SlenderWhore posted:Today, I drove by a police car who was holding out a speed gun. I was going 39/40 on a 35- but only because I was in the "far right" lane (it was a 4-lane road, and then there was a cut-off road off to the side, this is the one that I got onto) that you get on before merging onto a ramp to then merge onto the highway. I didn't get stopped but the cop was pointing the thing RIGHT AT me & it creeped me out so I wondered if I may have done something wrong? Aren't you supposed to accelerate when getting onto a ramp to enter the highway? I know nil about speed guns and was under the impression that they also took photographs of speeding vehicles so I wondered if there was a chance I might receive a fine in the mail. Handhelds don't take photos, or at last thy don't around here. It was probably a LIDAR unit, hich must be aimed at individual cars in order to read their speed. Don't worry about it.

Quick boring lease question to cleanse the palate after The GrumpyCat Show. In VA. I'm the tenant, month to month lease, rent is due the first of the month. State Landlord/tenant act says: "A. The landlord or the tenant may terminate a week-to-week tenancy by serving a written notice on the other at least seven days prior to the next rent due date. The landlord or the tenant may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by serving a written notice on the other at least 30 days prior to the next rent due date." I'm unclear on when the final payment due is. So if I give notice next week, can I say I plan to move out at the end of April, or am I still on the hook for May 1's rent? Basically, is it 30 days notice + final rent payment (effectively "30-60 days before you plan to move out") or does the >30 days notice before the next payment mean you can end the lease without penalty without making that payment? I hope I am articulating this clearly, maybe it's a dumb question, but it seems like it could go either way.

I did rent the place out for a few years when I went to business school just because I couldn't afford to sell it. I never made a profit, though some years I made "income" enough to be taxed (and some years I lost enough to reduce my tax burden...) If you can get out now do it.

Soylent Yellow posted:I have a question regarding British law. A customer (lets call her Mrs X) recently purchased a rather expensive item from one of my colleagues. To cut a long story short, she messed up the order to the point that the whole mess was escalated up to her immediate superior (me). I have been making every reasonable effort to solve the problem for Mrs X, going significantly beyond what is contractually required, but unfortunately every time I have one problem sorted, another one pops up. Today, I had to order a spare part for her, which is being posted directly to her home from our suppliers. This is not good enough for her, and she wants the part (which we don't have) right NOW, and is threatening to set up camp in our showroom to warn off all of our customers and would actively sabotage all of my sales appointments if she doesn't receive it. I was tired of putting up with her bullshit, so I told her that if she tried this, I would have her escorted from the premesis by the police. She responded that so long as she only politely told them that we are terrible and didn't cause a scene, the police wouldn't touch her. If she does decide to go ahead with her threat, under what circumstances can I get her rear end kicked out? You may want to try cross posting this in the ask a cop GIP thread, there are several regular posters there from your part of the world.

If someone wanted a will done in Virginia, how well would a simple home made write up that was notarized hold up in court? Edit: I am assuming it would be perfectly fine if not contested, just kind of curious about the worst case scenario.

Hot Dog Day #91 posted:So person A was arrested in Connecticut and charged with a DUI. Person A then wants to return to state S and ignore the charges in Connecticut? Even more so for a felony DUI. Basically if someone did that, it's up to the arresting jurisdiction whether they want to extradite. Common extradition terms for charges like that could be "bordering states only" or "will extradite within 500 miles". Or maybe no extradition at all out of state. Who knows. But regardless, there will be warrants put out for this scofflaw. They will have to deal with being detained in handcuffs and possibly arrested any time they deal with the police, forever, until this is taken care of. They may have trouble getting a job if it involves a background check. They will be considered a (low level) fugitive. This will never go away until they go turn themselves in. (I am not a lawyer but I used to be a cop)

Shaocaholica posted:Would there be some sort of time limit on an extradition warrant ? People can go decades without a traffic violation or any interaction with LE. Generally speaking, arrest warrants don't expire once issued. And the interaction when the warrant is discovered and served would not be a "sign here and promise to appear" situation, it's a "handcuffs, go to jail immediately and you might eventually get a bond" situation.

Zero VGS posted:His proposition to me is that I can write up a 1-year lease that has him paying a large amount in advance (i.e. double my rent for the first 3 months) in order to build up a reserve, give me visibility into his income, add language to make it easy to evict him ASAP if he falls behind on the reserve, and add language that says he can't discharge debt to me with another bankruptcy. This was all his idea, though he admits he's not sure how much of that would actually be enforceable here in Massachusetts. I can't speak to the contractual negation of the possibility of bankruptcy. And I'm not a lawyer. But I am a foreign service officer, and due to the weird way our per diem decreases over time, it's relatively common for my coworkers to structure leases this way (as renters and occasionally as landlords to one another) when they are in training in the DC area. I would caution you against framing it as building a refundable reserve. I would make the actual rent change on a schedule, so that you are actually owed the larger amounts up front, to compensate you for the risk you are taking on. This will let you build up your cash reserves for cash flow purposes, and you can retain the cash if things go sideways. Why the hell would you structure it with the intent to GIVE THEM MONEY BACK if they screw things up so badly that you have to kick them out?

BonerGhost posted:The guarantor thing is a big deal to me because if she fucks up my credit report, I have the inclination and ability to deal with it directly and the impact is limited. If she makes another mistake and sends something else to collections under my husband's name, it's much harder to fix with worse potential consequences. Dunno about the rest of it but a mistake on someone else's part should have no negative impact on your husband's clearance, even if it goes to collections. He just needs to document it/keep records, and explain it during his reinvestigation. It's an annoyance, nothing else.

spacetoaster posted:The police in my city have started randomly stopping cars to see where they're going. We are under a stay at home order and the exceptions are a long list of regular stuff (you can go out to shop for groceries, get gas, exercise, see a doctor, go to a necessary job, etc, etc). Not addressing the "random" stops issue because I'm not a lawyer, but a quick clarification of a common misunderstanding: probable cause is not the requirement for temporary detention in the USA. Reasonable suspicion is what you're looking for, which is a much lower burden to reach. Probable cause is what's required to make an arrest, or obtain a search or arrest warrant.

There are something like 15+ specific code sections addressing different things that are considered reckless driving in Virginia. They're all punishable by jail time. They're in 46.2 Chapter 8 Article 7. "Code of Virginia Code - Article 7. Reckless Driving and Improper Driving" https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodefull/title46.2/chapter8/article7/ Most of them specify that they only apply on highways. I'm not a lawyer and not familiar enough with case law to know which might specifically apply. Depending on the type of property, could be 46.2-864 "Reckless Driving on parking lots, etc."

It depends on the states Leperflesh. IANAL but in my state your recourse would be to unwind the deal and get your money refunded, minus a "reasonable fee" for mileage incurred which the state law caps at half the IRS mileage rate. Which is not ideal in the current market if you actually want the car. No clue if you'd have a claim for damages beyond that.

Organza Quiz posted:Back when I used to transcribe cases I typed one where a guy got pulled over for suspected drink driving, but before they could breathalyse him he drank half a bottle he had with him so as to obscure how much he had drunk before. I had a guy try this back in the day. It ended up being his 7th or 8th DUI arrest, his third conviction. He hopped out as soon as he was stopped, faced the police car, pulled out a pint of whiskey, and slammed it. Where he hosed up was getting back in his driver's seat to wait for the officer to come talk to him, which meant he technically resumed control of the car.

As long as it's not reckless driving by speed, it's not a huge deal (speaking as a long time Virginia resident, not a lawyer). If it's the reckless code section, get a lawyer.

There should be a code section number in the upper left corner of your summons where the offense is listed. Probably starts with 46.2. That's how you can figure out for sure if it's reckless or not.

Just so you know what's at stake - VA treats reckless as a class 1 misdemeanor, it's a criminal offense with possible jail time. Good luck.
