Its amazing to me that there are actually arguments in favor of the notion that the study of astronomy is pointless. We cannot live on this plant forever, it is doomed by forces in the universe that...

The knowledge that the image of a star is something that reflects past, not current reality is an important bit of knowledge to the science of astronomy. In determing how long it takes for the...

I'm referring to a criminal summons where I either arrested someone or was directed to appear at a violation of probation hearing when I was a PO, and was being advised of the court date. The point...

In addition to all the above, the communist states of today are really just totalitarian states that do not reflect any of the grand notions of true, utopian communism. China and North Korea are...

Every summons I received over the years from the Maryland district court (the lower level state court) was by regular mail. The circuit court (higher level than district) always sent the sheriff out...

You never heard of a person pleading guilty the original charge but to a reduced sentence? I saw it on a regular basis.

You will never see a prosecutor have anything to do with a probation case unless there is a violation of probation. Otherwise, they know nothing about the probation and their contact information is...

A summons that has no information about who sent it? That seems very odd to me. There must at least be a return address on the envelope. Every summons I ever received stated who it was from and what...

Sure a summons can be issued by an attorney's office, that's why I said information "such as" the clerk'sffice. In other words there has to be contact information on the thing so that you can find...

The summons must be asking you to do something specific, can you provide a bit more detail? There should also be contact information (such as the address or phone number of the court clerk's office)...

If you are saying that you want to apply for unsupervised probation before the money is paid, that is not likely to happen because unsupervised probation normally has no conditions except staying out...

Well that makes quite a difference! You shouldn't have to do anything if that is the case. You don't apply for unsupervised probation if it ends, the probation is simply over.

The PO is supposed...

I was a PO in Maryland for 7 years (resigned when my caseload reached 356 criminal cases) and have found that a judge might change a case to unsupervised status if, first of all, all the conditions...

In addition to all of the above, most people don't seem to be aware that tons of matter from space falls on the Earth every day. Seeing something like that might not be as unusual as people think....

Yup, and the conclusions reached have to be verifiable by others before they are accepted as "law." Someone comes up with the idea, for example, that strong gravity from large objects in space bends...

For sure, the information provided above simply depicts incidents in which the goings-on didn't leave much doubt in the minds of the people experiencing them as to what was happening. But, as I said,...

I don't know if anyone here has ever killed a person or tried to do so... I certainly have... fired three shots at an armed robber awhile back... and felt perfectly justified in doing so as this...

Try to get some of this stuff on videotape-it does wonders if you have to go to court... You mention the Gardaí... I take it you are in Ireland... The laws concerning this stuff and the use of...

I see what you are saying, when I said "every case I ever saw", I meant every case that went to trial. As a bailiff or police officer sitting in a court room, I wouldn't see much of a case if there...

What you are talking about is called "discovery." The only way to avoid trial is for the prosecutor to drop the charges. Discovery permits the defense to prepare its case. If discovery reveals to...

For sure... I worked as a police officer and a bailiff in Maryland District Court and have seen cases lost because the officer didn't remember elements of the offense. In some cases the officer...

I was a PO in Maryland for 7 years and it should be perfectly clear on your probation order as to the length of the probation and the exact terms as well. I was required to go over all this stuff...

Of course this will likely vary from state to state, but in my state (MD), the area you are talking about is considered the "van access" area, and is provided so that there is room for a vehicle...

So what you're saying is that in the cases you are familiar with, a deposition is given in a radar case, which means that in a lawyer's office someplace, a sworn statement is given about the case...

Since most of the above was other people's words, let me add a few of my own about the "fear of ridicule" aspect of our current situation. There is no doubt in my mind that as our primitive society...

If you can read the writing on my avatar, you can see that I worked for NASA during the Apollo XI mission, the one in which mankind first landed on the Moon.

If you can read the writing on my avatar, you can see that I worked for NASA during the Apollo XI mission. First of all, I wouldn't call a light in the sky a star because it could be virtually...

I took a lot of astronomy in college and I can guanrantee you that when you look up in the sky, you are not seeing the stars or other distant objects as they are now, but what they looked light when...

A deposition in a simple traffic ticket case is unheardof in my training and experience. I think the OP might not be using the correct term. It's a sworn statement given by a party in a case in...

When I was a PO in Maryland we had something called the ADR system. This stands for "arrest, disposition and reporting." Whenever a person was picked up by the police within the state, an automatic...

I'm not on here asking for help in dealing with the Moonies, I merely asked a specific question hoping to stimulate some conversation on a limited topic. We as a community are dealing with these...

Not everyone would agree that the Vietnam War is over. It is certainly over for the U.S. but conflicts in the region continue.

The problems they are causing are at community meetings. One of their representatives is trying to get the membership to vote to buy a house in the community so that it can be used to store items and...

Its one sentence from the leader of the movement. I understand now that they want to be called "Sunnies." These people have caused some problems in our community as well as to me personally and I...

Check out "The Blair Witch Project." It is filmed to look like a documentary and will make you not want to go camping for awhile. The fact that just about every other word is a curse word is also...

I even tried some of the online yellow pages sites and can't find anything. How did they hire you and where did you find out about them? Very curious that they are invisible on the Internet. What...

You could also do the same by calling the local police or sheriff. I live in MD and the court system has its own free website to look at both civil and criminal proceedings. Do an Internet search for...

I sure is! The judge is the only person who can dismiss a case that the prosecution has gone forward on...

I will have to admit that am always abit surprised to see objections being raised to my comments that have nothing to do with what I said. I mentioned or suggested nothing about laws being just or...

Yes, ability to pay and obeying a court order are certainly two different things. We were supplied with all sorts of resources to help these people find jobs. With my training and experience, its is...

Child support matters are not civil in every state, in Maryland, failure to pay child support falls under Article 27, Section 88 of the state code, a criminal statute. I have it memorized because I...

Go to the clerk's office and fill out a form for a continuance. State your reasons in the strongest terms. While you are there, stop off at the public defender's office. Despite what you seem to...

In the state where I was a PO (MD), there is a standard condtion of probation and parole that states "Obey all laws." This applies to court orders, such as child support orders. In other words,...

Obviously this question is directed at caregivers, which I am not, but my second wife was a nurse at a VA hospital. The movie, which is based on the true story of a man who recognized the value of...

By studying the root causes of crime and making suggestions to public and private agencies about what to do about it. A good example would be to look at how parents raise their kids and what values...

You will never see a comet "streak across the sky". The Hale-Bopp comet of 1997 looked stationary if you saw it with the naked eye. You probably saw some of the material that falls on the earth...
