Is there assigned parking? Why not just ask your neighbor to move his car?

Wait, you asked him to move his car so you could get yours out, and he said no? We had a guy park on the street and block my driveway enough so that I couldn't move my car, so we called the non-emergency number for the police, they came out wrote the guy a ticket and had it towed. Try calling the cops first.

Can someone explain this to me? I don't even think it's fair that I should get cited for loving up my own car and damaging nothing else.

You didn't get a ticket for damaging your car, you got a ticket for running off the road. You were unable to control your car under the circumstances, and got a ticket for it.

That's what I've been doing, what I mainly want to know is how come it's possible to have a court date and not be told about it, with a letter, or a phone call or anything from the court or the lawyer? It makes it sound like to me that his lawyer doesn't really care about winning this case if he won't tell his client about the court date.

There is almost no chance your brother wasn't made aware of his court date.

Was I having a dream, or isn't it completely illegal for cops to set up checkpoints and just pull over X number of cars that are not seen to be performing any violations and request licenses and registrations? I'm not talking about times they set up with five cars in busy areas on summer holidays and they wait for drunks and speeders and whatnot to pull over, I mean pulling over drivers who aren't visibly breaking any laws.

Why would that be illegal? You basically agree to allowing the cops to stop you anytime they want when you get your license.

I did just this and gently caress. The lady at the juvenile court looked my record up and told me over the phone my charges and that they were still open to be viewed(which I thought was weird, confidentiality-wise). I'm going there Monday morning to fill out an expungement application. Funny thing is my attorney told me a year ago that these charges weren't accessible and was surprised that I told him otherwise today.

Why are you having a background check? There are some agencies that can view your record regardless of it being expunged or sealed.

What I did in return can be construed as assault, though I didn't hit him; I grabbed his shirt and told him to never say that to me again, or I'd report him for sexual harassment.

That wouldn't be "construed" as assault, it'd most likely be classified as battery. However much he was out of line, you went way overboard when you grabbed him. If any employee ever grabbed me like that, subordinate or not, I would make it my job to get them fired. He was probably, and very likely, way out of line with his comment, but you trumped his actions.

There's a guy who wants to kick my rear end. He's taken to shoving me and spitting on me when I see him in public. It's annoying and embarrassing, but I'm still not going to give him the satisfaction of a fight. I do, however, have a whole bunch of facebook screenshots, posts and chat logs where he has specifically stated his intention to do me physical harm over the past few weeks. Are these admissible? Can I get a restraining order or something? At what point can I take some type of preventative/retaliatory action?

Shoving and spitting is assault. If you're not going to fight him, call the police.

ok, but since i didn't have his address, I couldn't get the police to even charge him go talk to him.

So, find out his full name and get his address?
Other than "not giving him the satisfaction," is there a reason you don't just clock him next time he pushes you or spits on you?

Suppose you run into someone's fence accidentally (backing up with a big van for example). What are you typically liable for and is there any criminal potential? How bad would ignoring it be worst case scenario?

Is this a serious question? You'd be liable for the damage you caused to the fence. If the owner called the police, you could be fined or maybe arrested.

It's still pretty ridiculous, high $x hundred dollars to replace what's basically 6 feet of wood slats.

Fences are expensive to put up and to repair properly. That's why you shouldn't run into them. And if you do, you should be expected to pay the cost of repairs.

Kinda specific, but is anyone familiar with laws regarding minors being in bars in Texas? Basically, there's a 17 year old in a band that his 29 year old brother is also in. The parents, the owner of the bar and the local cops are cool with it, but on the off chance TABC comes in, is there an issue?

You can only use lethal force if your own life (or that of another) is in jeopardy, based on what a reasonable person would believe under the circumstances. It's not based on a crime being committed. Generally, once the intruder is retreating, your abiilty to use lethal force is gone.

This is entirely dependent on the jurisdiction. In some states, it is entirely legal to use deadly force to prevent a property crime.

Lately a lot of religious groups – Jehovah’s Witnesses primarily – but others also – have been canvassing my neighborhood and spreading “the good news”. I am just fine without their little visits. The next time some drop by I was thinking about answering my door naked – even inviting them in if they want to talk. Would this be illegal? After all, I’d be in the privacy of my own home. Do you think they would put out the word to their fellow proselytizers to avoid my place?

Or, you could answer the door and say, "Hey guys, I'm really not interested. Thanks, but no."
