What do you do if a friend pulls dope out in your car?

Answer: Brake abruptly while jamming his head into the passenger side dashboard.

Better answer: Pull over and get your friend and the dope out of your car immediately - the only exception: the friend can stay, if the dope gets dumped immediately out of your car. Why? You can be arrested for "constructive possession" even if you are NOT the one holding the drugs. It is only required for your conviction of this crime, that the drugs be "within" your "reach and proximity," and that you had "knowledge" of the presence of the drugs, and "knowledge" of the "illicit" nature of the contraband, period.

It is NOT required for your conviction that you touched the drugs, or that you tried to use the drugs, or that you intended to use the drugs. Two things are also possible even for the person who does NOT do drugs: either your friend is working with the police in an undercover capacity (after an earlier arrest), and you are being inappropriately set up, or at a minimum, your drug-possessed friend is putting YOU at risk of arrest on a charge of constructive possession.

The air conditioning and plumbing in my apartment doesn't work well and is almost always broken, and my landlord refuses to fix it. I can't afford to move and pay for moving expenses, and first, last and security deposit, so what are my rights?

Answer: You can "withhold rent" (stay there and still hang onto your money!) if your "tenancy" (your rented place) is "uninhabitable," or in other words, if you are being "denied the quiet use and enjoyment thereof" - fancy legal words for, "you're not even getting the very basics for what you're paying, and yet the dirt bag landlord won't fix the problem!"
