So you spoke to the public defender about this. You will understand, that we are not in a position here to give you better advice than your lawyer does. He knows the details of the case, we don't.
You probably can see where your story creates problems: You "bought" the bike from "someone"...
This is a potentially very dangerous situation.
Your "boyfriend" actually has already committed several crimes, making "terroristic threats" as it is called in New York, in other states it might be called differently, is one of them. You could file a police report on that and also file for...
It depends on the Pennsylvania law. Most classes of criminal aliens are inadmissible and would not be allowed to enter the country or receive a visa.
Theft is a crime of moral turpitude. The law makes one exception to the inadmissibility rule, that is if the alien has only one conviction...
I would not go for a covert camera, but on the contrary, very visible ones. Your main goal is not to secretly tape them but to make them stop. Once they see that everything they do will be recorded they might stop. So you want the cameras to be big and visible.
While you might have a case of harassment and nuisance, your first problem would be proof. Therefore the cop was right, the first thing I would do is install very conspicously some video cameras which will cover your property (just make sure they will not be able to say that you installed them...
Well, then it very probably is 140.10 of the Penal Code. The fence makes it a class B misdemeanor.
Now I would try to plea bargain this down to a violation so you can avoid a record. You should probably contact an attorney.
Does she have an insurance agent? Sometimes these people have a better connection to the bosses in a company than the people who work the 1-800 numbers.
What you got to understand is that "Freedom of Speech" first and foremost is a protection against the government. A private person or entity does not necessarily need to tolerate your viewpoints. Example:
You visit my home and start right away criticizing the color of my furniture. Then you...
Now, you may be a very very lucky guy that you were not arrested right away and are facing serious charges.
Let me tell you what I would charge you with if I were the prosecutor:
i would charge you with aggravated assault, which under PA law is a second degree felony and carries up to 10...
Are you sure you are quoting the correct statute section?
In New York it is actually not the Vehicle and Traffic Law, but the Penal Law where section 140 handles trespass. But there is no subsection 10A.
There is subsection 10 (Criminal trespass in the third degree) which makes trespass a...
Normally parents are not responsible for the torts their children commit. But they can be responsible themselves if they were unreasonable in a llack of supervising their kids or in negligently letting kids have access to dangerous instruments, like cars etc.
In addition, most states have...
It would be very unusual for a lawyer to represent you without you having him hired to do so. Are you sure you never signed anything? Are you sure this is about a potential claim of yours and not your sister's claim?
Do you seriously believe that an outstanding warrant looks better on a record than a conviction that was dealt with? Her status will be "fugitive", that does not really sound good on any application. :)
While the NYPD might not send all their ESU looking for her right away, her warrant would...
On its face, there is no law against it. It depends on the circumstances if it could be unlawful. The first thing to ask would be if you had any damage because of it.
Yikes, assuming it is true that she never stole or "took" any money and things happened the way you write it, Beth is right, she would have a case of defamation, of interference with contractual relations etc. etc. She should consult an attorney.
Beware of those services. It is very easy to apply for a visa, there is no need to waste money on it.
What is the intention of the person seeking a visa? If she wants to visit as a tourist, she needs to fill out a tourist visa (B-2) application which consists only of one page and then get an...
