I totally understand your dilemma. I'm not sure about any statute of limitations on this as I believe the warrant being issued back in 1996 actually authorizes the state to keep the case open. Another words, when they issue a warrant, they are saying in so many words that are seeking prosecution...

You shouldn't really need any old case logs. You may be better served to call your local D.A.'s office and ask one of the D.A.'s assistants about your chances for an expungement based on your case because I don't know what you were charged with back then. As far as the first person to look...

Hi Ray. As far as I know you should definitely be able to have your record expunged so long as your felony crime wasn't a violent crime.

Unfortunately, Phoenix, it's not quite that easy. A lawyer must have his signatures on the papers to be signed. The 8 or so copies are then sent to all of the necessary agencies and about 3 weeks later, your record will be expunged. It sucks because you can actually download the papers from the...

I'm curious if they had the right to pull you over as well. Can anyone help with this question. Seems like the police had no right to pull them over if the law was, in fact, not in effect yet.

I'm interested in having these questions answered as well. Sounds interesting.

Unfortunately, this is what SUCKS about this messed up system. You actually plead these felony burglary charges down to misdemeanor trespassing and did your probation time. Well, guess what? Whatever they initially charge you with (and it's always the highest charge they can imagine because they...

The cop will definitely arrest you because it's an easy arrest for them and they are not really concerned with digging up the real truth about why you gave her money. They do not care truly care about the truth. In court it won't hold up because nobody will believe that you paid $2000 for a...

Anyone????

Anyone????

The sad, fact of the matter is that these sorry public defenders are too lazy to do the work for you and fight for your total freedom. They don't make any real money like a independent, private defense attorney with his own practice and he probably doesn't know the entire law off-hand and...

The cops and detectives will often lure you into saying something incriminating by being nice to you and acting like they're bonding with you as if they are impressed by the crime that was committed (not necessarily by you). A lawyer once told me that anything a cop ever wants you should make it...

This is one of the worst things about the legal system. Even though you weren't convicted of any law and the case was totally dismissed, the fact that you were "arressted" will stay on your record "until" you get the charge expunged. And that's no inexpensive chore (about $1000 to pay a useless...

I think most lawyers charge around $1000 per charge for expungement. Now, I am not sure about a misdemeanor expungement but I'd assume it's the same, being that the paperwork that the lawyer has to fill out is the same. You know it really is a laugh how much a lawyer will charge you just to sign...

Sounds like the troopers were taking a shot that you wouldn't fight back for your money and probably never thought you'd have all of your paper work and receipts to prove it was your money from legal means. Their mind set was probably, "what can we lose if we keep the money?". The fact is that...

I'm no expert as 2 patrons on this forum will tell you ("refusetostop and NYClex") but you might want to check if the "bar" you were attending was actually set up as a bar with the proper licenses and paperwork. If not, it sounds to ME as if the police may just look at it as a get together...

I had a question that has been on my mind for a while, maybe someone could answer. If a person was charged with a felony drug possession and the person knew was good friends with the District attorney that was to prosecute the case, hypothetically speaking, could the D.A. simply throw the charge...

This "refusetostop" member has to be some sort of low-level cop because he will invariably always take the police officer's side in the forum. He will also always try to make you feel stupid for something even though the state has the burden of proof. He states many inaccuracies as well. There...

I totally respect the opinion you gave but it is a fact that the officers only saw our resemblences while we were seated in the car with the lights off in a dark setting. The officer made the round around the club and we then exited the car. The officers did not see us exit the car at all which...
