She had no right to throw your stuff out, she needed to put them in storage for thirty days.

It depends on the state's proofs, your gf's criminal history and the degree of the charge bc it could be disorderly persons offense or an indictable charge. If DP no record and proof are weak it may get dismissed. If indictable with horrible history and strong evidence then she may go to... View More 
Is there any way to expunge earlier just for a school or career background check? I'm due early termination from probation this year for possession of One Pill, but because I'm on probation, even though it's my first offense I cannot expunge for 6 years I believe. However I'd... View More

If it's for a misdemeanor then definitely yes but if it's for felony then you can file but you have to really convince the prosecutor and Judge after five years (which is where you are now) otherwise you'll need to wait 10 yrs from termination of probation if they still won't grant it.
My charge is for 1 pill in 2011. A non-jailable offense. I spent 6 months total in jail due to previous violations. The re sentence was on July 25, 2015 and it said " 5 years (tolled) beginning July 6th, 2013" Should my probation already have been terminated? Do I need an attorney?

tolled means that you don't get credit for two years bet 2013 and 2015. You can have an attorney to file motion to terminate probation.

You should inform the police department that it's what you intend to do to avoid misunderstandings. Assuming you're not known to them I can't imagine they will give you a hard time. However, if your neighbors complain for any reason then you'll have to go to the town about this.

It's much more involved than that but potentially yes the sender may be in much trouble but it also depends on the nature of the relationship and the actual age. If the underage person is 12 for example then there's no question.
Many thanks for your answers. I suspected it was at the very least exceptionally rare. For context I am researching a case where someone claims a Grand Jury was convened, evidence presented but no vote asked or taken. Unfortunately this was back in the 1970's and I have no idea if transcripts... View More

Unheard of to be frank. It's possible for it to end in a no bill but that's about it. Pros has so many cases they wouldn't waste their time unless they wanted an indictment.

You have to wait at least another five years to apply for expungement and if the court denies you the expungement in five years then you have to wait another five years before reapplying again but that time your expungement should be granted provided you don't have other felonies and no more...

File motion to suppress statement but courts generally admit statements when under the influence still it's your best option. The state still has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was voluntarily and knowingly waived so maybe to avoid the work for them they'll make you an offer... View More

The statute does not allow you to have tinted windows in the front but you're allowed in the back. It's just a small fine without collateral consequences so I never read it but they may have carved out exceptions for law enforcement. Your defense if they violate statute so can I... View More

It's in the theft family. I would call it theft under 2c:20-3 but if you look at 2c:20-1, et al and go down the line you'll find something that fits more than theft.

You're likelier to lose your license for the 3-40 charge than 2c:35-10b and without an attorney you could lose your license for both. An attorney can help you avoid a loss of license for both. This is a case where you will need an attorney to help you in light of the charges and exposure.

Yes but the court may use it as an adverse inference during trial. Still, there's no implied consent to perform SFST's as there is with the Alcotest.
Are there any laws or rights that protect the victims identity? The victim is afraid of being deported, but without her testimony the charges may be dropped. The attacker has already several victims but they are also afraid to speak up, and their experiences weren’t as traumatic.
