Discrimination is never acceptable, regardless of how widespread it may be within an organization. If you are experiencing or witnessing discrimination, the appropriate course of action is to report it through the proper channels and seek assistance in addressing the issue.

You should not be charged for harboring a fugitive if you did not know he had a warrant. He should retain an attorney to represent him on the criminal charges or go to the Public Defender if he cannot afford private counsel.
I recently did a promissory note with my HOA that I would like to cancel.

There is nothing illegal about requiring identification to enter a public building. It helps provide security in case something happens.
I also had switched insurance providers so, would that be a factor as well?

In Maryland, you can cross where there is an unmarked crosswalk. An unmarked crosswalk is an area where roads intersect, but there are no crosswalk markings. If there is a marked crosswalk at an intersection, you must use the marked crosswalk.
Police were notified and the vehicle is still sitting in the same place (public road) without tags, for more than 90 days
