Has your community established red light cameras? Do you know if your vehicle in your name is “caught” running a red light you will receive a citation regardless if you were operating the vehicle.
Recently a judge in Pasco County Florida ruled the red light camera citations were unconstitutional. The reasoning is sound. Under the law in this country should a person be compelled to offer evidence when they’re accused? The law requires you to provide evidence you were not the driver. This of course goes against everything we’re taught as middle school students, let alone in law school. The government should be required to prove their case and not require you the citizen to disprove it. Also, do not be misled by the small amount in controversy. The United states Constitution protects us all. To ignore the law because the amount in controversy is small is to begin to slide down a slippery slope that will ultimately lead to authorities ignoring the law. Don’t let it happen.
For advice on this issue as well as other legal issues concerning the Constitution contact the legal experts @ Lavely & Whyte (877) 397-3787.

We’ve all heard that term from television, ” Miranda warnings” What does that mean? I advise client’s when they say it will and can be used against you, they mean what they say. Also, often times clients mention this that their Miranda warning wasn’t read to them as if failure to do so would make the arrest illegal. Miranda warnings are required when you are questioned in “custody” The meaning of custody is not always clear.
Recently a murder conviction was reversed for failure to give Miranda warnings to a suspect who was then questioned. The test to determine custody is whether a reasonable person placed in the same position would believe that his or her freedom of action was curtailed to a degree associated with actual arrest.
Courts should consider four factors;
1) the manner in which the police summon the suspect for questioning; 2) the purpose, place, and manner of the interrogation; 3) the intent to which the suspect is confronted with evidence of his/her guilt; and 4) whether the suspect is informed they are free to leave.
Suffice to say, if you’re being questioned or about to be questioned by the policce call a lawyer. Lavely & Whyte are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Call us @ 941 747-7994 or (877) EXPERTS (877) 397-3787.

Yesterday at my son’s little league game it was my turn to work the concession stand; assignment operate the gas grill for the hamburgers and hot dogs.
The smoke was bad enough, but my real concern was for the children that walked by the grill and within feet of danger. I’ll work on the placement of the grill with the league. However, for our purposes I wanted to point out several facts.
1) Burn injuries recieve medical treatment over 500,000 times per year.
2) There are over 25,000 hospital admissions each year for specialized care.
3) Burns can come from chemicals, scalding water, fire/flames, electrical mishaps as well as others.
4) almost 50% of these injuries occur in your homw where you would think you could avoid danger.

Be aware of your surroundings and teach your children to repect these common dangers. We’ll all have a safe Spring and an enjoyable Summer. If you find yourself outside with a fire or grill use common sense and be careful for your kids sake.  http://www.lavelylaw.com/burn-injuries.aspx
