Sounds like an egregious conflict of interests. Why are you doing this?

It's both. It shouldn't be legally important, unless you're dealing with some kind of contract or agreement that makes a distinction between the two. Good luck

I'm trying to learn how to read legal contacts. If a contract involves fictitious or ens legis entities and/or natural persons i.e. real human beings, and as a corporation can have a name that could be confused with a "real person," how do you tell in the contract language which is which?

Based on your description, it appears that the officer may have exceeded the lawful limits of his authority during the traffic stop. The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures, and law enforcement officers generally need a warrant or... View More

Based on what you've written, I don't think you did anything wrong. Most officers, at least those I've interacted with, will run license plates randomly or really whenever they are driving behind someone. A lot of police cars are also now equipped with automatic license plate... View More

Likely possession of both marijuana and paraphernalia. Depending on other circumstances, you could be facing additional charges. I suggest retaining an attorney to assist you and ensure any potential pentolites are kept at a minimum.

You can file for unemployment, and contest the firing but you may likely not win. Using an N95 mask protects you and others. Vaccine likewise. I don't see anyone succeeding but that's just my opinion. As a heads up, expect no sympathy from the court, or anyone for that matter.

It's hard to say without knowing more. Maybe the police contacted him and he was normal when they talked to him. They don't have an obligation to check on everyone. However an attorney who specializes in police actions would be the best bet to contact.
When I say “mutual combat” I mean mutually agreed upon fighting (without weapons), with set agreed upon rules, and witnesses with the intent of settling a dispute and not for any other malicious purposes.
