Your iPod or phone could be worth millions of dollars, but don’t jump for joy just yet. What we mean is that more than likely, it has hundreds of songs on there that were illegally downloaded and if you are caught, it can cost you a very pricey consequence. Under federal law, offenders can face […]

Let’s take a little history lesson, a rather important one. In grade school, we learn about the Constitution and Bill of Rights. These rights have protected the people for over 200 years and continue to do so, so it is imperative for the people to know their rights and know if and when they are […]

People generally think that being the younger sibling is “better” and “more fun.” Parents are more lax with their second child, having raised the first child and seeing the pros and cons to their parenting style.

The 8th Amendment protects people from non-excessive bail. What exactly everyone agrees to be non-excessive is subjective, of course. However, there are extreme circumstances in which the court must take drastic action to prevent further injustices and incur proper consequences, beyond a bail amount a person can, but doesn’t have to, pay. Kim Freeman was […]
On average, bail amounts equate to roughly $10,000. If you think this is expensive, you ought to check out some of the most expensive bail in U.S. history: Raj Rajaratnam, $100 million bail. He was involved in a $20 million insider-trading scheme. Bernie Madoff, $10 million bail. He was involved in the $50 billion Ponzi […]
In each state, judges are responsible for setting bail amounts for arrested people. This is called a “bail schedule” and each bail price is based on the severity of the crime.

In Carmel, a man may not leave his house wearing a jacket and pants that do not match. If you want to walk an elephant down Market Street in San Francisco, the elephant must be on a leash.

If you think the parking sign restrictions in Los Angeles are ridiculous, you should read up on these uber-ridiculous laws in the LA/Southern California area that are out-dated and just plain absurd. A man may not dress as a woman in Walnut unless the sheriff gives permission. You can only use your own bathroom as […]
