Wow, sounds like a pickle.  First off have you confronted them on the issue of the contractual statement you both signed and agreed upon?? You need to confront them firmly on that and ask them if they themselves are breaking the contract.  Act like a lawyer and get tough.  You have your rights and as long as you are paying the agreed amount within the time limit given, you are should be legally safe.  Whether or not they are a legit agency that plays by the rules is another story.  \nTry contacting some government agencies regarding rights and commerce.  Try the phone book, online and through the library.  Even try the ACLU and ask them if they can refer to you the proper support network and then get some support.  Every large town should have a group that does free or low cost legal advice as well as representation.  Try those!  \n\nAlso, ask them why they are doing this beyond collecting the alloted amount that you are legally expected to pay.  Question them, challenge them...call them on the spot about what they are doing.  If they insist, tell them you are seeking legal counsel to see if what they are doing is legal?  \n\nJust get tenacious and find out from every free source what you need to, to protect yourself.  You have rights, remember that!

It depends how the egress was granted.  You must allow them, but that doesn't mean you must allow people other then them depending on how the egress was worded.  Without that it's sort of hard to determine what "rights" she was granted.

Well if you worked it out then you already violated the order.  But any ways, go to the court that issued the order - contact the Judge and ask him to resend the order

I think you were right to do what you did. No one should have to put up with stuff like that, no matter where they live. Especially if the Police are not properly handling it. At least, now you can get proof to show them and it isn't just your word against theirs.\n\nGood luck on this..........

The officer and the business owner have both CLEARLY violated your right to freedom of speech! I would IMMEDIATELY file a complaint with the U.S. Attorney Generals office, The F.B.I. and your local police cheif, I would also contact every media outlet I could get my hands on with the detailed story. If you have the extra money lying around I would also file a civil suit against both the Officer and the business owner. You have clearly been wronged, and don't even think about stepping down. FIGHT BACK. I've won 3 lawsuits against the police in my lifetime already, and I'm only 21 years old. We the people cannot stand for this outright ILLEGAL behavior by law enforcement. If you follow the proper measures, and take this thing to the "top of the hill" that officer will never work behind a badge again, and the business owner will be liable for so many damages to you he'll be put out of business.

In the phonebook - scroll to the 'R's and look for the Rights. Of course, if Mrs Right answers the phone then there could be complications. \n\nAlso if you can't find anyone to do right, are you in some sort of left handed people club?

i'm a teacher. you have no rights. \n\nseriously, consult your student handbook. you will see EXACTLY what kind of rights you have. that info depends entirely on where you are and what kind of school.

It sounds like you were unlawfully harassed and might need to get a lawyer.  Do call the HR department of the company to find out their policies but this could end up being a major windfall for you if you get the right legal advice.

they mistakenly think they have rights (the illegals)

no, any more than they should have the right to listen in on my phone conversations, sift through my trash, or stand outside my window at night with a cup up against my wall.\n\nit's privacy, and it's reasonable to expect it while you're in the comfort of your own home.  any invasions of my privacy are not explained to my satisfaction by someone's excuse that they are doing it to 'protect me'.  i feel i have a right to be free from 'unreasonable searches and seizures', and monitoring my online communication IS unreasonable, in my book.

First of all you need to consult with an attorney that handles constitutional law, to ascertain as to whether or not your rights were violated. When you consult with the attorney, make sure that you have the following information: initial charges that caused the arrest, disposition of those charges, proof of innocense of those charges and above all be truthful with the attorney. Lying or withholding information from an attorney will not help your case, in fact it may cause greater problems down the line. Because if this goes to trial based on the information filed by your attorney and you are called to testify, you risk being charged with perjury and having your case dismissed.  \n\nIf the Attorney takes your case he will file pleadings under 42 USC Section 1983. That would be Title 42 of the United States Code Section 1983.\n\nThe following is what this statute entails:\n\nSection 1983. Civil action for deprivation of rights \n\n"Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer's judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable.  For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia."

Yeah, slightly.  My advice to you would be to make a complaint to your city council.  Now, I'm not legal expert or anything, so that's the best I can suggest.

Please don't be offended, and perhaps it's just the way you write, but you clearly don't have the facts of this situation correctly.  What you are claiming happened here is (assuming I can understand it), really very difficult to believe.  \n\nLet's do this:\n\nIf your friend, who was convicted of whatever it was, was represented by an attorney in any court in this country, I would strongly suspect his 6th amendment rights were not violated and if they were, his attorney would almost certainly be filing an appeal as we speak.\n\nOtherwise, you probably need someone to help you with your question because it's nearly impossible to understand.
