    That particular bit has been ruled on by the US Supreme Court. You do not have to show a cop ID, you do have to provide your name. Check the ruling.

    It looks like the former to me. YOu need to worry about the latter.

    And he, or a rape victim for that matter, needs to acquire the skills necessary to deal with the past injury. Very few people (some would say none) can do this all by themselves. Therapy can help.

    Are you even remotely aware what periodontitis or even gingivitis can cause? Look it up. That is what will be listed as the cause of death.

    Are you trying to infer that dental health is not related to longevity? What percentage of English people over the age of 50, still have their original teeth (the answer is out there, go find it). I'll give you a hint, a lot more do not than do.

    If the English healthcare system is so great, why is there a separate, private healthcare system there for those who can afford to pay? How long does one wait for an elective surgery like, say, a hip replacement?

    Which is why they sent their high-ranking people to the west for advanced surgeries and why all Soviet people have such great-looking teeth? Don't kid yourself.

    it all depends on how the warrant is written. I was once serveed with one that gave the PD a right to coonfiscate the company's entire data center (granted this was in the early 90s). The PD changed their minds when they saw what would be involved. :)

    They still keep all the cash they raised at the IPO.

    Whatever happens to the stock in the future does not affect this. Future stock price affects things related to money in the future, but all the money raised in the IPO is cash in the bank, so to speak.
