9amb1e | legaladvice_train | 0.97 | I think my husband put a tracking device on my car, what can I do if found? Location is **NJ**. My car's **title is in my name** only. He's made some payments when I was on medical leave from work for a couple of months and put down the down payment, if that matters. **TL;DR:** I have reasons to believe my soon-to-be ex-husband is tracking me. Is this legal? If I was to find the device, what should I do? If you can think of other ways he may know this specific info, please share! **Why I think he's tracking me:** * He's called me up multiple times saying "someone" saw me get off the interstate/parkway at specific exits, saw me at specific stores, etc. in the town he thinks my "new man" (there's NO one) lives in. * He's told me specific times I got to these towns and returned to my new rental house. * I got a new phone and am no longer on his phone plan, and my location is not shared with anyone, so he can't be using my phone to find me. * My ez-pass for toll booths is also a separate account and he does not have access to it. * He has the spare keys to my car, which he denies but his sister told me she saw it in his truck. He's very mechanically inclined and has driven around to find where I'm living, so it's possible that he could've placed something in my car.

Evidently, you own the car and it's in your name only, he is violating your privacy, but I'm not sure about the recourse available to you, so you should consult a lawyer. That being said: There is no state law that governs the US of GPS trackers. A judge in NJ in 2011 [Kenneth R. VILLANOVA v. INNOVATIVE INVESTIGATIONS, INC] ruled in favor of a wife and her private investigator using a GPS tracker to track the movements of her cheating husband, citing the fact that the installation was done on a car that was joint ownership between both of them- and the fact that the GPS tracker only tracked his movement in public places, where he had no expectation of privacy. Evidently you don't have an expectation of privacy because you've stated you've only been in public areas- but the fact he installed it on a car owned by specifically you, and only you is where he made a mistake, I think. GPS trackers are part of a rapidly changing part of the law, and there's not much case law in the US about their use.

If you can think of other ways he may know this specific info, please share! **Why I think he's tracking me:** * He's called me up multiple times saying "someone" saw me get off the interstate/parkway at specific exits, saw me at specific stores, etc. in the town he thinks my "new man" (there's NO one) lives in. * He's told me specific times I got to these towns and returned to my new rental house. * I got a new phone and am no longer on his phone plan, and my location is not shared with anyone, so he can't be using my phone to find me. * My ez-pass for toll booths is also a separate account and he does not have access to it. * He has the spare keys to my car, which he denies but his sister told me she saw it in his truck. He's very mechanically inclined and has driven around to find where I'm living, so it's possible that he could've placed something in my car.

Remove it, take it to the police station as the other poster said, and go from there. Start checking other aspects of your daily life for similar stuff. Someone willing to go to that extreme may be targeting your wife in other ways. Keep a log of all your findings. If it comes out you or your wife have a stalker, that log will become handy. | > I currently have the device still on the vehicle. Is that a wise decision, given that clearly someone, with intentions you're unaware of, is tracking your wife? Take it to the police station, try to fill out a report, press them to fill out a report, and when the person who placed it sees that it's at the police station, perhaps they will stop their shenanigans. But I'd not screw around here. No one here can solve the mystery. | 1 | 250 | 1.662304 |

7z6nx6 | legaladvice_train | 0.95 | Son told car buyer that I installed tracking device on it. Now car buyer wants to sue. [Maryland] My son went to college and I decided to sell the station wagon he had been driving around in high school. A friend of a friend offered to buy it for $2K. A few months later, my son bumped into car buyer at the movies and they were chit-chatting about the car. Son stupidly told her that I had installed a hidden tracking device in the car and was able to monitor his every move. Told her he tried hard to find the device, but it was so well hidden that it was undetectable. It was all a joke, but he apparently was very convincing about it, and she didn't take it as a joke. Car buyer calls me up, angry, and demands that I remove the hidden tracking device on the car. I have no idea what she's talking about, so I hang up. I later mention the call to son, and he tells me about their conversation. So I call her and explain that son was joking. She isn't buying it. Then son calls her and says that he was joking. She still isn't buying it. About a week later, she calls and tells me she paid a mechanic to go over the car with a fine-tooth comb and look for the supposed tracking device. Obviously, he doesn't find anything. But she expects me and my son to reimburse her for the bill. First question: Do my son or me have any legal obligation to pay for her mechanic's bill? On top of all that, she _still_ believes that there's a tracking device on the car and wants me to prove that there's not. Otherwise, she says she'll sue me for committing fraud. I told her it's impossible for me to prove a negative, and I said if she really thinks there's a tracking device on her car, then the burden of proof is on her. But she said that because the tracking device is "undetectable," (according to my son), there's no way for her to find it. Second question: Does she have a legal leg to stand on? Do I really need to take steps to prove that there is no tracking device? | dulp3xy | dulp6u7 | 1,519,230,056 | 1,519,230,129 | 15 | 784 | I am not a lawyer.

7z6nx6 | legaladvice_train | 0.95 | Son told car buyer that I installed tracking device on it. Now car buyer wants to sue. [Maryland] My son went to college and I decided to sell the station wagon he had been driving around in high school. A friend of a friend offered to buy it for $2K. A few months later, my son bumped into car buyer at the movies and they were chit-chatting about the car. Son stupidly told her that I had installed a hidden tracking device in the car and was able to monitor his every move. Told her he tried hard to find the device, but it was so well hidden that it was undetectable. It was all a joke, but he apparently was very convincing about it, and she didn't take it as a joke. Car buyer calls me up, angry, and demands that I remove the hidden tracking device on the car. I have no idea what she's talking about, so I hang up. I later mention the call to son, and he tells me about their conversation. So I call her and explain that son was joking. She isn't buying it. Then son calls her and says that he was joking. She still isn't buying it. About a week later, she calls and tells me she paid a mechanic to go over the car with a fine-tooth comb and look for the supposed tracking device. Obviously, he doesn't find anything. But she expects me and my son to reimburse her for the bill. First question: Do my son or me have any legal obligation to pay for her mechanic's bill? On top of all that, she _still_ believes that there's a tracking device on the car and wants me to prove that there's not. Otherwise, she says she'll sue me for committing fraud.

We were finally given the okay to take her home and we did with no issue. Insurance covered all but final few days of stay and is claiming it was "not medically necessary" for those days.

ettb13 | legaladvice_train | 0.87 | Insurance denied impatient hospital stay because they deemed it “not medically necessary”. In NYC. I went to urgent care for a kidney infection, with pain and high fever. It was confirmed by urgent care with rapid urine culture, I was sent home with script for antibiotics and was told to go to ER the next day if I did not feel better. I did not feel better in the morning. I called urgent care and was directed to ER. I spent the next 17 hours in ER, with the expectation of not being admitted. I received IV antibiotics, and had lots of tests done. My kidney infection was reconfirmed, but no more threatening condition was identified. I was supposed to be released around 7PM, but due to shift change and miscommunication the decision to release me wasn’t completed until 2:30AM, when I was again running a high fever. My attending told me she wasn’t comfortable sending me home and admitted me. I was transferred upstairs, to try and get some sleep in a hallway, as there were no rooms available. I was discharged the next day, late afternoon. I was required to inform my insurance of any inpatient hospital admission. I technically knew this, but forgot it in the moment due to the illness, stress of the day, and the fever I was running when admittance was decided. My fault. Insurance is denying coverage for the entire inpatient stay, since nothing worse than an infection was diagnosed. But I was following medical advice. I was told to stay, is that not enough for something to be considered “medically necessary?” Or is that why I’m supposed to inform them, so insurance can argue with doctors against admitting me if doc can’t prove it’s medically necessary? I expect a giant bill in the mail. Like most people I don’t have the money for that. That’s why I pay enormous insurance premiums. What should I do now? Am I totally screwed because I didn’t inform insurance I was being admitted? | ffietlk | ffiehkk | 1,579,972,169 | 1,579,971,940 | 48 | 2 | Rejected claims do not have to be appealed, but this sounds like a denied claim. Follow your insurer's appeals process. Have the doctor write a letter of "medical necessity." File everything electronically and keep records; you need to keep a digital paper trail as a reference when dealing with your insurer. Talk to a social worker at the hospital. Talk to your state insurance commissioner if you have to. If all that fails, google [hospital name] + financial assistance program in order to see what they may offer. But there are many steps for you to take, starting with an appeal. How long before you informed? | ---

a4b7x6 | legaladvice_train | 0.97 | I’m getting sued by someone involved in an accident with my ex wife. My ex took valid plates off my registered car and put them on an unregistered / uninsured vehicle. Located in Ontario, Canada. Here’s the deal. I was legally separated ( since divorced) from ex wife. Part of our unwritten agreement was that she could have my car until the divorce was finalized. Said car was totaled in a previous accident 6 weeks prior to which my insurance is handling. Ex wife was also driving at the time. Car was towed to a mechanic to where the mechanic said it was a write off. We agreed she would arrange to have a scrap yard pick it up and keep whatever few hundred they’d give her. I gave the ownership papers over to her so she could give the slip to the scrap yard and I’d be able to wash my hands of it. Turns out she removed the plates and put them on an unregistered / uninsured vehicle. (This is where I obviously fucked up) She proceeded to have a second accident in this new car. Based on the Statement of Claim She rear ended (completely at fault) somebody else who is claiming the typical maladies and injuries. Concussion, psychological injuries, back problems, neck problems, etc.. In the Statement of claim it also mentions an insurance company that I was with around 2013-2014, not the company that was insuring the 1st totaled car. Nor does the claim mention a make, model, or even description of the vehicle my ex wife was driving at the time of this second accident.

a4b7x6 | legaladvice_train | 0.97 | I’m getting sued by someone involved in an accident with my ex wife. My ex took valid plates off my registered car and put them on an unregistered / uninsured vehicle. Located in Ontario, Canada. Here’s the deal. I was legally separated ( since divorced) from ex wife. Part of our unwritten agreement was that she could have my car until the divorce was finalized. Said car was totaled in a previous accident 6 weeks prior to which my insurance is handling. Ex wife was also driving at the time. Car was towed to a mechanic to where the mechanic said it was a write off. We agreed she would arrange to have a scrap yard pick it up and keep whatever few hundred they’d give her. I gave the ownership papers over to her so she could give the slip to the scrap yard and I’d be able to wash my hands of it. Turns out she removed the plates and put them on an unregistered / uninsured vehicle. (This is where I obviously fucked up) She proceeded to have a second accident in this new car. Based on the Statement of Claim She rear ended (completely at fault) somebody else who is claiming the typical maladies and injuries. Concussion, psychological injuries, back problems, neck problems, etc.. In the Statement of claim it also mentions an insurance company that I was with around 2013-2014, not the company that was insuring the 1st totaled car.

masepp | legaladvice_train | 0.73 | Involved in a multi car accident with fatalities. I want to help all I can but I also want to protect myself. California Just a warning this is extremely graphic. Over the weekend, my boyfriend, our friend, and I went on a trip to the coast. We were driving back to Sacramento early in the morning when there was an accident. We were driving through a rural area on a highway, going 65, and it was pitch black. From what I could tell in the dark and at my distance, and with the speed in which things were happening, it looked like two cars collided and debris was all over the road. I braked hard and went to avoid the cars but hit some debris so I pulled over. When I got out to check my vehicle, I ran back to the scene to see what I hit and discovered a body in the far right lane. I went on auto pilot and called 911. I did my best to explain where we were and what happened. There was another body on the ground a couple lanes away from the first, and a girl screaming and pinned under a car. I stayed with her while bystanders and my passengers did their best to make the scene safer by redirecting traffic. When police arrived we got together with them and lifted the car off the girl. She had a severe head injury. I stayed with her until the paramedics arrived which was also about when she stopped breathing. I have no idea if she made it, or what her quality of life will be if she did. After the paramedics took over I broke down and walked back to my car. I cried heavily for a couple of minutes. An officer approached me and my passengers and took our statements. I told them I think I hit someone and they tried to convince me I only hit debris. I was not convinced, and leaned under my car with my phone flash light on and found blood and bits of...flesh or brain, smeared all over my car's belly and hanging down from the heat shields and exhaust system. I was angry with the officer for blowing me off and trying to get us to leave. I had a literal crime scene under my f\*cking car. Eventually they decided there were three separate incidents. An officer gave me a card with his badge number and the incident number. He took my insurance information and took pictures of my vehicle, but only took one picture of my vehicle's underside from the front. Remember this was pitch black rural territory with no streetlights. Then he told us that they had everything they needed, that we could go, and to just take my car to a car wash and rinse it off really good, which is absolutely mortifying imo but what else are you supposed to do?? I'm asking if there is anything else I can do. It the daylight you can see better just how much human remains are smeared and hanging off my undercarriage. I doubt the evidence that was collected and I had the thought to have a local CHP officer come out and take additional photos and send them to the officers who responded (we drove straight home from there after that, skipping Sacramento altogether. I don't feel comfortable stating where I live here but I do live in California). I haven't washed my car yet and I would like to do so as soon as possible...I need to get rid of that smell, and I need to have my transmission looked at because it doesn't sound good after what happened. I just don't know if this could be used against me. I feel like not because of the way the officers were treating the situation, trying to convince me I didn't hit a literal human and trying to get me to leave. Barely taking pictures and all. But I don't know. I just don't know. I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions I just want to do everything I possibly and reasonably can. I didn't see what I hit, and if I did, avoiding it could have put myself and my passengers at further risk. The incident was spread across the highway taking up all three lanes and even the shoulders on either side. I just didn't want to collide with the vehicles in the wreckage. I also want to find out, if legally possible, if there were survivors. One paramedic said the two bodies were gone, but was vague about the girl. I've spoken with my friends, some of whom are medical professionals, about the injury she sustained and the potential for her survival, and no one seems to think that with a head injury like that than anyone could live and if they could, their quality of life wouldn't be great. An article I found online describing the incident states there was one fatality and two taken to the hospital with major injuries, which obviously conflicts with what the paramedic told me. I also want to know if my impact with that passenger killed him, because the article (if it's accurate, who knows) states that the only person who died was the one my vehicle collided with and if the other two people initially survived their ejection, I have reason to believe the man I hit was also alive. So would it be in my best interest to just rinse off my car and move on with my life, and not try to get more information to the officers? Do they need more information? I feel awful and selfish for asking such a question, but my heart goes out to those people and I want to do everything I can. But I also don't want to have the family members come after me. There's nothing I could have done differently that would have been safer or better. And no amount of evidence or whatever is going to bring that man back to life. Either way, whether he was dead or alive before I hit him, nothing is going to bring him back to life. And I have to live with that. Also, how can I legally and respectfully find out if the other two people survived? Would it be a bad idea to tell the officers to give my phone number to the family members? I don't know what I would tell them...I don't know. I just don't know how to proceed and I don't want to do something to make things worse. Thank you for your advice and I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid selfish questions or being insensitive I don't mean to be I just really need to know. Also, if there is anything I'm maybe not thinking about or considering please share. Thank you. | gru2eqg | gru1zui | 1,616,434,985 | 1,616,434,806 | 42 | 18 | IAL, but not in CA and not your lawyer. I suggest contacting your liability insurance prior to doing anything with your car, including washing it, and see if they want photographs with the remains intact. I would not contact the police with regards to this matter as, frankly, it isn't going to help you at all and it isn't going to either help or hurt the investigation into the at-fault driver. Because this matter involves at least one fatality, there is a strong possibility that you will be pulled into litigation of this matter, primarily because there is likely limited insurance coverage to compensate for the damages to all three injured parties by the at-fault driver's insurance. Your insurance company should provide you an attorney to represent you with regards to that matter. If you are contacted by any other insurance company, decline to make a recorded statement. You will likely be required to make one for your own insurance. If you are contacted by the police, I would recommend consulting with a criminal attorney before speaking to them further. As far as finding out what happened to the victims, that may be a can of worms you don't want to open. If this occurred in a rural area, the local newspaper will likely have a follow-up story regarding whether there were any additional fatalities (rural areas tend to have a slow news cycle). However, I would really consider whether or not you want to know the disposition of these people prior to searching. I would also suggest you speak with a mental health provider or counselor about this. You were involved in a very traumatic incident and I can only imagine saw some pretty terrible things. From the way you write, it appears you are still trying to process this incident and you may very much benefit from professional help (I suggest this to any of my clients who have witnessed a traumatic accident scene). | I'm going to assume they asked you about your side of the story and recorded it in their report some way or another. The key thing you need to remember here is you came on the scene after the fact and did everything in your power to avoid hitting something. On a dark road, with no evidence of something, its very easy to be right on top of the situation before you can react. Their focus is going to be on the two cars which were stationary and what lead to that. They aren't going to look at you as a responsible party. They will contact you if they need more information. Its unfortunate ypu have to experience this. No one should live with that in their mind BUT its also important for you to remember you did not cause the situation that lead to it. | 1 | 179 | 2.333333 |

Anyone know of resources in Texas they can get to over the weekend? This is in Texas (for applicable laws / rights) About two months ago, an asset management company bought the apartment community my son (26) lives in. In that time, they've: * Dropped off packages making massive changes to rental agreement with lots of added fees (not legal mid-lease) including a trash valet service ($50 a month), a pet deposit, pet rent, and a "common area cleaning fee" for pet waste even though everyone picks up after their animals ($100 per pet), tried to charge a $1200 fee to each resident in a smoking "building" (not apartment) even if no one in the apartment smokes, etc * It's a gated community, they left the gates open for two months. This led to vandalism and theft (at least a half dozen people have had their catalytic converters stolen, plus cars being broken into). * Painted everything with cheap paint that has started peeling a month later * Done a ton of unneeded temporary repairs that look terrible * Tried to tell everyone they could only pay rent with money orders from a certain company. That company's nearest branch is a 45 minute drive away by car, hours away by bus (they shut down the electronic payment portal). * Quit telling everyone what they owed for utilities then started posting eviction notices for people that didn't pay. * Notified everyone there was a 40% rent increase, effective immediately (illegal) * Required everyone to register their cars under threat of tow, with 48 hours notice (the lease requires 10 days notice). They also said effective immediately, resident parking stickers and the old car registration list are no longer valid. Tonight is supposed to be when the towing starts. Today, at close of business, they closed the gates and turned off everyone's access cards unless they had signed the documents agreeing to all the changes.

This girl I know came to my house told me she wants me to change my testimony and wanted to give me this stuffed envelope filled with money in return. I refused and she kept pushing it until she eventually left. Now she keeps sending money to my bank account which I have no idea how she got my account number to begin with, and I can't believe she’s dumb enough to send it through the bank which leaves trail back to her. I told her over and over that I won't accept her money but she keeps sending them anyway. It’s happened three times so far. My concern here are as follows: 1) I don’t know what to do to stop her from sending me the money. She doesn’t stop sending it back and I don’t want a single cent of her money laying in my account 2) I’m not sure if not telling the judge about that would be illegal (although I would prefer not to say anything if all this would go away and I make her stop but I don’t want to get involved in any more shit tbh) and 3) I’m worried about my bank account as well.

UFCU (if you're not using them, they're frickin' amazing) will bend over backwards for you in situations like this, especially the one in the shopping center at Las Cimas. In the meantime, head down to the prosecutor's office with a printout of your bank statement or incoming wire transfers for their records (you can redact non-relevant transactions from it for privacy). Make it VERY clear that this kid is trying to bribe you. If the girl ever shows up again, very conspicuously take out your phone, activate your voice recorder app, and make it eminently clear you're recording - or just call the prosecutor right then and there while she's watching and let them know that she's there trying to influence your testimony.

COVID-19 has obviously put any plans on hold, especially since they still need to get the license. The problem is the groom is in hospice, and has maybe a few weeks left to live. He desperately wants to marry his fiancee before he passes. They've heard about some states performing weddings via Skype, and some (like TN, and I think VT) let you apply for a license online. Would they be able to apply for a TN (or other state) marriage license, and then be married by a TN (or whatever) official via Skype? Is there any other recourse they might have to get married in NYC during all of this? Would it be possible to do an otherwise legal ceremony sans license, and have it validated after the fact?
