I have before been summoned on jury duty and moved: if I were to move from the country (actually the state), would the court retain any jurisdiction such that I even have to (legally here) answer the summons or indicate my new address? I intend to do both, but, from a legal standpoint, do I actually have to? (The county of Santa Barbara, CA issued the summons, a move to TN if that makes a difference)

I purchased a new vehicle last week and traded in a vehicle and today a week later they called and said I needed to come in and sign new paperwork as the interest rate they gave me the bank wouldn't approve because of my credit score. They knew my credit score before they did the deal and the sales manager said it wouldn't be a problem. Is this legal to do and do I need to go sign new paperwork?

I was dealing with a company that had extended warranty on vehicles and I told them I was unsure if I wanted it. They told me I had 30 days to decide and I could call to cancel it. I never signed any papers committing to the contact. I had called four times trying to cancel it and always got an attitude from one of there tellers. It was the day before the 30 day mark and they told me if I wanted to cancel it I would have to write a letter. I had my husband call to find out what needed to be in the letter and informed him that they wouldn't give him any information nor would I not get my refund back most likely due to calling on the 30th day. I was wondering if this company was able to conduct business they way they have?

Hello. My boyfriend was arrested back in January and feels it was unjust. He was in the passenger seat of his friends car. They had been drinking, and the driver pulled over because he needed to puke. Two police rolled up on them. The first questioned the driver who got away with drunk driving. My boyfriend, who had much less to drink, was questioned by the second officer. They asked him if he had been drinking, he said yes. They told him to stand up out of the car and put his hands over his head. He had his back to the cops and they began handcuffing him. He was confused as to why he was being arrested so he tried to turn around, at the same time taking one hand down from over his head. They had not given any clue as to why he was being arrested and didn't read him his rights. The cops grabbed him and slammed him on the ground, giving him a black eye, nearly crushing his ribs (it was hard for him to breathe for the next couple weeks) and he also received a large scrape under his eye that has left a permanent scar. Of course his temper wasn't exactly in line when they put him in the car. We have always been skeptical about cops, knowing how corrupt they can be when they need to match their quota, although we've never had trouble with the law before. So I'm sure he was speaking his mind a bit too much. But when they got him to the police station, they put him in a wheelchair and tied his legs down and put a bag over his head. He was put in the drunk tank and left in there for hours and wasn't allowed to make calls until 6 hours later. The driver who had been puking befre the cops showed up, according to the police report, was told to call for a ride or wait to sober up before he drove away. My boyfriend was charged with resisting arrest, drunk in public, battery against an officer, and obstruction. But if the reason he was being arrested was for being drunk in public, how is he in public if he is in a car on the side of the road not disturbing anyone. He wasn't running around yelling or anything. So to me all the charges seem false. They didn't breathalize him or blood test him. I was wondering what are the chances of being able to sue for false arrest and police brutality, if he had been drinking but they have no proof of how intoxicated he was. Besides, the legal limit only applies for drivers, not passengers. Why is alcohol legal if you can get arrested for being drunk in the passenger seat of a car?

Hello, my name is Vladimir, today I was standing on the corner a block away from my school, having a conversation with my friends, a PO rolled up in his van and told me specifically to "find some place else to hang out". Is it illegal to stand on a public side walk? And what can I do if it happens again?
PS he issued me a parking ticket a week ago, which got me frustrated and I cursed him out, which is probably the reason he kicked me off that corner today, however I believe, I had a right to stay there as long as I was not disturbing the peace. Thank you!

Can an adopted child successfully sue her adoptive parents for a share of an inheritance the parents received from her natural father (upon his death) when the child was 10 years old? The child's natural father was also that of the adoptive father. The child is now 50 years old and only now asking for the inheritance. The land and money were in another country. The family lived in the State of CA. All the other heirs of the natural father (sister, etc) abdicated their shares since the inheritance had little monetary value.
