note: Sometimes questions make me head spin. Your help could stop it. \n\n\n\nFictional Story:\n\nMike knows Joe is ripping him off.   \n\nInstead of going to the police, Mike sets up a under-handed plan to catch Joe. It is not illegal nor will it injure Joe in any way, but is a plan of very questionable standards.\n\nOnce Mike catches Joe and makes him pay back what he took, does Mike still need to justify his dis-honorable actions?\n\nIf so, too who?

In the example, various degrees of misconduct cannot always be quantified. Generally, validation and justification of a viable nature, are both required. These are for the purpose of running and proliferating healthy societies, and also for ensuring clean individual conscience and morals. Any ONE ensures BOTH!

absolutely the most ridiculous instance of police abuse/brutality that i can recall in many years.....i am appalled...i sent this link to my dad as he and i discuss these issues daily and he says believe it or not it happens everyday all over.....just so happens someone caught this...i cannot believe they expected that guy to just get up...i wonder how easy it would have been for them to get up after being tazed...and to threaten him with tazing again? OUTRAGEOUS!...he was obviously incapacitated if he couldnt even get up so where was the threat to them that would have caused them to do it again!?!...i'd have probably been still puking my guts up too much to get off my knees!...can you say lawsuit?...i hope they get what they deserve...this was totally senseless....thank you for opening my eyes today

LMAO!!!! Hey PD that was a nice one!!!!\n\nHeres one for you - \n\nA police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange: \nOfficer: May I see your driver's license? \nDriver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI. \nOfficer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle? \nDriver: It's not my car. I stole it. \nOfficer: The car is stolen? \nDriver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there. \nOfficer: There's a gun in the glove box? \nDriver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk. \nOfficer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!? \nDriver: Yes, sir. \nHearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation: \nCaptain: Sir, can I see your license? \nDriver: Sure. Here it is. \nIt was valid. \nCaptain: Who's car is this? \nDriver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner' card. \nThe driver owned the car. \nCaptain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it? \nDriver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. \nSure enough, there was nothing in the glove box. \nCaptain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it. \nDriver: No problem. \nTrunk is opened, no body. \nCaptain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk. \nDriver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too.

I have a close friend who has been in law enforcement for over twenty years. He says he almost always asks people why they committ crimes. I have asked him before what scammers say. He says they often say if people won't think and realize their being scammed that they deserve to be victims. Maybe not true of all scammers, but mostly the ones he's spoken with.

Itd be worse to be caught because now IM the jerkoff and he's the poor guy. Although Itd hurt alot Id prefer to catch him. Id take him for everything. All $10 in his account!

I have to diasagree with the 1st two posters (and the 1st one is just snotty).\nBut anyhow...\nAlthough both parties may be breaking the law, the employer is far more guilty.  First of all, when a person is hired, they usually have to accept whatever payment is given to them--the method of payment is not their decision.   This illegal business practice was going on before your daughter was hired, and it will continue to go on after she no longer lives there.\nAlso, the employer is guilty on how many accounts? As many as he has employees.  So I would bet that if your daughter reported this creep to the proper authorities, they, most likely, will not take any action against your daughter.  And, besides that, she is a minor--not much they can do legally anyway.\n AND she is obviously a victim in this situation. It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that any Prosecutor's Office would ever persue any type of legal recourse against a minor in this case: she is the little fish, and her employer is the big shark.\nBesides that, I highly doubt any jury would convict a minor child who "doesn't know better"  (she has a right to one if she were ever charged with a crime and pleaded not guilty....but, again: there's probably a 1 out of a zillion chance that she would face any type of penalty at all).\nAlso, you could make sure that she gets immunity before she reports him.  Law enforcement agencies are usually pleased with the person who comes forth with honesty and lets them know what is going on.\n Anyhow, the thing that your daughter has to do to "Cover Her Anatomy" in this case is:  report the wages at the end of the year on her taxes.\n\nI had a friend whose Father made him report the (little bit) of money he earned from airbrushing art and shoveling neighbor's walkways.  To my best knowledge, if you do odd jobs (such as mowing neighbor's yards for 20 bucks, paper route, etc.) you are supposed to report that income at the end of the year.\n\nEveryone knows that the IRS has bigger fish to fry than picking on teenagers for earning a little spending money.\n\nI wouldn't worry one single bit.  And I'd report that guy immediately.  In fact, I'd first threaten to turn him in if he doesn't pay her.  Then, after receiving payment (he really doesn't want to get reported--there's a good chance that, after being threatened, he would pay her what is owed), I'd report him anyway. lol

I've worked with Joe on a tax case, as part of a legal defense team for someone else. He seemed like a reasonable and intelligent person.\n\nBTW, the news story is incorrect when it says the govt "unable to cite any U.S. law that required Banister to pay income taxes". That wasn't the legal issue in the case, and it is a mis-statement of the law. \n\nThe actual issue was that the govt couldn't prove that Banister did anything wrong in his interactions with the IRS, and that he was acting reasonably given his understanding of the laws.

Hi Flavormint!\nI've heard about the Lying Lawyer. He's a good family man but has a bad habit at the race track. He welshed on a loan so, some goons had to be sent out to collect a payment. When the good affable attorney couldn't cough it up and instead mooned them them with butt cleavage, they had to tie his fingers together in a most unpleasant way.\nFlavormint, my girlfriend was unfortunate to be applying as a receptionist that day when she had to witness the unfortunate events. I don't know if the Lying Lawyer is still practicing law or not.\n-Zealnik

Compensation?  Seriously?\n\nSo some scumbag DECIDES to take heroin (a dangerous and addictive drug and anyone with half a brain cell knows this) and then DECIDES to committ a crime, but sadly gets caught and locked up and has to go cold turkey.\n\nBoo-bloody-hoo!\n\nNo they should not get compensation.  Not unless the old lady they mugged or the person whose house they broke into and ransacked or the woman they raped will get compensation too.  Sadly I doubt they will.

House is not mad at Wilson. He is worried that Wilson will cut off his supply of drugs. He isn't even thinking about the cop. After all, he is a patient in need of a drug. Wilson is his doctor and his medical condition is legitimate. The problem is just a question of how much vicodin is too much. That is debateable espesially since vicodin comes in varying strengths. At any rate, house is just trying to secure his supply. If I were House, I would simply call my lawyer and and have the policeman put up on charges for selective prosecution and police harassment. He crossed the line by interrogating House's staff after all charges against House were dismissed.  Concerning Wilson, he is being wrongfully prosecuted too. If he gets a lawyer those charges will be dismissed as well. Personally, I would also consider having the cop arrested for practicing medicine without a license. he has been told that the drugs are legal and he is trying to make the supply disappear. That is practicing medicine and he has no license.

The point here is that he had a prescription with him that was not in his name, which is a second-degree misdemeanor. His plea agreement says he "will refrain from any violation of any law." It doesn't matter what his motivation was, he violated the law. I'm interested to see how this plays out...

Firstly, I really like the phrasing of your question, Neddie. Beyond the fact I've always been a big fan of alliteration, there is some very clever wordplay in there. Nice!\n\nNeedless to say, I'll have nothing to do with this evil gang of criminals. The ANP is an atrocity and the bush administration IS the fourth reich writ large (in red, white and blue, alas). I truly loathe these people and everything they stand for.\n\nI'll try to read Suskind's book, as I never tire of seeing the truth about these murderous gangsters promulgated for all to see. Mind you, it's hard not to feel nauseous when contemplating that the deranged ann coulter's evil book of fallacies about Liberals is at or near the top of most best-seller lists. What is WRONG with this country?\n\nI'm not sure if the US government has forked over the reward money for al zarqawi's demise but I imagine the Iraqis who provided information on that evil bastard's hideout are entitled to it, blood money or nay. The relevant question, however, is what does it matter? His replacement has already begun carrying out atrocities on the same scale. I guess we'll offer the same reward for his "capture" and then do the same for his replacement, and so on, and so on, and so on... Good grief, when does this nightmare end?

Who's going to report him? If you do it, you'll just have the cops on your case.\n\n\n\nRemember: It's good to be the king!

In a recent courtroom drama, accused murderer Jack Merridew was almost attacked by fellow defendant Ralph Grant following his statement in the investigation surrounding the deaths on the island. (Nether) boys are in custody.\n\n(the) courtroom environment that had begun in silence erupted into a flurry of activity when Mr. Merridew provided details into the deaths of some of the boys which provoked an outburst by Mr. Grant. He got up from his seating screaming, “You’re such a liar!” His lawyer, Will Hayden, tried to calm him down. Mr. Grant flew out of his chair in a rage and could hardly be stopped. Running to the stand, intending to attack Mr. Merridew but being restrained by the police in time. \n\nsounds great to me! A worthy =)

*Good one...here's one 4 you.....George was planning on going out with "The Boys" when his wife told him that he wasn't leaving the house.\n\nGeorge's Wife: "The last time you went out with your friends you got so drunk that you puked on your shirt."\n\nGeorge: "But Honey, I promise that I won't drink a drop of alcohol all night!"\n\nSo after begging his wife for an hour, George got the OK the go out with the guys as long as he stayed off of the booze. George met up with the guys at a local bar and proceeded to get $hit-faced. After about 3 hours of guzzling liquor, George blew chow all over his shirt.\n\nGeorge: "$hit! The old lady is going to throw my @ss out of the house for getting drunk and puking on my new shirt!"\n\nBill, George's best pal, gave drunk @ss George an idea of how to keep from getting in trouble with the wife.\n\nBill: "All you got to do is have a $20 bill in your hand when you walk through the door. Then, when she accuses you of barfing all over yourself, just tell her that some other drunk puked on you and that he gave you 20 bucks to get the shirt cleaned."\n\nSo, when George walked into the house with money in hand, his wife was waiting for him in the living room.\n\nGeorges wife: "I knew that your drunk @ss would spew bile and booze all over that new shirt!"\n\nGeorge: "Honey, let me explain! This drunken fool at the bar puked on me and gave me 20 bucks to have it cleaned."\n\nHis wife snatched the money out of his hand and observed that he was holding two $20 bills.\n\nGeorge's wife: "Is that so? Then where did the other 20 dollar bill come from?"\n\nGeorge: "Oh, That's from the guy who $hit in my pants."*

So... the dumb man saw the blind man's wife being kidnapped by a deaf person... how will the dumb man tell the blind man? By speaking to him?\n\nA person who doesn't use spell check asks a question (riddle). Other people read it and it doesn't make any sense. It was supposed to be a riddle that made you think, an instead you had to try to figure out what was being said to beging with. Who's the idiot here?....\nobviously me for putting in any effort, let alone this much.

I agree with you. My first question when I found out about how M.J did this to those kids was why would they let their kids go over there at all. No offense, but M.J looks a little crazy!! They just wanted to get his money.
