Social Security's Compassionate Allowances Program
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is notorious for its slow pace in processing claims, especially if the person making the claim has been denied and is seeking an appeal hearing to contest.

In the past, police officers on the scene of an accident that caused personal injury or death had the right to use chemical tests to measure blood or urine to determine intoxication ...

Strangulation Bill Becomes Law
In the past, those convicted of strangulation in cases of domestic violence received a misdemeanor with light penalties in instances where the individual was not killed.

Passing unanimously in both houses of the state legislature and signed not long after by Governor Bill Haslam, the new law makes strangulation a type of aggravated assault, which is a felony crime with a sentence between three to six years in jail.
Supporters of the measure say the ...

Police Are Increasing Their Forces This Halloween for DUI Violations
2011-10-22
Halloween is a time of year when law enforcement is out in record numbers to crack down on DUIs.
Apparently, DUIs have been on the rise since 2006, according to AAA's website, but not all DUIs result in fatalities or even injuries. In fact, even though the records show that DUI-related arrests have increased, actual car crashes involving DUIs have decreased 10% over the past three years.
Many citizens believe this decrease has been due to the Highway Patrol's increasing of DUI checkpoints at certain times of the year. According to statistics, there is always a rise ...
