Your attorney will ask all the pertinent questions. You should not try this on your own any more than you should remove your own appendix.

This is not a criminal law question. You need a family law specialist.

It depends on the policy of the department serving the warrant.
Can a Class A misdemeanor of simple assault on a peace officer be expunged?
Meaning if your Plea and Abeyance said 18 months can a judge dismiss your case and the charges after only 6 months if you have completed all other required terms?

No. It is a contract between you and the prosecution. The judge cannot amend that contract.

As you have been told before by me and other attorneys, you need to hire an attorney if you have been charged with a crime. You cannot represent yourself on this by asking questions online. All cases are very fact specific and there is no silver bullet to defend you. Please call an attorney.
Two yrs clean now they dropped a bag of crack in front of house they live downstairs and gave it to the cops saying it was mine what do I do?

If you have been charged with a crime, contact an attorney immediately. Your theory is wobbly. No matter what, I would think moving somewhere else may help as well.

As previously mentioned other cases from other courts is persuasive in use, but not controlling. This is not a silver bullet - more like buckshot. Check with your attorney.
I was recently raided with a search for fire arms and electronic devices. While they were searching some of the officers seen allegedly other stolen items. The officers then got another warrent after searching house. Is that legal?

Of course you can get charged. Proving it is another question. You need an attorney right now. You can't defend this on your own.

I don't understand your question. Miranda only applies to questioning after an arrest. Call a DUI defends specialist in the area where you were charged for a consultation.

Have you been charged with a crime? If so, please state the charges and where they were filed.
There is a case number and everything. What tools can I pursue in order to get more information about this?
