IF you can be jailed or fined, you need an attorney.

My boyfriend got arrested for some warrants and ended up having drugs in his pocket. They searched the lunge area in his vehicle which supposedly included my purse on the floor of the passenger side of his vehicle despite me telling them they could not because I wasant under arrest at this point....

I don't know what a 'lunge area' is. These suppression issues are highly fact specific. Contact a local criminal defense attorney for a detailed meeting in person.
Just that I feel bullied and coerced into saying that I am using meth when I'm not and I'm only using Ritalin as I've been told to which keeps pulling up false positives and I'm scared that they are going to try and throw me back in jail for it
Check with your attorney.

A prosecutor may, and often will, amend a citation to a different charge, even up to or during a trial.
I don't know what your question is, but I am assuming you are asking about the recalled tubes used for blood draws in DUI cases. Only certain agencies had the recalled tubes. Check with a DUI specialist in your area to confirm if your case is one of those.
A young friend of mine was sentanced to 25 years in prison at age 17 for stealing beer, the attorney assigned to his case did a poor job in defending him. Whilst in prison he was housed with a rival gang member, they got into a fight which resulted in the other inmates death. My friend is now... Read more »
The prosecution can seek the death penalty. If he has been charged with agg. murder, and has appointed counsel, they are Rule 8 certified and will look into that issue. Contact them. This constant posting of death penalty issues is not going to get you the answers you want. There are only about... Read more »

Maybe. This is a highly technical area of State and Federal appellate law. Sounds like the Troy Kell case.
The judge addressed the jury during deliberations in a death penalty case without the defendant or his attorney being present. No notes were made in the trial transcripts of the judge ever talking to the jury members. A jury member stated afterwards that her mind had been made up after the judge... Read more »
Not enough information. Contact the appellate attorney on the case.
This is for a second degree felony drug charge, I was offered a third degree felony and they would take off the DUI. i am shooting for a Class A misdemeanor with the DUI.

You need to check with your attorney. Sounds like a bad idea from here.
There has been physical altercation between the individual and one of the residents as well. Despite numerous times of being told to not come onto our property or into our home the individual has continued to do so. It is the boyfriend of one of our children. Neither are residents.
This is not a criminal law issue or question.
A person in another state buys a product from me he called me telling me it was damaged I asked him to take a photo and text it to me so I could help him with a replacement he refused then told me he wished he would have bought a cheaper one at Walmart and told me to send him a shipping label so he...

I went to a grocery store in 2013 and they accused me of stealing some pens but they just said to leave and to never come back which I didn't until today so can the company still file charges even though it's been so long?
It depends on the value of the pens. Most misdemeanor statutes of limitations are two years, and most felony statutes of limitations are four. It seem the easiest solution would be to not go back to that store......

Not enough information to answer. Set up a consultation with a local criminal defense attorney.

It was under his seat I didn't know it was there and because I owned the vehicle they charged me I had never seen it or touched it but they won't fingerprint it I even offered to pay for them to do it. Is there someway to get it done?
Have your attorney get an order for independent testing. They should know how. If you don't have an attorney - get one .
