So long as the police follow a regular and verifiable pattern of stopping cars, there is no constitutional issue. This can mean every car, every third car, every red car, etc. It could possibly extend to every foreign car, but I don't recall any language specifically on point for that. In order to show discrimination, there has to be some showing of discriminatory intent on the part of the police. Showing a disparate impact on people of [protected class] isn't necessarily enough, although it will weigh strongly in court. If the police were stopping every Cadillac Escalade with spinners or Honda Civic with a huge gently caress-off spoiler, that would probably be unconstitutional. Also, I'm an attorney in Tennessee and I'm happy at least to read and maybe to answer any questions via pm or email if you don't want to post it in the thread of some reason.

nm posted:Let's assume that you are receiving the refunds and products legally, this is a big assumption as rebates on a used product happens precisely never. I think you're looking at it backwards. This sounds in principle more like buying something on sale at Target and then returning it to WalMart at full price.

Green Crayons posted:Replace "prosecuting attorney" with "officer who wrote the ticket," and that's what I've seen go down. Namely because I've never seen a prosecuting attorney in traffic court. I've dealt with prosecuting attorneys in some Tennessee counties for tickets against commercial licenses, but they are prosecuted in sessions court so it wasn't really traffic court.

I am a Tennessee lawyer and I am not addressing your case specifically, nor am I giving you legal advice on this matter. I don't normally handle debt collection. Until you have been served with a summons to appear in court, it is not a lawsuit. No matter how official a letter looks it does not mean you are being sued. I'm not answering the rest of your post because I do not know that area of law or enough about your situation. I wouldn't go out of my way to tell them that I owed the money 3 years ago, though. If you're in Knoxville, send me an email at my username at gmail and I can try to help you out.

Iakona posted:I'm in Arkansas, and before you tell me I already know I'm an idiot. What sort of defenses do you expect an attorney to raise for you, public defender or otherwise? I don't know Arkansas law that well, but as I recall it's similar to Tennessee law (law school in Memphis so it covered some Arkansas and Mississippi law). If you were in an accident the officer can check both parties insurance regardless of fault. You are required to have insurance and did not. You're unlikely to have some neat legal legerdemain that gets you a not guilty, and a public defender is just as capable of making a good plea deal as a private attorney. Save hiring a private criminal defense lawyer for when you have a better case. This is not legal advice as I do not practice in Arkansas, I do not know the details of your case, etc.

MrNemo posted:Question regarding contracts in UK law (not sure if that's something that's likely to be a deciding factor or if this is a more general thing) but if a contract has numbered clauses and the person that put it together managed to totally misnumber them (so there are two clause XII's and no clause VI or IX) is this likely to have any effect on enforceability of said contract? It's commonplace to have a heading in a contract specifying that the numbering and titles are for convenience only and in no way intended to be considered when interpreting the contract. Even without that clause, any judge in any court in which I practice would probably tell me to shut up if that were the crux of my argument. Obviously, if there is some ambiguity from it (like an important clause that refers back to Section XII and it would really matter which one it meant), an issue exists.

betaraywil posted:IANAL, but I'm pretty sure we got rid of debtors' prisons. I deal with child support contempt defendants regularly, many of whom are incarcerated with a purge payment set. If they make the payment, they can leave at any time but otherwise they serve up to 180 days. If you are under a court order to pay (or do anything else) and you don't do it, you can be charged with contempt of court and face imprisonment.

I assume similar organizations exist for the other grand divisions, but I deal with the east Tennessee variant. If you are in Sevier County there is a fair chance I represent your boyfriend on a related matter so I will not say anything else regarding this matter.

woozle wuzzle posted:I could be wrong, this is just half-remembered from the bar. Either way, we end up at the same place of call the trustee. I don't handle probate, but my recollection from prepping for the Tennessee bar is that you must specifically exclude a child by name in order to eliminate that share. In this case, the fifth child would get to collect a share.

http://www.wbir.com/news/article/283997/2/Judge-orders-babys-name-be-changed-from-Messiah Y'all might enjoy this! I was in court on a couple of unrelated cases last week and got to see this hearing. I didn't say anything because I have a lot of business in front of her, but I don't agree with this decision. This is the same court that literally opens with a prayer asking that "justice be done in the eyes of our savior, Jesus Christ."

Diplomaticus posted:They have appellate courts in Appalachia? While I'm exaggerating some, check out the local breakdown: http://www.city-data.com/county/religion/Cocke-County-TN.html Judge Ballew is a child support referee, which is basically a special master with jurisdiction over setting support, support contempt, and name disputes. Appeals from her court go to the county Chancellor or one of the Circuit judges for the district depending on the origin of the case. Appeals from there go to the Eastern Division of the Court of Appeals, which consists of four non-Jewish judges. After that is the state Supreme Court which probably has at least one Jewish justice but I've never been in front of them so I'm not that familiar with them. Is there a better thread to discuss bad rulings? This is the only legal thread I follow.
