You could appeal your plea or file a rule 37 ineffective assistance of counsel or writ of error coram nobis. These are all very expensive remedies, I recommend Michael Kaiser in the Little Rock area for appeals and rule 37s.

I’m not saying you can’t, I’m just saying I’m not aware of a way to do it. This is not legal advice you need to... View More

What would be the best way to restore my God given rights to bear arms?
answered on Feb 11, 2022
Nothing took away your God given right to bear arms, not even a felony conviction. You may still carry a firearm, but you will be arrested and put in prison for an extended period for doing so.
To restore your legal right to bear arms in Arkansas, you will most likely need a Governor’s... View More

They have to have reasonable suspicion to ruin the dog or they have to have another person running the dog while they continue writing you a traffic ticket
answered on Jun 23, 2021
Not unless there believe you’re a witness to a crime or have reasonable suspicion to believe you have committed a crime.

Just tell them to drop all of the charges or you will sue them.
Just kidding.
Specifically, the felony charge of failure to keep records while maintaining a drug premises. I feel they're being abused and used as a way to give individual citizens multiple charges for the same simple possession offense

Probably not, but you could just plant trees covering your whole yard and I bet grass wouldn’t grow
answered on Jan 14, 2021
Yes but it will take five to six years from the date you were convicted. You could also try to get a pardon which would only take about two years.
