It appears that the police officers initiated contact with you while you were in your car without a clear reason, and their actions may have violated your Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. The pat-down, also known as a frisk, should typically be based on reasonable... View More

That was probably at General Sessions Court initially. LEO swearing out AWs can easily ask Judge to amend it or issue more AWs. It becomes a more formal process when Grand Jury Indictments are returned. Any defenses need to be brought up at the Preliminary Hearing on the Warrants.

It is not legal for law enforcement to coerce or threaten someone to provide information or act as an informant in exchange for leniency in their own criminal case. This is a violation of the individual's rights and can lead to further legal consequences for the officer.

Domestic Assault is worse than some Felonies, and you should have known that 25 years ago prior to pleading. I assume that conviction is on your NCIC. You may wish to examine the legal weapons you can possess. There are muzzleloaders that can kill an elephant.

There is no counterclaim to a criminal charge. If the criminal charge was dismissed, you might have had a civil rights action for an illegal arrest. But from the facts given, it does not look like that was the case. You will need to hire an attorney.
