1. Homeless Probation
  
  And there is the rub. Can you continue to run the risk of health and public safety issues with squatters blocking streets, littering the streets, environment and waterways, associated criminal activity (drugs, alcohol, sexual assaults, etc.), and a host of other issues related both to quality...

2. Homeless Probation
  
  Comparing systems from foreign countries is usually not as simple as it might sound. Certainly there may be lessons to take away, but even in Europe they lack the deeply enshrined freedoms that we so often take for granted that also prevent the government from compelling people to act in their...

3. Homeless Probation
  
  Out here in California we started eliminating laws (through case law and statute reform) that were seen as punitive towards homelessness 20 years ago - much to the chagrin of those who have to live in areas overrun by the homeless. Most recently, all of us in the 9th Circuit have to abide by...

4. Homeless Probation
  
  But, as posted by others, SC seems to require a residence for probation. That's both good, and bad, since it implies adequate jail space and staffing, but it also means that people can end up remaining in custody even if it is not necessarily the best course of action for their rehabilitation...

5. Homeless Probation
  
  It seems absurd - and damned well unconstitutional - to effectively criminalize someone for being homeless. I get that probation is a privilege and not a right, but, it does seem to be contrary to the wave of touchy-feely-hug-a-criminal mentality that seems to be sweeping much of the country...

6. Homeless Probation
  
  As a note, there are a great number of homeless people on probation. It should not be an issue so long as he otherwise follows the conditions provided to him.

7. Held at gunpoint in apartment complex-apartment didnt even know about it next day
  
  Most of us possess some measure of control over our circumstances. There are almost always options. It's a matter of whether or not your fear outweighs the discomfort of the option taken. As I said, if I truly feared for my life, I would not stay another minute where I was. I suspect...

  Capable ... as in possessing the resources, personal comfort, and drive/wherewithal to make it happen. Some people like to express concern and throw the onus upon others to take action when they refuse to do so.

9. Held at gunpoint in apartment complex-apartment didnt even know about it next day
  
  I'm not saying that one is any safer somewhere else, but, perceptions are reality for most of us. When asking what one can do, any potential legal action is long in coming and does not affect one's safety in the short run. If I felt inordinately UNsafe somewhere, I'd be gone. There are almost...

10. Held at gunpoint in apartment complex-apartment didnt even know about it next day
  
  If you do not feel safe you might be able to leverage your experience - and the lack of a functioning elevator - into a right to break the lease and move. I know that I would not want to stay somewhere that I felt unsafe.

  You specifically mentioned three. What other tests did he perform? No. Marijuana can trigger the eyes in different ways, but other drugs CAN trigger VGN and/or HGN. (As a note, I am a DUI instructor and a DRE - Drug Recognition Expert.) Marijuana is often a companion drug, so we find it as...

13. DUI dropped however
  
  Maybe to you, but if he was heading in the opposite direction and you appeared to be swerving into his lane forcing him to evade, that can be frightening! And swerving into a car or off road while fiddling with the phone, GPS or radio would make you just as dead or grievously injured as a DUI...

14. Ex-fiancée asking me to pay back money she says I owe her
  
  This could be a case of a hacked or stolen FB account. Someone may have used her profile to send similar and vague demands to a number of people. Though, if you weren't "friends" on FB this becomes less likely. But, in the past few years I have heard of a great many bizarre schemes.

  If this is truly how it went down, the cops are not going to get involved as it is a civil matter and not a criminal one. If the other guy wants to take you to Small Claims Court, he is free to try.
