To have force of law, is it necessary that this policy be recorded in some national code?

Depends on the kind of law you're talking about.\n\nIn the United States, some laws are "federal" and enforced at the national level.  Others are "state", "county", or "city" and are variously called statutes, ordinances, codes, and so on, depending on their usage.\n\nThen there is "common law" which is law based on what is commonly accepted at the time and is NOT set down in writing.  Most common law is now codified into regular law, but it may be that some states still allow "common law" marriages, for example.

Right now? It's defined by all sorts of clauses and such, it SHOULD be defined by a constitution, but since that hasn't been ratified, I really can't tell you exactly how it works.\n\nHowever, I think what is practiced now, is identical to what is in the constitution, so you could read up on that (don't worry, it is an easy read). I can't remember, and I think it in practice is useful for voicing Europe-Wide views in different political alignment separate from "national" interests.

I do not know of any. It will depend on where you are, and what you need it for. You may still need an officical copy from the police for the Lawyer. Why isn't the Lawyer getting it?

No, the law is the law, it was made by people. If you need the law to be something different then make your case and get people to vote for it. If you can't then the law is probably right as it stands.\n\nIf you abandon the rule of law then you are heading for dictatorship.

Yes. You have to obey the order that was given to you, no matter where you live. The order has already been handed down to you. It does not matter where you live, you still have to obey the law.

Not in the slightest...\n\nFor example, the government has failed to pass legislation they were working on last year to remove the 'proof of rape' requirements. If you are unaware of what I am referring to: the current law is that a woman must produce 3 MALE witnesses in order to prove she was raped.\n\nInsane and absolutely ludicrous.

Laws which safeguard the national integrity and protect the rights of its citizens.

I think it is a federal law that the party being recorded must know that they are being recorded.\n\nOtherwise your activity is illegal

The Supreme Court held that "Freedoms of speech and press do not permit a State to forbid advocacy of the use of force or of law violation ****except**** where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is ***likely*** to incite or produce such action. "\n\nThat means that the law is only operative where the criminal conduct is likely to succeed.  This stands in stark contrast to crimes of Attempt, which can be prosecuted even when the act attempted is impossible; for example, attempted Murder against a dead body that the Defendant does not know is dead. \n\nThis requirement that the violence be likely may well nullify the entire statute under the Void for Vagueness doctrine.  How are police supposed to know when it is likely to succeed?

It is not in the constitution,  actually no law is in the constitution.\n\nThe laws, and state codes are listed in the state codes.\nThis will be a many thousand page book, and made up of several books to include consumer, traffic, criminal and dozens of other areas.

Not at all. The laws are meant to prevent trouble, as well as take punitive action after something happens. If you are in a threatening relationship, get out. Get to a family lawyer and find out exactly what protection is available to you. \nGood luck!

Don't know where you live, so can't check.  However, even if there isn't a law, it probably would be required for insurance purposes.

Unfortunatly NO.\nThere is in some countries, One LAW for the rich, and one for the poor.\nEven in progressivly modern countries, the LAW do'es not always seem to work.
