The good news in this case is that she was so paranoid. That may have killed the mood, but it tells you that she's generally pretty safe which means your risk is likely low. If she was all, "Oh, don't worry about THAT? Who cares!" that's when you should be worried.

There's definately stuff police in conservative areas could do, but arresting you for prostitution is not one of them. They could arrest a driver, telephonist, or agency owner though, and then make you appear in the trial as a witness. The social cost of that to a customer might be nearly as bad...

EB... I just figured that since it's illegal in the US that Americans might figure it's illegal here too. The relevant section of the Criminal Code is 212. Anyone who has any doubts about the issue is invited to read all about it here: http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C-46/40863.html and...

Geez. Here we go again. What are you, Americans? There is no law in Canada against sex for money. If you know of one please cite it for me. There ARE laws against sex for money involving minors; there are laws against running a brothel (bawdy house) or being in one; there are laws against...

Hey you "free enterprise" smokers, you whiners have it so good. You're still allowed to smoke outdoors! My rights have been trampled much worse than that, I have a legal gun and I am not even allowed to shoot it off anywhere in the city. What the hell is that? It's a legal gun, it's not illegal...

"smokers are more likely to be regulars in bars than non-smokers" Yeah well that's true for one main reason: Smokers drove everyone else away by smoking! I quit going to bars because of the smoke. I think it'll take awhile for the people who were driven out to return, but eventually the huge...

Judging from their website only, Al Jazeera seems reasonably fair and balanced to me. They don't come across as crackpot or extremist and certainly not the voice of any terrorist organization. They're willing to pass on controversial stuff when they get it, statements, video tapes, etc., from...

Dave I think you have done all you can do. She's wrong, but she's apparently determined to be wrong. There's no medicine that can cure stupidity.

booboo: The newspapers don't very often carry stories about minor crimes at all. What I meant was that your name will be published by the courts when they get around to hearing your case. Depending on the court they might have a website with a posted schedule of what trials are being heard when...

booboo: if you are charged with shoplifting you typically aren't taken into custody. in any case, your name WILL be published when you get to your trial for theft.

Those of you who argue against publishing the names of people accused of crimes, what are you really advocating? Do you want the police to be able to arrest and detain people without revealing who they have in custody? It is my belief that the police should be REQUIRED to post the names of...

I second the sentiment above about not saying yes too much. I'd rather have a reliable guy on my team who gets less work done than others but always on time and never with any problems. That's a million times better than a guy who does twice as much but sometimes totally flakes out. I can go to...

Tax lawyers typically run $400 to $600 an hour. How many hours the lawyer will have to put in obviously depends on your case, but a simple procedure like a voluntary disclosure for personal taxes ought not to take more than a couple of hours work. Obviously it depends on your situation. The...

Don't beat yourself up too badly. You are bound to take this hard and feel like it's a sign you are no good, a failure, etc., and you just have to get past that. Maybe you had skills that were different than what they wanted, or there was some personality clash, or you didn't really like the job...

Yeah, hehehe, I'm sure dave will fill you in. I think it varies from state to state. Generally I'd think it's typically a misdemeanor charge (probably under 6 months in jail) but againt it probably varies.

To put it another way... a tax lawyer can literally and legally put the right words in your mouth, an accountant cannot.

I'm sure Dave will give you the lowdown for the actual potential sentences if getting a criminal record in itself is not enough for you. (My last employer did a criminal record check on me before hiring me... had I had some record it might have cost me the job). Here's something for the...

I guess he has more money than he knows what to do with.

kwong... nobody can answer this but you... it depends on a lot of thigns: (1) how easily you could find another girl like her; (2) how big a deal this project is to yoru career; (3) how much you value your career; (4) how much you value being in a relationship; (5) how much self control you have...
