No! To answer your first question: Moving violations are for the most part misdemeanors and the only way that you will be arrested for such an offense is if you refuse to sign the citation or give the officer cause to believe that you are a flight risk and will not show up for arraignment...

Quasi-Contract! Unfortunately, since the bike was purchased and financed in your name, YOU are the one on the hook for the monthly payments until paid off and obviously any lapse or delay in payment will reflect on your credit accordingly. You will just have to continue making payments on...

Caveat empor! Jharris352: You’re of course quite correct about restriction(s) on land being invalidated if it (they) is deemed to be against Public Policy with the Salem case a prime case in point; and arguments that restrictions are either out of date or unnecessary are unfortunately not...

Property; Wills; Trusts These are restrictions and conditions (condition subsequent in your case) put in place by the original owner when conveying the property eons ago and the city or municipality have nothing to do with them. In Property Law, they are known as doctrines of "servitudes...

Audio Transcripts Available! You can actually listen to oral arguments of cases before 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on the Court’s own website going back to September of 2007: http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/?m_mode=view&m_sort_field=18&m_sort_field_by=&m_sort_type=DESC&m_page_size=10&m_p=1...

No sel-help remedies allowed! Well, the temptation to “educate” such persons must be overwhelming, but not the way to go in this situation; at least not yet, and, what your friend told concerning consideration and leases is not true. A bounced check neither invalidates a lease agreement and...

Jharris: I have not had the pleasure of conversing with you before, but just wanted to drop in quickly and say I was quite impressed with your well-measured, restrained, and (still) accommodating response to JV27403’s uncalled for ghetto comment. Respectfully, fredrikklaw

Best defense is a good offense! Mechanic’s Lien abuses are viewed very seriously and the contractor who files a lien with malice and without proper cause can be held liable to the property owner for damages resulting from impeding and clouding the property title. Binding Arbitration clauses...

No legal avenues. Nothing really! Under the circumstances, you have done all that could be done and was right to do and that is about it. To have any legal recourse in such matters there must be an injury of some sort like food poisoning and such; here you found the cigarette butt before...

Here's the guide! http://books.google.com/books?id=BPaUMeg6gEQC&pg=PR2&lpg=PR3&ots=-f7_BhKU8n&dq=process+to+recapture+of+chattels#v=onepage&q=process%20to%20recapture%20of%20chattels&f=false Recapture of Chattels is not a law or ordinance or some such! It is however, a civil cause of action...

Replevin. No; it is not theft and there is not much the police can do or willing to do! She was, for all intents and purposes, invited to come over to spend some time with the dogs and you gave her the key to the house willingly as well as permission to remain in the house alone. Also, the...

Gross Misdemeanor, Not Felony! Under Washington Penal Code, RCW 66.44.270 is classified as “Gross Misdemeanor” and not a felony, so do not panic on that point. As for an attorney; I’m sure you’ve heard the cliché’ before: “if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you by...

Yes, it does! Unfortunately, the answer is yes on both counts. Any drug conviction, other than one for (a one-time only) possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana (personal use), places a non-citizen alien in removal proceedings (deportation) and subject to immediate arrest and mandatory...

The short answer is, No! The bar to your ability to file suit against your sister is called “Standing” or “Standing to Sue” which you do not have. Standing is an individual’s ability and legal right to initiate a lawsuit based on his or her stake in the outcome and to prove standing you...

It's Federal! (I am presuming here that by "agent" you are referring to a police officer.) To merely air your grievance about a police officer, you can go directly to his prescient (station/division) and talk to his sergeant. To go a step further, download a Citizen’s Complaint form from the...

Well, you can’t have the case dropped because THERE IS NO CASE to drop as you found out when you appeared in court. That is because there was no complaint filed against you by the People; the city attorney’s office usually, and you weren’t even given the notice that says the People have up to...

A Bit More Info Please! Were the recovered G, the scale, and the baggies attributed to you or the passengers in your car? Who got cited and who got arrested and who was not cited or arrested and were the charges of the misdemeanor or felony variety? Do you have any priors? What was...

It is just a misdemeanor! You will be going to the “misdemeanor arraignment” court room on that date, and after you check in with the bailiff and before your name is called to go before the judge, you will be called to step outside to meet and confer with a public defender, so not to fret on...

Forty-eight states belong either to an agreement called the "Driver's License Compact" or the "Non-Resident Violator Compact." (The only states that don't belong to one or the other are Michigan and Wisconsin.) When you get a ticket in one of these states, the department of motor vehicles will...

Before the 30 days are up, go to the criminal court house’s (business) office first thing in the morning. The business office is where you are sent after you’ve seen the judge to pay your fine, make arrangements for payment of the fine, get the paperwork of your next court appointment, etc. Ask...
