They are almost certainly trying to verify your friend's story. Chances are a small marijuana transaction years ago has passed the statue of limitations and is hardly worth pursuing. But, no law requires you to speak to the investigators or admit to any criminal activity. It's your call.

How is this a LEGAL question???? Might I suggest a BMW auto forum ... or, a support site for whatever device(s) you are using.

Sentencing cannot be so arbitrarily guessed at. There are a host of variables that could come into play such as past convictions, value of stolen property, weight and nature of the controlled substances, etc. As SJ indicated, a rough guess would be that this defendant could spend many years in...

It really wouldn't matter if there is no law that requires unrelated minors of the opposite gender to be in the same room. The only regulation I know of is with regards to foster children where there IS such a requirement. But, unless the children are wards of the court, I am unaware of any...

That would be a rather empty bluff.

Start here: http://www.courts.ca.gov/1070.htm This link will give you the info you need to determine what kind of relief your conviction may be eligible for (if any). Depending on the offense, it might be easy to do ... or, it might be impossible. You can do this yourself in many instances...

I don't know of any state that has such a regulation. If that were the case, many large families in small homes or apartments might be in violation of such a law. I'd be curious to read such a code section if one exists somewhere. Like MM, I think this is - legally - a non-issue. If the...

The proper action for the grandparent would have been to contact the authorities fi there is something more going on. They may not yet be aware of that, but if the OP shows up with the police, they will be.

However, the reason for the flight won't remove the parents' ability to seize the child from the grandparents. Until child services or the police step in to take the child into protective custody and initiate court proceedings, the "why" will have little to no impact.

As suggested, go to their house and collect your child. If they refuse to release him, call the police. Your parents can be charged with a crime for encouraging the delinquency of a child. If, however, you kicked the child out of the house or in some way abused him, you might find yourself in...

And, of course, anyone who has aided the runaway child could still be charged even if SHE cannot be dragged back home against her will when she turns 18.

Okay ... well, you can disagree with him, you can call him a racist, you can nod and agree with him, you can do most anything you want. Ultimately, holding racist views is not unlawful even if it is ignorant and crude.

You almost certainly have an arrest warrant in CA. That being said, you will likely have to work with an attorney to arrange for an appearance and a new court date in CA to address the issue and see if it might be possible to either dispose of or transfer probation. I strongly suspect that...

We simply don't have enough details to offer an opinion as to whether the detention or the search were justified. If this is a domestic violence situation, it is not uncommon for victims to recant within 48 hours, and many will do so within minutes - and there are many reasons why they might...

Possession is not a matter of ownership but of dominion and control. If the person cited knew the alcohol was present and had access to it, she can be cited. Consumption is not required, either. She can plead not guilty for any reason she wishes. She can always make her argument to the...

You can pay to run a background check on anyone you want even without their permission. Yes, it's legal.

So, he got sentenced to serve jail time until 10/29? Apparently the judge agreed with that because that was the sentence. If you wish to challenge the violation and the sentence, you can help your son by hiring him an attorney to examine the issue.

Specifically? No. Did you have a warrant and someone dimed you off? Or, were you engaged in illegal activity and you are tryin gto find out who dimed you off to the cops?

He can STATE a great many things ... whether he can actually follow through on this threat within the law or agency policy is another thing. You can certainly bring this up to the agency's administration if you wish.

Payment of a civil demand does not prevent prosecution, assuming PA has no law that says otherwise. Now, if the OP paid for the items as part of the arrangement and NOT as part of the civil demand, then the issue has been settled civilly and they cannot then claim that the items purchased by...
