Mulloy posted:Hopefully this is an easy/simple question: I literally have no idea who to talk to, lawyer wise, in Utah. I can find plenty of names in the yellow pages but I'm not specifically sure what to look for. Long story short my wife co-signed for a car a few years back, the owner defaulted, and since the collections folks can't reach the original owner and I answer my phone, they want me to pay. Obviously it was a bad move to co-sign for the car, but what I'm trying to find is someone in Utah/Salt Lake that can answer some questions on the subject, but I'm not sure who to start with. entris had good suggestions. If those don't work out, you might also consider contacting the Utah bar assocation - the state bar referral services are typically pretty good. http://www.utahbar.org/public/lawyer_referral_service_main.html

It's mighty dangerous to assume that the exclusionary rule applies in other jurisdictions the same way it applies in the U.S., since the rule has developed over a long period of time in each country in historically specific ways.

Check this out. Certainly a much more malicious scheme than what your friend is contemplating, but you can see what the repercussions might be if some assistant US attorney decided to come after her. http://www.ice.gov/pi/nr/0911/091123chicago.htm quote:Conspiracy to commit marriage fraud and marriage fraud carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Other immigration fraud counts in the indictment carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

If the facts shake out that the kids thought and say that they knew the guy was a church caretaker (or whatever he is) and that they thought that he was allowing them to fight there as a host, basically. You can extend that further by the kids testifying to the effect that the guy told them so.

SWATJester posted:How would that be relevant to a negligence case? Permission to be on the land isn't a defense. And consent is only effective as between the two fighters in their battery case. The church cannot consent for two other people to hit each other. So let me get this straight. If the church organizes an activity for kids and someone gets hurt either because it was a dangerous activity or because the church allowed the activity to be conducted dangerously, you don't see that this could create a case against the church?

Jeephand posted:So my very simple and naive question is: Where do you get a lawyer? Do you just look in the phone book? What do cops do when you insist on a lawyer before continuing? Do they back off or take you into the station and let you call a lawyer? If you don't have a lawyer in the queue what do you do? I know that in Minnesota, the cops have books listing all the lawyers either in the county or in the state - you either use that or a phone book. They'll give you a few calls to try to reach someone. Many criminal defense firms have attorneys on call who get calls routed to their cell phones. My friend who does this calls it the "drunk line" because most of the calls he gets are from people who have been arrested for DWI, but he does get calls from people arrested for other things as well.

There's a whole statute available for you to use to bring fear into the hearts of debt collectors: the FDCPA. There are any number of do-it-yourself FDCPA prosecution guide sites out there, and while I can't vouch for any of them in particular, I have seen FDCPA cases successfully prosecuted by pro se claimants. It'll get the debt collector off your back and - with some decent negotiating - could net you a few hundred (or few thousand) bucks in your pocket.

Tab8715 posted:Really, when I got charged with passing a school bus, I called up, gave them my fax and got everything with-in two minutes. Getting written discovery in a civil suit is very different from getting discovery in a criminal matter, in which the prosecutor is required to give you Brady evidence, for instance. I've seen even represented parties in civil cases not ask for the right stuff, and, consequently, not get crucial evidence. Hey, but you handled a minor traffic violation case on your own, so I guess whatever.

You also don't have to worry because the college will hire an attorney for him if she tries to sue or something dumb like that, which she'd have to do pro se or with a scummy attorney on an hourly basis because no sane attorney would take that ridiculous case.
