Well, you do not have to carry ID. But, when you operate a motor vehicle you are required to carry that driver's license. If you do not drive the motor vehicle, you do not have to carry any ID. Understand, however, that not having any state-issued ID on you can make it difficult to get...

Charlsesc, you are just plain wrong and no amount of discussion will change your opinion. In CA possession of a false ID is a crime. Your state might be different.

Yes, an operator's license issued by the state is a functional state issued identification. Yes, you are correct that no ID is required to be carried unless operating a motor vehicle where it is required or performing some other act that requires some sort of government issued ID (such as...

Charles, read the specific code sections and related definitions. The code sections will also identify what the state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt for a conviction. And, if you operate a motor vehicle, yes, you are required to provide the license - a state issued identification. You...

Charles, it is a crime merely to possess the ID. You don't have to admit ownership. And your "definition" of identification is way off.

First, please do not necropost - this thread is more than a year and a half old. Second, it is well settled law that a driver's license is not a contract. If you have a question, please start your own thread. If you believe you have something to contribute that is not a plug for someone...

Most criminal offenses do not result in people going to jail - at least not for extended periods. And, you may be able to get your small claims case resolved before any criminal trial. Besides, if they are convicted, at least you might have court ordered restitution paid to you (assuming you...

This can be considered extortion in CA. Don't make the threat.

You have no say over a criminal prosecution. If the allegations are being pursued, then it will be up to the police and the DA as to whether charges will be pursued. If you are essentially saying, "Give me money or I will report your crimes to the police," be prepared to hire a criminal...

A record being "closed" is not the same as being expunged. Check with the court as to the status of your case. You can also have a records check done on yourself to determine what your state criminal offender record shows: http://www.ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/security.php If you need to expunge...

One thing many career criminals have is time. In jail many of them spend a great deal of time trying to figure out how to game the system and others. For some it is sending the same letter to numerous lovers or potential girlfriends telling them they are the only one for them and they are...

The truth about the law is that there is no legal requirement that the police take a report of an allegation of most crimes. If you feel a crime was committed (at least battery - a misdemeanor - for the push) then you can ask to speak to a supervisor at the department and see if they or someone...

What???? Have you been dipping into the medicinal whiskey tonight?

Well, crap, I got 50%!! I may be reading too much into the questions ... I kept finding myself asking questions to the ether I could not get answered. I wish there was a third response, "Maybe ... sometimes ... " :-)

If you could not recall where you put the sandwich, how were you going to come back in and buy it when you had gone to the ATM??? No crime was committed by the store owner. If you feel you were somehow damaged by the harangue, then you can pay an attorney, itemize your specific damages, and...

Even with a will, these issues will enter into some form of probate. My mother-in-law had an uncontested will, no debt, and a listed executor that no one opposed. Yet, the matter was still in probate for almost a year before there was any disbursement. As MM mentioned, speak to a probate...

Ditto. You had been told to pick it up off the back porch and you did. Absent her telling you to stay off the property, there is no serious trespass charge that could be made here. Plus, the police would not be all that interested in pursuing this even if she alleged she DID tell you to...

I'm just old ... I guess the "I want it now" generation included sex along with their immediate need for gratification in entertainment and communication. 'Tis a pity.

This is not a big deal. Very often, these offenses will be assigned to Traffic Court. Depending on the jurisdiction you are in, you may well find this being heard as an infraction and not as a misdemeanor. If heard as an infraction, it will effectively be little more than a traffic ticket and...

If you are never charged, you will not know. This is why everyone is telling you to just get on with your life unless you are arrested. In the future, perhaps you should consider the old fashioned concept of "dating." Yes, I know that it might seem archaic and old fashioned, but, doggone it...
