Can a grocery store private security pick random customers to follow?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers
I very much doubt that its random. They usually key in on people who are acting in an unusual manner. Also: keep in mind, the store is a private business and they can take such steps as necessary to protect their business. If you think you are being unfairly singled out, don't shop there....

Defaults are entered if the defendant (you) fails to appear and answer the complaint. Sounds like you have done both. I assume you filed your answer with the court and provided the attorney with a copy. If you have done this, I am not sure the reason. I would check the court files.

Can a cop add a ticket after the stop?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by Jeff Fengcheng Yeh (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers
You should hire a lawyer, because the cop wouldn't be able to get away with that if a lawyer is present. The cop's memory can be challenged, because there probably was no report other than the ticket. A lawyer would not be expensive for a simple traffic ticket, and it would save you all the time of going to court all day multiple times.... Read Answer

Can the policy holder of death insurance be sued if they do not distribute the money evenly between siblings?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   12 Answers
Maybe, but what did the designation of beneficiaries say? The decedent may have instructed that 30% goes to one child and 70% to the other. In that event, the insurance company would be wrong to distribute the money evenly.

Can the policy holder of death insurance be sued if they do not distribute the money evenly between siblings?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)   |   12 Answers
First of all, it's called life insurance, not death insurance. The policy holder is the person whose life is insured. So, during his lifetime, the policy holder can designate whomever he wants as beneficiary, in whatever proportion he chooses. Once the insured is deceased, the insurance company is required to distribute the money according to the terms of the policy.... Read Answer
