Suppose an armored car company fires an armored truck driver for violating a company rule of leaving their trucks unattended.  The employee actually left the truck unattended only to aid a woman who was being threatened by a man with a knife.  Obviously he was fired unjustly but what would the armored car company be violating?

He should of been trained on what to do in this situation other than told to never leave his truck. The fact that this man prevented a felony from occurring makes him a good citizen and the company should make some peace with him by giving him his job back with the proper training so everyone wins instead of using him for an example where everyone loses.

As a former Texas police officer, I can tell you that the guy that is doing it on purpose could be charged with Criminal Mischief if the owner of the property choses to press charges. If it's an accident, then the owner can take the driver(s) to civil court and sue for the damage to the lawn. No one has the right to hurt someone else's property and the one guy that is doing it on purpose needs a charge slapped on his butt and then he can sit in his jail cell and spin his wheels. He can also be sued for the damage. If the owner wants to press charges, tell them to get it on video if possible. Hide a camera somewhere and then they have their proof. =)

Being under the influence while riding a horse.\n\nIn Texas, it's against the law to have a pair of pliers in your possession\n\nAlaska law says that you can't look at a moose from an airplane. \n(Such shy creatures)\n\nIn Illinois, the law is that a car must be driven with the steering wheel.  \n\nA barber is not to advertise prices in the State of Georgia.\n\nIn Tennessee, it is against the law to drive a car while sleeping. \n\nCalifornia law prohibits a woman from driving a car while dressed in a housecoat.

A pilot from central Kansas almost died last Friday after being asked by the local sheriff to help out with a manhunt. He had just located the suspect from his Cessna 150 airplane when a gunshot fired from below hit him in the forehead. The pilot (who somehow managed to avoid serious injury) has told police, "You need me again, you call me." Could he have refused to help the cops or to let them use his vehicle?\n\nIt depends on the local laws, but in many places the answer would be no. Many states and cities have laws on the books that make it a misdemeanor offense to refuse aid to a police officer. And legal precedents suggest that the obligation to help out with an arrest extends to giving cops the use of your plane, your car, or anything else that might come in handy

The employee is liable only when there is negligence on his part.  If you feel that you are not negligent, prove that you are not liable.

First, this is being reported as an accident.\nSecond, if the other person does not press charges, then there is nothing that anyone can do.

If the lessee pays you for the driver's work, and you tell the driver where to go and what to do, he would most likely be classified as your employee.  Worker's compensation is another matter entirely.  In Georgia, for example, you do not need worker's compensation unless you have at least three employees, including officers.

The term "victim" refers to her injuries, not her legal standing.  Sounds like your g.f. made a left turn in front of a car that struck her car.\n\nIf that's the case, then the other driver had the right of way and your g.f. is at fault.\n\n~~~~~~~~~~\n\nWicked Magnet below wrote: "BUT...if neither saw the other, and the other party was "clearly going faster..."\n\nIf neither party saw the other, then how do you determine which party was "clearly going faster"?  As far as these two drivers were concerned, the other driver was invisible.  How can you say an invisible driver was speeding?

As a firefighter/paramedic, I have to say that the guy who said most people are respectful has never driven an emergency vehicle.  Yes, there should be MUCH stiffer penalties.  Ignoring emergency vehicles puts too many people in danger.  I don't think this needs to be regulated at a federal level, but it would be great if the police would start enforcing the laws that are already on the books.

Most states have laws giving immunity from suit to government employees carrying out duties in the course of their employment.  As an attorney, he is subject to discipline for any conduct that does not conform with the ethics rules of the state.  Contact the state bar if you feel that some ethical impropriety occurred.

Even if you did try to fight the ticket on the basis of a box not being checked, you would lose.  This is just an administrative mistake on the citation and doesn't change anything.  All that needs to be done is a quick admendment to the ticket and it would be correct.  Cops are human too, and they will make mistakes.  There are literally hundreds of forms that cops have to deal with everyday.  The fact that a box wasn't checked doesn't change the fact of the violation.

To be certain I would need more details about what happened, like who owned the car, if the passenger was intoxicated, etc, but what it sounds like is the passenger is being charged with letting the driver drive the car. If he/she knew the driver was intoxicated and gave him/her the keys and let him/her drive the car, he/she could be criminally negligent.

I just took an employment law class so I have a pretty good idea that he would not win in the court of law.  As long as he was not fired unjustly, he has no basis to retaliate.  however, you will have to be able to prove that it was him (witnesses) and that the action was indeed in retaliation of the termination.  good luck, what a crappy situation :(  it's going ot cost you both more than what it is worth - if you fired him according to the law, you have nothing to worry about

Oh dear.  If someone was fired from their job as they couldn't do something, but the employer denied access to the organisation that could have enabled the employee to do that job, that employer stands to lose a lot of money in court.\n\nGet thee to an employment tribunel immediately!

The violation of the contract would be a civil matter. If, however, there was fraud (as often is the case with some "contractors" after a disaster) then that would be a criminal matter.
