Question: How many people know the actual fedral statutes including DEA regarding Absinthe posession? sarge927, please revisit the post you so stupidly replied to & back it up with some statutes for me. Otherwise, I've brought in 3-4 dozen bottles that have not been intradicted so shut the f*** up and don't spread government propeganda, worry about catching illegals or narcotics.

Answer: it is illegal to sell 'real' absinthe in america, however it is not illegal to consume it, or buy in a forgein country (or online) and bring it into america. unfortunately pretty much all absinthe sold around the world is not the 'real' stuff they had back in the day............. to back it up..... Traditional absinthe has been illegal to sell in the U.S. since 1912, because it contains the chemical thujone. However, in 2007 some products labelled as "absinthe" were approved for sale in the United Stated. The situation is somewhat complex, but the short version is that the agency that now regulates alcohol in the U.S. (the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) defines "thujone free" (an FDA requirement for any food made with Absinthe's defining herb wormwood) as meaning less than 10 parts-per-million (10mg/L) thujone. It is an ongoing debate whether "thujone free" absinthe should be considered authentic, with the common understanding being that traditional absinthe contained higher levels of thujone but current manufacturers arguing that vintage absinthe had similarly low levels of thujone. Whatever the truth of their arguments, the modern low-thujone absinthes are being widely publicized as the first legal absinthes in the U.S. since the 1912 ban. http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/absinthe…

Answer: yeah ofcourse!

Question: Do you think that Strict Liability statutes should be allowed? Do you think that "strict liability" statutes should be allowed? Don't they put an accused at a distinct disadvantage?

Answer: Society as a whole has deemed certain areas of such importance that the accused's "actual knowledge" is immaterial. Typically used in inherently dangerous activities such as the use of dynamite, or handling wild animals, and also for certain types of product liability (manufacturer who releases the defective product to the general marketplace or "stream of commerce"). Also in areas like statutory rape, where "I didn't know she was 15" is not a valid defense. I don't see any problem with applying this to especially dangerous activities. It's a finer line, I think, when it comes to crimes such as statutory rape, especially cases involving consensual sex.

Question: Should Courts Have the Power to Declare Statutes Unconstitutional? Statutes are enacted by elected representatives, or, in some jurisdictions, by direct vote of the people. Should unelected judges have the right to declare statutes unconstitutional?

Answer: If not them, then who? If there is no one to declare a law unconstitutional, then what is to stop a state from bringing back slavery, or a ballot referendum to ban Libertarians? Even when justices are not elected by the people, they are appointed and approved by elected officials.

Question: Can anyone produce NC general statutes in reference to prohibited equipment?

Question: How do I respond, with written answer to summons, in respect to Chapter 802, or WI Statutes? I received a summons, or lawsuit for non-payment of a personal loan. I need to answer to the summons, with a written letter, as defined by Chapter 802 of the Wisconsin Statutes. I have no clue what I need to put in my letter. Can anyone help, quickly?

Answer: Hi, What you have to fill out, or write, is called an 'Answer". You are supposed to write down whether or not you agree that their claim in a true one...in other words, that you feel you owe or, do not owe the loan. You need to agree or disagree to the amount they are suing for. You need to let them know any reason for defaulting on the loan...like you were out of work or for a medical reason, something to that effect. You NEED to, if you agree you owe the loan, tell the court that you agree and are willing to repay the loan and that you can afford to pay $XX.00 amount each month, week or, however you can pay it with out defaulting. The courts will allow you to do this. You will be responsible for all the court fees etc. for their claim if they win. I believe this is due on the day of the hearing. If you do not pay the loan in the agreed installments, they can petition the Sheriff to take any of your belongings that they want to pay the loan. If you are disabled, however, they cannot take anything. Good luck! JOSA

Question: The federal government has seen Rico statutes are a valuable tool in prosecuting organized criminal enterprise? Discuss how criminal and civil RICO statutes have been used to fight organized crime. Are these RICO statutes overly broad, as critics contend?

Answer: Well that was kind of the whole point of the statutes. It requires a whole lot less burden of proof on the part of the government. So it is much easier to get a conviction. It allows the government to convict the godfather or president of a company without having to prove they personally perform any actual crime.

Answer: I totally agree! Adoptees having been fighting for their records for years. Adoptees are faced with discrimination due to the sealing of our adoption records and birth certificates. not one single parental surrendering rights paper has ever been found that promises confidentiality, yet our largest opponents claim this is the reason for the records sealing. You would think that "implied secrecy" wouldn't stand a chance in court for petitioning for my records, however the state of california still refuses to give them to me. Even though, there has NEVER been a confidentiality promise written into law, or surrender paper. They don't exist. The problem here lies in the interpretation or mis-interpretation of the law. I have a right to my birth certificate as an adopted citizen, there is no misinformation there. History clearly shows that records weren't sealed to keep the surrendering parents and adoptees from having access to one anothers information, it was to protect adoptees from the stigma of being born illegitimate children in a different time when stigmas changed your life. Its time for the laws to reflect adoptees as equal citizens and these ancient laws need reformation.

Question: Should the Supreme Court have the right to overturn state statutes? In Roper vs. Simmons, the supreme court ruled that it was unconstitutional to execute someone who committed the crime while they were a minor. They said it violated the 8th amendment and it was cruel and unusual punishment. My question is: Is this a constitutional question which allows the us supreme court to overturn statutes or should the states have the right to determine how the 8th amendment should be applied under their inherent police powers?

Answer: If a state law may conflict with a constitutional protection, it isn't just a matter of state law anymore, so my answer to your question is, yes.

Question: What would be the statutes of limitations for 500+ forgeries in Washington State? I need to know, what would the statutes of limitations be for 500+ forgeries committed by one man in Washington State?

Answer: it's not a matter of number, it's when was the last one done, and at one point did the person legally harmed know or should have known. it's generally one year. but be careful, statute of limitations means when were charges brought, not how long the person has been able to avoid the police and getting arrested. if they have been charged, just not caugh, statute of limitations is out the window

Question: What are the statutes for reporting a noise complaint? I live in an apartment complex in Florida and am curious as to what constitutes a legitimate noise complaint (i.e. time of day, amount/type of noise, etc)? How would one file a noise complaint?

Answer: It depends on the city where you live. Call the police when you think you have a legitimate reason to complain about the noise going on in your neighborhood. The police can explain to you if what he heard and observed was the kind of noise that is prohibited by the city ordinance or maybe by a state law.
