Occurred in Whitestown, Indiana. Will put 2 points on driving record. The deferral will cost $80.50 more than the ticket. If no citations in a year, then the case will be dismissed. I am assuming dismissal will mean no record of speeding or the ticket and no points on driving record.

Your options are to pay the ticket and have a conviction and points on your record as well as the possibility of your insurance rates increasing. Take the deferral option, stay out of trouble and the case gets dismissed and the BMV will never know of the ticket. Though if you do get another... Read more »

You can look on in.gov and see if there are forms. However, it may be wiser to consult with a criminal defense attorney since expunging convictions can get complicated depending on the number of cases as well as depending on the level of the offense there are likely different timelines and...

By lower citation I am referring to something that I could ask the prosecutor to amend it to that would not carry points. I did renew my registration while the ticket was being issued.

Expired plates should not add any points to your record since it is not a moving violation. If you have already renewed your plates; I suggest contacting the prosecutor's office and provide them proof. The prosecutor may be willing to dismiss the case for you being in compliance.
After court what are the chances I will go to jail . The items were only worth thirty dollars total. I have no prior criminal record or anything not even a speeding ticket. I am 18 years old. Again the main point of the question is will I go to jail or not, not will this be on my record. Thanks.

You should contact a local criminal defense attorney to discuss the situation, most offer free consultations. An attorney should be able to help keep this off your record.
I saw her later that day and gave her my insurance information and told her I was intoxicated, she told the officer that I was intoxicated. When I when to the police station the next day to give my statement I told him I was intoxicated when I backed into her car, panicked and left the scene.
answered on Aug 26, 2022
Unless the police have more than your admission of being intoxicated, I do not see how you could be prosecuted for an OWI. However, you will very likely be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. From this point forward, you should not speak to your neighbor about the situation, nor the... Read more »
I received violation on the first can they violate me on the second as well even though I haven’t started serving second sentence
answered on Jul 27, 2022
Under Indiana law, yes you can violate probation or a sentence you have not yet begun to served by violating a consecutive sentence which you are currently serving. Contact your prior attorney or seek new representation to protect your interests.

Sounds like you should request a new public defender, though the court will be reluctant to appoint a new one. You could also hire your own attorney.

The State has 2 years to file charges if misdemeanor & 5 years for a felony, though I would expect charges would be filed in the next several months. You can go to mycase.in.gov and look up your name to see when charges have been filed.

If the suspension ended in 2014 then there should be no reason it would prevent you getting a license. However, there may be a reinstatement fee. Also, there could be other reasons preventing you from getting a valid license. If you do not have a myBMV account, set one up and look at your... Read more »

You would be responsible to pay the ticket since you were the one who committed the infraction. However, the company would have to send proof to the BMV on your behalf to show the vehicle was insured. If you pay the ticket, it will put points on your record and could cause your own insurance...

It depends on the person's status with the BMV. IF they are suspended-infraction, then they will continue to get tickets and not criminally charged. Though, if they plead to one of the DWS tickets, the status will change to DWS-prior and the person could be arrested and criminally charged.

If your children were not in vehicle with you, then DCS should not be involved.
This has been happening for years and no one in the community will do anything about it. Not DCS, not the police, not the school... the boy has obvious mental problems and is seriously violent and sexually aggressive. How is this ok for everyone to ignore this problem??

Consider calling the State Police or the Attorney General's office
I can't find work because employers pull up the charge on a background check even though it was dismissed. Even with dismissal, the charge still looks ugly to potential employers and now I'm suffering financially.
answered on Apr 27, 2022
In Indiana an employer can choose to not hire or to fire for any reason as long as it is not for a constitutionally protected reason. Your situation does not fit a constitutionally protected class. However, if the case was dismissed you should consider an expungement. This will seal the case and... Read more »

If the facts support a charge based on constructive possession, then yes you can still be charged/convicted with the same drugs as someone else.

Yes; their status as a prosecutor does not give immunity to murder charges and there is no statute of limitations on when charges for murder can be filed.
