The store can require you to wear a mask if you want to shop inside the store. It is a state requirement that everyone must wear a mask if you want to go inside any store which remains open for business in California. Last I checked, Orange County was still part of California. The governor has... View More

Sounds like a real Catch 22 doesn't it? You go in to buy a mask because you don't have one, but they won't let you in because you don't have a mask on.

It seems to me that before they can refuse entry due to lack of a mask, they must first offer you one to wear while you... View More

You are asking if your employer can require you to give them notification before you get tested? Probably not, if you do it on you own time and at your own expense. But in any event the only way, that I can think of that your employer would know you are got tested would be if you told them... View More

They certainly can if she has not demanded a speedy trial. If she has made such a demand, there is an analysis that gets done about whether her right to a speedy trial is being violated and if so, what the remedy should be. One such remedy might be release from custody. Another such remedy could... View More

You question is ambiguous, because I don't understand what you mean by "body search". If that means to search you for contraband, such as items the shelter's rules may prohibit you from bringing into the shelter, then the answer is yes, you can be searched for prohibited items... View More

The new orders issued yesterday and today from the Office of the Governor now create a state-wide mandate for the use of masks in public places. This means if you are over 2 years old (because if you are under 2 you cannot read the Order) you have to wear a face mask, waiting in line to enter a... View More

Newspapers regularly decide which letters to publish. Your comments are no different than a letter to the editor. They don't have to print every letter they get, and the same goes for the comments to their articles online. The editors always have the last say on what gets published, even in... View More

I have never seen anyone ask for legal advice for a friendly spar. No lawyer would advise you to engage this behavior since we all know how things could escalate. Not to mention that is clearly against all covid guidelines. If your question has to do with parks and covid, that is controlled... View More

Continue to try to work with the DMV. Things should be opening up now, so you need to get an appointment asap to take the driver's license test and get your license issued. You cannot buy a car without a license, no matter whether you have the money.

The security guard was correct. It would be a violation of the law for the store to allow you to enter. Under current state and local county orders concerning the COVID-19 pandemic all patrons of grocery or other retail stores are required to wear masks for their own safety, for the safety of other...

I agree with Mr. Minnick. You'd have to seek a Court ruling that the municipality's action is not legally valid, and to do that, you would need to challenge the constitutionality of the action. There are various "levels of scrutiny" that the Courts use to determine if the... View More
