That's the thing, the landlord won't let us break the lease and legally he's under no obligation to do so, he's telling us we need to sublet/reassign.

I agree, I made a mistake by speeding, and I made another mistake listening to my parents advice to plead not guilty. I fully admit to being stupid. I didn't get the advice from TV or anything like that, though, I got it from people I trusted (one of whom is a retired cop) and apparently they were wrong, and now I'm on the verge of a panic attack because I need my car to get to work.

I've poo poo this thread up enough, I'm just going to try to change my plea and hope for the best; I've learned my lesson.

One of the security guys at my work fell asleep on the job, and while this may sound foreign to many of you, I work in a Gentlemens club, and the staff is allowed to have a drink or two in moderation. He had a couple that day and now my GM is not allowing him to have any drinks ( which really isn't a big deal), but the real issue is the GM is telling everyone from managers to staff to dancers (dancers are not employees) that he thinks the security guy "has a drinking problem" and "doesn't need him passing out upstairs again". I've known this dude a while, and have went and had a couple beers with him outside of work, and he is a big dude who could prob put a 6 pack away with only a slight buzz, and he more than likely just fell asleep because they overwork their security guys. Is there any legal repercussion my manager could face? It very much seems like grounds for a defamation case to me, but those seem like they are incredibly difficult to prove

Well, the stripper that I did taxes for was an independent contractor that, surprise surprise, didn't receive 1099s. Dunno if that is traditional or not, but I figured that they operated on the contractor model as much as possible. Next time I go to one, I will ask them whether or not they are wage employees or independent contractors and whether or not their employer submits 1099s to the IRS and SSA, and suggest that they contact the SSA to make sure these earnings appear on their social security statements.

I'm on board with the principle of due process and it doesn't seem right that so many places just use traffic tickets to generate revenue, seems like incentive to not follow process.

That said, people who seek out guides like this are not your 10-20mph over-on-the-freeway speeders, they are always the reckless assholes. Dudes like the Mustang driving Tapout poster that blew past me doing 90 in a 50 yesterday, or the street racing shithead who killed a girl I worked with a few weeks ago, really deserve to go out Paul Walker-style, just not taking innocent people with them.

I love how these guys can spend so much time and effort trying to beat speeding tickets instead of taking their stupid lovely cars to the track where people actually give a poo poo about racing. Oh man, totally smoked Joe Blow commuter in his Corolla over here, he's just trying to get some tacos but I am soooooo cool and virile, doing something everyone does literally every day, just recklessly fast (in a v6 automatic because I can't suck dick and shift at the same time).

I know what to do when your bridge collapses in Texas or your ferry runs aground. Does that help?
