I have no idea what you are talking about.

And the 1898 code is defunct, as the 2005 code... View More

"Illegal procedure" according to whom and under what laws? Maritime law? Who died? Who is complaining? The licensed physician can worry about his own ethical and medical obligations under his/her license.

As you see, it is impossible to respond to your concern, as drafted, sorry.

Threatening to take someone to court if they do not pay a legitimate debt is legal.

Contact a local attorney experienced with defamation cases. They are tough cases under Missouri law because you must prove actual damages. Here is a link to the leading Missouri Supreme Court case on defamation.

Q: For a documented vessel that is going to be used in the state of Florida do you have to pay sales tax?

Vessel was bought in the state of Florida and is staying in the state. I have heard you do not have to pay sales tax because it is a documented vessel and I have also heard that you do have to pay but only when you sell your vessel.

Hello,

To clarify, are you asking about the punishment for a member of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Merchant Marine, or someone else? Are the insulting words coming from a service member or a private citizen? And are the words profane and/or false, or something else? Thank you.
