You describe it as if you were there. Keep in mind that you were not there and you are getting info from your son and maybe a buddy or two. Also, the comment sounds like a flippant remark, not a threat. Unless this child brandished the bat and took a poke at your son or others, I doubt that...

I have been in many bathrooms in my time and I have never once seen a cell phone on the ground ... just sayin' ... even if it was a numbskull braindead move, it screams of a perv action. The only times I have heard of such a thing, it has involved "upskirts" shots. So, i can certainly...

Sooo ... the officer actually wrote in his report that he pulled you over for NO REASON. Or, he says he pulled you over because you were driving an older truck. If he did this, then you should be able to prevail easily and get the entire stop tossed. However, I strongly suspect that the...

NC appears to have a MINIMUM of 24 hours of jail time for a level 5 (minor) DWI. You cannot simply appeal a judge's sentence because you don't like it. You need legal grounds for an appeal. As a two time offender you can almost certainly expect more jail time and higher fines, and (hopefully)...

How did your car get to the middle of the freeway with a flat tire? Did YOU drive it there? Did a mystery driver operate it until there was a flat and then bail out of the car and flee? That is one of the exceptions to observed driving that is otherwise required for a DUI offense in CA...

I don't know that I would have Tasered him at that point (yet), but, I sure understand the desire to keep the matter under control. What IS IT about those guys?

I often wonder what I would do if one of those yo-yos stuck a camera in my face ... but, then I remember that I don't work at a courthouse so unless they came to the PD to try and make a point about something, my only worry would be running into one on the street. Of course, that can be scarier...

MM, you have much more patience with these yay-hoos than I do ... Too many years of playing on the Merry-go-round with their senseless logic I suppose. :)

FreeAtWill, all your rhetoric aside, your refusal to acknowledge or understand the law will not exempt you from it. It just will not. So, continue tilting at the windmill if you wish, but understand that these arguments fail every time. So, enjoy your academic exercise, but save your...

A "legal fiction" ... Uh ... you mean, like, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn? Or, are you refering to yourself? Then you understand incorrectly. You don't have to recognize the laws of the state you are in for them to apply to you, sorry. So, essentially you acted asinine to the court and the...

So ... the Family Court took your previous kids away, but awarded you custody of your new child BECAUSE of that previous case (where you lost the children)? I'm confused. Do you, or do you NOT have your most recent child? It sounds like they want to interview you. You do not have to go with...

Then there's the other trouble that might arise with an underage youth in a bar. Was he drinking? Did he show false ID? It seems an odd bit of homework ... I'm not sure what the purpose might be. If real, it's time to engage an attorney.

The answer to most of these questions can be found in the MOU and the personnel rules that govern your husband's employment with the agency and the agency in question. Yes, if you are on paid administrative leave it is common practice to specify the hours that you are to be restricted to a...

You had FOUR chances to take the classes, and you failed to do so. While I empathize with your situation, I also believe that the court has been overly generous and patient with you on this matter. As AJ suggested, you might consider speaking to some local attorneys as to your options...

Well, to be fair, PC 470b also requires that the state prove that there was intent to use the license to commit forgery (and, by extension, fraud). 470b. Every person who displays or causes or permits to be displayed or has in his or her possession any driver's license or identification...

Understand that if you are caught driving on a suspended license in CA, you can be arrested and/or your vehicle can be towed and stored for 30 days. To retrieve it you will end up having to pay at or about $3,000 in fees and associated costs before it is released. So, your call ...

Double jeopardy refers to being charged twice for the same crime. Your issue is that as a result of your legal situation you are facing administrative penalties as well. There is no constitutional prohibition against administrative penalties being applied on top of the criminal ones. So...

There is no practical way that they could rely on prosecution to obtain compensation in whole or part. First, the state could not afford to pursue all thieves. It's just not possible without a HUUUUGE increase in taxes to pay for such activity. Second, as you should know, the DA's offices in...

Municipal codes in CA are most often misdemeanors. These can be - and often are - filed as infractions and handled in traffic court. You should know better when you are arraigned (the court date on the citation).

Unless the police have tended to find something wrong when they have responded, they may eventually either address the situation or simply respond in a leisurely fashion. Eventually, the police will get tired of it, they will respond and chat with you politely for a couple of minutes, you'll...
