Massachusetts allows gay marriage.  (as does Canada, Sweden, Holland and various other countries).  VT has civil unions with the same rights.  NJ will pass a law within months either establishing gay unions or gay marriage.  NY is heading toward, but not at, gay unions.  \n\nWest Virginia still has a law on the books prohibiting gays completely -- but the law is unenforced and unenforceable -- a leftover of an older day.  As for Ohio -- I don't know but I believe that it is barred there as well, but I know homosexuality itself is legal.\n\nHope that helps,\n\nReynolds Jones\nbelieveinyou24@yahoo.com

The laws vary from state to state.  I would check with your local district attorney's office as to your options.

"Legal" is whatever a court last said it was.\n\nWhy would you even raise the issue? It would cost you far more to challenge his ruling than paying the additional fee (assuming a reasonable fee).

Whoever told you that is wrong.  \n\nYou're talking about some fairly complicated jurisdictional issues.  There are many, many situations where police can and do exercise jurisdiction on private property.

You have free time to look this up, more free time to type a response, but not time to tell us anything worth reading?? hhhmmmm\n\nGeez, you'd better add some substance to your answers once you graduate or the Bar will chew you up!!

If it is Illegal to use the phone over there then you have no argument. If you want to fight it in court, not only will you lose but the court costs will work you up the a$$. Except that you got caught and never do it again, life sucks!

You are incorrect, sorry.\n\nLet us examine this in detail.\n\nLaws are open for interpretation by state courts and the supreme Court.\n\nLets do an example to clarify:\n\nThere is a basic Law against Assault and Battery...Fact.\n\nPerson  A  is in a discussion with Person  B , for no reason at all...Person  A  Punches Person  B  and causes physical harm.\n\nThe law Protects person  B  from assault and Battery.\n\nTwo weeks Later, Person B assaults the Brother of Person  A and causes Bodily injury.\n\nI assure you that Person  B will be charged with Assault and Battery and be convicted by a jury of his Peers.\n\nI hope that this clarifies.

Not all laws are correct. Our own independence came from breaking Britain's laws, and so did India's. These people that come across our borders are coming because they are in desparate need of the basic necessities of life, and they can find them here. Take any one of your loved ones, and let's say they were bleeding to death in your car and you were driving to the hospital. Now, if you were to follow the speed limit and all of the rules of the road on your way to get to the hospital, then your loved one would die. If you were to speed, and "break the law", then your loved one would live. Now, that actually happened to my best friend. He was bleeding to death and I broke the law by going 90 in a 55 zone. After I got to the hospital, I actually got a ticket for speeding even though, if I were to arrive two minutes afterwards, my friend would have been dead. There are times when breaking the law is necessary, and in those times it is ethics that guide us.

I disagree. I my experince. Reason people break the rule is becuase they cant win any other way. Ponder this thow rules are ristrictions enacted and enforced by individuals or private comp. ect. laws are differrent. Laws are inacted by Legislative body or gov. entity. Now im going to get deep with you. No one can enact or enforce rules that conflict with laws set by the gov. body. So most of the time no one is really breaking any rule because they confict with gov. laws. most of the time
