How can I get my girlfriend's cat to run away?
I am allergic to her cat, and on top of that hate cats. I know this might make me a bad person... I dont really care. I dont want to kill or hurt the cat, I just want it to run away. Is there anything I could do to help influence it to run away? I dont want to hurt the cat. I dont want to kill it. I dont want to put it in a sac and bring it out to a field or anything like that. I just want to "nudge" the animal to make it want to run away and not come back. After accomplishing this, I plan to buy her a dog to make things right. I know, I know I am a bad person for doing this, and she probbly loves the cat more than me. Any real ideas?
What can a landlord do if a tenant refuses to leave after an eviction notice?
That depends on what you mean by “eviction notice.”An eviction notice is issued by a court after a legal process in which the landlord has been awarded possession of the premises.The eviction process is handled by a court and, if necessary, by local law enforcement pursuant to a court order. If the tenant refuses to leave after the eviction notice has been served then he or she will be forcibly removed from the premises. There is nothing the landlord needs to do.A landlord cannot issue an eviction notice because only a court has the power to evict someone from their home.But a landlord can issue a “termination notice” or a “notice to vacate” or similar notices to the tenant pursuant to the terms of the lease. If such notices have been properly issued and served, and the tenant refuses to leave, then the landlord must file a dispossession action in the local civil court which, after due process, will result in the court issuing an “eviction notice” as described above.
Will a warrant in another county transfer the warrant to my current county after business hours?
I have a warrant out in one county and I'm currently in another. Can the county that has issued the warrant send it out at any time of the day, or is there a cut off time at business hours? I already know they will transfer the warrant, regardless of the 2 hour drive away. I've had this happen before.
Is it legal to forge someone's signature with their consent?
Someone asking you to “sign on their behalf” is effectively asking you to represent them in doing a certain thing, which qualifies you as a mandated party. You basically have an unwritten contract in which it is stipulated that you sign for someone else, on their behalf.You would have to use your own signature, not theirs. This means that you’ve agreed that you sign on their behalf and that your signature on any relevant (..) document is the same as their signature on that document.If you’d however use their signature, that’s something else entirely, with or without their consent, should the signing be done in order to produce any sort of legal consequence whatsoever, such as in the situation of signing a check.One situation in which it’s most likely legal to use someone’s signature could be the following: you get commissioned to use someone’s signature as a wall decoration (do it over and over across a wall, for decorative purposes).This all varies with jurisdiction etc though I’m pretty sure on the basics.
If someone is assaulted and the victim does not press charges, can the assaulter still get into legal trouble?
Others have written good answers and some of those others are lawyers or police officers ... Me? I'm neither, but I think I have a little to add that may help clarify things (but not really add a lot new).In a criminal case, the case reads e.g. New York vs. Joe Smith. In a civil case, it would be Jane Doe vs. Joe Smith. In a criminal case, the prosecution is done by some combination of police officers, other investigators, and the city, state or federal authorities. The police are paid by the "people". If it goes to trial, the attorneys for the prosecution are also paid by the people. Several people raised the fact that, in a murder case, the victim can't press charges. True. But hardly unique! This also happens in many drug cases, prostitution cases and child/spousal abuse cases. However, it wasn't always so and it isn't so everywhere. All the above is centered on the USA (although I believe many other countries are similar). Some states have, however, not even tried to prosecute criminals and others make only minor efforts to do so. This failure may be due to the actual law or it may be due to lack of resources or it may be due to corruption. When this is the case, people take the law into their own hands. Such places are always very violent. E.g. the "wild west". I'd be interested to hear about how criminal cases work in other countries.
What can I do if someone copies my signature and signs a document with it?
You can go to the police and file a complaint. Forging a signature is a crime. Then, if someone tries to hold you to the contract, you can share the complaint with them. If they still try to hold you to the contract, and they sue you, you will have to deal with the dispute over the signature.If this is an actual situation, you may want to speak with a lawyer if you are concerned about any effort to uphold the contract.
If someone plants drugs in your vehicle/home, how do you prove your innocence? How do you not get arrested initially for possession?
Actually, you are pretty safe from drugs being planted in your home. There's a relatively high standard that has to be met in most jurisdictions for the police to get a warrant to search your home. It is usually to point where if the police do find drugs in your home, then either you were foolish enough to consent to a non-warrant search. Or the police were in the your home serving a search warrant for another matter and then "discovered" the planted drugs.One thing that works in your favor is if the police have no history of purchasing drugs from you, then they may find themselves on the witness stand explaining why they targeted you during a drug investigation. If there's no clear cut evidence that you are a drug dealer or that you are storing the drugs for someone else, the case may prove to be "problematic" for the prosecution and might lead to an acquittal.As far as your vehicle: That's probably where someone planning to frame would likely strike.Accessing your vehicle unseen and unrecorded would be far easier than trying to do so with an apartment or a home. The drugs could be planted, you'd be arrested and then you'd have to make some hard decisions about your future. The police would need far less probable cause to stop you and searching your vehicle with a drug K-9 could produce raid results for them.The biggest advantage that you might have would be to discuss the issue with an attorney before you make any statements to the police. That way, the attorney has an idea of what to be looking for if/when you are interviewed by the police and they can begin to look for the serious flaws in logic and timing that come with all but the most careful of frame jobs.Unfortunately, if you DO use drugs or you DID sell them at one time, you are likely going to be successfully framed failing a huge strategic or tactical error (or errors) made the person who is framing you. You have a history with drugs that would make it difficult for an average person to believe that you were not involved in any manner. Even your relatives and friends who are supportive may be troubled by your 'involvement" even if it is not the truth.
Does a misdemeanor go away? How long does it take?
How long do you have to list it might be a better question. They don't go away. After a certain period of time they are simply not relevant. A misdemeanor a year ago is certainly more ‘serious' than that exact same misdemeanor ten years ago.How long does it need to keep being brought up? That depends on a particular job and its requirements and how the question is asked. But it's always there unless dismissed or expunged or pardoned if someone wants to dig that far and deep into the past.
If you break something in a hotel room, are you expected to pay for it?
Depends on the circumstances, the guest and their attitude. Several examples for you from the last 6 months in 4* hotels :Housekeeping enter room after guest checkout and find the solid wood wardrobe lying like matchwood in a pile - no I have no idea either but … chargecurtain hanging off rail - no charge and repairaluminium fixing rod on window that holds it half open, bent and buckled - chargebed and carpet covered in sh*t - chargebed full of vomit - chargelift covered in blood and broken mirror plus full of vomit - chargemirror broken, caused by room door being flung open with such force that the rubber stop on the floor is ripped out - discussion with guest…accident they say - no chargesmoking in room - chargeled tv screen cracked - chargewine stains on the wall - chargebroken shower support in unrenovated room - no chargegenerally we speak to the guest and charge if they can’t explain it but 90% of the time they check out without saying anything…that tells it’s own storyWe have a credit card, for guaranteeing against theft and damage, so we just take a ‘fair’ amount to cover costs of replacement, send an email and wait for the telephone call/email rant from the customer. We send the photographic evidence and ask how it happened and (seldom) refund the card or not.
