| [MD] My employee at my liquor store confiscated a borrowed ID. Posted: 09 Jun 2018 05:35 AM PDT Last night one of my employees confiscated an ID that an underage patron attempted purchase alcohol with. The problem is it wasn't a fake ID and instead was borrowed from what appears to be her sister. I'm a bit nervous that she went too far in taking a state issued id and instead should have just refused service. Any advice here would be great! [link] [comments]  |
| My boss made me delete a contact and an app from my personal phone. Posted: 09 Jun 2018 07:08 AM PDT So I work in sales ( in Illinois, US if that matters) and there's this guy that my sales manager and I are both pursuing romantically. He's one of her customers, not one of mine, but he gave me his number and we've been talking for a couple of weeks. Things have been going well. Yesterday, my sales manager told me that I had to delete his number, all of our texts, and the Kik app (which we've talked on a lot) entirely or she was going to fire me. She claimed that he complained about me using his cell number to contact him, but he's the one who gave me the number in the first place, with personal contact in mind so I don't think that's true. She made me delete everything right in front of her, then said she wasn't going to escalate the issue to HR or our district manager, which seems fishy if there was a legitimate complaint. I think she just doesn't want me contacting him because he's her customer and someone she's romantically interested in. My question is: if my phone isn't company property, can she force me to delete contacts, messages, or apps? [link] [comments]  |
| (MA, USA) Can my employer cancel a cashed paycheck? Posted: 09 Jun 2018 05:54 AM PDT Hi reddit, I need some legal advice. Recently I started working as a dental assistant, I had no prior training and I found the job very stressful, especially my boss. She was very abusive and the environment was just plain toxic. I can go into it if I need to. I'm a shy person and am very scared of her, and as a result I did a really shitty thing, I quit via email. I know it was a dick move but I literally could not face her again. Anyway, I was paid by direct deposit on thursday (6/7) and I checked my balance today and I was negative $300. My paycheck had been reversed. The only thing I can think of is that she did it in retaliation. I mean those are hours I WORKED. Is this even possible? Is what she did legal? Did I quit illegally? What do I do? Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| [Ontario] Update to Feeder Employee. Posted: 09 Jun 2018 01:49 PM PDT Hey everyone, I really didn't expect to have an update so soon, but my husband found something new last night and I just spent 2 1/2 hours on a skype call with my lawyer (while he's on vacation, bless his heart) so here we are. I'd also like to thank everyone who left comments in my last thread and helped me come around to waiting for my lawyer (even if it didn't go that way in the end). The majority of you were really kind and informative. Also my last post was at risk for doxxing according to mods, so I'm going to be much more vague with this one on locations / website data. Mods, if you want something else changed please let me know. So, onto this weekend's events. Lots of people were saying my best bet at this point would be gathering together the evidence of sick days lining up with photoshoots, so I brought all my work files home and started to go at it. Eventually I got too emotionally tired and started crying, and so my husband took over to do some of the match up work for me (he was already aware of what was going on, as he was present when I found Sarah and her husband's pictures online). While I had taken a bunch of screen shots I really had avoided looking at the actual pictures out of a mix of awkwardness / anger, and fixated on the dates listed more. However, at one point my husband called me over and asked me to look at a particular set. Because of our field, my office has a large store room where we keep items used for set up. One of her picture sets had been taken in this store room over the weekend and had a title somewhere along the lines of "Naughty Work" (but not that). To give a bit of an idea of how this was even possible, my building doesn't have key locks we have a code pad system. My employees all have the codes, and it's not uncommon for any of my employees to visit the office on a weekend to do extra work or even just grab something they forgot to take home. All of that data is saved however, so I then pulled the keypad records from our server and sure enough, her code was used the day before the album was posted. At this point I'm ashamed to say I lost it pretty hard and started screaming at the screen. It took a few hours for me to calm down, and then I called my lawyer on his personal cellphone which he said is allowable in an emergency. He picked up, I gave him a short run down and he told me to give him a half hour to finish lunch and then he'd call me right away. I laid everything out for him (he tactfully avoided asking me how I found this profile aside from "did someone send this to you, did you have reason to look for it, or did you find it accidentally?" which was nice of him) and then asked him what we could do. My lawyer has said we have absolute cause to fire her without worrying about a rebuttal of this being because of her "condition" / weight gain, and that the best thing will be to have security at the door Monday waiting for her with everything at her desk boxed up and a formal letter of her termination. He then suggested something I hadn't even thought about, which was needing that store room professionally cleaned (they used a plastic sheet but still...) and how to recover the cost of that from Sarah, as well as sending off a take down request for the album as my company logo is visible in at least two portions of it. He did tell me any of the accommodations I gave her without asking for a letter of disability were on me and not pursuable. At this point I'll probably just get the cost of cleaning that store room professionally, and getting rid of Sarah, which is fine with me. My lawyer said he will be reaching out to a friend or two for help, as he's never faced anything quite like this. I told him that I could believe that, and that I was sorry to have to bring this to him. He joked that it was going to be one hell of a case study someday, and that if I need him for anything else related to this before he's back to give him a call. As for me, I'm going to take 3 days off work after letting Sarah go to process my hurt feelings like some of you suggested. Then I'm going to have to install a full camera system in my office space, start building a new set of HR policies and look for someone to fill Sarah's position. Again, thank you all for the advice you gave me even though I didn't end up needing it. [link] [comments]  |
| Masturbating neighbor, to each their own but this is getting old Posted: 09 Jun 2018 04:10 AM PDT I live in a smaller community where all the building are one level with five in each side of the building. I live at the end of the sidewalk. The neighbor directly next to me is very nice, works in the same industry that I do, never disrespectful. The neighbor next to him though is a bit of an exhibitionist or just a plain old creep. I've noticed before that his blinds will be cracked and he has porn hub on his giant tv. Okay, maybe he left his blinds open. This happened again, just the blinds open as I walk by so I just turned away. I was only running to my car to get something, couple minutes max. When I return to my apartment by taking the sidewalk that ends at my door he has propped the door open and is sitting on the couch nude. With both hands in lap and hands are moving. All I was trying to do was walk back to my apartment. Not see my neighbor masturbating. My bf came over later that night, same thing. Four days later same incident, door propped open sitting on his couch fully nude doing the same activity. I made a complaint to the apartment. Not sure what will come of it but I'm worried that children can see from the houses that are next to us. We're all ground level so the houses next to us can see right in. Makes me uncomfortable myself let alone thinking that maybe kids could see him or also come by. Although my side walk ends at my door many people walk their dogs, kids on bikes etc. I thought he was only doing it at night but last night when it happened again it was atill very light out. At what point can I call the cops? Can I call the cops? Location: TN Summary: neighbor is watching porn and masturbating fully nude with door to dwelling wide open to anyone can see. It's happened four times. Getting sick of it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2018 12:20 PM PDT I have been posting about this topic for a couple days now on the relationship_advice subreddit, but it seems now I could use some more technical legal advice. My daughter just admitted to being romantically involved with a former teacher of hers who she was close with throughout high school. I have reason to believe that he groomed her and has been manipulating her without her realizing but I don't have any solid proof of this, besides what my daughter has told me. Because she is a legal adult and she claims nothing romantic happened between them while she was in school, I'm worried that there's nothing I can do about the situation legally, but I wanted to check here first. You can see my most recent update here for a more in depth explanation: [link] [comments]  |
| [Australia] Partners workplace (school) didn’t inform her of a possible threat. Posted: 09 Jun 2018 06:26 AM PDT My partner works at a before and after school care, run on school grounds. A couple of weeks ago she rocked up to work at 0600 like normal, started preparing for the day with a coworker and their shift supervisor. She noticed that there was a lot less kids than normal at open time. She asked her supervisor why it was so quiet and she was told "there is an issue in the area at the moment. Everything is fine but a lot of kids aren't coming to school today". Very odd, but okay. At 0830 she saw a couple of police officers rock up and standing at the front gate. The police asked her how long she had been here for and were surprised when she said for about 2.5 hours. The police didn't actually know her service would be open that day. She asked them why and they told her that there had been a bomb and shooting threat at her school and all students were advised to not attend that day, but the school was open at 0830, which is why they only arrived at 0830. She was, understandably, quite upset because she had no idea about the threat and her supervisor hadn't given her any information. She says she still would have come to work, but knowing what was going on could have at least prepared her in case anything was to happen. She isn't allowed to use her phone at work (pretty standard) so she didn't really have any way of looking at the news other than by her supervisor. One of the other staff told her that her supervisor had called her husband as some point during that morning and told him something along the lines of "there has been a shooting threat at the school, so I'm just letting you know in case anything happens". The principal of the school came down later and also said he was surprised they were still operating (school care is owned by a separate company). Apparently the school had sent out emails and text messages to all parents and staff (including her work and any contractors like cleaners) about the incident. My partners company did not pass the information to her or her colleagues and looks like nobody had informed the police that they would be opening at 0600 and accepting children at 0630. I was quite angry when she told me, because I had read it on the news that morning, but had no idea it was her school. She shared a link on her Facebook page about it and I commented something about the managements incompetence for not letting the staff know what was going on which her manager saw and messaged her "I saw your boyfriend commented on your post". She replied saying "yeah, he is angry about it". I just want to know what the companies duty of care is for their employees for this type of situation. In my opinion, they should at least be informed in case they need to stay home or make other arrangements. They haven't apologised about the incident or even acknowledged it which I think is pretty trash. Most of the people that work there are university students around the age of 20-25 and think that by raising concerns they are going to get in some sort of trouble or stop being rostered shifts. I want to call her companies HR or management to ask what their policy is on informing staff about these situations and want to know why the shift supervisor was informed but did not inform the rest of the staff, but my girlfriend thinks I am going to cause drama or lose my cool, which I won't. Is this a good idea, or is there another way I should approach it? Tl;dr Partners workplace had a bombing/shooting threat, company was informed the night before, staff were not informed, found out from police about it, would like an apology and for them to put in place an action plan for these types of situations going forward.

| Posted: 09 Jun 2018 01:50 AM PDT Incoming wall of text. (Apologies for formatting, on mobile) Little backstory. MIL has always been a pain in my side and embarrassing in public to the point where I avoid her if I can. She lives in Florida and me and my wife live in Alabama (Houston county). MIL has a record of battery and erratic behavior in her county for beating my wife from before we met and is currently being investigated for interference of child custody on an unrelated matter. MIL had co-signed for our home and ever since has been trying to use our house as a go between and we have been paying the mortgage since day one. The whole current situation falls back on when my MIL was staying the night at my house to keep from having to drive a long distance. She had asked my brother to go to the store to get her an SD card. She told my brother to take her car. Unbeknownst to him the car had a flat tire and while driving he stopped on the shoulder to put on the spare and the car slid off the jack. At the time we noticed no damage but upon driving we noticed the the brake rotor making a noise and took it home. We immediately informed her of the situation and she instantly started calling my wife names accusing her and my brother of attempting to hide it and stormed off. Back to the house issue. Ever since the car incident she has been slandering me, my wife, and my brother threatening to go to his parole officer with false claims saying that he took her car without her permission or knowledge. She constantly harasses all of us on social media and we have blocked her on all forms of communication and stopped paying for her cellphone. She claims to want to make amends but randomly reverts back to claiming we're all working against her when all she's done is help us and how changes her story saying how we are brain washing each other. Now she is wanting to purchase a new house for herself and asked if we'd sign a paper stating she doesn't make the payments at my house so she can get approved for hers. Everytime my MIL and wife disagree, MIL starts yelling and arguing to the point where she'll make threats against my wife, claimed she was sleeping with my brother, has HIV, telling my wife's family she's spoiled and has been lying to the rest of her family about the situation and the list goes on. We've attempted to sever all communication with her but everytime she contacts a family member to relay information or shows up at my house unannounced harrassing my wife and myself and refuses to do anything civilly. I work full time and am a full time college student and every day I have to constantly worry about my MIL invading my life and privacy. She has since threatened to contact local police claiming she wants her belongings (which there is nothing in the house that belongs to her, anything she had left at the house was returned to her at a previous date) and she wants her keys (to the house). Today she entered my house while I was in my office uninvited, and the wife was gone. MIL then entered my office and began questioning and reprimanding me asking what she had done to me and that she had done nothing wrong. After 15 minutes of our verbal altercation I had had enough and informed her that things needed to stop going the way they were in a loud and vocal manner. I've had enough and was wondering what are my options. I don't want her there and I am tired of her drama and issues. What can I do? Restraining order? Quit-claim deed? [link] [comments]  |
| URGENT — Parents withholding 18-year-old son’s medication Posted: 08 Jun 2018 09:23 PM PDT (I'm on mobile. Hopefully this formats okay—please let me know if it doesn't.) Hello! This is urgent. My best friend (18) is female-to-male transgender. He recently got cleared to take testosterone injections, and is getting them through Planned Parenthood. His first shot was to be this upcoming Tuesday. However, unbeknownst to him, today the pharmacy that his testosterone prescription was sent to, called the home number instead of his cell (we both graduated very recently, so he is still living with his parents, or was until today), where his incredibly emotionally and physically abusive parents received the message that the prescription was due. They showed up, gave his birthday, signed illegibly, and just walked straight out with his hormones. Here's the kicker, not only did they do this despite having at least some knowledge of HIPPA, but they are now actually withholding his medication, even though they know exactly how illegal it is. These people are insane. Planned Parenthood supposedly cannot get a new prescription because the fault lies with the pharmacy. My friend is desperate; I'm posting for him because he doesn't have a reddit, and he's more distraught and despondent right now than I happen to be, understandably. What should he do (or what can I do to help him)? He needs his testosterone; this was supposed to be his first dose and psychologically this has hit him really hard. If you have ANY guidance, it would be greatly appreciated. His car was also confiscated because it was registered in his father's name, and he was told his father would be taking him off of his insurance. I'm thinking there's probably not much my friend can do about that part, but I figured it was worth a mention. I'm far more concerned about the controlled substance being unlawfully withheld from the patient who is no longer a minor. Thanks so much in advance. I'm really worried for him. Edit: I'm in Florida, US. Edit #2: Update—He has talked to his pharmacy and reported the issue to them; they're taking it very seriously. It has been confirmed that his parents were definitely the ones who picked up the prescription. (Fun fact—They said this verbatim to my friend: "We're above the law. We follow the law of Jesus." Tell that to a court of law. Ugh.) He is planning on leaving home as soon as possible although he hasn't moved out yet. He does not want to contact the police and I understand why; (1) He doesn't want to escalate things. For example, just like how most of my other friends who have been abused their whole lives by parents (it's far more common than people imagine and I've seen the ugly truth firsthand while staying over) they don't call child services because it would end up being more inconvenient and stressful for them; it's easier to deal with the bullshit and then get the hell out. (2) He does have a way of paying for his T continually that isn't affected by insurance; I don't know what it is exactly but he has a good head on his shoulders and is one of the smartest and most reasonable people I know, so I trust that he is making a good decision. (3) The police in our area don't have the best track record of dealing with minorities; I'm actually ftm trans as well although I am not on testosterone as of now & I've, for lack of a better term, seen some bullshit. :-/ Thank you all so much for the helpful suggestions. If you have anything else to share I'd still very much love to hear it. <3 Edit #3: Forgot to mention that he has a new prescription heading his way from his pharmacy, and all contact info has been changed to just his. There has also been a warning placed on his account about him being the only person permitted to pick up his medicine. The head pharmacist was apparently very kind and helpful. Thank you for helping me assist my friend in what route he should take. [link] [comments]  |
| Woke up in my hotel’s doctor’s office faced with a 900€ bill Posted: 09 Jun 2018 08:55 AM PDT I'm 19, Estonian and in Bulgaria on vacation with friends. Yesterday my drink was spiked at some point and I have no memory of what happened. From what my friends told me: I could barely walk and vomited a lot - eventually one of them took me on a cab and she got me to my hotel. Next thing I remember, is waking up in my hotel's patient room with an IV drop attached. I took it off and was about to leave - I was confused and saw no one, but before leaving the doctor told me to take a seat. From what he said, he picked me up from 'far away' and said I need to pay for the "doctor's visit". This would be a non-issue, however it turns out the health insurance that is automatically offered by parents' credit cards is only in effect if the cardholder is on the vacation as well. So now I have no health insurance to pay the bill, I do not have the money to pay for a doctor's visit I haven't even consented too nor gone to knowingly. I do not have any clue on what to do, my parent's cannot spare 900€ at this moment either for a completely unexpected and ridiculous ordeal. What happens if I don't pay the bill? Is it possible they scammed me into this (friend brought me to hotel - but doctor retrieved me from "far away")? Are there any other institutes in the European Union I can turn to for the financial aid? edit: Too>To [link] [comments]  |
| (USA, IL) Employer didn't want to bring in an applicant due to the color of their skin Posted: 09 Jun 2018 12:44 PM PDT Applicants name was changed. We are looking for new hires for a positon at my office, while taking in applications from indeed we came across one from someone named Rakim. After looking over it and deciding that they had the right experience we wanted for the job, we asked the boss to clear them coming in. He responded that "he couldn't have someone working their with the most stereotypical jokey black name". After an awkward pause my coworker asked if he was serious. Boss replied that he "wants to keep his white Aryan brotherhood" and to not contact them. He has said rather rude things in the past but this was completely out of line, especially since this is a county job, so this person's taxes go to paying this awful man. I was wondering if there was anything I could do about this. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2018 12:15 PM PDT I make ~150k/year and my wife made close to nothing over these last few years due to a painful job search however she just inherited a TON of high-value property in Europe and South America (her grandmother was a very smart investor and unfortunately passed a while back leaving all of this to her) I know I have no right to any of this property by NY Law, nor would I want to use a divorce to leverage away what I agree is hers and her extended family's, but could this weigh in on the probable alimony decision the court is going to make or are they instructed to totally ignore family assets?

| New NYC landlords trying to kick me out of my apartment Posted: 09 Jun 2018 05:54 AM PDT My NYC apartment building was sold to a new company at the end of February. The previous management company was disorganized (taking a week to respond to emails, losing documents, referring to outdated leases, etc.) and never sent us an executed copy of the lease, which is up at the end of August. The new management company asked for a copy of our lease in April (after having cashed our March and April rent checks). They asked if I had an executed copy, and I explained that we never received one. I sent on a copy of the lease signed by myself and my roommates, but again, not executed. At the time this seemed satisfactory. Fast forward to now. Apparently the previous management company did not pass on any documentation to the new management company. They cashed our rent checks for March, and April, but never those sent (by certified mail) for May and June. We were told via email on June 8 that, as in their eyes we do not have a lease, we need to vacate the apartment by June 30 or sign a new lease that increases our rent by ~40%. Can they do this? What action can I take? Is it true that legally we don't have a lease? I assume that I can kiss my security deposit goodbye, too, right? Any help is sincerely appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Company was sold and I'm due a percent of it Posted: 09 Jun 2018 09:55 AM PDT Location: WA Back a few years I was going to change jobs but I was offered a pay increase and a 1% stake in the company. I accepted that offer and stayed with the company. The contract for the 1% stake was pending details for a couple of years and when I finally got it and signed it, it has vestment built into it. So my 1% would vest 50% right away, then 25% more after a few months and the last 25% after a year. I was fine with that because I figured I'd be staying around for a while, but then the company got sold weeks after the contract. So instead of 1%, I'll only be getting 0.5%. Do I have any legal recourse for getting the other 0.5% since the contract was delayed so long and seemingly set up so that I only get part of what I'm due? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| [CA] My stepmother of 3 months stole my father's entire estate Posted: 09 Jun 2018 12:33 PM PDT When my father was terminally ill, he met a lady that wanted to marry him, I'll refer to her as Tina. Against all reason, he married Tina. One week before the wedding he signed a will leaving his entire estate to me and my sister. He didn't own a house, and had all of his money in an online stock account. This was the case before he met Tina. He also setup an account for Tina funded with money from the sale of her home. Initially he didn't put her name on her own account, probably because she was being perused by creditors. Three days after signing his will, he signed a single set of documents with the bank in order to add Tina's name to her account, as his health was declining rapidly. Over the next 10 days or so, Tina submitted several sets of documents to the bank, for both his and her accounts. ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS TINA SUBMITTED USED COPIES OF THE SAME SET OF SIGNATURES. There are 3 signature pages, with both his and her signatures, and the signatures pages do not identify the account number. Further, notarization is only required by the bank when removing a person, not adding them. The day that my father signed the documents, he was hallucinating, confused, and on several high-risk meds. Texts from Tina, and his medical records document this quite well. We also have a letter from a doctor describing his condition, stating that he was unfit to make decisions about his estate that day. I think we have a strong case, but so far we have over $30,000 in lawyers fees, and may have to secure a bond for a preliminary injunction that will probably cost us about $20,000. My question is: whom do I contact to file criminal charges against Tina? By falsifying bank documents, she has undermined the Will that my father signed just 3 days prior. This has cost my sister and me tens of thousands of dollars so far, and is completely against my father's wishes. I would think that this is bank fraud, and must be taken seriously by someone, but when I search online, I see too many options. I need to know where to start. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 08 Jun 2018 09:27 PM PDT I live in an apartment complex by myself. I've lived here a year and a half and have never had problems until this month one of my neighbors decided he had a personal vendetta against me. I've been with my boyfriend for a little over a year. I have chronic pain that limits my ability to walk (osteoarthritis) and I frequently work double shifts where I'm at work from 8am-11pm. I always come home at 1 and 6pm respectively to walk my dog on these days as I live super close to work, and some days (usually 1-2 days a week) my boyfriend will stop by to walk her. He is my emergency contact and due to my chronic pain as well as anxiety and depression, he has a key to my apartment in case of an emergency. I have no other family. Last week I got a letter on my door stating that I have an unauthorized adult living in my apartment. I finally got a hold of my landlord three days later and explained that he doesn't live there. She kept telling me that my neighbors keep telling her he is there every day and I explained that yes, we are dating so he visits frequently but definitely not every day and besides, he doesn't live in the apartment. She keeps disregarding this and telling me she needs him to fill out an agreement. The reason I know it was the neighbor next door is because she asked why I didn't contact her sooner and I said that she hasn't been in the office. She claimed she has been and I was like well I'm not the only one having this problem, I know (next door neighbor) and (downstairs neighbor) have complained about it too. Then she told me that he is the one who complained without me even asking. None of my boyfriend's documents (drivers license, vehicle registration etc) are assigned to my address because he lives with his parents, however he doesn't have utility bills or a lease agreement because of that. but they don't seem to care to use that as proof that he doesn't live with me because "your neighbors have said so" I even asked them to please videotape my apartment if they'd like for proof and they just kept blowing me off. I don't want to get evicted over this and obviously my boyfriend doesn't want to pay an application fee or have his credit pulled for an apartment he doesn't live in and doesn't plan on living in.

| Posted: 08 Jun 2018 06:52 PM PDT Update: Headed to Sheriff's office now to file a report. Thank you all for the advice. As fo his visitation: we will continue with supervised visits on Sunday until otherwise stated by a judge. I have E-mailed my attorney regarding yesterday's events. I assume I will hear from him on Monday. Thank you all. If anything else comes up, I will update you all again. I really appreciate all the advice. Basically I have sole custody of our 4 year old daughter. The divorce was messy, and we have been in and out of court for the past 3 years. In December we had a court hearing regarding unsupervised visitation. (He has been on Supervised this whole time) The judge ordered that he must pass 2 drug tests, take anger management classes, & parenting classes. Once proof of all was given to my lawyer, we will "ease into standard unsupervised visits". My daughter has never been away from me for more than one night, & he has never kept her by himself overnight. That is why the judge said we would ease into it. Also, she went almost a year without seeing him. He chose not to come around. So we needed her to be comfortable with him, as well. He pulls in behind me in my driveway, and has some papers in his hands. Tells my daughter she is going with him for 2 weeks, and started telling her that she needed to get ready to go. I explained that he needs to discuss this with me, and NOT with her present. I had cold items in the car that needed to go in the freezer, and he would have to wait until she was settled inside, along with the cold groceries. He demands that I pack her a bag. He "has finished everything". I explained that he broke his court order by lying to the supervisor and myself on May 12th, and we have started the process to hold him in contempt of a court order. I reminded him that the judge said to "ease into unsupervised standard visitation." Also, my attorney has not received proof of anything. So, I will be going by the order I have. (Every sunday, supervised, for 6 hours) He said he could serve me those papers right then and there. I refused to take them, and said "I will see you Sunday. Please leave." He then threatens to take me back to court for "keeping him from her." I am going off of the paper I have. That is ALL I can do at thia time. Based on today, can he take me back to court for "keeping her from him." Summary: ex showed up out of the blue demanding to take my daughter for 2 weeks. She has never been away from me for more than a night. Judge said we had to "ease into unsupervised visits". I have no proof he completed the requirements to get unsupervised. I refused to let her go. Can I get in trouble, in the courtroom? (Sorry about format, I am on a phone) [link] [comments]  |
| Sister runs small boutique T-shirt company, found recently that her designs have been stolen Posted: 09 Jun 2018 04:59 AM PDT My sister is the wife of a football coach, and last year started selling clothes aimed at coach's wives and kids. It's by no means a main source of income for her, but she's gained a modest following and even had one of her shirts spotted at last season's NFL draft. This week it was brought to her attention that other little Etsy shops and even some larger websites were stealing not only the content from some of her shirts (i.e. "My husband doesn't care what play you think he should call"), but downright copying her exact layout, font, and design and selling it as their own. One Etsy shop has sold 39 shirts that are outright her original design; that's over $700 on a shirt that they stole! Does she have any recourse? Aside from just the overall disappointment in the small business community (her's is such a niche demographic already as it is) I understand copyright law in our state (Indiana) as essentially if you made it, it's your copyright. Is it even worth the legal battle/fees to act on? edited to remove business Facebook link [link] [comments]  |
| Landlord is trying to charge me 3 months of rent after lease expires, help Posted: 09 Jun 2018 04:55 AM PDT I need some legal advice related to a rental lease, here is a quick background: My lease ends on 6/30/2018 The lease term states: "The tenant must allow listing with a realtor 90 days prior to the end of the lease and showing during the period" We did not hear from landlord about lease renewal or listing/showing On June 4 we send an email to landlord saying: "We would like to renew the lease for another year, can we discuss the details? " We did not receive a response until June 7 therefore we started looking for apartments and found one On Jun 7 landlord responded "We can renew the lease", at the time we are in the process of applying a new lease so we did not respond to landlord On June 8 landlord emailed again and called, I did not pick up the call but responded in email "Sorry I am in a work meeting and can't pick up your call. Can I give you an answer by the end of the day" At the end of June 8 I notify landlord that I will move out Now landlord says " You notified on June 4, 2018 that you are going to renew the lease and then on the close (8:15 pm) of June 8, 2018 after delaying my response to your renewal request for several days, you have indicated that you have decided to move out. In this case, whether you move out on June 30, 2018 or not, you are responsible for rent until September 8, 2018 which is 90 days after your notification unless we find another tenant before then." My questions are:

| FIL says he is suing me because he can't volunteer at my children's school Posted: 09 Jun 2018 01:06 PM PDT My FIL is a train wreck. He wasn't around when my husband was growing up, and moved back to the town we live in several years ago. His second wife was a convicted prostitute and crack user, his third wife was an autistic alcoholic who committed suicide not long after they moved to our town. He has a history of making weird threats against me in particular, and has himself been committed to a mental institution at least once. I don't want my kids to have anything to do with them for these reasons and many others I won't post here. When I set firm boundaries he became enraged; threatened (among other things) to picket my office, publish a website about me, tried to get our local newspaper to publicly humiliate me, etc etc etc. Most recently, he tried to become a volunteer at my son's (public) school to try and get to them. Several family members let me know this, and I contacted the principal to ask if the same boundaries we have in the community can be enforced at school. I.e. that I didn't want my kids to have contact with FIL. School was amenable, principal called and left a voicemail with FIL letting him know these conditions. Just before this he was also driving by my house slowly, quite frequently. After the principal contacted him, he has been on a crazy tirade. Says he is suing me for "libel" and seeking "monetary damages." I know he has no money, and if he files a lawsuit will be representing himself. He is very angry that his plan to reach my children through the school system did not succeed. What if anything should I be doing? We are in NC. [link] [comments]  |
| [VT] Medical Liability in a Small Community Posted: 09 Jun 2018 08:46 AM PDT I'm a Physician Assistant Student and volunteer EMT. I live in a small community which is also a private boarding school. I frequently have students, faculty, friends, neighbors, alumni, etc. coming to my door to ask for medical help when someone gets hurt. As a community member with some medical knowledge and experience I feel I should be helping my community but I'm concerned about liability and unsure how to protect myself. Am I covered under "good samaritan" laws (I don't actually know what they are I've just heard that they exist)? Should I get personal medical liability insurance, can I as a student? Would I hire a lawyer to help me find the right coverage? How would I do it on my own? Most of the time I advise that the patient see a medical professional and I ALWAYS tell them that if they get any other symptoms or are concerned, etc to see a medical professional. I also say I'm a student who really doesn't know anything. But I worry that by cleaning scraped knees, putting on band aids, and suggesting over the counter medication I am putting my career in medicine at risk. Thanks for any help you're able to give.

| I tried to report the location of a wanted man and got hung up on Posted: 08 Jun 2018 10:59 PM PDT A man I know was arrested and found guilty of several counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14. He served his jail time and was on parol or probation? I'm not entirely sure which, since 2016. He seemed fine after his release then randomly he showed up in the state I live stating he lost his ID and wanted to know if I would rent him a hotel room. He has repeatedly texted me and I have not responded. The reason I even know this man is because when I was 14 he lied about his age and we had a friendship over the Internet. Which mirrored the grooming and abuse of his victims, but we never met when I was underage. Not important as I'm over 18 and no longer wish to be friends with this person once I found out all the horrible things he has done. We had hung out in public places until recently when I found out what he had done. I immediately called LAPD with his name, DOB, and the information that he was in Las Vegas. They told me to call this crime stoppers number. I did and they told me he was "wanted." They took the information I had and gave me a tip ID number in case I had anymore information (at the time I didn't know his exact location). He also fled the country when he was originally arrested. Later on he tells me the exact hotel he is staying and keeps begging for me to come see him. I call the crime stopper number, they asked for my tip ID, I gave it to them and they said they can't find a tip with ID. I said "ok then can I give you the information again with this new information of his exact location?" THEY SAY NO. I asked confused "why?" They said they are not allowed to create a new tip and that maybe if I call in the morning I can have them find the correct ID number. I'm just worried that he will leave by that time. Besides being super freaked out that he traveled across state lines to be near me, I want him to be apprehended for his crimes. I can't stand the thought of him committing more crimes and me not doing anything about it. Then they HANG UP ON ME. I call the Las Vegas police (where we currently both are) non emergency number and they tell me "well we can't do anything about it unless you are literally standing right next to him and then maybe we would send out a patrol car." I asked if I could give the information anyways she said "it's pointless I wouldn't write it down anyways. You telling me won't make anything happen." What the hell Reddit? This guy was found guilty of serious crimes, obviously committed more crimes, is wanted, and I know the exact location but police and tip lines are refusing to take it. What do I do? They told me "well maybe he will turn himself in." He fled to another country before and is fleeing now. So obviously he won't be turning himself in. I don't understand why no one will take the information. Las Vegas police said MAYBE they would send a patrol if I was literally standing next to him. I'm not risking my safety on a "maybe" a cop will show up. Location: Las Vegas (where we both currently are). As far as I know crimes committed in Los Angeles, where he was originally jailed. TLDR: a man was found guiltily of doing some serious stuff to a 13 year old. He is now wanted again. I know his exact location but LAPD, Las Vegas metro and crime stoppers are refusing to take my tip. What do I do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2018 12:35 PM PDT I bought a computer from a guy off Craigslist. I asked if I could pay with a check and he agreed. Well, once I looked at my bank statement a week later, I noticed that the transaction was pulled twice. At first I thought this was just an error and called my bank. They told me the check was cashed twice but they didn't like the answer I gave them about buying a used computer off Craigslist so they put my account on hold until they can resolve the issue. I'm only allowed to withdraw money with my ID at a physical location, nothing more. Well, they called me back and told me to file a police report and they could release the hold from my account and refund the money so I went to the police station, filed a report, and that was it. I asked them if there would be an arrest and they laughed at me and said "Sir, between the multiple pages of warrants,, drug crimes, backed up court, and over crowded jail, it's never going to happen locally." Whatever, I faxed over the police report and waited a week before they called me back and denied my request! They can release the hold but can't return the money! Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get my money back? It seems the guy used mobile deposit and then physically cashed the check at a check cashing place minutes after. It was cashed back to back and the customer service agent said this is a common scam but won't give me back my money? [link] [comments]  |
| [NC] Can I mount my phone GPS on my windshield? Posted: 09 Jun 2018 11:05 AM PDT A lot of people mount their phones to their air vents, but I drive a small car where the view of the GPS would be obstructed by the steering wheel. I looked up the legality of mounting stuff on the windshield in NC and I am not 100% sure if it's okay or not. One website I read linked some legal document saying that screens were not okay to mount unless it was a GPS, would a phone being used only for GPS be okay? Also are there any specific rules about positioning? I have it tentatively placed under my rearview mirror on its side. [link] [comments]  |
