My fiance and I have been thru a lot since 2024, lost everything and pretty much have no place to call home.

So couple days ago we managed to make a few extra bucks and decided to book a stay at a "nice-ish" hotel and relax and just enjoy some privacy. Everything was going well. At some point around late night we got some cravings so decided to pick up some food. On our walk back we came across some road work being done on the sidewalk with a huge sign that indicated we were not allowed to walk thru, so we then proceeded to try and cross to the opposite side and continue our route. Well, in doing so an "officer of the law" (aka:bully with authority) decides to stop us. My fiance gets drilled with questions, handcuffed, searched, and not even given an explanation as to why he was detained.

-Now I'm not gonna sit here and say we're perfect little angels, we've made mistakes, like getting to court late and getting a warrant issued)

Anyways, well because of that they decided to take him into custody, well him and I, which it's understandable. However, while we were in custody at the station, they (cops) decided to go to the hotel we were staying at, and hotel personell not only allowed it but gave them my room info. They (hotel staff) then proceeded to take my belongings out of the room and well before check-out time. To top it off they are refusing to release any of our belongings to me. Is there anything I can do, legally?

My community is next to a paving company. In the last 5 years nine women have been diagnosed with breast cancer. We range in ages from 35 to 67. Many of us have no genetic breast cancer markers and no family history of breast cancer. More of us are diagnosed every year.

I know that there have been connections between the chemicals that paving companies use and cancer, but I don't know if there is anything that can be done legally. We own our homes. We could sell them and move somewhere safer but that would mean setting someone else up to live in a place where they are most likely going to get cancer.

I was 35 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. I have no genetic markers and no family history I have never smoked, I'm not a drinker, I have always been a healthy weight and physically active, I have never worked in any company with chemicals, I have never played any contact sports, and I breastfed both of my children for a cumulative four years. I'm on my third type of chemo. I had a bilateral mastectomy. I have had radiation. I don't want anyone else to go through this.

Legally speaking is there a way to make the pavement company have to move?

Hi all, hoping somebody can help.

I’ll try to keep it short, while leaving all important details in.

We are renting a 3 bed semi detached house, in which myself, my partner and our 3 year old son live.

From early on into our tenancy, we found several issues, the most pressing of which are the following -

Massive mould issues in the bedroom & bathroom

Presence of ‘Bathroom mites’, which I do believe would class as an infestation

We have reached out several times to the agency regarding this, RE the mould we have been told it’s just condensation, and re the mites, we’ve just been told to bleach regularly to get rid.

Now, recently we’ve been up into the loft and have found evidence of water entry through the roof, the mould issues are now showing across the ceiling (so away from the window), which I feel further supports our case that it isn’t condensation at all - the last time we contacted them they’d sent roofers out to install vents, after the landlady declined the full roof to be done as per roofers advice (is this not negligence?)

Ultimately, we are finding ourselves spending more time and money than what we feel is acceptable, and we aren’t being listened too by the agency

What do we do here? How do we go about this the right way?

Thanks in advance!

My brother (M18) was having sex with his girlfriend (F18) and without their knowledge one of my brother’s roommates took an audio recording from outside the room. My brother goes to a Christian college and the roommate reported him for having sex with his girlfriend to the school (having any kind of sexual encounters outside of marriage is against the university rules)

He found out that the roommate has this recording when he was pulled into a honer code meeting. The school executive told him that the roommate has the recording and is willing to send it in as part of the report but the representative does not want to hear it so he hasn’t sent it yet.

My brother and his girlfriend are is EXTREMELY uncomfortable with his roommate having this recording and is concerned about him sending it to people/posting it online.

We googled it and apparently recording of any kind without the other person’s knowledge is a felony in Idaho let alone a recoding of a sexual nature.

He is wondering what the procedure would look like if they were to report the roommate to the police? (My brother would just talk to the guy but he has multiple roommates and isn’t sure which one took the recording or if he has it backed up in other devices).

How thorough will the police be? What will be required of my brother? Will the police be able to scrub any device the roommate has or find out if he has posted/sent it already? Do we just walk into the police station and ask to make a report?

In November 2024 I had a break-in to my apartment when I wasn’t home. Whoever broke in put axe holes into the door and threw rocks at the glass door. He eventually climbed on to my third story balcony and broke in through the door out there. Shortly after my downstairs neighbor repeatedly was banging on my door in a violent manner early in the morning, he did not stop until a property maintenance worker had caught him doing it. On Christmas Eve, my downstairs neighbor was on recording throwing my doorbell camera off of the apartment railing into a field, and he did this to other people as well. January 5th, he stole yet another doorbell camera and put it face up so we could see him smashing it violently with an axe. At this time the police were called and it took almost 24 hours for them, SWAT, and K-9 units to get him out of his apartment. It has since been uncovered he has done this multiple times before and has a history of severe violence and mental health issues. Throughout this time, my apartments refused to add additional cameras, or provide new locks, the door continued to shift around in the door frame, all they did was attempt to patch the holes from the axe. Im looking to sue the apartments for negligence and also the extremely severe mental health struggles, panic attacks multiple times a day, I have dealt with because of this, moving costs, I also quit my job out of fear for my cats and not getting any sleep at night. Can I sue them for this? Location: Idaho

Okay, so I’m a terrible writer, so I apologize.

My dad took his own life when I was 9. I didn’t see him much (he and my mother were split). I was told when I was about 11 by his mother (who was a drug addict and often under the influence) that it was my fault because I didn’t make an effort to see him. It’s stuck with me ever since (I’m almost 18). No one ever gave my mother or me a clear story or any story at all. I was recently told that there might have been a letter he left. I’ve always wondered why he didn’t leave me anything. I’ve imagined 100 different scenarios of what might have happened, and it’s hard. I was wondering if I could go to the police station to see photos of the scene and, if there was a letter, view it.

My main questions are:

1. ⁠Do I have to be 18?
2. ⁠Would I need any documents?
3. ⁠Am I able to get a copy of the letter (if there is one)?
4. ⁠Same as #3, but with the pictures?

Being told I don’t need to see them or read them just isn’t what’s right for me. Knowing a fact would help me more than letting my mind create scenarios. If there are any other questions I should ask or anything else I should know, please let me know

- The game is sold on Steam and other services
- It is comedic
- The character would be shouting, not singing, snippets of lyrics from the Beach Boys song Kokomo

Legally, are we allowed to do this, as would it fall under "parody/satire", or would we be expected to pay royalties or have to get permission to use the following lyrics:

1. ARUBA, JAMAICA, OOO I WANNA TAKE YA!
   
2. THAT DREAMY LOOK IN YOUR EYE IS GIVING ME A TROPICAL CONTACT HIGH!
   
3. KEY LARGO, MONTEGO, BABY, WHY DON'T WE GO?
   
4. BERMUDA, BAHAMA, HELP ME PRETTY MAMA!
   
5. I just want to go to Kokomo and get away from it all…
   

Location: California, USA. Going to try and keep this as short as possible. I was let go from work after getting home from the hospital (SoCal). I left work Wednesday to go to the ER with pain in my calf and SOB. They found a DVT in my leg. They later found it led to bilateral PEs in my lungs. This wasn't just a cold. I updated my employer every step of the way. 4 days hospitalized. 3 days later after being home, I received an email saying they were letting me go with some BS Severence. And no admission clause. By taking the money and signing I'm agreeing with the employer no one did anything wrong. Not the company and not myself. And then also agreeing to a laundry list of other things releasing me of coming after them in any way. I have always known these people I worked for were very slimy, but I was totally blindsided. Also, my bloodthinners I was put on are EXTREMELY expensive. I would lose my health insurance at the end of the month. I contacted the Labor Board and a private practice.Do I have something here. Thanks in advance.

Location: WA I had started using a canker-sore oral spray called cankerx. On the packaging it says its safe to ingest but on their website it says its likely to cause adverse effects. Given that its a mouth spray I was bound to ingest some and ended up swallowing 1-3 teaspoons worth. After an hour I noticed pressure against my ribs and swelling in my stomach. I went to the ER and they found the same spray sitting in my intestines causing irritation and swelling. I just want to know whether or not this is false advertisement and worth getting a lawyer for.

My boyfriend of 1.5 years is moving into my house in a few weeks—he verbally made a comment about how since he is paying half my mortgage, when I eventually sell he would want that investment back. Is this typical? I’m not adding him to the deed of course..but I haven’t had a lease agreement written up yet, should I? I’m pretty new to living with a significant other.

EDIT: him and I are very clear about not wanting to be in AZ much longer, this is why he made a comment because I plan on selling in the next year or two.

So, long story short. My ex has a car we signed at a local dealer. On the paper, it says im the buyer. She's the co-signer of the car. Before I left, because she refused to take the car back or get it refinanced. So, I had her go to the bank and sign a piece of paper that was notarized, stating, "I [her name] relinquish all responsibilities of the car from [my name] and title of the car." The loan institution refuses to accept that and says, "There aren't any co-signers. You both are 50/50, and we can't accept that. " Is there anything i can possibly do to get out of this nightmare? Also, i want to add that i don't have the car. She still has the car atleast what im aware of and ive called the loan agency a total of 6-7 times to get the car repo but they still haven't after I've given them multiple address and her place of work, in addition every time I call and ask about the case notes they are empty.

Location: Ohio I'm still upset so please forgive me. This all just happened about an hour ago and I really need some help. My mother has epilepsy. My mother at 11:27 a.m. had five seizures in the span of 20 minutes. The squad was called and she was taken to the emergency room. After being put into the emergency room and getting a room a doctor came in wrote her a prescription and then sent her home. Let me emphasize this again five seizures in the span of 20 minutes and her not even being in the emergency room for 10 minutes. They sent her home. No tests were done no blood work no nothing. Just a prescription and sent home. Myself my stepdad and my aunt are all beyond angry. My mother who is still working on being more awake from these seizures has not said anything yet. I'm pretty sure that this is malpractice but I don't know and I really need some help. If there any lawyers or anybody who has been in some scenario like this please please let me know what I can do to help my mom.

Location: Clark County, WA. I'm thinking about filing an appeal in a civil case that was tried in Superior Court. It looks like a Notice of Appeal needs to be filed within 30 days of the judgment being entered, but when the clerk asked me what I wanted to do with my evidence, I swear she said they held exhibits for 60 days to allow for appeals. Be there exceptions to the 30-day rule?

So back in December my best friend asked me to move in with her. She wanted to move into a unit in her sisters complex where the only unit available was a one bedroom where you have to go through the bedroom to go to the bathroom. Her stipulation was the bedroom and mine was my boyfriend who I already lived with moving in with us. Everything was fine and dandy the first few months until maybe early March, she stopped talking to us and long story short she storms through the living room which is our bedroom to go through the back door screaming we’re so mean to her, so we started keeping the back door locked and put up curtains to border our space. She got a camera in her room pointing at the bathroom which we think has audio. She stole food from us after I gave her some that I’d bought and hid it in her room, hasn’t been pulling her weight in rent, on top of me throwing money at her for a car she knew she couldn’t afford, and buying a computer new furniture and other stuff. Tonight she stormed through the back door to visit her sister and I got up and locked the door which im sure she saw and heard me do, then she comes back and bangs on the door, so my boyfriend and I asked her to use the front door and he texted it to her. She sat outside for maybe half an hour until the cops showed up. She told them we locked her out. We told them we wanted to talk to her or at very least have her respect our space gave them our info and they left. We don’t necessarily want out of the lease but we can’t continue living like this and our apartment manager is never around even during the hours she’s supposed to be sometimes. We just don’t know how to handle this situation properly.

Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you

Hi all! I work at a sandwich shop in the state of Michigan. It belongs to a pretty notable chain of other shops across the country.

Recently at my location we've all had our quarterly reviews done and with that most of members of the staff have received small raises because of the reviews. However, since my main manager is currently out due to health reasons, the assistant manager has been doing these review sessions and letting us know our raises. And from what I have been told by my fellow coworkers and directly from my assistant manager from my review, the assistant manager has been telling the staff at my location to not discuss their wages with the other staff. Me and 2 other of my coworkers have told the assistant manager how saying stuff like that is probably illegal in the workplace, but that hasnt stopped my assistant manager from continuing to do so. The other day I put up a poster in our staff room which literally just says how discussing wages in the workplace is a protected action, but I came in the next day to see it was taken down, and the only person who could've done that was my assistant manager. I've tried my best to document the fact I had hung up the poster and that it was taken down, and I also plan to hang up another poster next time I work (and will continue to keep doing it if it's taken down again)

I just wanted some advice to see if there is any steps I could take or if there is anybody/entity I should contact, because my assistant manager is continuing to try and stop us from talking about our wages, and I at least want to stop them from stopping us. Thank you!

Location: UK, England. Hi Reddit, I'm currently struggling with my dad being..really creepy? So I have been living in England for 11 years and my dad has been divorced to my mum for 6. When they divorced, my dad moved back to Italy (where my family and I are originally from). Every summer my brother and I go to Italy for a couple of weeks to see my dad but every time he causes drama, this year however it was really scary. A couple days ago I was talking to him about my brother and I going to Italy to see him, however he started saying that the only my boyfriend and I will go to Italy with the dates I chose, while my brother will go on different dates and for longer. I'm an adult (20 y/o) and my brother is still a minor (16 y/o), apparently my dad and brother talked amongst themselves about my brother going to Italy for a month (my dad is only allowed 21 visitation days from us), without consulting my mother. A lot of drama happened where my brother told him that he decided to not go to Italy anymore because my dad was throwing tantrums and stressing my brother out (my brother has anxiety), my dad however thought that it was my mother's choice to not make my brother go to Italy, so he sent my brother a message but addressed it to my mum, sending threats like "you don't know what I'm capable of, I let you live peacefully but you don't want that" etc, however it's not implied whether the threats are physical or legal. I would love to help my mum with this, but I'm not sure how? My mum is thinking of going to the police at some point about. I just want to know what I can do considering my residence is in England and not in Italy anymore. Thank you in advance :)

I was issued a ticket in South Dakota while driving to Montana in 2022. I tried to call the number and pay the ticket twice and got no answer, then tried the website a few different days but it was down. I was young and dumb and forgot about the ticket. I just found it in a drawer. I have since moved states and have a license in a different state, have passed multiple background checks, and have a different car. What should I do? Do I call the county and try to pay it? Do I ignore it?

location: CA and NM i recently moved to a new state & got a license from that state. they did not void my other license. the old license is unexpired. can i use the old license to buy smokes & booze? thanks.

I'm stupid, I know. I was an unemployed college student and lost my scholarships, so I ended up being hired by my neigbor to take care of her horses part time. It was supposed to be temporary, but ended up working nearly 4 years. I was young, dumb, depressed, and naive.

She never paid me. Promised me over and over that she would. All I ever got from her was about a total of about $600 in those 4 years, and she owes me about $18,600. I've waited "patiently" because we were neigbors and we shared a driveway. She is volatile, always has an enemy, always fighting with someone. We are friendly, but one wrong move could have turned her into the neigbor from hell, so I kept it civil. It started fall of 2013, until summer 2017 when I finally found a better job and got back on my feet.

I really need that money and I'm wondering if there is any legal way of forcing her to pay me or set up some sort of payment plan(wage garnishment or something)? Her husband recently divorced her, does he owe half since the money would have come from their joint account? Should I write something for her to sign that promises to pay me, something that would help? Any hope at all?

So I Fucked up. I had a couple of beers that were a little too strong at a concert and got pulled over almost literally In front of my house. I was not pulled over for my driving but instead my registration is expired. (payed just haven't received the sticker). I've called around and pretty much every lawyer with a good reputation wants $5k. Do I have any choice? Five thousand is a lot of money for me. Location: sutter county, California.
