Should women have any immunity or identity protection when they make false claims? Should women have any immunity or identity protection when they make false claims of crimes committed against them? If so, why? If not, why are they obviously getting it? I have no knowledge of men getting to enjoy this kind of protection in the law. cyanne2ak said: "By the way, you can always sue them in civil court." Not if your life and reputation has been destroyed. Unable to get work, unable to afford an attorney to sue, and unable to get help anywhere because nobody wants to be associated with you because of the false claims. You are a woman. There are many resources for women in the United States. There are NONE for men without money, and who are disabled.

Life Lock Identity Theft Protection? I signed up for this two months ago and I am very dissatisfied, and want to know if anyoe else has encountered the problems I have... For one I only got 2 of the 3 credit reports they say they will send you when you sign up; and a note from the 3rd company saying I already requested my free credit report this year! Also they claim to reduce "pre-selected credit offers" and junk mail; while I have recieved a GREAT increase in junk mail and the credit offers. And now since I signed up I am recieveing all this junk from personal people and not just bussiness; like chain letters from people I do not know and trash like that. Has anyone else signed up for this service and experienced this kind of response? Let me know. Thanks & Gods Blessings!

Rape defendant identity protection? So much protection is put to hide the identity of a rape victim, and understandably so. But just the mere accusation, even if it doesn't go to court, of rape or sexual harassment could ruin a man's life. Should there be laws protecting a defendant's identity until they are proven guilty so as to avoid defamation?

Anyone hear of a Preferred Savings Network, supposedly an identity protection firm for credit cards?

I just left the phone off the hook and then eventually he hung up but then called right back. When I refused to give him the info he said i would regret it!!! This company is supposedly located in Scottsdale AZ.

Witness identity protection,are the law lords right? From a personal viewpoint I see the dangers of these sort of witnesses and can also see the point of view of wanting to convict at any cost some dangerous people like the murderous scum that killed the Shakespeare girl in Birmingham,trouble is with witnesses being allowed to remain anoymous is in the short term it's got it's advantages but think seriously it's not always going to be used just in sensational murder cases and this system is open to corruption.Does anyone have an opinion?

life lock identity protection? Has anybody tried this? It says that they will let you know whenever somebody tries to use your identityand those people are arrested and stuff. And they want a lot of money for this service. But dont you think that this service should be free to us? All the interest we pay if we use a cedit card should be put towards our protection since we give these banks our money. Agree? Since nearly everyone uses a bank they should be protecting our identities. Who would you contact to suggest this idea? I didnt ask what it is. I already know. Im saying it should be a protection we should be offered. The government wants our money to pay taxes so they should do something to protect our identities. How do we let the government know that we want our idetities protected?
British justice now a thing of the past - murderer of headteacher getting new home and identity? So now it transpires that we, the British taxpayers, will be footing the bill for the killer of headteacher Phillip Lawrence? According to media reports, Learco Chindamo, the culprit, will be getting a new home, new identity, and intensive security protection costing up to ONE MILLION a year. And we'll be paying for it! Do you agree that British justice is a thing of the past? And that Chindamo should have been deported back to Italy? How is it that the judges in other countries manage to interpret the same Human Rights legislation in a more rational way than the lunatics in our British courts? I feel so, so sorry for the family of Phillip Lawrence.

Would my name and address alone be sufficient for someone to steal my identity? Is it worth going through the effort of shredding every envelope and address label I receive or is the problem mainly with other items of personal information? I would appreciate an answer from someone who has experienced such a theft or who works in the identity protection industry, rather than a guess. If just the name is stolen, I guess it depends on the name. I mean, if your name is 'John Smith', it would be very difficult for anyone to prove that it was a particular John Smith who entered into a contract unless there's an address as well. Perhaps a name like Roald Dahl or River Phoenix would be simpler to defraud.

I merely suggested that something is bloody unfair about the fact that currently in the UK, the guilty have more rights than the victims. Why on earth have you responded so aggressively???!

How to legally vanish and obtain a new identity? Hey to all. I have no criminal record what-so-ever. My credit is decent. I want to just "disappear" and obtain a new identity.

I see it in the movies all the time and would love to do it today if possible. I have no one chasing me or any drama like that. I just want to live a new life and end the old me. Relocate...reestablish myself, etc. Does anyone know if this can be done legally?

Thanks for your answers! To anyone past the two answerers who have posted already...is it a big deal or not in the media in the UK?

Does "Christian Identity" represent all Christians? So why say Al Qaeda represents all muslims if this does not represent all Chrstians? Christian Identity, along with KKK, are even allowed to host parades in public and get protection from the police. What justifies this? Should I blame every Christian out there for their actions, especially Rosewood? That wouldn't make much sense, now would it? How about having the same rationale and realizing that there are fringe elements of extremism on all sides, and that the majority are peace loving peoples who are trying to adhere to the true message of their faiths/non faiths. Here is a link to that group. What do you think about this? Tell me your thoughts, please ? http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/Christian_Identity.asp?xpicked=4&item=Christian_ID
Computer Protection Question.? I have iolo system mechanic and mcafee security center installed on my computer and i uninstalled norton antivirus long ago and on system mechanic it says "Norton Internet Worm Protection is installed, but may not be active or running" and after i uninstalled avast antivirus, it said that i didnt have any virus protection. I thought that McAfee was supposed to take care of that? Mcafee Security Center does have its own firewall and virus protection but still when i log on aol and system mechanic, they both say that there is no protection found. Should i just ignore it? Or there some kind of error on my computer? and since my computer supposedly says that it isnt protected from hackers and identity theives. I changed the setting in McAfee's Firewall to be in stealth, which completely hides my computer's presence in the internet and blocks all inbound connections. Am i possibly protected then?
Should sexual orientation or gender identity crimes be included in the Ethnic Intimidation Act ? Senator Hansen Clarke,(D-Detroit), plans to introduce legislation that would amend the Ethnic Intimidation Act to also include crimes motivated by a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. The amendment would increase the punishment for crimes deemed “hate crimes,” adding extra protection to Michigan’s gay and transgender community and deterring such crimes from ever happening in the first place. Andrew Anthos,a 72 year-old gay man died on Feb. 23 as a result of injuries sustained in an anti-gay assault on Feb. 13. He was assaulted by a man who followed him off his bus after asking if he was gay; the assailant struck Anthos from behind with a lead pipe. Anthos was best known for his more than 20-year effort to light the dome of the State Capitol red, white, and blue one night per year in honor of U.S. veterans. Representative Mark Larsen explained . "Just like ethnic intimidation, the motive in this case was to create fear and intimidation within a specific community.
Could someone be stealing my identity? I just tried to get my free credit report online but all three agencies told me that "for my protection, they cannot give me my report online and I must request one through the mail." It says I either have a Security Freeze on my credit file, an Active Duty Military or Fraud Alert, or the identification info submitted may not match the information on file. Does this mean that someone is using my identity? I contacted Experian and they gave me another number to call and I keep getting one of those recordings that ask for your info. but I never get a real person. The number Experian gave me was to the annual credit report place.
Where can I find find free firewall downloads, with secure privacy protection, on the net ? Most free firewall downloads do not protect your identity, IP address, ports, cookies, and other private information. I use the PC Flank website to test the firewall's protection. So far, no free firewall download does not, adeqauately, protect the computer's information, IP address, or other user's private information. Thank You for your help and cooperation.
How come Philip Agee is a whistle-blower to the New York Times but Scooter Libby is still the goat? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080109/us_nm/cuba_usa_spy_dc "The exposés of Mr. Agee and others led Congress to pass the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, which made it a crime to intentionally reveal the identity of a covert intelligence officer. An investigation of the possible violation of that law in 2003 after Valerie Wilson was named as a C.I.A. officer led to the perjury conviction last year of I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/10/obituaries/10agee.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
Credit Cards - UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES - how common? You sign up for a new Credit Card... the agent tells you about some "Special Programs" that are available to you... for example: 1- Payment Protection 2- Identity Protection You know you DO NOT want them... You know you would NOT and HAVE NOT authorized them... Yet, they appear as charges on your FIRST STATEMENT. This has happened to me before, and has just happened again... the (monthly) charges are $11.99 for one and $16.49 for the other... I'm in the process of cancelling both... How common is this for charges that you DO NOT want and you never authorized to appear on your statement anyway? I've contacted the "Identity Protection" Plan and have cancelled that one.... (was able to do this over the phone) The "Payment Protection" Plan, I called and the recording says "our system is being upgraded to 'give you better service' please call back tomorrow." (which I will do). The point is, even though I never authorized these, the Agent obviously signed me up for them as if I did. Pretty sneaky and unethical and should be against the law.
IE7 Internet and McAfee problem? I am a Comcast user and get the free McAfee software download. I run XP Pro. Recently I have been experiencing a internet browser problem were McAfee stops the browser from working. I have a network connection active but the browser, IE7 and Mozilla Firefox, will not get any internet pages. McAfee offers the Virus protection, firewall, identity protection and spam blocker. When I delete Mcafee then my browsers work fine. Also, I have discovered that if I just download the virus and firewall the internet worked until an update yesterday came out and when it downloaded then it stopped the browsers from working again. Deleted Mcaffee and activated Micrsoft/Nvidia firewall and it all worked fine. I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions or ideas as to what is going on here?

If there was no crime in the Plame case , why did the CIA report it to USJD? On September 16, 2003 the CIA sent a letter to the US Department of Justice, asserting that Plame's status as a CIA undercover operative was classified information and requesting a federal investigation. Knowingly leaking the identity of a covert agent is a criminal violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act (IIPA), and the CIA is required by law to report any such possible criminal violations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plame_affair
What software does surpassdomains.com use for domain name management? Looking for another registrar using this I have been searching for a domain name registrar and I can't stand the user interfaces many companies offer for domain name management. Many are too cluttered and focused on trying to get more of my money. I just want to register a few domain names and manage them all in one place without having to deal with all the clutter. I have used surpassdomains.com in the past and I like their domain management interface but I need a domain reseller that offers identity protection for less than $20 per domain. I would like to find out what software surpassdomains uses, and other domain registrars using that software. Thanks!
Why should the taxpayers of the UK have to fork out miliions to give the Italian murderer a new identity? The murderer of headmaster Mr Lawrence is to be given a new identity (as well as his family) when he comes out of prison at the expense of decent British taxpayers of millions of pounds. 1) He is in for murder, should he not stay in for life? 2) Should the bastard have been executed? 3) Should he not have been extradited to Italy/ 4) Should they not leave the low-life to his fate, or get the Italians to pay for his protection? We british don't want murderers on our streets and we certainly don't want to pay to protect the bastards. Old know all...I NEVER read The Sun!!!!!, it's a comic. Every time a story like this comes out the liberal lefties always deny it and say that The Sun has made it all up. I wish that were true, but nothing about this EU led Labour government surprises me any more.
