a hypodermic needle, injecting something into his penis. G’s comprehension then got “extremely blurry,” and he has very few clear memories of the incredible torture that he was subjected to over the next four days at the Tulsa Doubletree and then at a Houston area motel after that.

Evidence presented at trial established that the torture at the Tulsa hotel included numerous and repeated injections by Skinner into G’s penis, testicles, buttocks, and other parts of his body, with the apparent dual purpose of permanently disabling and disfiguring G sexually and of keeping him in a prolonged state of unconsciousness, while he was being physically, sexually, and emotionally assaulted by Skinner. Skinner also brutally punched and kicked G in the genitals, lifted G’s unconscious body up off the bed by grabbing him at the base of his genitals, and wrapped a phone cord about G’s penis, put his foot on G’s stomach, and jerked until he heard “the cartilage snap.”

As someone who used to be a supervisor on a police force: Film it. Get you asking the cops to pay for it and them laughing at you and walking out. Then get an appointment with their precinct lieutenant (shouldn't be that far from you) and detail all of this + video/audio. Also, keep a log of the dates and times of the thefts with the officers names.

I would be willing to bet that this officer, or officers, are the station dirt bags and the lieutenant will kiss you on the lips for giving him what he needs to fire them.


However, if the lieutenant is a dirtbag too, give it to the local media*.

*Every reasonably sized city has a certain news team that the cops do not like because they report on them. Find and use that news team.

I have a 50 mile daily commute on country roads. Last week, an oncoming car started to pass a slow moving tractor and we would have hit head-on, but he saw me and tucked back in behind the tractor and everybody went on their merry way. It just got me thinking about what would have happened if I had to hit the ditch to avoid him and plowed into Farmer Bob's fence.

A couple of weeks ago he painted his fence bright red. It doesn't go with the color of his house at all and it's been an eyesore. There's no homeowner's association to make rules about this kind of thing so anybody can basically make their house any color no matter what. A couple of days ago I just had a bad day at work and was still feeling pretty steamed. I really shouldn't have looked out the window and looked at that annoying red fence. for some reason i got really mad and decided to do something about it. so i got some white paint, poured some in a tray, stuck my bare rear end in the paint and then walked over to his house and pressed it up against his fence. a few hours later he gets home and knocks on my door. he asks me if i knew anything about it to which i said i didn't. he then told me he knew it was me since the mark on the fence looked like rear end cheeks that were too large to be from a mischievious teenager or child. THEN he told me to pull down my pants so he could see if there was paint there. i had showered earlier so there wasn't, but i obviously told him "No." then he said he was calling his attorney. i haven't heard back from him. should I call an attorney myself or is he just bluffing?

A second DUI in Connecticut is considered a felony with a minimum mandatory 4 months of jail. If a person was licensed and registered in a different state, hours away, and returned to that state prior to their trial, how severe would be consequences be?

I had heard from a lawyer that the issuing state would have to send someone to get the person and only if they had been arrested and the warrant had shown up. But that the likelyhood of that happening was slim to none.

I guess what I'm asking is if that is true and how bad of an idea would it be to flee
