1. Community College forces students to buy only their e-books
  
  Some ebooks have exercises, quizzes, and other add-ons associated with them and these would vary by edition - often changing every year or two. In my experience both as a grad student and instructor was that while it was possible to order the ebook through the student bookstore, as long as you...

2. How to Retrieve Property
  
  Hey, if it is worth it for your wife to spend a couple thousand dollars (or more) in travel expenses and a few days off over the next year or two to try and obtain $1,500 in goods in civil court, bully for her. Criminally, this is all but a nonstarter. But, if she wants to give that a go she...

3. How to Retrieve Property
  
  The police do not "need" to do anything. As explained to you on the other site, this is an easier civil matter than a criminal one. If you have the police conduct a standby while you speak to the BIL, they will keep the peace but they will NOT arrest the BIL or force him to return the...

4. Probation Confidentiality
  
  We had a homeless guy who would intentionally get sauced, go to the ER, and then seek admission to an alcohol rehab facility on cold weekends. I'm sure he wasn't the only one, but since they had to be brought in (referred) by law enforcement, that's how it went..

5. Probation Confidentiality
  
  Many people put on probation in CA for drugs or misdemeanor offenses are given unsupervised probation, or, what is often called court probation. In such instances there is no probation officer assigned to the subject. You may have to make a call to the Probation Department and ask them where...

6. Rape statute of limitations? Harassment by perp
  
  FYI, the OP clarified that the perp. lives in Missouri and that was where the abuse took place. If so, it appears that the SoL may continue until 10 years beyond the 18th birthday, or 3 years after the discovery of the physical or psychological injury caused by the abuse. She might consider...

  I've heard tales of some being very aggressive. They count on a small percentage buying into the fear they create and caving in to pay them in gift cards. GIFT CARDS!

8. Oh no! My ssn is being suspended!
  
  My wife has gotten three of these alleged Social Security calls in the last few weeks, and I have gotten one. We both just hang up. To answer the question about why nothing can be done, they tend to be lesser attempts at crimes and are often shielded through a series of dummy numbers and IP...

9. suspended license
  
  Maybe. As asked, WHY was your license suspended? And if your suggestion is how you might best break the law and get away with it, you can expect little aid here. If you want some suggestions as to how best to address your problem and maybe regain a valid license you will have to provide some...

10. suspended license
  
  First, refrain from writing in all capital letters - it is considered a form of shouting. Second, WHY is your license about to be suspended? If suspended, are you aware of the penalties for continued driving on a suspended license? Jail? Loss of your car? Fines?

12. Fine for no registration if police didn't ask for proof
  
  Not safe to be sitting nose into a computer screen while you have a subject pulled over and potentially hiding evidence or plotting to do you harm. Officer safety 101. If you want to know what you're dealing with, the officer has a radio and a dispatcher, but that doesn't tell you everything.

13. How to proceed when I get a misdemeanor 12500a vc for driving without a CA license, though I had CA permit and International DL?
  
  The DMV out here has closed offices and cut staff. There have been numerous news stories on increased wait times for everything. My area lost one of their two offices, and they only have 2 people to do behind the wheel tests ... and while they do them, the office drops from 3 to 2 workers...

  Wow! They either have uber-capable dispatchers, or operate the MDC while moving or while stationary and before contact (unsafe on both accounts, and often a violation of policy if not state laws).

16. How to proceed when I get a misdemeanor 12500a vc for driving without a CA license, though I had CA permit and International DL?
  
  When you applied for a driver's license and received your permit, you (arguably) may have acknowledged that you were seeking a CA license knowing it was required. Additionally, the permit spells out the conditions under which you can drive. This will almost certainly NOT be pursued as a...

  I'm afraid that me experience in court is from the prosecution side of the aisle. Others here might have some more formal ideas, but, in general, your response depends on a couple of things. If the notice to appear (the citation) was checked on the left side as correctable (per VC 40610) then...

  Well, it was not a "random" stop as I'm sure the stop was made with SOME cause, even if you were not cited for it. There is a difference between visiting (as on a vacation) and attending school for a period of time. If your stay is very limited, like, say, for one quarter, perhaps an argument...

19. How to proceed when I get a misdemeanor 12500a vc for driving without a CA license, though I had CA permit and International DL?
  
  If you have taken up residence in CA - even if it is temporary - you are generally required to obtain a valid CA driver's license. A J-1 does not exempt you from this requirement. The good news is that VC 12500(a) is almost universally filed as an infraction NOT as a misdemeanor...
