My boyfriend has a criminal record, what should I do?
He told me a while ago about the incident, and he was very upfront about it. I never looked into it though, because if he was honest enough to admit it, then I felt like I had nothing to worry about. However, I kept the information from my family, and my dad, being the ex-cop, recently ran a background check on him. My relationship with my family has suffered greatly from my dad doing this, and I don't even want to be around them. So what should I do? His offenses were relatively minor, 3rd degree burglary, which in NY, is pretty much the same as trespassing. How can I get things going right with my family without my relationship with him suffering?
Has anyone ever heard of Erin Prizzey?
Here is a great article about both Erin and the nature of modern feminism: http://www.ifeminists.net/e107_plugins/c... excerpts: "Pizzey's 'mistake' was to diverge from the theory of domestic violence that feminists at the time insisted dominate all discussion. She believed that men could also be the victims of domestic violence, and that women could be as violent toward their partners as men. Pizzey's views put her on a collision course with PC feminists who, according to Pizzey's own published account of events, initiated a campaign of harassment and violence against her." "Pizzey returned to England that same year for the book tour of her next book, "Prone to Violence," which once again ignited a violent reaction among feminists. Pizzey wrote that when she arrived in England for her book tour, she was "met with a solid wall of feminist demonstrators" carrying signs that read "ALL MEN ARE RAPISTS, ALL MEN ARE BATTERERS." "Pizzey is not alone. In America, Suzanne Steinmetz -- author of the book "The Battered Husband" and a co-author of the much-cited "First National Family Violence Survey" -- experienced a similar drama. She and her children received death threats; an ACLU meeting at which she spoke received a bomb threat." And here comes my favorite excerpt because it's so damn true: "Feminism is dying not from a backlash but from an orthodoxy that cannot tolerate real discussion...and never could."
What happens if you're caught driving with the wrong license plates?
Where I worked, this was called “fictitious plates or registration.” It was regarded as considerably more serious than driving without registration.If an officer found a car bearing plates registered to another car, his first suspicion would be that the car is stolen, because that is frequently the case. A smart car thief will steal a set of cold plates from a car of the same make and model, but most car thieves aren’t that smart. If you run the plates on a Ford and they come back to a Volkswagen, you start thinking, “stolen car.”If the officer thinks he is dealing with an occupied stolen car, he may conduct a high-risk stop, which is where everyone inside the car is brought out one at a time and proned on the pavement, at gunpoint. It will be an event you will not quickly forget.Less commonly, I would stop someone with fictitious plates, and they would tell me, “My plates expired, so I put these on it so I could drive it.” Having the wrong plates on the car might make it less noticeable to the cops, but the consequences of getting caught were considerably more grave.If you were driving a car with no plates or expired plates, we would write you a ticket for “registration required.” That was a $15 fine, and the court would almost always dismiss it if you got the car registered by the time you went to court.If you were driving a car with fictitious plates,The car would be impounded.The plates would be seized.You would get a ticket (or possibly be arrested) for driving with fictitious plates ($375 fine), and probably also for driving without insurance, because unregistered cars are seldom insured.The DMV would suspend the car’s registration, meaning there would be more hoops to jump through to get it registered.You might be on the receiving end of a high-risk car stop.Just get the car registered. It’s cheaper for everyone.
What are some lies to tell your parents about staying with your secret boyfriend for a day and not get caught?
I had a friend who was in a well guarded secret relationship with a boy since she was 14. Only few selected friends knew about it and needless to say, we were her fake alibis all the time. Fortunately, she was never caught inspite of the few close calls. But let me elaborate what would've happened if her parents ever found out. They'd be hurt beyond repair. Their sixteen year old daughter carrying out such a relationship behind their back is a preposterous idea for any parent. That's one knife no parent should be stabbed in their back with. If they were to find out, it would have been next to impossible to trust their daughter again. They'd be dissappointed and believe me that you don't want to dissappoint your parents. She'd probably be grounded for a long time. Secondly, bunking school is an awful idea. Do not, I repeat, do not miss school for anyone. If you do it once, you'll be tempted to do it again and again and again, until it becomes an everyday thing for you. That way, you are jeopardising your academic life and your career. I've seen the "good girls" committing this mistake at 16 and you'll never forgive yourself for this. As for tips, there is no foolproof way of sneaking out for a tryst with your boyfriend. Parents will find out at some point or the other and to know what happens after that, read above.
What would you do to an ex who poisoned you after stealing your money and then ran away with someone else? The police does nothing in this case; it is all up to you.
I would look inside myself and ask why I wound up with that kind of person. Then I would try and change so that I did not attract those kind of girls / guys. I would not choose revenge, it never makes you feel as good as you think it will in the moment and it often makes you feel much, much worse in the long run. In addition, all the time and energy that you put into being angry and seeking revenge is energy you could be using to find another lover, maybe one that won't rip you off.If such a person really threatened your life by poison or took enough money from you to seriously disrupt your life, then it's a matter for the cops. Attempted murder by poisoning is pretty serious and cops get pay and promotions for solving such crimes, so they _should_ help you, unless there is no evidence such as medical reports, then they can't do anything. Of course, if you were not hospitalised and there is no medical records, then how serious can it be?I realise that much of the above depends on how well the society you live in is functioning. If you are living in a situation where you cannot access medical care or the police are openly adversarial, then you have a much bigger problem.
I am 24 years old and I want to run away and I can't tell my parents. I have a feeling they will contact the police and put in a missing report. If I tell the police I am safe, would they tell my parents that I called them?
If a missing persons report was filed, police, if they find you, will actually ask you if it’s ok for them to let the people who filed the notice know where you are/that you called/anything about you. They are actually not supposed to tell them without your consent - assuming you’re above legal age. At 24, you have nothing to worry about.Since they can’t obviously keep false missing people reports open, they will just say that someone with information / seen you last, called in and let them know you were ok. The police will tell your parents they went to see you as a wellness-check, but they will not disclose your location and they will not bring you in to the station (provided you are not a criminal), and they will inform your parents after they’ve already seen you, so your parents can’t try to follow.I had a concerned man file one for me after I broke up with my ex, and I was actually trying to avoid this man was the reason he felt I was missing(dead)… but he wasn’t a danger so I didn’t let the police know. The police explained the procedure basically, and I said they could tell him I’m ok but nothing more. They handled it.
Does Walmart have undercover security and is this what I encountered?
Wal Mart has what is called Loss Prevention. Their purpose is not physical security, their job is to apprehend shoplifters. You can file a complaint with the store manager or with corporate headquarters here: http://walmartstores.com/7663.aspx
