House was riding his bike on a city street. While he was riding, he frequently looked back to verify that the books that he had

fastened to the rear part of his bike werestill attached. On one occasion while he was looking behind his back, he failed to notice a car that was entering an intersection just as he was crossing it. The car hit her, causing her to sustain numerous injuries. Three eye witnesses stated that the driver of the car had filled to stop at the stop sign before entering the intersection. House sued the driver of the car for negligence. What defenses might the defendant driver raise in this law suit? Discuss fully.

Answer:

The major premise is lack of House to pay attention towards the road ahead of him and the rule of contributory negligence. By using this jurisdiction, the plaintiff's damages will be reduced.

Explanation:

  • The defendant driver, while he may ultimately be liable if all of the witnesses say he ran the stop sign, will raise the comparative fault of House for failing to keep a proper lookout and failing to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
  • The defenses are the same as they would be if the collision was with another car instead of a bicycle.
  • House had an ordinary duty to pay attention to the road ahead of him and keep himself and others safe.
  • By watching his books and not the traffic, he breached that duty.
  • I'm not saying that defense will be successful, but that's what would be alleged by the car's driver as a defense.
  • In most states, the damages to the plaintiff will be reduced by the percentage of his/her comparative fault (also known in some jurisdictions as contributory negligence).
  • In some states, if the plaintiff's comparative fault is shown to be over 50%, there will be no recovery at all.

Difference between ritualism and retreatism​
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Retreatism refers to rejection of both the goals and the means, and rebellion occurs when individuals reject both and then create new goals and means to pursue. According to Merton's theory, ritualism occurs when a person rejects the normative goals of their society but nonetheless continues to participate in the means of attaining them.

​Jack has been released from confinement early and placed on probation. He found a job and rented an apartment in his hometown.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Yes it is lawful.

Explanation:

A sentence of probation is actually an alternative of a jail sentence. The Courts have found that probationers have reduced expectations of privacy so  they don't have the same Fourth Amendment rights as others. Courts can require probationers to submit to warrantless searches not supported by probable cause. The goal is only to help rehabilitate the probationer, protect society, or both.

Although officers usually need warrants or probable cause before they can search a person or home, a search condition eliminates this requirement. In some states, an officer must have reasonable suspicion before conducting a probation search, but in others, an officer can conduct  searches at any time, even without reason to believe that the probationer committed a crime. Some  of these search conditions allow only probation officers to search, while others authorize both probation and police officers to do the same

The Fourth Amendment typically prevents police from searching someone’s body, belongings, or home without a warrant or probable cause. But judges gives a condition of sentencing someone to probation, that the probationer agree to warrantless searches. Since this condition does not entitled the probationer’s normal Fourth Amendment rights, it’s sometimes called a “Fourth waiver.”
