Open Question: What happens after the bail amount is posted?

My brother was caught stealing and had to pay $500 He payed the $500 that he owed but didnt show up for court. The court sent him an arrest warrant saying the bond ammount is $200. What happens after he goes to a bailbond agency to receive the $200? Does he bring that money to the Municipal Court Violations Bureau(place he has to go for arrest warant)? Or where? What are the exact steps after that? We cant find this information online and we dont want to just call unless we definitely cant find info. Thank you

Voting Question: Should my bail bond earn interest?

I posted a $25,000 cash bail for my nephew 5 years ago. The case is now resolved and I'm supposed to be getting my money back. Will my $25,000 bond money earn interest over the past 5 years it was being held by the bonding company?

Resolved Question: Do you think this can explain the housing bubble in a way you will understand?

Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit. She realizes that virtually every of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar. To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later. Heidi keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers' loans). Word gets around about Heidi's "drink now, pay later" marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi's bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Detroit. By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Consequently, Heidi's gross sales volume increases massively. A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Heidi's borrowing limit. He sees no reason for any undue concern, since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral. At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer loans into DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then bundled and traded on international security markets. Naive investors don't really understand that the securities being sold to them as AAA secured bonds are really the debts of unemployed alcoholics. Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb, and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation's leading brokerage houses. One day, even though the bond prices are still climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has arrive to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi's bar. He so informs Heidi. Heidi then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed alcoholics they cannot pay back their drinking debts. Since Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and the eleven employees lose their jobs. Overnight, DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS and PUKEBONDS drop in price by 90%. The collapsed bond asset value destroys the banks liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community.The suppliers of Heidi's bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms' pension funds in the various BOND securities. They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds. Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers. Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multi-billion dollar no-strings attached cash infusion from their cronies in Government. The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class, non-drinkers who have never been in Heidi's bar. Any questions?

Resolved Question: What is an Annex Judge?

I'm not even sure if I'm spelling that correctly; Well what happened was that I missed my court day which was yesterday and I called the 311 number to find out what it is that I had to do. They told me that since I had missed my court day I would have to call a a bail bond and place a bond. When I called the bond place they told me that I have a 15 grace period? And I was not told this when I called 311. The bail bond place also told me that I would have to talk to an Annex Judge....But I'm scared to go to court now and talk to a judge since I miss court a day ago...and I guess is a warrant now. But He assured me that they would not take me in because I still had that 15 day grace period, and that an Annex Judge would work with me and help,. What should I do? I'm very confused and calling 311 won't help, they are so rude and act like they don't want to help nobody. Any suggestions? By the way I'm in Houston T.x Thanks in advance!

Voting Question: Can I get my bail money back?

I bailed my brother out of jail, and because he had a warrant out for him in a different city than the one he got put in jail for, I also paid the bond for the second city. Long story short, he wound up back in jail before he could make an appearance at his scheduled court date for the second city. Can I receive my bail money back for the second city since he was unable to make that court date (since he was back in jail in the first city)? Sorry, maybe I'm not using the terms correctly. I actually paid, I didn't go thru a bond company. So that means I paid bail right?

Voting Question: My brother owes a bails bondman but?

My brother was released on a 10k bond. He paid the lady 5k up front and he agreed to pay $300 a month until everything is paid off! My mom co-signed? the bond? I dont know what she did but I know that the payments should be made in "her name"..the bonds lady charged my brother credit card for $1000! She wasnt suppose to charge his card, they never agreed to that and he didnt give her any permission! My brother used his credit card to pay her the 5k up front so I guess thats why she was able to receive a hold of his card #! But she wasnt suppose to charge his card and not for that amount! What should he do? He has already called his bank and they opened a case..what else can be done? If it says in the contract that he is suppose to pay $300 a month then why is she charging his card $1000 without his permission? isnt that fraud/illegal? yea if your tardy with payments then they charge a tiny fee, not $1000..my mom has the contract right here...

Resolved Question: Should Maryland be reporting all illegals arrested to ICE?

Maryland does not report to ICE when illegals are arrrested for many violation including weapons violations. Should every crimes be reported to ICE, no matter the severity? What should Maryland do with these illegals? Will reporting to ICE now, help that 11 year old child? This is an East coast state, why should It even be considered a sanctuary state? Is this proof that gang violence has spread across the country? XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Suspected illegal alien gang members arrested for rape of 11-year-old girl February 25, Dave Gibson Montgomery County Police Dept.On Tuesday night, police in Montgomery County, MD arrested two men accused of raping an 11-year-old girl. Officers found the two in the apartment, where the alleged assault took place. Montgomery County police spokesman Cpl. Dan Friz told reporters: “Based on the information she provided and the location and description of the gentlemen and some of the contents in the apartment, the officers went right to the apartment, found the two guys in the apartment, locked them up.” Officers arrested Melquicide H. Sorto, 31, and Marcos R. Torres-Enriquez, 20, and charged them with second-degree rape. Both are being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $1 million bond. The victim said she first encountered the men in the afternoon, close the intersection of Piney Branch Road and Carroll Avenue when they yelled at her in Spanish. The girl, who does not talk Spanish, kept walking. Later, she was playing in a nearby park, when the two grabbed her and forced her into their apartment in the 8700 block of Carroll Avenue, where she says both men raped her. The little girl ran home and immediately told her mom. She was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and later released. Due to the heinous nature of the crime, police have notified Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the arrest, and are currently investigating a possible link to gang activity. Montgomery County police only report illegal aliens to the feds when they have been arrested for a very serious crime such as rape or murder. As Judicial Watch recently pointed out, illegal aliens arrested for burglary, simple assault, and most weapons violations are still not reported to ICE for deportation. Just as with any offender, bail is set for them and they are released back onto the streets to either commit more crimes in the county or to flee elsewhere. As a direct result of Maryland’s continued lax attitude toward illegal immigration, the state’s sanctuary cities, and lack of cooperation with federal authorities, violent crimes committed by illegal aliens have recently soared. Maryland is also one of a handful of states which issues driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. Additionally, the Maryland State Board of Education recently announced that they will not allow county school districts to count the number of illegal alien students registered in their respective districts. The following is a short list of some of the violent crimes recently committed by illegal aliens in Montgomery County, MD: -In July 2009, Edwin Umana, 21, was stabbed to death by seven Hispanic gang members. -In November 2008, Tai Lam, 14 was shot to death on a crowded bus by 20-year-old MS-13 member and Takoma Park resident Hector Mauricio Hernandez. Unfortunately, this killing could have been avoided if Hernandez had been reported to federal authorities a month earlier, when the illegal alien was released after being caught carrying a concealed weapon. -In October 2008, police arrested Honduran national Jose Juan Garcia-Perlera, 33, for the murder of Frances Havenstein, 63, after being linked to the crime with DNA evidence. He was also charged with several counts of robbery in a string of home invasions which targeted elderly homeowners. He always tied-up his victims, one of whom was 92-years-old. At the time of his arrest, Garcia-Perlera was living in Hyattsville, MD and working for an electrical contractor. He had been in the country illegally for six years. -In September 2008, while at a local mall, a Gaithersburg teenager was stabbed nearly 50 times by gang members Ricardo Mejia, 16, Oswaldo Michael Lainez, 16, Omar Diaz, 16, and Edgar Garcia, 15. Though he was stabbed in the heart, the teen survived the attack. every of the assailants were charged as adults with attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two conspiracy charges. In April 2009, Montgomery County Police Chief J. Thomas Manger announced that criminal activity committed by illegal alien gangs MS-13 and the Latin Kings had increased significantly and accounted for the higher numbers of serious crimes such as rape, robbery, and murder. According to the Maryland State’s Attorney’s Office, there are 40

Hello everyone, I have a 16 year old brother that was assaulted last night by two older guys. These guys took $15 from him and an iPod which he letter got back when the cops cached those guys. My question is if there is anything we can do to follow the case or to make sure those guys receive a long sentence for steeling and beating a 16 year old kid. We were told by the cops that they were going to take those guys to jail and that we didn't need to do anything, but those 30 year old guys threatened my brother. They told him that they will arrive back and receive him if he calls the police so now we are really afraid that those guys will pay the bail bond and arrive to receive my brother. My brother do not look like a gangster he dreams of becoming a lawyer :( he is a really good kid. Please if any of you guys know what we can do please let me know. I want to do anything to keep these guys in jail. Thanks. PLEASE NO MEAN ANSWERS.. WE ALREADY CALL THE POLICE AND THEY ARE NOT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT TO TELL US THAT THOSE GUYS MIGHT BE ABLE TO receive OUT IF THEY PAY THE BAIL.

Resolved Question: Do you think a privately run financial sector could be the answer?

Tonight (Saturday night) Fannie Mae reported a $75B loss for 2009 after a $60B loss for 2008 and needs $15B more from taxpayers just for the month of March. The Treasury paid $700B to bail out the banks and now can't receive them to lend. every of the regulators missed subprime and none of the credit reporting agencies or auditors picked up the impending collapse. Now government, the lender of last resort, is going cap in hand to the bond market for assistance and printing money when it can't cover the shortfall. Given the complete failure of government to regulate the financial system, do you believe the answer could be a privately run global financial system that has one single goal - making sure buyers and sellers can trade in a free market with quality information - rather than serving a thousand masters like keeping inflation low, keeping the economy going, regulating everyone, making homes affordable, preventing big companies from failing, etc? Why or why not? Thanks for your thoughts.

Resolved Question: I need advice about my step mother?

Usually this is the other way around right? My biological mom is bi polar and because of it she has been very abusive my whole life she has put me through hell. I always wanted to know what it would be like to have a mom so I always put a lot of effort in trying to receive close to my step mom...She came into the picture when I was eight and she has one son and two daughters. I am now 22 years old married and have three kids…every of their dads bailed out so my dad raised them and has genuinely treated them right I mean he treated them as his possess and I support him in doing that I could not imagine living life without my dad. I am glad to look what an amazing step dad can be like and I am proud to look my dad has gone over and beyond for his three step kids. However, I do not understand where she is coming from why wouldn’t she do that for me??? It seems like she only cares about her kids and deals with me on an obligated basis even though I have invited her places, called and told her how I feel, told her in conversation face to face and still I receive nothing from her…I guess I will just have to accept that she wants nothing to do with me when I have been so open with her…she is great to her kids and different towards me….for example me and my husband went through a rough time so I had to go to my dad to ask him for groceries for me and my kids well my dad says your step mom will take you to receive groceries which I was grateful for so my dad gave her the money and we went together….after I loaded up my truck that was it, I have lived in my home for two years she has only came by twice and only to pick up my kids so they could visit with their grandfather…this example validates that she only does things when my dad asks her to or when she feels obligated….why would she want to be like that? So many other examples I could give but that would be a book full but recently she really hurt me bad…I grew up playing soccer in fact this is how she met my dad me and her daughter played together on her team when we were 8….anyway there is a women’s league were we live I put a team together and invited her and her daughter to play on my team they had some girls who could play and I had my biological sister and a couple of my life friends playing as well…me and my sister shelled out 180 bucks for uniforms…in addition my sister has never really gotten close to my dad and step mom because she feels it would hurt our biological mom but saw this as a window of opportunity to receive close to her as I thought it could bond our relationship…my sister has four kids and I have three so at the games it was adorable to look them every playing on the sidelines so my dad got to look his grandchildren I me and my sister were trying to bond with my step mom what a win-win situation right?? Wrong it was a disaster and I could not understand why she would look it differently than what I am telling you….what ended up happening was my team played for three seasons total…well unfortunately she missed a lot of games because her mom was dying of cancer and then ended up passing away…I felt really bad for her and completely empathized with her situation and offered any help to her and would call or text her to check on her and how things were going….well meanwhile my team was doing pretty well we won over half of our games and won our division in the second season even won fifty bucks towards the next seasons league fees…well in season three she ends up coming back and her daughter was showing up to more games…now my step sister and mom are very competitive and over bearing….they started talking down to people during the game and specifically to me my sister and our pal….well my pal has never played soccer before so she is learning…sometimes they would leave her crying with their comments…me being the coach nicely told everyone including my step mom that mean comments and unconstructive criticism was not going to be tolerated well she hated that I told her to cease on numerous occasions….so instead of talking to me about it and working our differences out she started telling people on the team that I could not coach and that they should start their possess team without me and my sister…she would leave games without saying goodbye or giving me a hug which really hurt me….what was this really about why couldn’t she support me as a coach???Why couldn’t she be an adult and work her differences out with me????Well I missed a game I had a kidney infection…my husband went with the kids anyway well this was the only reason why I found out but the new team she was agreeing to support behind my back….my husband saw her and her daughter recruiting other players for their new team and not only that but they convinced every of the other girls to go with them on this other team….they said that my pal was too sensitive and needed to toughen up…and that they were sick of me standing up for her…they would say things in front of her like don’t pa

Resolved Question: Can someone kick you out /lock you out of the house if you called the cops on them?

So suppose that one or more of the people you live in the home with have just committed assault against you. You want to go to the police and you should go to the police, but the aggressor[s] threaten to lock you out or kick you out if you do. This happened to a pal of mine; they were assaulted by two other people in turn where they lived; My pal went to the police, and the attackers went to jail. But then when they made bail/bond, they came back and immediately kicked my pal out because of it. They even stole the victim's phone and keys so that they couldn't receive their stuff or call for any further help, or steer their possess car. They had to walk God knows how far from the home in order to find an officer again for help. I found out after my pal asked the police to contact me. They had to be taken to where to where I live by police escort because my roommates were still out of town with the car, and I work at home anyway. I didn't think something like this would happen at every, let alone at the worst possible time. It was a very scary thing to hear and it's made me sob since then. every my pal did was what anyone in a capable enough mindset would do if they were abused/assaulted--go to the cops for help. Was what the attackers did to my pal after the assault report was filed (and arrests made) even fair or legal?

I just ask this out of curiousity but.. Say you go to jail and are bonded out by a bail bondsman for 10%. If you miss court you will have a warrant and police and bounty hunters will try to find you and the person who bailed you out is liable for the other 90%. If they pay that other 90% will bounty hunters still try to find you or will they no longer care since they got there money so only police would try to find you? wish that makes sense... thanks!

Resolved Question: Why are illegals attacking our children 11 year old girl was attacked is it time to start deporting illegals?

Two Silver Spring men are being held on a $1 million bond Thursday after being arrested on charges that they raped an 11-year-old girl who, shortly after leaving the scene of the crime, helped police arrest the two men by identifying items she saw in their residence, police say. Melquicide H. Sorto, 31, and Marcos R. Torres-Enriquez, 20, both of the 8700 block of Carroll Avenue in Silver Spring, were arrested Tuesday night by Montgomery County Police and charged with second-degree rape. Montgomery County District Court Judge William Simmons set the bond for both men at $1 million Thursday. They will continue to be held at the Montgomery County Detention middle. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement have placed a detainer on both men, because it is suspected they are illegal immigrants, said a spokeswoman for ICE, a federal agency. Once the suspects have completed their legal and criminal processes, they will be handed over to ICE and could possibly be deported. Police allege the two men first approached the girl, who is from the Quebec Terrace neighborhood of Silver Spring, at a gas station close Piney Branch Road and Carroll Avenue Tuesday afternoon, according to a statement of charges filed in District Court in Rockville. The men spoke to the victim in Spanish, which she did not understand, and she then walked to her nearby home, according to the statement. At around 8 p.m. that evening, the victim went to a park in the 1000 block of Quebec Terrace in Silver Spring by herself and saw the suspects again, charging documents state. They again spoke to the victim, and she again walked away, but this time the men grabbed her arm and took her to their home nearby, where they allegedly raped her, charging documents state. After the assault, the men allowed the girl to leave their home, according to charging documents. As the girl walked home, she saw her mom, who had been out looking for her, and the girl told her mom that she had been raped, charging documents state. The mom then called police. When police responded at around 8:37 p.m. Tuesday, the victim pointed out the residence where she was allegedly raped and described the inside of the residence so police could better identify the suspects, according to charging documents. When officers entered the residence, they saw Sorto and Torres-Enriquez, as well as some of the items the girl described, charging documents said. The men were placed in custody and brought outside of their home so a police cruiser with the victim in the back seat could steer by, said Cpl. Dan Friz, a police spokesman. The girl identified the two men as the same men who allegedly raped her, Friz said. As part of law-enforcement techniques enacted in 2009 by Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) and Montgomery County Police Chief Thomas J. Manger, police notified federal immigration officials of the suspects because they were charged with a violent crime. Manger and Leggett's decision, a stricter stance than the county's previously hands-off approach to immigration enforcement, came partially in response to the shooting death of 14-year-old Tai Lam, who was killed by gang members Nov. 1, 2008, at a bus cease just blocks from Sorto and Torres-Enriquez's residence. Just months before he shot and killed Lam, the shooter, Hector Hernandez, was arrested on concealed-weapons charges and quickly released. http://www.gazette.net/stories/02252010/montnew162822_32567.php Will ice quickly release these guys or will Casa de Maryland make bail for them ?

Voting Question: What reasons can a county seize your property if you use it to bond smone out other than not show for court?

My husbands parents are thinking of putting up their property to receive my husband out of jail. His bond is $115000 and the value of the property might cover the bond amount. We have heard that our county will simply let him out on bond if we bring in a copy of value from local assessors office. Our concern is that we have also heard that the county is notorious for revoking and or amending the bond amount after the inmate is out on bail and then they seize the property anyway. Can any one tell me where to go to research this or if we went through a bondsman if they could protect the property by writing up the contract for the bond themselves?

Resolved Question: A question about bail bonds?

Okay I know now how dumb I am for co-signing for a bond. I used a bail bondsman that a close family member knew and didnt check him out. Anyway, my question is I am not listed as a co-signer through the court and the guy I signed for ran but the bail bondsman will not spend any money to find this guy!!!!!!!! I've given him every the information I know and I know he would be easy to find but I do not have the resources. This bail bondsman has basically told me "thats what I have a cosigner for" hinting to the fact he will sue me. He told me my information isnt any good because I havent given him phone numbers. This has been a nightmare. The first court date was granted a continuance. Any advice would be helpful. If you need more information ask in your answer please.

Resolved Question: Why do the banks buy treasury bonds with bailout money?

It seems very odd that the government bails out the banks then the banks lend the money back to the government by buying treasury bonds for interest! Some people are saying the banks are being bearish and don't want to invest in the failing economy so they buy treasury bonds, the only safe bet. However isn't the government then just paying the banks 4% on the treasury bonds they funded with the bailout? It seems like the government is paying the banks not to invest the money they bailed them out with! Is this true?

Resolved Question: Who's responsibility is it to fix up the paperwork when someone takes over an existing lease?

I've found myself in a bit of a pickle - I was originally planning to take over my housemates lease when he moved out and we had a verbal agreement that this would happen when I thought I had found someone to take over my housemates room. He has since moved out. I had contacted the landlord and we also had a verbal agreement that I would take over the lease and I had told her that I assumed I would need to fill out some nice of paperwork but she hasn't quite gotten back to me with it. The person who I had lined up to move in bailed on me at the last minute leaving me with an empty room and too much rent than I can afford. I have never seen the lease agreement. I have not signed anything. I have not even paid my bond because the landlord never filled in her part of the paperwork. I am wondering who's responsibility it actually is when someone takes over an existing lease to fix up the paperwork. Is it the previous tenant or the landlord, or was it mine? Who's responsibility is it to pay the rent money in this situation - legally and ethically? My exhousemate had given me 2 weeks notice that he would be leaving. I am in the Australian state of Tasmania

Voting Question: 4th amendment waiver as condition of bail?

As a condition to be allowed out of jail on bail/bond, before any conviction, often there is a 4th amendment waiver. This is the constitutional protection against unlawful search and seizure. Exactly how far does this go? Can your car,home, property, office at work,etc. every be searched at any time for no reason at every? Are your fourth amendment rights completely removed? Can government officials walk in your home every day just because they feel like it? Do they have to have any reasonable cause at every, or is it a "free-for-every" This is very specific to what are my rights below 4th amendment waiver. If someone still needs a warrant, or probable cause, how is this any different than normal?

Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his fellow partygoers. below no circumstances may two men share an umbrella. It is ok for a man to sob below the following circumstances: When a heroic dog dies to keep its master The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse After wrecking your boss' Ferrari One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into The Crying Game When your Date is using her teeth Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a pal out of jail within 12 hours. Acceptable excuse for not helping a pal move Your legs have been severed in a freak threshing accident 6. Acceptable excuse for not helping a pal of a pal move: You'd rather stay home and watch speed buggy reruns If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her. The minimum amount of time you have to wait for a guy who's running tardy is 5 minutes. Maximum waiting time: 6 minutes. For a girl, you have to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale. Bitching about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden. Gripe at will if the temperature is unsuitable. No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday gift for another man. (In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is strictly optional.) On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest. While your girlfriend must bond with your buddies' girlfriends within 30 minutes of meeting them, you are not required to make nice with her gal pals' significant idiots - low level sports bonding is every the law requires (sorry ladies, it's called a double standard because it's twice as true). Unless you have signed a lucrative endorsement contract, do not appear in public wearing more than one swoosh. When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing. It is permissible to quaff a fruity chick drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach....and it's delivered by a topless supermodel...and it's free. Unless you're in prison, never battle naked. Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed. If a man's zipper is down, that's his problem---you didn't look nothin'. Women who claim the "adore to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to pick a buffalo wing clean. You must offer heartfelt and public condolences over the death of a girlfriend's cat, even if it was you who secretly set it on flame and threw it into a ceiling fan. A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed lady must remain sober enough to battle. Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both. That's just plain mean. If you complement a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer. Phrases that may not be uttered to another man while lifting weights: Yeah, Baby, Push it! C'mon, give me one more! Harder! Another set and we can hit the showers! Nice Ass, Are you a Sagittarius? Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: both waiting in line, etc. For every other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is every the conversation you need. You cannot rat out a coworker who shows up at work with a massive hangover. You may however, hide the aspirin, smear his seat with limburger cheese, turn the brightness dial every the way down so he thinks his monitor is broken, and have him paged over the loudspeaker every seven minutes.
