    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Police brutality could I win any type of settlement?

    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...

    How can I get the compensation when the public defender isn't doing anything for me?

    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...

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft third degree theft of property

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

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft third degree theft of property

    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...

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI Can a suspended sentence be removed to join the Military?

    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...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Underage, rights

    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.

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Police brutality could I win any type of settlement?

    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...

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant searching my home after son was stopped in car for no sticker

    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. . .

    Alcohol & Drugs: DUI, DWI dui sentence

    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.

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Notice to appear in court for giving alcohol to person under 21-562.11

    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.

    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.

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Self Represantation Help

    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...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Self Represantation Help

    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...

    Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft What are the Penalties for Retail Theft?

    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...
