FLAWs (Free Legal Advice Wednesday's)

Just so you know. If your phone is password protected or pattern protected, the police cannot have you open it. If it's facial recognition or thumb print, they can make you open it.

When posting your videos to any sites where you can monetize (get paid from advertisers for views) your video (like YouTube), DO NOT use songs of popular artists or music you don't have permission to use. Although it seems to make sense to draw people in with familiar music, you will be in violation of their copyrights and guess who will get paid for your 100,000 views...NOT YOU!

To all my NY peeps that smoke ma*****na. Let me help you understand the new law that goes into effect today.
1. You DO NOT have permission to walk down the street smoking a doobie.
2. You MUST always carry ID (w/o ID, you will be arrested).
3. Any ma*****na in plain sight is grounds for an arrest. Plain sight includes smoking a joint in your car, buying ma*****na where a cop sees the substance change hands, etc.
4. If you are stopped and searched...DO NOT...I repeat...DO NOT empty your pockets. If you take ma*****na out of your pocket it triggers "plain sight" and you will be arrested.
5. If you are found to possess the 25 grams or less, a summons will be issued. You MUST appear in court. If you miss your court date, a bench warrant will be issued.
This new law does not legalize ma*****na in any way.

If you're serious about your business, you'll seek legal advice in the early stages! Check this out:
