A. A candle works by breaking the chemical bonds in wax and oxygen in the air, releasing chemical potential energy. Energy stored in the bonds is broken by an initial heat source, and thereafter becomes self perpetuating because the heat produced aids in the breaking of other chemical bonds. No matter is actually created or destroyed, it simply changes state.
My Laptop was stolen, will I get a replacement if the guy is found guilty?
Q. Sorry if this is a stupid question, law isn't really my area of expertise. I had my laptop stolen this weekend. I know who did it and the police are investigating right now. I'm pretty sure they will never find my laptop, the guy probably ditched it to get rid of the evidence or sold it to a friend. So if they find him guilty, do I get anything out of this? Or am i just screwed? Do I need to try and sue him to pay for a new laptop?
A. If he's found guilty, the judge can order restitution as part of the sentence. You can also sue him in civil court (which is easier to do if he's already been convicted in criminal court).
I have a question for law enforcement also so can one please answer?
Q. I have a question for law enforcement only.I was just wondering if one of your fellow officers feels the need to violate the code of ethic set up for police officers do you feel they should be protected and afforded the privilege of other police officers to help them get away with it?
A. If an Officer decides to betray their oath, and break the law they are sword to uphold, then they are no longer worthy to be an Officer. I have no sympathy for those in my profession who choose to be "criminals with badges". They belong in the same place as the other criminals, prison. Period, full stop.
What steps does one take to challenge a municipal law as unconstitutional?
Q. Indianapolis has enacted an ordinance that violates the Fourth Amendment of protection from illegal search and seizure, and possibly the First Amendment of free speech. The ordinance states that an individual may not have a "for sale" sign on HIS vehicle on HIS property, and if he does, the city may tow it. This would be an illegal seizure, and also a violation of the First Amendment, since you should be able to freely advertise that your vehicle is for sale. What steps do I need to take in order to challenge this ordinance as being unconstitutional? Good question for law students...
A. Unfortunately the easiest way to ensure standing would not be the best way. The easiest way to challenge the law is to violate it, get charged, and then challenge the constitutionality of the law in court. Keep appealing until you reach a court that declines to hear the case. This would cost a ton of cash, however.
You could possibly seek an injunction if you could prove that the threat of enforcement of the ordinance caused you, personally, substantial hardship. This is a difficult burden to meet, however it another way to get the constitutionality of the ordinance before a court.
