I was driving through a private parking lot, & received a ticket from a City PO, for failure to yield to a pedestrian. I had stopped and looked, and did not go until I saw the pedestrian stop and wait, before he even got to the crosswalk. What to do?

You can pay the ticket or go to court and have a trial.

What offense or violation would land someone only a 3 month sentence in prison maximum? One of my friends says he went to jail for 3 months but when we ask what he did, silence. I think he's lying. Help a gal win a bet here. Thanks. :-)

Any misdemeanor offense can carry a penalty of three months. So, pretty much anything from driving with a suspended license to shoplifting to punching his wife.

What's the policy on illegal aliens. I know one that is living off of hud, food stamps and all sorts of other free government stuff. Has been deported twice and is back again. I'm a vet and can't get the help they are.

I'm not sure what you are asking when you say "what's the policy." Federal law establishes how the government controls immigration. The executive branch (the president and his administration) is responsible for enforcement of the law.

You have several problems going on right now. Among them are:

1. Few presidents of either party have taken a serious stab at securing our borders.

2. The current president, through design or sheer foolishness, is making no serious effort to enforce the laws on the books.

3. A 2008 law significantly expanded the "rights" of an illegal alien OTMs under a certain age to stay in the US. Look at the numbers of under age illegal OTMs and you will see the numbers have skyrocketed every year since.

4. Children and others, once they make it into the country, are being temporarily held in detainment camps. These camps have inhumane conditions, and the executive branch is keeping the press, clergy, charities and even members of Congress from entering them.

5. Mexican drug cartels are the primary human traffickers along the border. They routinely fire on Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement offcers with small arms, up to and including .50 caliber machine guns. Some of these guns were trafficked to the cartels through a ATF program called Fast & Furious, which has resulted in the deaths of dozens (if not hundreds) of foreign nationals, and at least one Border Patrol agent.

6. The executive branch is shipping illegal immigrants to various parts of the nation and refuses to tell the press or Congress where, claiming the rights to privacy of the illegal immigrants.

7. Many local cities and counties are required to accept the illegal immigrants due to a clause in block grant fundung provided by the federal government.

So, the situation with illegal immigration has been a long time in the making. I don't care if you are a supporter of Bush, Clinton or Obama - none of them have bothered to secure our borders.

Asked by Park about 12 years ago

All use of force, including a dog bite, is governed by federal and state law. There can be civil and/or criminal repercussions for the unlawful application of force. Graham v. Connor (490 U.S. 386 (1989)) is a landmark case that is instructive on this issue. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=490&invol=386
