What to Know About Fireworks

You will not have to wait much longer to buy your fireworks for July 4. In just a few days time, it will be June 28, the first day people are allowed to purchase fireworks in California. Fireworks can continue to be purchased until July 6. Other than knowing when you can buy your fireworks, you will need to know what type of fireworks you can buy, and more importantly, how to handle them properly. Fireworks are not toys. They need to be in the hands of only those who are responsible and old enough to use them safely and properly.

Fireworks are categorized as either “dangerous” or “safe and sane.” Under no circumstances can dangerous fireworks be sold to the public. Dangerous fireworks include firecrackers, roman candles, rockets, sparklers longer than 10 inches, torpedoes, and more...

How Long can a Person be Detained by the Police

How long can the police hold a person without charging them? In many states, the police have a 72 hour window. In California, the police are allowed 48 hours to hold/ detain a person without charges being made. After 48 hours, if no charges are filed, then the police must release this person.

In this 48 hour window, the police or detectives must work closely with prosecutors. The police cannot bring charges against the arrestee. It is the prosecutor who does this. The police and detectives must provide the prosecutor with the proper and substantial evidence that a crime has occurred and that the arrestee was involved.

If the prosecutor does not bring charges within that 48 hour window, they can always bring charges against this person later on...

New Drone Regulations For Commercial Use

brisbane bail bonds

(Some) drone operators and enthusiasts may rejoice – commercial use drones by businesses will no longer need special permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly the drone each time they wish to do so. There are still regulations and rules to follow, but it will be much less of a hassle in due time. Here’s what you still need to know:

  • Drones must weigh no more than 55 pounds.
  • Drones may fly no higher than 400 feet.
  • Drones may fly no faster than 100 miles per hour.
  • Operator must have a direct line of sight with the drone at all times.
  • Drones may not fly after sunset.
  • Drones must be kept away from crowds.
  • Operator must be FAA-certified.

Again this applies only to commercial drone use, not private/ personal drone use...

Bail Bonds: Wise Man’s Way

If you ever thought of bail bonds as the poor man’s way of bailing out of jail, you are completely wrong. It is the wiser man’s way of bailing out of jail, and the most popular way. Talk to a bail agent now about 0 down bail bonds.

With bail bonds, you pay only 10% of the full bail amount to the bail bonds company over an extended period of time. You typically continue making payments after the defendant’s release from jail. This 10% is not refunded back, but it sure is a softer hit to your finances.

With cash bail, however, you have to come up with 100% of the money for the bail and turn it over to the court. Only when you pay 100% of it, does the defendant get out of jail...

Your Loved One Was Arrested? No Way!

Most people who are arrested once will realize their mistake and learn from it. They see that they are not above the law, they are not invincible or invisible with regards to the police, and that jail is a very serious matter that they want to avoid for the rest of their lives. These are the people who realize their own potential a little later than ideal, but at least they figured it out.

Plenty of San Franciscons who have criminal records, are successful men and women. They may have a criminal record, but their records are not composed of the most criminal incidents. Perhaps they put off paying parking tickets, or they shoplifted, or trespassed. Besides, it’s all in their past. Now they are bankers, educators, CEOs and CFOs, psychiatrists, doctors and nurses, and more...

Smoking Trends Rise and So Does the Legal Age Limit

In recent years, vaping has become a very popular ‘alternative’ to smoking cigarettes. Compared to smoking cigarettes, vaping is ‘healthier’ both for the individual and their environment. However, both vaping and smoking cigarettes continue to carry a social stigma with them, a “coolness” factor. While vaping is growing more popular, it is not replacing cigarettes altogether.

Since the introduction of e-cigarettes in 2004, the percentage of high school seniors who smoked increased from 9% to 13%. It is still a bad habit, and e-cigarettes are not completely risk-free either. Plus, the University of Southern San Francisco found in a recent survey that teens who vaped were 6 times more likely to smoke cigarettes than those who do not vape.

In another attempt to curb teen smoking, ...
