The statute does not specify whether this applies only to public/community colleges and universities. Does this prohibition also apply to private universities?... View More

A basic principle of statutory construction is if a statute omits something, it’s presumed that the legislature intended to do so. You should assume, therefore, that the plain reading of the statute does apply to ALL colleges or universities.
No college can offer you an exception to your... View More

Your husband already solved the problem; all you need to do is hire a criminal defense lawyer before the police come back-early one morning.
I have been combing through the definitions (790.001) and have not found anything that defines camping as hiking with an overnight stay. I have tried looking into the other state laws for definitions and hints for the better part of a week now (like TITLE XVIII PUBLIC LANDS AND PROPERTY) and have... View More

When a term is not defined in a statute, courts and administrative agencies use the ordinary dictionary definition. No, hiking is hiking and camping is camping. Also, read in context, the likely legislative intent of the camping exception is to allow camping hunters to have their long guns out... View More

What is it you want to know? If they sue you for damages, it will be a matter of your word against theirs. And, of course, they will have to prove that the property was damaged in that amount (normally decreased value of their real property). If it was merely dead trees and vines, it is... View More
Im in florida. The father has no criminal history and makes great money and dorsnt do drugs. Cant i just sign the baby over before ots born to avoid it going into the system?
answered on Jan 22, 2020
Since you are not married the best thing to do before the baby is born is to make sure the father agrees to claim the baby is his and have the hospital or doctor put his name on the birth certificate. Then you can start proceedings to turn the child over to their legal father.
Police listen and record call without a judges ok can they use it for probable cause to stop , pull me out of my truck,take my keys,bring me 2 cars away, search locked bank bag and safe, then seized my money?
answered on Nov 23, 2019
The general rule is that a warrant is required to listen on phone calls, but there are exceptions. One would be if the police utilized an informant to place the call. As for the vehicle stop and search, it's impossible to say whether the police had probable cause, as we don't know what... View More

You cannot sue the State of Florida--or the Florida Department of Financial Services--for punitive damages under any theory of law. Sign the settlement agreement and accept the $100 Florida apparently owes you.

There is always risk and the devil is in the details. However, there are a couple of issues to consider:
1. Who took the picture? That is the copyright owner. Your use may depend on having the right to use the picture for this purpose. You would likely argue that the photo is subject to... View More

It's difficult to understand your question when you use a single run-on sentence; but as I understand it the police towed the car that was packed in the yard and you want to know if that's legal. It would depend upon the local ordinance pertaining to parking. It may be, for example,... View More
Constitution:
If the 12th amendment to the Constitution is ever repealed, would the procedure of electing a president revert to the procedure outlined in Article 2, Clause 2&3?
answered on Sep 18, 2019
It's almost pointless answering such a hypothetical question, but I would guess that such an amendment would probably provide a new process.
If I'm not driving under the influence or doing anything illegal and an officer suspects I have marijuana on my person, can they search/detain/arrest me?

Amend the trust. If you put your homestead into a trust, a separate entity you need to comply with the law to get the homestead exemption.

No, in my opinion you don't have grounds for a lawsuit against the physician. If I were you I would contact your insurance company, explain the situation, and see if they will waive their rules.
