Your constitutional rights may not directly apply to the process of removing the label of a canceled I.P.S. from your record, but there may be legal avenues you can pursue to achieve this goal.

If you believe that the label of a canceled I.P.S. on your record is unjust or incorrect, you may... Read more »

If the police obtained a search warrant specifically for stolen items and they found other items during the search, such as bullets and paraphernalia, it may be possible for them to charge you for those additional items if they believe they are illegal or violate any other laws. However, whether or... Read more »

I do not know the full circumstances of the situation and cannot answer your question specifically. Generally speaking, a warrant has to state with particularity the items to be searched and seized. The police must request a warrant signed by a neutral third party (i.e., judge or magistrate) unless... Read more »

The answers to those question will depend upon the facts and evidence in the case. The criminal defense lawyer should gather all of that, and then analyze it under the law. I can tell you that I have won cases based upon a police search going beyond the scope of the search warrant. But these... Read more »

This is going to be a very fact specific analysis that depends on a number of factors such as the language of the search warrant, the items that are being looked for, the relationship of the subject to the home owners, etc. This is way more than can be addressed through a Q & A forum online....

The basis of the stop, search and arrest certainly needs to be analyzed. Obviously, a victim's description of a gray car doesn't allow the police to stop and search every gray car in Minneapolis. Were you caught with the package or something else?

If you posted cash bail, the bail should be refunded to you absent the costs of any fines, court costs, etc. The only exception to this would be if you violated conditions of release or missed a court date during the pendency of your case. When that happens, bail can be revoked and in some cases... Read more »

If police break into a house with a Search Warrant, they are required to either leave a copy or give a copy to a person present. I am not aware of a requirement that they do so, *before* they come in and search. That could create security risks, and that is likely the reason. Normally they will,... Read more »

That would depend upon whether they had reason to believe that the fugitive named in the arrest warrant was in the home. The Minnesota arrest warrant would be based upon the out-of-state warrant.

There is "assault" and "battery." You could have an assault WITHOUT a battery, but the reverse doesn't apply. So even if there were no injuries, a person can commit an assault. Putting someone else in fear of their safety or possible injuries, or worse, when there is intent... Read more »

The use of the term lies implies that the judge intentionally said or wrote something that was untrue knowing that it was untrue. Making a finding that was inconsistent with the record presented in court would be error. But error is only significant if it is reversible error and you don’t... Read more »

Do you have a question you want an attorney to answer? It sounds like you need an attorney to fight your charges.

Yes. If the police have a warrant, they do not need to wait until you are home to conduct their search.

Of course they can. There is no obligation that law enforcement ignore evidence developed before the search incident to arrest. The probable cause basis for the arrest can differ from the probable cause to support a warrant application to get a search warrant for a blood draw. I am assuming that... Read more »

Your priority should be contesting the criminal charges. Then you can think about a lawsuit, but you should be aware it is often very difficult to successfully sue a government entity.

You don't provide enough information here to intelligently answer the question. What do you mean by "private clubs?"

There’s not really a question here but you should file an appeal if you believe that you were wrongfully convicted. I presume that the government had other evidence such as third party witnesses or out of court statements, but it’s impossible to weigh in on the conviction with the limited... Read more »

It sounds like you have a complex civil appellate matter. You should consult privately with an attorney who handles civil rights appeals. You can use the search function on this site and give a few a call.

Stimulation offered? I don’t know what that means.

It’s difficult to know in the abstract if running into your vehicle was justified or not. There are times where law enforcement will execute PIT maneuvers if the driver refuses to stop.

It also matters why the vehicle is... Read more »

It’s unclear what you are charged with or what the video is supposed to depict. You need to be represented if you are charged with a crime. Get an attorney.
