    Ticketed For Car In Another State With Same License Plate Number

    Understood, but if OP was no longer owner of that vehicle at the time of the violation then it could be another way to address the issue. It was described as wife's previous vehicle.

    Ticketed For Car In Another State With Same License Plate Number

    Was your wife even the owner of the vehicle at the time of the violation? If not. It is a wonder why this didn't go to the new owner.

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Potter Trial

    I think even that is a hard sell. The same level of resistance outside the vehicle would not call for deadly force. That Wright tried to flee in the vehicle did not make it a weapon, and he never produced one. He was trying to get away, not to attack the police. The passenger in the vehicle...

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Potter Trial

    I believe the new video was from the dashcam. It captured some of the aftermath that the bodycam did not.

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Potter Trial

    That will ultimately depend in whether the jury believes Potter was reckless/negligent. She drew the firearm from a different holster that is operated differently than the taser. The taser is typically worn in a cross draw manner to prevent drawing the wrong weapon. Potter also never activated...

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Potter Trial

    Agreed. There use of a taser in the Duante Wright scenario was very justifiable. However, the taser was not likely to be effective given Wright's position and the close proximity to him. Had it been deployed, the darts would have been very close together on the left side of his body and not...

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Potter Trial

    Policy regarding the use of tasers surely varies by jurisdiction, but I have never known them to be used randomly. Standard training defines them as an intermediate use of force and highlights the potential for serious injuries or death. Tasers are used to overcome active resistance when lethal...

    After divorce is final, I will be receiving a refund check from the homeowners insurance company

    Given that the divorce is final and the matter was not specifically addressed, I would expect you are not obligated to share it. If he believes that you are then it is up to him to take action to obtain it. If he is already raising the issue it will likely be easiest for you to simply share...

    Can I be sent to collections in this way?

    They are allowed to bill you for any work that was actually performed. If they didn't do it then there is no reason you should pay for it.

    Is there any way to force the County to maintain a county public road or enforce ordinances?

    Have you considered attending your country Board of Supervisors meetings (or whatever they may call it there) and raising the issue for them to review?

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Potter Trial

    I was troubled even more after seeing the bodycam video. She is holding the gun for what, to me, seems like an eternity before she fires. I don't doubt that she did not intend to shoot and kill him, but I just don't understand how she did not recognize she had not drawn her taser. It reminds...

    Car Lease Purchase option

    You should start simply by informing them of your intent to purchase and see what happens. You may be worrying about a non-issue. If you have it, read through the contract and see what it has to say about the situation, if anything. I suspect they will be happy to sell the car to you.

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Potter Trial

    So the Potter trial began regarding the killing of Duante Wright. I am immediately puzzled by the defense as to whether they think they can really achieve a not guilty verdict or if the true goal is just to minimize the inevitable consequences. "I didn't know it was my gun" is such a hard claim...

    renegin on a financial agreement

    Charlie needs to recognize that this is in fact her debt. She does have good information that could be shown to prove the ex agreed to pay and to seek reimbursement, but pursuing him over it out of state is not going to be easy, or cheap. If Cherie does not pay her debts the collectors will...

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Manslaughter Charges for Dumb Kid's Parents

    All over California, but nowhere particular. I always prefer to be right here at home with my kitty on my lap :) Oh that lady is toast. She blew it. I don't buy her "mistake" at all. She panicked. As for the parents of the dumb kid, it appears that gun control advocates want to use legal acs...

    Speeding Ticket

    Assuming your speed was determined by radar, you were likely observed at 75 long before you ever saw the officer, and before you began to slow down for the turn. Many officers will actually write you up for a slower speed. If you were going 78 they might write down 75, or even 70, but they will...

    Homicide, Murder, Manslaughter Manslaughter Charges for Dumb Kid's Parents

    I am very curious how this new case in Michigan will pan out regarding the parents of the kid who shot up the school. My initial impression is that manslaughter charges against them are a long stretch. They aren't any more responsible than the school officials who observed his prior behavior...

    Civil dispute regarding a car and an ex

    I suspect the police only intended to tell you that there is no crime. The car is not stolen and you will have to use other means to recover it. I agree that if you know where the car is you should recover it immediately and put it where she can't hey to it. Immediately return any of her...
