Legal Rights For A 17 Year Old In MA?
After I turned 16, they told me I was going to go to a different school, one that was smaller so I said okay. And then they just kept making up things, and here I am now, a year & a half later and I'm still not in school and no one will bring me to sign up. Okay, so what I heard isn't true about a child being able to leave at 17? Thank you for clearing that up! I heard read some things that said if a child over 17 runs away, they can't have a run away report filed on them? Not sure. Anywho, yes I figured this. However, my family knows how to play the system and I have filed on them before (Before we adopted my second sister, that was also through DCF) I had told the guidence counselor at school when I was 14 that my parents had been hitting me, but they hit the back of my head usually so there were no bruises for me to show. They did an investigation and it was passed because my other sister said that nothing happened. Since then I've ran away twice at 15, and when t
Am I within my legal rights to call someone by their biological pronouns and not the ones they Identify with? (UK)?
First, even if someone attempts to pass a law to enforce using the right pronouns they would be hard pressed to bring a case to court, so lets just give that a yes on the for all intents and purposes scale. Because you probably also could call people all sorts of hurtful names too, right? Racial slurs, epithets? I bet you’d find a few for me.You see it isn’t because of law that you should use the right pronouns, it is because you’re a decent human being. I don’t really care if you believe what I’m doing is real or not, I really don’t. You don’t matter to me, but politeness and etiquette do. Being polite means referring to the most hideous of woman as a woman, she, her and hers, and the most horrible looking man as a man, him and his.If you cannot be bothered to use the right pronouns please say nothing. Saying nothing makes it difficult to offend anyone. On top of that, how the heck would you even know when to use your insult. I assure you I am much harder to pick out of a room than you may think. Most of us are I believe.Last, saying nothing will at least avoid your making a fool of yourself when you address someone’s homely maiden aunt as him.
If I buy a book, am I within my legal rights to digitize it for my own convenience, so long as I have no intention to share it/sell it?
In the USA, generally yes, as Mr. Gardiner pointed out. This is why many commercial sellers are taking to restricted media licensing. For example, when you purchase/download computer software, you generally have a license to use that will exclude making copies. Some online book and music vendors that allow you to download MP3s and ebooks are emulating this restrictive licensing approach.But for a physical book you bought at a bookstore, it should be fine if you digitize, so long, as you pointed out, you don't share.
Legal rights - when my vehicle was towed....?
I live in an apartment with fire lanes on the side of the building. I was told by the managers (and the towing company that towed my car) that I am allowed to park there to load and unload, up to 20 minutes. The car was towed from the 'security' company that patrols the parking area from time to time. They are not a full time staff and they have someone driving around to look for illegally parked vehicles. The car was not called to be towed by the police department. It was towed because I was parked there past 20 minutes. I was parked there for about 20 minutes before I realized that my car was missing. It was not towed for the first 10 minutes because I was unloading from my christmas shopping and it took me about that long to unload everything. I decided to leave the house to return a video and it was at that time when my vehicle was towed. I need to gather evidence that my car was towed improperly but I cannot do this without more information.
Do I have legal rights to my stepson, even though my wife and I split up?
You’ll have to ask your lawyer about that!We don’t even know what country you are in, or continent. So we don’t know what laws to apply.You say “split up”, which is not a legal term. Are you still married and just living separately? Did yous move apart and actually file with the court for a legal separation? Or are you in the process of divorce. Or have you already received your divorce decree?Have any other decrees such as visitation rights, child support money, alimony, anything else….have these already been decided? then they have to be followed.We don’t know if you and your wife are divorcing amicably or with hatred. We don’t know if you did anything bad in the treatment of the child.Or maybe your wife is treating the child bad and they need removal?
If someone attacks me, is it within my legal rights to defend myself?
One would think that the answer is a clear cut yes but it very much depends on the when, where and how. The law varies quite a bit depending on those factors.When: A drunk becomes aggressive but you have a chance to walk away but don't - doesn't look good in court.Where: Some locals in the USA (big assumption here) have a ‘stand your ground law’ and if a person agresses upon you inside your property, you might be allowed to use up to and including deadly force. However, if that community does not have that law you may wind up in prison.How: Using force beyond what is necessary (e.g. Someone slaps you so you shoot them) will almost always land you in hot water.
What are the legal rights of 16 year olds in Arizona?
At sixteen, he can petition the courts for emancipation, and depending on whether or not he fits the requirements, it may be granted. But otherwise, he must obey his parents in all their lawful commands until the age of 18. Plainly speaking, this means that unless he is emancipated, he cannot leave home without his parents' permission, and they will be within their rights to have him dragged home by the police in handcuffs, if that is deemed necessary. I am afraid that in the United States, minor children have very few rights. See link under source for information on Arizona's laws on emancipation!
