The Policy and Advocacy Committee of the AIDS Committee of Toronto developed the first policy of any community-based organization in Canada on the use of criminal sanctions as a response to the transmission or threatened transmission of HIV. In the policy, ACT opposes the use of criminal sanctions and, recognizing that there may be isolated, extreme situations involving "substandard behaviour regarding the transmission of HIV," suggests that provincial health legislation contains suitable powers to provide adequate remedies.

Extractions: Poker Bonuses Home poker games are not specifically mentioned in the laws that were created to regulate home gambling. But in the past couple of years there has been a wide acceptance of poker by society as a game of skill (although it still has a long way to go). Therefore, it stands to reason that anyone caught organizing or playing in a home poker game will probably not be punished to the full extent of the law. Most home gambling laws were created for 2 reasons: to protect citizens from developing dangerous gambling habits as a results of easy access to gambling establishments and to keep citizens from profiting by running a gambling establishment. Home poker games, for the most part, are not guilty of either of these things. As long as they are unraked and low-stakes they are harmless and although they are breaking the letter of the law, they are abiding by the spirit of the law. Article 2 (Gambling Offenses) in Chapter 66 (Offenses Against Public Health and Decency) states that it is an offense to engage in unlawful gambling, But that it is an "affirmative defense" to prosecution for the person to claim having been part of a "social game". A "social game" is defined as gambling in a home where there is no house player (barring Home Craps and other home casino games), no house money, or no house odds. There must also be no profit from the operation of the game (in poker this is the rake). A home poker game that is not being raked is legal in Alaska and it is legal to possess gambling devices - if it is for a "social game".

Ignition Interlock Devices Recently, the Department of Motor Vehicles has begun to require the imposition of an interlock device in the vehicles of those convicted of Driving under the Influence. There is a possibility that this requirement is incorrect. If you were convicted of a DUI between July 1, 2002 and July 1, 2003 AND the Judge did not order the imposition of an interlock device in your car, then the DMV CANNOT impose that requirement.

Extractions: Respond to this Article January/February 2001 Disenfranchisement of former felons was the real crime in Florida By Nicholas Thompson Rosetta Meeks lives in Florida's Miami-Dade County, but she didn't get to vote in the presidential election. Nobody scrutinized her ballot for hanging chads or screamed himself hoarse trying to prevent officials from counting it. An African-American woman who has devoted her last six years to teaching computer skills to low-income people, Meeks wanted to vote and knew whom she wanted to vote for. But she was locked out of the mayhem. Rosetta Meeks was convicted of a drug felony seven and a half years ago and, under Florida law, every felon is permanently barred from the voting booth unless the governor and at least three of his cabinet members decide to restore her civil rights. Thirteen other states have similar laws: If you commit any felonybe it murder or lying on a customs formyou never again get to have a say in the election of the president or the town selectman. According to the best available estimates, this law kept 525,000 people in Florida, most of them poor and a great many of them black, away from the polls in a presidential election decided by just a few hundred votes. Like most ex-felons, Meeks didn't meet all 23 of the qualifications for Florida's process of fast-track enfranchisement. The qualifications range from the type of crime you committed (you can't, for example, have been found guilty of battery of a public transit official) to your financial status (you can't owe the state more than $1,000, not uncommon for poor ex-felons who are often subjected to large fines and restitution payments, or required by judges to pay the fees of their state-appointed attorneys.)

Extractions: A Dark skin is just enough to derpive you of a job - and then get you punished for being jobless. Although there is nothing whatever in the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing the right to work, all of the 48 states have so-called vagrancy laws making it a criminal offence to be without work. This, in spite of the fact that there is what the business community politely refers to as a "normal float" of from three to five million unemployed -a job shortage that increases periodically to as much as fifteen, million. In practice, however, this seeming anomaly does not work a double hardship on the great majority of fair-skinned Americans, inasmuch as the vagrancy laws are enforced mainly against dark skinned Americans -Negroes, Mexican Americans American Indians, gypsies, and 1 others. Part-time employment is not always regarded as a good excuse-in some places you can be convicted of vagrancy unless you work more than half of the time. Of course if YOU can establish the fact that you have funds you may loaf all you wish, as the vagrancy laws specifically exempt persons of means. In short, it is against the law to be unemployed and broke if you are able-bodied and without means of support.

Extractions: The Sensibilities of Our Forefathers The History of Sodomy Laws in the United States By George Painter Florida "The creatures who are guilty are entitled to a consideration of their case because they are called human beings and are entitled to the protection of the laws." The Post-Revolution Period, 1776-1873 After purchase by the United States from Spain, the Territory of Florida was created in 1822 and all laws in force in Florida at the time of the organic law were retained. Later that year, Florida enacted a law that adopted the common and statute laws of England in their entirety as they existed on the date of the Jamestown settlement, an act that made consensual sodomy a capital offense in the state. In 1823, the law was ameliorated by limiting the penalty for a common-law offense to a year in prison or a fine of $500. This law was repealed in 1828, thus legalizing sodomy in the state. In 1829, the common-law reception statute was reenacted, with the same penalty limitations as in the 1823 law. However, research on this issue revealed that the English buggery laws were

Others argue Senate Democrats have no choice because other, more traditional means, of blocking nominees (e.g. blue slips) have been curtailed. Implicit in some of these arguments is the view that blocking a judge is blocking a judge, no matter how it is done. Matthew Yglesias, for instance, argues that âIf we're talking about blocking judges, we should be talking about all the ways (blue slips, failure to schedule hearings, etc.) that nominees have been blocked from getting floor votes.â
Extractions: Two significant, apparently unrelated, trends have emerged in American society and medicine. First, American medicine is reexamining its approach to dying. The Institute of Medicine, the American Medical Association, and private funding organizations have recognized that too many dying people suffer from pain and other distress that clinicians can prevent or relieve. Second, this past decade has marked a sharp increase in the number of physicians prosecuted for criminal negligence based on arguably negligent patient care. The case often cited as a watershed is People v. Einaugler , which involved a New York nursing home patient whose physician was convicted in 1993 of two criminal misdemeanors after he ordered an elderly dialysis patient to be tube fed through a peritoneal dialysis catheter. How is the growing awareness of dying patients' pain and the increasing willingness of prosecutors to charge physicians with crimes connected? Pain at the end of life is frequently treated with narcotics, prescription drugs that are closely regulated by state and federal law. That complex web of lawsand a growing fear of legal sanctionshas deterred physicians from prescribing controlled substances. As those legal sanctions move from disciplinary actions to criminal charges, physicians' fears may expand.
Extractions: Back to Research Guides page Florida Forms Much of a lawyers time is spent drafting forms. To assist lawyers in this aspect of their practice, there are many different types of form books available. When using form books, one should keep in mind that they are all general in nature. Therefore, before using a form, extreme care should be exercised to make sure that the language is entirely suitable for the purpose for which it is to be used. This pathfinder will look at two different categories of Florida legal forms: transactional forms such as for wills, contracts, sale of goods, and formation of business entities; and those for pleading and practice (litigation) purposes. The following list includes sources of Florida forms updated on a regular basis. The list is not all inclusive. Use it as a starting point. (This list, for the most part, does not include form books which are not regularly updated. The forms in those books may or may not still be valid.
