It would be best to check local ordinances. Even if you're in the clear by way of statutes in disabling wiring or controls, there is the potential of impersonation.

A BankPymtForm at a grocery store is typically an authorization... View More

Is anyone at fault? Not really. Or to be more precise, no one's fault would be seriously investigated or analyzed in such a situation, since there were no injuries. I'm glad you were not hurt. But from a legal standpoint, such a setting is not considered legally significant. If there WERE... View More

Your question is quite broad, so I will try to address the most common ways financial or currency-related issues might intersect with paternity rights in Washington. Generally speaking, a father's right to establish paternity and seek custody or visitation is not directly affected by financial... View More

You’re looking at a store-specific code. “OP14” almost always means “Operator 14” or an internal point-of-sale shorthand tied to the cashier, terminal, or a particular transaction mode such as a price override or manual entry. It does not, by itself, carry any special legal meaning in... View More
