It's "Always" relevant to the "Collection" of the judgment,and that,buddy,is what counts. Anybody can file a lawsuit,it's being able to collect on that judgment that even makes it worth the time and money involved in doing so. Hey,you are right about one thing.My expertise is in Criminal Law,not...

I always appreciate constructive criticism,but when giving out,be sure you look up the meaning of legal terms,that is exactly what it means,and furthermore,I was raising the point,that in suing someone civilly,it is the defendant's ability to pay that hinges on weather you should pursue a...

This is where you may be getting things mixed up.Originally,your sentence was 3 years probation,to pay fines,some community service,and to complete a drug rehab program,all of which you have done,and the charges against you would be "dismissed." What your confusing here,is "early release,"from...

Btw... Attention All Shoplifters: Santa Clause,will be sending out a lot of civil demand letters.Now to that let everybody say,"BAH HUMBUG."

Thank you,Mightymoose. Evidently,"ShrinkMaster,"failed to read my first response to his post in this thread.Typically,Shoplifting is punishable by up to 1 year in jail,but a first offender most always just get's a fine,and/or probation,but I think I explained quite thoroughly in that post,the...

Mightymoose.Now that where all betting here,I would say,your probably right.One things for sure,it's the government who's benefiting here,not the merchants.

It's not the fear of being sued,which would have to be done in order to collect anything.People in this situation biggest fear is being criminally prosecuted,and unless you can show me Statistics,I'd being willing to bet,that percentage is in the single digits. Also,if "suit" were to follow the...

yes,but you have been proven wrong repeatedly both here and other threads on this issue about the effect the law has on these Offenders,with regards to what they are "legally" required to do,which is ignore it,and do nothing. Furthermore,as people continue to become more informed,that there's...

Well,if I didn't know any better,I would think you were talking about children,engaging in this immature behavior. As others have pointed out though,your Father, can saves himself the trouble of being confronted with this co-worker and ex-employer,and go to the other Laundromat,or face another...

Now is that the best you can do,repost your former post with nothing added.

I know as a Retail Consultant,you think you are doing good by trying to advance the cause of state laws that permit Retailers to "legally extort" money out of a scared,ignorant public who think they have no choice but to "payup,"or face a criminal prosecution for their theft. But what you,as do...

Be that,as it may,you can't justify what you did in this situation.The guy at the store was acting like a real A-Hole,and disrespectful to a female customer.Your response should have been to call the police,and let them handle it. You had options,such as getting his tag number when he left the...

No,Sir,you should not hope for anything,and you shouldn't want to return to this Country either. As far as your "intent," when you fired the gun at the guy who was fleeing from the store,whether it was to frighten or actually maim or kill him,it is still "Aggravated Assault,"because that offence...

This is a fairly minor offence,especially,if it's your first time,and the facts you presented seem pretty straight forward.If you think it's wise to play "hard ball,"and plead not guilty,you should know that it's your word up against the police,and it most always ends in their favor,so I would...

Yes they are too.She did indeed ask the much bigger question about "arrests,"in general,but you cannot 'rightly" say,she didn't want to know,if the guy in question had been arrested,since there was a dispute over that by his family.Really,you could be fair in assuming,the question was one and...

Btw...I think it's very important to note that "all" total arrests within the 50 states are made on Misdemeanors,not felonies,which do not require any indictment.

Well,that would be the "elaboration,"in your response to my earlier post,asking you to elaborate on your "NO" answer to the OP,and you should be able to see from all my other posts in this thread,that i was not "entirely," disagreeing with your answer,but felt like you should have expounded on...

I won't attempt to debate with you over the procedures your particular jurisdiction allows on arrest between misdemeanor and felony offences,and I'm well aware that each state is free to make it's own laws,and criminal procedures.Still,on this point,with regards to the very serious nature of...

No,my jurisdiction is pretty common to most,but there are minor differences from one state to another,when it comes to whether an "arrest," will be made,or citation givenand also,at the point when "charges are considered to be filed,and by who,officer or prosecutor. That charges are filled all...

No,that is what happens,"Period,"and you still did not "elaborate,"but merely just expanded your "NO" answer into sentences. Now,I'm not sure,but I assume your probably talking about an "indictment,"on an individual,that takes place before their arrest.If so,in a very few select cases that...
