Courts may serve documents only to individuals within the court‘s jurisdiction. One exception to this rule is states that invoke universal jurisdiction, granting their courts ubiquitous domain. Therefore a person seeking to take an action against a person in another country will need to seek assistance from the judicial authorities in the other country. This is of course assuming the court in his own country has jurisdiction to hear the case matter. As a hypothetical example, Alice in the United States wishes to sue Roberto in Argentina. Alice issues her summons in a U.S. court, and must then petition a court in Argentina by means of a Letter Rogatory to serve the process on Roberto.
We have had fake Advocates,Policemen,Doctors, and now a fake Judge!
It seems that the man was arrested on the complaint of a man who was promised a job.
But….
The fake Judge discussed the case of Ms.Jayalalithaa with AIADMKMP Maithreyan four times since January 2011 posing as Judge Dinakaran and money matters in crores seem to have been discussed.
-Why did not Maithreyan bring this to Public?
-Did he not ring up Judge Dinakaran on the Judge’s phone, which is available for Public?
Why did he not lodge a complaint with the Police?
Or these fixing of Judges is natural and in thing in Politics.
Story:
Madurai, Feb 23: A junior official, who impersonated a Judge and reportedly demanded crores of Rupees to get a favourable order in the wealth case against former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, has been arrested on charges of forgery, impersonation and cheating.
Police have recovered from him fake documents, Rs 45,000 in cash, four mobile phones and a diary with phone numbers of IAS, IPS officials, Court Judges and secretaries.
An official press release here said investigation revealed that the man posing as Justice N Dinakaran, had spoken to AIADMK MP V Maithhreyan four times since Jan 2011. He discussed the case and demanded several crores of Rupees to give a favourable order.
Police said they had recorded his confessional statement and had checked details with the MP.
The man also posed as High Court Judge or district judge and had spoken to top police officials, seeking transfers of some people.
The release said he was arrested and remanded in a cheating case in 2008 and suspended, which was revoked after six months.
It takes perverts to make us realize how sane we are.
French police said Thursday they arrested a 63-year-old woman who was leading her 40-year-old companion along a busy shopping street by a leash attached to his exposed penis.
The couple were detained Wednesday afternoon in the southwestern city of Carcassonne and were due to appear in court in April on charges of public indecency.
The couple admitted to being sex addicts and said they were in the middle of a game when arrested, police said.
Had a man done something less serious, media and people would have been screaming for his head with out even a trial?
Time women of dubious character are given the same treatment as for men.
Media reaction to these incidences are muted and they cover for readership,not for getting justice.
For offences,even while it is in the process of being filed, a man is pronounced guilty as in any physical violence or divorce case where harassment is cited as a reason.
Still worse is mental cruelty.Mental cruelty is not the domain of men only.
Number of women who are convicted of harassing husbands or reason for a divorce is practically nil .
Again when a wife commits suicide husband is the first suspect ;never a parent or a brother/sister .
Treat both equally when a complaint is filed and do hear the man,s side before declaring him guilty.
A mother-of-two has been arrested after flying across America to have sex with a 13-year-old boy she met playing video games on the Internet.
Rachel Ann Hicks, 36, is being held on suspicion of child molestation and rape.
She allegedly befriended the teenager in an X-Box live chat room, according to investigators.

The United States government classification system is currently established under Executive Order 13526, the latest in a long series of executive orders on the topic.[1] Issued by PresidentBarack Obama in 2009, Executive Order 13526 replaced earlier executive orders on the topic and modified the regulations codified to 32 C.F.R. 2001. It lays out the system of classification, declassification, and handling of national security information generated by the U.S. government and its employees and contractors, as well as information received from other governments.[2]

An example of a U.S. classified document; page 13 of a United StatesNational Security Agency report[3] on the USS Libertyincident, partially declassified and released to the public in July 2003. The original overall classification of the page, “top secret” code word UMBRA, is shown at top and bottom. The classification of individual paragraphs and reference titles is shown in parentheses—there are six different levels on this page alone. Notations with leader lines at top and bottom cite statutory authority for not declassifying certain sections.
The desired degree of secrecy about such information is known as its sensitivity. Sensitivity is based upon a calculation of the damage to national security that the release of the information would cause. The United States has three levels of classification: confidential, secret, and top secret. Each level of classification indicates an increasing degree of sensitivity. Thus, if one holds a top-secret security clearance, one is allowed to handle information up to the level of top secret, including secret and confidential information. If one holds a secret clearance, one may not then handle top-secret information, but may handle secret and confidential classified information.
By law, information may not be classified merely because it would be embarrassing or to cover illegal activity; information may only be classified to protect national-security objectives.
Cables covered under this,merely because somebody marked it so?
Where is national security involved in calling world leaders names or Iran has nuclear capability?
It only exposes US Government’s internal working and in most case spying and interfering in other Nations’ affairs.
Shield Law.
Definition
A shield law is a law that gives reporters some means of protection against being forced to disclose confidential information or sources in state court. There is no federal shield law (although a limited one has been passed by the House and awaits a Senate vote as of July 2008), and state shield laws vary in scope. In general, however, a shield law aims to provide the classic protection of, “a reporter cannot be forced to reveal his or her source” law. Thus, a shield law provides a privilege to a reporter pursuant to which the reporter cannot be forced by subpoena or other court order to testify about information contained in a news story and/or the source of that information. Several shield laws additionally provide protection for the reporter even if the source and/or information is revealed during the dissemination of the news story, ie., whether or not the source or information is confidential. Depending on the jurisdiction, the privilege may be total or qualified, and it may also apply to other persons involved in the news-gathering and dissemination process as well, such as an editor or a publisher
