Hi. How come you don't have a civil law/torts forum?

My first room-mate in college's Father was a police officer. When he was talking to us, he told us how with certain people he'd hit them with the handcuffs so hard it would cause major damage. He thought this was hilarious. (Then again, this was in Taylor, near Detroit.) It doesn't make...

I know these times are abysmal, but if your credit is good, perhaps go to a bank and ask for a "signature" loan. There may be other plans. If you can show the bank you are going to eventually be getting paid, they may give you a rather small sum on the loan. Otherwise, and I'm unclear of...

GD no edit feature. At arraignment everyone pleads not guilty, except a select few, mostly about trivial things like 'no dog license.'

Ak. No! Don't listen to Bail Bondsman about something like this. Huge conflict of interest. . . Not True! You are going to arraignment where everyone pleads guilty. In fact, if you were to plead guilty without an attorney, a good Judge will pretty much stop you from doing that! Most...

Jacksgal is wise.

Sorry to hear. Those BACs are barely at illegal, but I don't think it's relevant. . . . maybe the recruiter used a different term. A suspended sentence is normally given to you at sentencing. I.E. you will have 2 years probation with a suspended sentence of 30 days, you don't serve any of...

Duranie, How do you know it wasn't just self-defense?

Shoot. . . wish I could edit. How old are you? By underage, do you mean Minor in Possession? If you are under 18 laws may vary in regards to their need to talk with your parents or guardians first in certain circumstances.

No. Sorry.

I was going to ask you to post this in the civil law/torts forum, but I noticed this site doesn't have one. So, you posted it under the best topic. It sounds like the police wanted entrance into your building, as opposed to entrance into your apartment, is that true? And by building, that's...

Unfortunately, that's moot as he consented to the search. As far as searching your house goes, that does seem to be a bit overboard unless you consented to that as well. . . or unless the amount of POT was enough for distribution. . .

Sorry to hear that. In Michigan there is an enhancement if driving with a juvenile. There is now also an enhancement if your BAC is over .14 There is a DRAMATIC difference between 1st offense and 2nd offense.

No contest is just the same as guilty, except it gives you some benefit if there is ever a civil trial, which there won't be. It's one of the most over-rated things there is. So, plead not guilty.

Please call the ACLU. I'm curious as hell to what they might say. Good LUck to you!

YOU'RE IN CANADA? Heh heh. That probably renders any specific legal advice I'd have as somewhat useless, wheras some of the logic might be sound.

Oh, I forgot, what State are you in?

I'm confused why they didn't arrest you for drunk and disorderly conduct. They didn't breathalyze you or test you for drugs? Odd. How did you "assault" them? It definately seems like you can make an argument against the 3 charges against you. I'm curious as to what the police report says...

I've read both your posts. . . I'm curious about this "threatening death" thing. Could you please explain what happened with that one? In general I"m against citizen's arrest in the case of misdemeanors, they should only be done in the case of felonies (In my opinion). Not to say they...

It's not an honest transaction. . .Most people would know that the price increase was due to increased materials needed to make a larger shirt. Then multiply that if everyone else did it, hence the policy. I'm probably the most pro-defendant person who answers questions in this criminal law...
