Okay. I agree with you, MM. Personally, I would have written it up for all allegations (including the animal at large one) and let the DA decide what - if any - he would charge.

From what I read, all that they can say for relative certainty is a shot was fired - not that it was fired at anyone in particular. What's the relevant PC section here? Absent a charge of PC 245 (which does not appear to be substantiated), or an ordinance in the county prohibiting the...

The DA will rarely act without a police report. While it's possible to go straight to the DA, they will probably defer to local law enforcement. And their word that your dog was running loose is as good as your word that they shot at you. All the defense needs is reasonable doubt, and without...

How do you know they actually shot AT you? You heard a gunshot and asked them if they shot at you and they replied that they did. I suspect that they did not repeat that statement to the police. As such, they fired a firearm in a country area likely where there is no specific ordinance...

Not much you can do prevent him from having to pay child support. Perhaps you should speak with a divorce attorney who might be able to tell you the advantages or disadvantages of a divorce and support for you and your current kids.

While cited as a misdemeanor, these are typically handled as infractions in traffic court.

There was nothing to dismiss if the case was never prosecuted. Though I suppose it is possible that the case was filed and then dropped ... MAYBE dismissed, if there was insufficient probable cause, but, I would think the OP would have used that term. :confused:

If this is to be tried as a misdemeanor subjecting you to the possibility of jail time, you will be eligible for appointed counsel if you lack the resources for your own hired attorney. However, it is more likely that this will tried as an infraction in traffic court. You should know where it...

And what have the police told you? You DID report the drugging and theft to the police, right? And, no, the "bouncer" doesn't have a duty to protect you from yourself. But, feel free to spend thousands of dollars on an attorney to try and prove they had liability.

Of course NOT talking to your PO can get you violated since standard conditions require cooperation with law enforcement. But, that's incident specific.

Yes, she can report a crime to the police. Yes, the police may well investigate. While I doubt that such an investigation absent any proof of a violation, only your PO can say whether such contact with the police would violate you. My guess would be, no.

COULD the police subpoena or seek a search warrant to obtain your medical records? Yes. Would they be an effective means of determining your BAC at the time of the collision? Maybe. Would these results be able to be challenged successfully by a decent defense attorney? Quite possibly...

You can report it to the police and see if they can determine if a crime was broken. If there is no further problem, it may be done and over, so even if nothing comes from a police report, it may be time to move on.

I strongly suspect that there is more to this story than simply leaving those children alone for 20 minutes. By the time the police would have gotten there and started talking to the kids mom would have been back and, at best, she might have been scolded and a referral sent to to CPS for...

That "trouble" may cost you far more than he might ever be liable to pay. But, an attorney might be able to identify a pattern of harassment that he can use as grounds for a suit. Keep in mind that lawsuits are about money - they cost money to try and get money, so, you'll have to interview...

You should consider speaking with an attorney. Tell him what you have and let him advise you if you have a case at all. I don't see anything that leaps out at me, but, maybe ... Keep in mind that it might cost you a lot of money to sue him, and without any tangible damages, it's likely not...

What was the value of the check? When did this occur? If LESS than $950 then it is generally one year ... if more, it'll likely be three. But, the details matter.

This may not even be headed to court. Most the time these matters are dealt with by the police telling both parties to leave the other alone or seek a restraining order. The elements of criminal threats per PC 422 can be pretty steep, so it's unlikely that he'll be charged or arrested with...

An arrest is based upon probable cause. Probable cause is a relatively low standard and can potentially be found through the allegations of one party. And, if that party insisted upon a private person's arrest at the time, then the police would be required to act on that desire. So, unless...
