| Number one, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO FAX/EMAIL A COPY OF YOUR PASSPORT/HEALTH DOCUMENTS, TO ANY PERSON/EMPLOYER WHATSOEVER!! In so doing, you jeapordize(?) your own privacy/identity, and possibly, homeland security. THIS IS AGAINST U.S. LAW! |
Honey, will you please back this statement up with just exactly what law says I can not e-mail a copy of my passport to someone? I do not believe it is true and I challenge you to defend it with facts, not just ALL CAPS and multiple !!!!!s.
And my own health documents? Come on! Can we marshal together just enough brain cells in the same place, at the same time to see what an absolutely ludicrous statement this is? Faxing my last pap smear result might jeopardize Homeland Security. Pleeeese. |
Sure I'll back it up. Anyone can get your health/passport records and use them to steal your identity. Does it take enough brain cells to understand this?
The law, in and of itself, is the law. What "exact law" I don't think you should know. That is, unless you feel you might be breaking it via another persons' crimes in your name.
It's judicial law. |

I agree that using someone else's personal identification for fraudulent purposes is against US law (and those of other countries).
However, I contend that simply providing that information is not illegal. Yes, it could be unwise‒the same way that giving personal information over the Internet isn't the best idea.
It seems that your negative experience here in Taiwan is inciting you to make claims of illegality for actions that would be better addressed with advice. I'm sure you don't want others to endure what you have, but perhaps your opinions would be taken more seriously if you toned it down a bit. |

Steve, my "negative experience here in Taiwan" was something I'd never mentioned. You'd brought it up. Why?
What 'is' negative, is the facts mentioned. Illegality exists for those being hired within/without, the U.S. I can make this quite apparent via other means, if you wish.
You're breaking both federal and state laws when you offer such documents that I'd mentioned. You are, therefore, breaking judicial law. I just want to make this clear. Some schools will be investigated, and in this regard, namely one, your name included.
"Negative experience" via positive judgment. Do you wish to see "negative experience?" |

wait..first it was "international law" then "judicial law" then "federal and state law" (what state, they have different laws you know) and now back to "judicial law"
I am pretty sure my state government doesn't have any jurisdiction in Taiwan...I can't wait to see a state trooper trying to talk his way past my chinese speaking building security so he can haul me back for faxing a copy of my chest x-ray
can we can some more warren links up in here? |

How about:
Hitchhiker: You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?
Ted: Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the excercise video.
Hitchhiker: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs.
Ted: Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going.
Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
Ted: I would go for the 7.
Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.
Ted: You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that?
Hitchhiker: If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from A to B.

Yes, I'd love to know about this illegality that "exists".

What laws?

But you still haven't explained how, or what exactly this "judicial law" is that you're talking about.
| StayingPower wrote: |

What would be the reasons for these investigations, and why would it matter what the names of the teachers are/were?

Facts are facts, and this is what the law depends on. If someone/school is causing you to allow your legal documentation to be exposed, they-and you-can be arrested.
It's common knowledge, and you know it. Now by what "judicial law" I'm "talking about" is this.
Number one: You've breached security, and that via U.S. citizens(a felony.) Number two: You've comprimised, or have been an accomplice, to criminal activity(a federal offense.) Number three: incrimminating evidence based upon your statements and those via employment in Taiwan, will be used against you. Number four: Judicial law reigns supreme over all of the above.
If Taiwan wishes to see this "illegality," they can find it in the nearest library verses the China's stance against legal sovereignty. |
