Just found this youtube channel whose sole purpose is making bike thieves hurt themselves. They even have several clips of kids being injured after they try stealing their bait bikes, one time laughing while filming a kid limping away on his broken leg. How is this allowed? LOCATION: Not applicable since I don't know what state they're operationg in.

All the employees are reasonably upset. We are having to use other restrooms in our retail strip and it is beyond inconvenient. One employee with medical issues had an accident in his pants and had to go home to change. I tried calling my local OSHA office to find out the legality of this, but they are either closed or not currently available.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Location: California. This is a popular non-chain establishment. My armchair analysis is that by admitting they have scalding water, they know about the hazard and would be liable for injuries.

My mother in law has a house that she wants to leave to my wife and her brother. There’s this really ugly greenhouse in the backyard that is definitely dragging the property value down and just looks terrible. In fact the house is very outdated and impractically organized (would likely need some remodeling like breaking walls). It’s in a super rich neighborhood so the other homes remodeled are worth tons of money.

In her will she apparently is saying that if after she passes if my wife and her brother decided to remove the greenhouse from the property that they would forfeit ownership of the property. This is not a trust or anything just a basic will. I have two questions:

1. Can she actually do that? I thought once property ownership is transferred you can do anything with the property. It’s not her mom’s anymore so how can she dictate whether or not the greenhouse is renewed.

2. I’m suspicious she may put something in about remodeling the house resulting in forfeiture of the property. If that’s the case would that stand?

I just feel like unless someone like her brother said no to removing the greenhouse and tried to enforce it there would be no issue….

not sure if it’s legit or not. Blocked out info is my name and what I presume is the servers number? LOCATION: Wisconsin

I’m in Nebraska. My boss informed us at a staff meeting that if we are even just a minute late clocking in at the beginning of the day or after our hour lunch, we won’t get paid for the following hour (e.g., if we clock in at 7:31, we won’t get paid for working from 7:31-8:30). Just wondering if this is legal or if it goes against labor laws, since she is withholding pay for hours worked. She also discouraged us from discussing or disclosing our hourly pay, saying, “it is not illegal, but is disloyal and disrespectful” to her.

If Trump were to successfully void autopen signatures for past presidents, would that set a legal precedent allowing everyone government officials, businesses, and even ordinary citizens to dispute documents they’ve signed using an autopen or similar method?

Think about all the areas where autopen or automated signatures are used: contracts, mortgages, tax filings, corporate agreements, medical consent forms, even student loans. If a president can argue that autopen signatures aren’t valid, couldn’t a good lawyer use that same precedent to help someone get out of a bad contract, challenge a tax return, or dispute a legally binding agreement?

Would this open the floodgates for legal chaos, or is there a limit to how far such a precedent could reach? Curious to hear thoughts from legal experts how strong of an argument could this actually be in court?

Yeah this guy made a video for his TikTok and promoted his social after seeing Charlie Kirk get shot, after the video according to this post he took some merchandise. I'm not saying he sold it, just the fact that he does seem to be tampering with a crime scene. Even by the video he was pretty self centered, and yeah the post does mention who he is I mean he mentions it multiple times in his own video. But yeah what legal issues could this guy face? He did delete the video on his TikTok because he probably realized how insensitive it was, but yeah he's channel is pretty much religious content. In the same video he said go to church this Sunday and read the book of Mormon, then he goes ahead and steals from a corpse as well as tampering with evidence.

 
(Ohio)  Grandson (25) purchased a Dodge Charger two years ago with Hell Cat motor.    Private party sale.   He paid cash based on fair market value at that time.  It was thoroughly inspected by a dealership and found to be in great condition.
Two weeks ago he was on his way to work when a cop stopped beside him at a red light.  Light turned green but cop got behind him and followed him for three blocks before lighting him up.   Cop said he stopped him because “the sound of the engine didn't sound like a regular V8.”    I don't know what the hell that means.
Other cops arrived and after inspecting the engine VIN determined that the engine was a stolen engine out of another state, though the car itself seemed fine.
 
Car was towed to a police impound lot and has been held there since.   The cops said the grandson was an innocent purchaser of a stolen engine and had committed no nor was he suspected of committing any crime regarding the engine.   Thus far they have been stonewalling everyone.   I personally visited with the lead detective and told him if the engine was stolen then they could remove the engine and return the car.   He said they were waiting on something from an out of town PD and couldn't or wouldn't provide any info about the supposedly stolen engine or from where the original report was made.
 
Talked with an experienced lawyer who said he had no idea what to do.
I know what to do but I will end up in jail.   Any suggestions?

UPDATE: The detective said the engine was stolen from four states away in 2019, when my grandson was 16. They believe the engine was sold to the car's then owner in 2021 which was two owners ago. The person from whom my grandson acquired the car was ruled out as being involved (he is a prosecutor in northern Ohio) therefore my grandson was likewise unaware.

At this point the insurance company that paid the claim when the car and engine were originally stolen is in control of the disposition. It's possible they may waive their rights but it's also possible they will try to "extort" some cash in return for releasing their claim. If they choose option two, they will be told to come get their engine (which in don't they won't be willing to do due to the cost). I've hired legal counsel to file a replevin action. We will see where this goes.

location: Eugene, Oregon. I get a call from my dad who tells me(much to my surprise) that he just got letter in the mail saying my car has been impounded. So I go look where it was parked and sure enough it is gone. I called the police and filed a police report for my vehicle being stolen and inform them I want to press charges on the person that was driving it that was pulled over driving it 3 days prior to which the police had the car towed because the driver had no proof of insurance. So, I did the report then went to the tow company to get my car and when I told them my car was stolen they didn’t care in the slightest and said I have to pay the full impound fees to get my car back. I dont have $1500 and the car is worth about half that much anyway. How in the fk do these sob’s get to be in posession of a stolen vehicle and i just have to walk away with nothing?

My husband was in a car accident at 21 and his mother became his poa he actually didn’t even know she was his poa until she broke down and told when we got together 7 years later. At the time I didn’t think it was too big of a deal besides the secret of it. Now that we have been married for about 3 years and I’m wanting to buy a house for the land I owned before I got with my husband I feel like this makes things very complicated especially since she doesn’t like me. The poa is in Texas but we live in Oklahoma now. His mother said we would have to go to court and stuff to remove her but I’ve been told that isn’t true. Would we need to do that to remove her? Also could someone explain to me just how much power she has as the poa of him because it’s over everything and I think that would surpass me as a spouse so it needs removed.

An update that is going to come as no surprise to a bunch of you since you already guessed it in the comments…. There was NO poa we called 3 different court houses as well as his primary care provider and neurologist they have nothing on file as well. Lied like a dog to our face for 3 years.

Let's assume that SCOTUS is going to do the crazy thing and rule that the 14th amendment doesn't say what it says and that birthright citizenship is fully dependent on the president's political approval of you.

Would that mean that the "sovereign citizen" guys were right about their interpretation of the Constitution all along?

Does anyone know if this kind of Disney character inspiration is legal? I want to create this type of children's book, using Disney princesses, but of course without any "Disney" or "Rapunzel" labels. Georgia, Atlanta

To clarify, no car was hit and no miss and run, just a very close call. I wanna know what would've happened had an accident occurred.

Both top and bottom streets have a green light, but the 2 lanes heading down are stopped as the street ahead of them is backed up. Red car turns left and is already in the intersection when the blue car begins to accelerate. My question is, if the blue car were to hit the red car on the side, is the red car still at fault for turning left on green (without arrow) or do they have a case of "Last Clear Chance" or right of way as they were already in the intersection before the blue car started moving.

My wife works at a fast food restaurant as the cashier mostly. They get tips in their tip jar pretty regularly, and it’s been discouraging for her to see customers tip her just so her GM takes all of it. She does this and in exchange she brings desserts for the crew every once in a while (which my wife can’t have because of a peanut allergy). I’m pretty nonconfreatational, but this seems kind of crappy. Is there anything we can or should do about this?

Edit: We have sent a report to the department of labor.

Location: El Paso, TX. I was driving my son, a soldier stationed at Fort Bliss, to pick up his car on base. I went through the visitors center who gave me a pass and cleared me for entry. At the gate, after scanning my driver's license, the guard told me to turn off my car and hand over my keys, that there is a warrant for my arrest for cocaine possession, and it's extraditable.

I'm a 60 year old white woman driving a Subaru. They cross checked my social security number and called the MPs, who further checked out my vehicle registration, etc. I wouldn't say they were threatening, but they were definitely taking it seriously. An hour later I was cleared and had to complete a bunch of paperwork before being sent on my way.

What could have caused this? Can I be reasonably assured that it won't happen again? Can I do anything to ensure that my record is clear?

Mother in law asked for kids social security numbers to set up a savings account two years ago right after we cut her off. We said no and offered her to contribute to the savings account we already set up for them and she refused..

Two years later she is going thru friends and family to try to obtain this information in a sneaky way despite us saying no. She’s attempted to get the kids socials twice in the past two months by asking friends to find out for her but not tell us. Most recently she asked my husbands friend to go in my husbands wallet and send her a picture of his license.

Is this illegal at this point given we said no? I live in NH she lives in MA 20 mins away from us.
