CALIfORNIA!!!????? For Calif. police, laser is the new radar: It used to be that if you liked to speed but didn't want to get a ticket, you could buy a radar detector and hope for the best. B u t that's not a good idea in the High Desert. Traffic deputies in the area use laser technology called Lidar to determine who is speeding and who is not. While radar is still used on many cars and serves a different function, laser is not picked up by radar detectors. Even if you were to purchase a laser detector, the laser is only transmitted when a deputy shoots it at your vehicle. "Meaning, but the time you're locked in and the detector alerts you, it's already too late. You're caught," said Deputy James Marshall of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Victorville station. Lasers can detect speeds from roughly 1,000 feet away and several models can calculate both speed and distance, while others measure distance only. interesting huh?!! =) lol

What animals hunt California Condors and how do California Condors defend themselves? I only know these animals that hunt California Condors, but these animals only hunt California Condor Chicks. Although I have no idea how California Condors defend themselves. 1. Ravens break condor eggs when they can and eat them. 2. Golden eagles and coyotes watch for a chance to snatch condor chicks as the young birds explore their surroundings.
How is it that California and Oregon have a 9%+ income tax and Washington has no income tax? I live in San Francisco and pay California's (in my opinion) outrageous 9.3% tax rate. In looking around I notice that Oregon has a 9% top rate while Nevada and Washington have no income tax. I know that Oregon has no sales tax, so that sort of explains things there. But can someone explain for me the basics of why California appears to be so much more expensive than Nevada and Washington? Is there some way as a California resident I can take advantage of something to avoid paying what appears to be thousands of dollars more than I would pay if I moved to Seattle? Alternately, is there some tax that they pay in Washington that I'm not considering? Finally, is it just that the California government is stupid and inefficient, or are they lacking sources of taxes that Washington state gets?

In California, is it required to have a driver license to drive in a parking lot or a private lot? Is a driver license required to drive in a parking lot or other private property? Or is it only required on public streets and public areas? I can imagine this varying by jurisdiction, so in particular, I'm interested in California, but if anyone has definitive information for other states, that'd be of interest to me as well. Please back up your response with some sort of reference. Thank you.
What are the possible consequesces of California failing to raise 7 billion in short term municipal bond sales? Since money is not funding any California state agencies across the board 10 percent cuts in services are occurring. Also instead of paychecks state employees are getting IOUs. Could state agencies collapse like schools, hospitals, universities, sheriff departments, prisons and public transportation agencies? Could California go bankrupt? Could real unemployment in California reach 20 percent (12 percent now)? Could lawlessness raise crime and murder rates by triple if prisions and police departments close shop?

Moving from California to Philippine Islands - How to take fish with me? I've got about a 10-11 inch red devil cichlid, a 6 inch koi, about 6 common goldfish, 4 swordtails, 2 bettas, and 4 algae eaters that I want to take with me to the Philippines from California. The red devil is alone he will not go with other fish and neither will the bettas but the others I think would get along well enough together. Anyone know of a way to transport them? Are there ways of shipping them by boat? Or by plane? Definite answers please, I am not going to risk killing my fish on something someone heard from a friend of a friend of a friend.
How is California's call for a Constitutional convention similar or not to reforms in Honduras? From my reading business leaders are pooling funds to sponsor an initiative to ask the voters of California to re-write our state's constitution in an effort to make our state more competitive or so they argue. In Honduras, it is argued their leader had wanted to change the constitution so that it would allow him to remain in power. It seems like the only difference is in the wording. Why would people riot in one country and not in another one when they are affected in familiar ways?

What can you do in california if you can no longer afford to pay your mortgage? What can you do in california if you can no longer afford to pay your mortgage? I bought my house for 500k and now its probably worth only 430k. If I sell my home I will take a loss of 70k plus commision fees.

Where can I find info on that , and what can I do?
What is the difference between California and Washington state? Not like, geographically, but more like law. Like whats different in Washington that's better or worse that's legal or illegal? I'm Moving From California to Washington State, and I would love to know what the laws are on age, and how old you have to be to buy certain things maybe that you cant buy in California, such as maybe, potassium nitrate, or even steel wool, or anything that I might need from a hardware store, but obviously, please don't say anything federal, because those laws apply to the whole country, not just one state.

What is the difference between Texas illegals and California illegals? I hear so much about illegal immigrants in California trashing up neighborhoods, being destestable etc.. In Texas, we have a large hispanic community which yes some are illegal while others are not. I hear some give their political reasons as to why they are against it but then I hear people talk about cultural differences and speak negatively about how their neighborhoods look and so forth. In California, are people scared of hispanics or illegal immigrants? In Texas, I don't see as many scared people. It's very odd so that is why I'm asking because stereotypically, you would think California would be more liberal than the stereotype of conservative Texas. There is a small movement against illegal immigrants and from what I've seen, most of those people are very xenophobic and scared. They have their few token hispanic citizens, asians and blacks but stupid people cannot keep a movement together when underneath it all, they want division.

What are the california laws regarding sexual acts? Like with an adult and a minor. I know that someone 30 can't have sex with a minor, but I also know that some states say there can be up to a five year difference. I was wondering what the California laws were. For example, what about a 16 year old and an 18 year old? Or is it strictly a "you must be 18" thing? I'm just curious, lots of my friends are going through this and I really don't want any of them to get into trouble. Thanks to anyone who knows.

What part of California is the least expensive area to live in? I'm interested in moving to California and I was curious as to which part of the state would be cheapest to live in, while still having descent living standards (I don't want to live in a ghetto or anything!). I'm not opposed to small towns, but I wouldn't want to live in an extremely small town, say less than 5,000 people. I also think it'd be cool to live near the coast. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it, thanks for your help!
California is moving prisoners to other states. How is that going to solve problem? California is moving the first of a reported 5,000 state prisoners to other states because its prisons are bulging at the seams. There are over 173,000 prisoners in facilities designed for fewer than 100,000. California has the highest percentage of prisoners to population in the U.S. (outside of Texas), it has the high recidivism rate, due to a lack of rehabilitation, and the highest percentage of parole violations. Does anyone else find this distressing and ridiculous? What are the possible solutions? I will add a few more details. Of the 173,000 prisoners, 80,000 are violent; the rest are not. Two decades ago, California sentenced these non-violent offenders to county jails, alternative sentencing or other local solutions, not state prisons. Now they're sending everyone to state prison. (The state prison guards union is behind many of the most successful proposals to lock people up for more time.) Those who said they should release violence offenders missed the point. California is locking up people for offenses that other states would handle differently. Again, I ask, what are the solutions?
Has California given any indication of when they will start depositing our 2009 STATE tax refund checks? The website of the california tax board is being(purposefully I think) vague. Yes, I have followed the news quite closely, and while they are broadcasting doom and gloom for this years budget, they have NOT said anything about the tax returns now appearing before them courtesy of electronic filing. Are they going to hold them or not? Have I missed a press release somwhere? Those are my question. Not, "Have I been paying attention?"
Why does California have a 14 billion deficit if california alone is the 6th largest economy in the world? ""Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he will declare a "fiscal emergency" in January so that he and the legislature will have more power to deal with the state's growing deficit. "" I was just reading an article (first paragraph of it is ^ there) about how California has a huge deficit. How is this possible if California brings in so much money from around the world? Where does the money go? No Rick, it isn't. One question at a time, Drool.
How long does it take to travel within California? Hi, if my question does not seem so clear to you, what i'm saying is how long does it take to maybe travel from one end of California to another end, or maybe just from city to city. Oh and also, just if you know, Are the highways safe and have good, enjoyable, views? Thanks for answering my question!
How will Prop 8 be overturned in California? Why is it illegal in the first place? I hear a lot of jargon about constitutional law, wherein neither the people nor the Legislature do not have the right to revise or adjust the California State Constitution, which is what Prop 8 does. And the very proposition violates the constitution itself. There is an equal protection clause that causes prop 8 to be in direct contradiction with the constitution. Yes, the courts and legislature do have the power to overturn it because it's not an amendment, it's a revision. And the "will of the people" cannot violate the rights of the minority. What is the truth? any links?
How is the California Franchise Tax Board going to find out what you have bought from other states? A new question on this year's California tax return. They want to know if the taxpayer has bought anything from another state over the internet or the phone, etc. during the last year. How are they going to find out if a person had bought anything since no social security number was given and tracked, and how are they going to tax on the e-commerce? Wasn't it ruled that interstate e-commerce taxes were sanctioned in a federal court some years ago?
How was a California man able to hide for 18 years a girl he kidnapped? Questions mounted about how a California man was able to hide for 18 years a girl he kidnapped and the two children she bore him, despite warnings from neighbors of something amiss. As scores of police combed the home of suspects Phillip Jarrid, 58, and his wife Nancy, 54, the question is how police failed to act on tipoffs that something suspicious was going on at their house.
Can California Tax Return Forms be gotten online? For some reason I have gotten my employer W2 forms for federal but haven't seen my California State copy. Can this form be downloaded online? Also, what's the cheapest most reliable method of doing tax returns. Of course my radar is always on for the solicitors so I will assess and choose the least subjective option. Thanks for your answer. I think the document I am referring to is the "state copy" per your explanation. I have always received it separately from the federal w2s and usually I just a couple hundreds from it. Any idea how I can get the "state copy" online?
How do I become a citizen of California for college? I want to go to UCLA, but I live in new York and it is too expensive for me to pay out of state tuition to go there. How do you become a citizen of California and can I get an idea of the price of in state tuition? Thank you.
What is the California law on termintating a month to month lease? I am renting out my condo in Southern California on a month to month basis.

Do I need to file taxes in California if I was a student out of state, and changed residency in August? I went to college in Maryland for 4 years, but remained a California resident. While living in Maryland I earned nontaxed (scholarship) and taxed (but claimed exempt from state) income. I moved to Virginia and became a resident in August and earned only nontaxed (scholarship) income. Do I need to file as a resident or a non resident of California (or file at all)? Do I need to file as a part time resident of Virginia?
In California, do I need to send paper copies of 1099-Misc forms to the state? I've prepared the 1099-MISC forms for my independent contractors (this is my first year having them in my business). I know a copy goes to the IRS, but I can't find anything about sending the paper copies to the state (California). Any insight? I'm thinking maybe California gets their information directly from the IRS?
