Were you cited or arrested for shoplifting or something else?

Is there a reason WHY you did not report this to the police? And was the discipline actually for the stated offense of "rape"? Or, was the term they used something else?

This is the section you were cited for: 21755. (a) The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right only under conditions permitting that movement in safety. In no event shall that movement be made by driving off the paved or main-traveled portion of the roadway...

These are most often charged as infractions and handled in Traffic Court. As an infraction, court appointed counsel will not be offered. However, if charged as an infraction (as they almost always are) no criminal history will be generated. However, a guilty verdict "shall" result in a one...

If she leaves where you are and she is impaired or you KNOW she has an open container of alcohol in the car, sure, you can call the police. This will not be a huge priority for them, so don't expect them to zip over and catch her. They may get lucky, they may not. Oh, and if you make this...

You will likely face increased insurance rates for a time, and will certainly face scrutiny by any potential law enforcement employer. Your speed and your actions behind the wheel will definitely be an issue as they evaluate your maturity and judgment for such a position.

In general, yes. The devil will be in the details of your situation. But, unless it was done for some insidious purpose, merely being cuffed in the back seat of a police car for a lengthy period is not going to be unlawful. You are free to complain to the officer's agency.

Being a burglar can be a dangerous proposition. Not only do you run the real risk of going to prison for many years, but, you also run the potential of being killed by a fearful resident or their faithful canine companion, Cujo. Grow up and learn to be responsible before you find yourself...

Agreed. If this situation makes you feel unsafe, then it's time to move. His comments may not rise to the level of a crime in your unnamed state. In fact, they probably would NOT rise to the level of a crime unless they were coupled with actions or the present ability to carry them out. Not...

How did you come to "borrow" the car? Who gave it to you? Were you loaned the car by the registered owner? Did you tell the police the name of the person who loaned you the car? Or, did some stranger walk up and inform you that you could just borrow the car?

Well, yeah! You're either darn near illiterate, or, quite juvenile to think that typing like a texting 7th grader is mature or intelligent. No, I "aint mad" [sic] ... truth be told, I'm ambivalent. Your question has been answered.

And the answer has been provided. So, cease your nearly illiterate text-speak griping and read! I'll repost my reply from above: The law is that the police can ASK you almost anything - including to empty your pockets. What they do if you object is the question. The police have every right...

Wow, that is tough to read. Are you trying to text this on a cell phone? The law is that the police can ASK you almost anything - including to empty your pockets. What they do if you object is the question. The police have every right to conduct a pat-down search (i.e. a Terry Frisk) for...

Short answer, "No." You do NOT generally "have to submit" to a search prior to an arrest. That's not to say that the police could not compel a search of some kind under certain circumstances. Perhaps you can provide some details to help put some context to that very broad question?

I'm curious ... what information do you believe is in those 97 pages that is relevant to whatever it is you are looking in to? If you are looking into the details of the financial arrangements between the library system and the collections agency, it appears you have that.
