It is also important to understand that on a civil standby the police or sheriff's officers will not decide what property is yours and what is his. If there is a dispute over any property, it will stay right where it is until a judge says otherwise or he agrees to let you take it.

There is no clear answer to your question. It depends on the nature and frequency of the violation, his reasons for the violation(s), and the policy and/or practice of the local court. And if the violation is sufficiently egregious, perhaps the police will act on it. Showing up late for...

If this is a CA court, there almost certainly will not be a prosecutor there. You can certainly voice your objection should the court want to continue the matter.

The officer will merely say what he saw you do. You will cross examine him, and then you can make your defense (if you have one). The judge will then render a decision. It's not a murder trial, and most traffic courts won't put up with internet attorneys dragging things out longer than they...

Actually, with the proper analysis, an excellent estimate of who was in the intersection first could be determined with some accuracy. Based solely on a diagram without measurements, I couldn't say with certainty. But, with measurements, it would be easy. Assuming that the diagram is roughly...

If one were to do a break down of time based upon speed, I imagine you will have been well into the roadway/intersection as he began his turn. Often it comes down to an evaluation of feet-per-second in such matters. But, in your state they may have a different set of guidelines than we do...

Given the placement of the vehicles, and the fact he had a stop sign, I would have to say that he had the obligation to yield as you had apparent control of the lane. From appearances, I would assign the fault to the other driver. An exception might be if you were speeding, and/or had started...

If he can make up the past due amount, he might be okay ... provided he can show how he will make the future payments. I doubt the court date will be cancelled, but they should inform the court of the update and the matter may be continued for a time just to hold his feet to the fire. They...

He had better find some way to make good on his debt or, as mentioned, he could find himself in the clink. If a warrant is issued, he will have trouble getting a job, obtaining government assistant (welfare, student loans, housing loans, etc.), and could fnd himself hooked up at a very...

Jeff can also find his driver's license suspended. That could put school and employment beyond reach.

If your father strikes you, and it's not a swat on the bottom or a smack across the mouth to discipline you, then speak to the police or CPS. If all he is doing is yelling at you because he feels you have an attitude, are not performing, etc., then that is not a crime, not something the...

My curiosity is piqued from the practical side ... how did he come to the attention of the cops unless he was already a registered sex offender? If he was not registered, how and why would the cops even have an interest in running his criminal history to see if he had any past offenses that...

Hence the reason I asked if he is required to register. If he is not required to register, he should be okay. If he IS required to register, then someone is having a disconnect moment.

Question: Are you required to register as a sex offender? And while the state police may have a different take, if the law as written prohibits people with your conviction from entering those places, the police can act on that and let the court sort it out later. All because they are the state...

I seriously doubt that spouting the law to a bar will change their mind as they can probably find some other reason to say they do not want your business. There could be any number of reasons why they turned you away, but if it was several places, i suspect that it had to do more with behavior...

From the NYS ABC's FAQ page: What is acceptable proof of age to purchase alcohol in New York State? A valid driver's license or non-driver identification card issued by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, the Federal Government, a State Government, Commonwealth, Possession or Territory of the...

Yes, you should be worried, but, not a lot. You DID get mighty lucky, however. Really? Okay ... here's what you do ... go to the police and make a report that the clerk STOLE your false (illegal) identification ... see where that gets you. Yes, they can take contraband. You got busted ...

Nope. It is still identity theft. You describe a number of felonies - one or more of which could be potential federal charges. Consult legal counsel ASAP.
