I said don’t talk to me, got in my car and left. There was no police contact. No one holding either party back. I said leave me alone and she went the other direction and I went home. (NYS)

When the protected party approaches the restrained party intentionally, that party should leave if possible. If the other person follows or persists in such or similar behavior, call the police and complain about it and call your attorney, as intervention may be in order to modify or rescind the...

He also was not there while they searched the premises and the search warrant was based of him selling drugs but not outside of her house
answered on Feb 14, 2023

He can challenge the warrant prior to... Read more »
I don't have a fire arm license, for example, if the police would have found Byrna SD pepper ball gun in my house can they charge me with anything?
answered on Feb 14, 2023
Charged with "anything" is pretty broad. That said, this device is not listed as a firearm in the Penal Law of NYS, nor does it seem capable of discharging a bullet without alteration, so does not appear to require a firearm license. You should review PL section 265.00 to satisfy... Read more »
I was doing him a favor but now I think he's either forged my name on the title because it was in the glove box. I think that's y He's ignoring my plea to get it back

If it is provable that you gave him the vehicle as a loan, with a designated date to return it, and he has not done so, then he may be charged with an A misdemeanor for unauthorized use.

Male arrested on 1/20, is still sitting in jail without official charges. Grand jury met on 2/2. No testimonials, evidence, or body cam footage has been shared with his public advocate yet.
answered on Feb 14, 2023
First, he can't be in jail without "official charges" because he was arrested and presumably arraigned, at which time the charges, in the form of complaint(s) or information(s), are read to the defendant and he entered a (not guilty) plea. He is apparently being held on no bail or... Read more »

It appears that there was a violation of some type of probation filed but which was dismissed later. Best to contact the probation department from which the complaint would have been filed, or the court clerk of the court dismissing the complaint.
My ex was supposed to give me half of an IRA as rewarded by the courts and I have joint custody of my son. He has not given me the money and is now refusing to let my son visit me.

On the visitation issue, you must petition in Family Court. On the division of property issue, you should go to Supreme Court, which may also handle the visitation issue if it desires and prior to your filing in Family Court. You probably need an attorney, so consult one.

I emailed a full version of a partial video the prosecutor already has in possession that is evidence to my case. I did this to ask her opinion on if it would help with my defense. She is now saying she is required to submit it as discovery even though I do not want to use it. is this true?
answered on Feb 14, 2023
I assume that you are a prosecution witness or the complainant. The prosecutor is required to disclose all relevant evidence to the defense, including your video, or she can be sanctioned.
