I'd have a chat with your landlord about the situation, they might care and be able to do something about it. If she's sleeping elsewhere, though, it might not be a big deal to them.

If I understand you correctly, you're renting a bedroom which comes with access to a common area. Unless she's actually in your room, she's not in the area you personally are paying for, and you don't have the authority to eject her. I'm assuming just staying in your room and locking the door isn't an option for whatever reason? (someone actually familiar with tenant laws where he's at feel free to smack me down if I'm wrong here)

Oregon: Bought a used car some months ago, was doing some work on it this week and discovered it had been in a massive collision at some point, and then more or less stapled back together. The mechanic said it should've been cubed at that point. Obviously, this was not disclosed to me at the time of sale. Are there laws governing this, and if so how would one go about filing suit? (Civil, criminal, small claims, what) It was bought off the owner, not a dealer, if that matters.

Could the use of antipsychotics be used to prove a preexisting mental issue? They'd have to prove the drugs themselves actually weren't working effectively, changing the issue from the drugs to the condition requiring their use. (ianal, just makes some sort of halfassed sense)

Before worrying about what countries will allow you to visit them, worry if you'll be allowed to leave this one during the suspended period. You may even have to get permission to leave the county/city, depending.

Matlock posted:Reposting here, from my thread in AI: IANAL: This sounds similar (but not identical) to a scam I've heard of. They'd sign everything, give you the car and the title, then wait a couple days and say "the financing fell through", get you back to the dealer to do more paperwork, then take the car while you're inside and demand more money. Your case sounds like they're just holding your plates hostage. The same principle may apply, and it does sound like they're fishing for more money. If you do go down there, don't take that car. Other than that, hope a real lawyer chimes in here.

The following is me being curious: In areas that utilize the death penalty, how are laws regarding premeditated homicide altered to make it legal for the guy who pulls the switch or whatever? Or are they? If this isn't how it's done, how IS it done?

RE: Recording phone calls (another hypothetical) If you are in a one-party state, I know you can record your own calls all you want. How does this work if the other party is in a two-party state? If you are in a two-party state calling someone in a two-party state, and they inform you that they're recording the call, do you have to inform them if you also intend to record it? Or is it enough that they are aware it is being recorded at all?

Google up "[state] renter's rights" - in most cases you can do stuff like pay yourself to have it repaired and then deduct it from your rent, if the landlord fails to get off their rear end. But READ THE RIGHTS first.

visuvius posted:About to go through a divorce. I bought a car BEFORE the marriage that is in my name, not hers. She has been driving it for the duration of the marriage but I was making payments. Now we have separated but she is not giving up the car. She refuses to tell me where it is or when she will give it back. Again, it is registered in my name and the bank owns it. What can I do? The idea that springs to mind is call the police and report your car stolen.

If you tell them the dog is making you look for another place, they're liable to just punt him rather than lose you, assuming they're not shitbags and you're a decent tenant.

Mr.Almighty posted:Just got called up from a collection agency apparently they had tried reaching me numerous times via cellphone quite a few times. I just talked to one of their representatives and tried to make a monthly payment plan of 200 dollars a month. However, they said that it's too late and they want the whole lump of 2000 dollars as soon as possible. I do not have that kind of money to just give away like that. They are now threatening to send a police officer down and serve me and are telling me I will have to owe around 5000 dollars in court costs and legal fees. I'd have a read over http://www.wyseguys.com/blog/archive/2008/01/08/debt_collectors_and_how_to_deal_pt_1.aspx before dealing with them further.

[IANAL] According to ebay's TOS, the auction is considered a contract, which you broke. If he does proceed, you may get in poo poo with ebay, since you did break their TOS, which states you may not "fail to deliver items purchased from you, unless the buyer fails to meet the posted terms, or you cannot authenticate the buyer's identity". It sounds like neither of those conditions was met when you decided to crawfish on the guy because he was a prick. I doubt he will do poo poo beyond bitch at ebay, since he's suffered no meaningful damages. In the future, give people tracking info quickly, and if they're cunts, give them bad feedback afterwards.

Oregon question. An application asks this: "I have NOT been committed to the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Services Division under ORS 426.130, nor have I been found mentally ill and been prohibited from possessing a firearm because of mental illness. True/False" This is 326.130. Is there a specific ruling that has to be made to the effect of "this person is batshit and should never own a gun ever" for this to matter, or do they just pull medical records? I wouldn't think they could do the latter without a release form, but really, who knows.

I get that, but it's asking "committed or found", which is what I'm trying to get defined. The person filling out the app has never been placed in involuntary care or involved in any legal procedure related to it.

Hypothetical/curiosity question, interested to hear answers from any jurisdiction: I install a dashboard cam in my car, pointing straight ahead, overlayed with time, lat/long, and speed, with no sound. I get a speeding ticket, and the recorded speed at the time/location of the ticket was legal. 1. Since the camera can't hear or see the cop, do any of the "recording without permission" laws apply? 2. How likely are they/the city/county/whatever to try and claim they apply, regardless of the answer to 1? 3. Will the video be worth anything as evidence, should I choose to contest the ticket? I'm considering a dashcam type project - in case anything cool happens in front of me, not for the purpose of getting tickets and fighting them - and this occurred to me as an unlikely scenario that was worth asking about, if only for fun.
