because his probable cause was speed he never gave me ticket for speeding?does that make his other tickets against me n case illegal in court?
The officer does not have to charge you with the initial basis for the traffic stop. He can pull you over for speeding and then just cite you for marijuana in a motor vehicle.
Correct. But just paying the ticket is the same as a guilty plea and you will end up with a conviction.

They certainly can if she has not demanded a speedy trial. If she has made such a demand, there is an analysis that gets done about whether her right to a speedy trial is being violated and if so, what the remedy should be. One such remedy might be release from custody. Another such remedy could... Read more »
They can hold him until he appears in front of a judge to address his conditions of release.
I would suggest that you consult with an attorney directly the timing of everything going on here. Attorneys, including me, generally will provide a free consultation and they can look at the exact timing in order to best answer your question.

I was granted a stay of adjudication and completed probation I also fully paid my restitution I am currently 18 now an want to know if it would affect me now
I would contact the Minnesota Board of Bar Examiners. It may very depend on what the underlying offense was. There is a "Character and Fitness" portion of the bar application that you need to fill out. It will provide details on what questions are asked. I am sure that it is available online.
Does an issuing officers name have to be on a citation to make it legal? I did not get the officer's name and it is not in the 'name' block of the citation. The trooper's badge number is. Can a state trooper legally give a speeding citation on a county road? This occurred in... Read more »
An error on the ticket isn't going to be sufficient to get the citation dismissed. That error is something that can be cured an undoubtedly there is a police report or dash cam footage of the traffic stop that will reveal who the state trooper was. I would suggest that you engage a criminal... Read more »
And have their boyfriend come to the door To drop off a gift? Also are they allowed to try to contact you via 3rd party considering they are the ones who placed the order of protection on you?
An OFP is a one way street. The protected party is not prohibited from doing anything. They can call, text, send gifts, visit etc. None of that is a violation of the OFP. However, if the other party responds to contact initiated by the protected party, it is a crime. A first violation in 10... Read more »

My fiance is being charged with 1stDegree Possession from evidence found during an illegal search, however he is on parole. What are the odds of him beating this case?
Saying the search was illegal or unlawful is conclusory. You don’t provide enough information here to conclude that the search was impermissible. Folks on supervised release (aka parole) have a lower expectation of privacy and consequently fewer rights. He needs an attorney and to consult with... Read more »
You don't provide nearly enough information to answer this question intelligently. Is your case pending or were you convicted? If you were convicted, how long ago was that conviction? What was the legal issue addressed by the Supreme Court? Was it the U.S. Supreme Court or the Minnesota... Read more »
I thought I was suspended but it says on driver and vehicle services that I’m valid. Is that what law enforcement see’s if they check the status of my dL?
Law enforcement is going to see what shows on the DVS website. As far as I am aware it is the same database.
ID and person bag was stolen or found and staged the photo cops say they have photos of.. With drugs and ID
This question is confusing and difficult to answer intelligently. Most criminal defense attorneys, including me, offer free consultations. Call some directly to discuss the matter.
He stated that he passed me going the opposite direction about 2 miles back. So do I have to pay the ticket since he turned around and had to speed to catch up to me 2 miles later?
You have to address the issue. You cannot ignore it or the matter would go on your record. The ultimate question is whether you want to challenge the ticket or not. You can take a run at the prosecutor yourself or you can hire counsel to see whether you can negotiate a dismissal or a way to keep... Read more »
it happened in mn. a citation was sent out but there is no court date.
You need to get an attorney to represent you. Other than that, you don’t provide enough information to provide an intelligent answer. Theft is a serious offense and you want to avoid having a theft conviction of your record.
I bought a plane ticket to fly to her in October and my family is trying everything to stop me and my dad is saying that it could be a felony. Is that true?
The age of consent in Minnesota is 16. I don’t know what the age of consent is in Germany if you are visiting her. That is a question for a German attorney. Dating is not a crime, but there are plenty of potential issues - for example sexting would be a major issue.
Will I get cited for them being under the influence if it is not in my car i.e. he drank it beforehand
No, you will not get cited for DWI if you haven’t beeN drinking. You aren’t breaking the law.
Lawful execution legal process..how is this even possible?
Taking a friend to Walmart who had a warrant is not obstructing legal process so there must be more going on here. I’m assuming you are being accused of more than just driving your friend to Walmart. This is a serious charge. You need representation.
We didn't see any no trespassing signs and we weren't planning on causing any damage, so we went in to explore a piece of history. However, the cops showed up and we all received citations. Is there such thing as a trespassing citation and were we even breaking the law by exploring the... Read more »
Of course there is such such thing as a trespassing citation. Whether what you did qualifies as trespassing is a different question. Was the building locked? Was it posted? Did you refuse to leave after being asked to? There are a lot of other questions here that need answering. You should... Read more »
