How to Become a Commercial Property Lawyer
If you are interested in becoming a commercial property lawyer, the following article explains everything you need to know. Perhaps you’ve had experience of working in a law firm, or have had experience of buying or selling property before, and it’s an area that interests you.
What does a commercial property lawyer do?
The cases which a commercial property lawyer will work on generally involve the sale, purchase and lease of property for use as business premises. This includes offices, industrial units, retail units and manufacturing plants. Their role is to deal with legal implications of these property transactions. Specifically, they will look at issues such as Land Registration rules, rent, deeds and property licenses. Read the rest of this entry »

Traffic Law and UAV Video Feeds – Are They Legal?
When it comes to traffic law there seems to be all sorts of new electronic speed trap technologies out there. For instance, the police use radar guns, and speeders use radar detectors. In many states radar detectors are illegal, and perhaps that makes sense because the people who buy them are speeders, and speeding is illegal. But radar guns used by police are not the only electronic devices which are catching traffic law violators.
There are also red light cameras in many cities, and in fact we have a couple in our own town. But the latest electronic traffic law weapon will really throw you for a loop, the police are now using unmanned aerial vehicles, or unmanned aerial systems (UAVs or UAS) to catch traffic violators and speeders.
In a recent article a very popular GPS product manufacturer that also provides the service from the satellite was allowing the police to look through their data, along with public decision-makers in highway engineers looking over the traffic data. You can imagine how upset those who had the GPS units were, that those units were being used to help police set up speed traps, along their fastest routes. After all, they bought the GPS system to help navigate traffic jams, and now they are paying another price in a speeding ticket for trying to expedite and navigate around them.

International Traffic Law – The Right to Drive a Car in Saudi Arabia Versus US Privileges
If you thought traffic laws were tough in the US, think again. Yes, you could argue that the vehicle code in your state is probably about the size of a medium range dictionary, and I guess now you know why the traffic lawyers, traffic court judges, and the highway patrolmen are paid so well. But comparatively speaking, it’s much more difficult driving in other countries, and many of their laws just don’t seem to make sense.
Indeed, I read that Saudi Arabia has a law that if you have a gorilla in the car you are not allowed to let them ride in the backseat. Because if the gorilla gets excited, which they often do while they ride around in a car, they typically try to grab a hold of the driver in front of them, and they are very strong, and if they grab around your head you will not be able to see where you’re driving or control the vehicle. Obviously you can see how serious this is, so they do have a law on the books in Saudi Arabia, I kid you not, that all guerrillas must drive in the front seat and on the passenger side strapped in.
Oh, and if you are a woman, they really look down on women drivers. If the woman is an accident no matter whose fault, she is pretty much automatically at fault. And in most cities they can’t drive at all. In fact, there was a very interesting article recently in the New York Times titled “Saudi Arabia Arrests Woman Leading Right-to-Drive Campaign,” by Neil MacFarquhar, published on May 23, 2011 which stated; Read the rest of this entry »
