Sex Offender Registration for Juvenile Offenders May Not Be Effective
2012-07-25
It's a fact of life: children make mistakes. Often, these mistakes provide an opportunity for a parental figure to teach the child the difference between inappropriate and appropriate behavior. Unfortunately, occasionally these mistakes can lead to a lifetime of punishment - for example, when the mistake leads to accusations of juvenile sex offenses.
One man is living this particular nightmare. When he was 12 years old he had inappropriate contact with his eight year old sister. He states it was never penetrative, but was more aptly described as exploratory touching. ...
Not So Fast: FMCSA Study Finds Benefits of Speed Limiters in Trucks
2012-07-25
There are various factors that cause accidents involving large commercial vehicles like driver fatigue, overly heavy loads and distracted driving. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), however, has previously cited speeding as one of the top causes of deadly truck crashes. To help get truckers to slow down, the FMCSA commissioned a study on the safety benefits of requiring commercial vehicles to install speed limiters. The study results seemed to demonstrate that speed limiters prevent truck crashes.

Overtime Lawsuits on the Rise
2012-07-25
A recent USA Today report reveals an unexpected consequence of our country's economic woes -- more lawsuits seeking compensation for unpaid overtime. There were 32 percent more unpaid overtime lawsuits filed in 2011 than in the three years prior.
Legal experts deduce that the number of lawsuits has risen sharply due in part to the fact that myriad companies have slashed labor forces in an effort to cut costs. This leaves fewer workers with a higher workload than before, often at a lower wage or without being fairly compensated for extra hours put in on the job. Many ...
Some Philadelphia Area Tax Preparers Charged With Fraud
2012-07-25
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." It is an old adage, but it bears repeating. Unfortunately, a recent article in Forbes magazine reveals that many innocent taxpayers who think they are getting something good and having their taxes professionally prepared for a low price are instead becoming the victims of tax scams by trusting "unscrupulous preparers."
Although most tax preparers continue to run honest and legitimate practices, some are taking advantage of clients. Three professionals in the Philadelphia area alone were barred from ...
Tasers: Useful Tool or Excessive Force?
2012-07-25
The United States Supreme Court has refused to hear two cases regarding the use of Tasers by law enforcement, missing an opportunity to clarify existing law and better protect Taser victims injured by law enforcement in the line of duty.
While the high court has yet to evaluate their use, many in the legal community question the use of these painful devices when trying to subdue individuals suspected of a crime.
A Missed Opportunity to Clarify Taser Law
In one case, three police officers from Seattle wanted a chance to clear their names from an excessive use of ...
Is it Constitutional to Ban Sex Offenders From Social Networks?
2012-07-25
Last month, a Federal District Court Judge in Indianapolis upheld an Indiana law prohibiting sex offenders from accessing social networking websites after the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) challenged the law as part of a class action on behalf of sex offenders.

The constitutionality of banning sex offenders from Internet websites has been brought to light recently and continues to be a hot topic.

Texas Child Support Orders After the Age of Majority
2012-07-25
Most people understand the basics of child support. They know that child support payments are ordered to provide funds for the care and welfare of children. The money is generally paid with blanket instructions to the children's caregivers to use the money for the children's physical, mental, educational and religious upbringing, but some child support orders are more detailed, breaking down precisely how the money is to be spent.
Some child support orders are valid for particular lengths of time, and some are open-ended. For the most part, though, Texas child support ...

2012-07-25

New Massachusetts Alimony Law Makes Divorce Less of a Gamble
2012-07-25
Until recently, the prospect of alimony in Massachusetts was filled with uncertainty for spouses in a divorce. Courts had significant latitude to order lifetime alimony, even after short marriages. Going to court to overturn alimony in a divorce could be a gamble.
Sparked in part by a Massachusetts man who spent more than $250,000 and entered bankruptcy after a judge refused to reduce his $45,000-a-year alimony payments, a task force of family law attorneys, legislators and others created a proposal for the most dramatic and fundamental changes to the state's divorce ...
Study: Connecticut Women Less Likely to Violate Cellphone Ban
2012-07-25
A recent study of Connecticut drivers has disproven the old myth that women can't stop talking on the phone. Since the law banning hand-held cellphones went into effect six years ago, men have consistently been ticketed more often than women for talking on hand-held cellphones or texting while driving.
The study, conducted by the Associated Press, found that, of the total number of drivers ticketed for distracted driving in 2006, between 52 and 54 percent were men. In 2011 alone, men received nearly 16,000 tickets while women got only 13,690; in 2010, the tally of tickets ...
