I live out of State and had no idea that I had a court date. I am a single mother with limited income. This has to be some type of fraud. How do I find out what it's about and get the warrants lifted without going to jail. I have never wrote a bad check. I have no clue what this would be about. I... Read more »
I’m not sure how he wouldn’t be charged if she was asleep. Someone who is asleep cannot consent.
As far as your situation is concerned, you’re somewhat stuck. You could turn yourself in on the warrant and apply for a public defender. Or you could attempt to get funds for a private... Read more »
I was charged as a juvenile. Reckless endangerment is normally a class c felony in ND, but being a juvenile, It was taken down to a misdemeanor. Will my juvenile record stop me from having a career in law enforcement?
It certainly could. I would pursue an expungement of the adjudication.
School bus has red lights on, is on the road that has a stopsign to the main road.
Yes. If the stop arm is extended and the lights are on.

No, they are separate orders. The OFP is entirely separate from the DANCO.

Yes, you will likely be held in contempt and a warrant will be issued for your arrest. You could be held in jail until you testify.
But I'm married and stay with my wife..
Yes. If you do you not qualify for a public defender, you will have to pay for your own counsel. Most attorneys will provide a free consultation. Reach out and see what fees look like, they may be more affordable than you think. Not having an attorney will not get you out from under the... Read more »
Ask for dismissal?
These errors are not going to get you out from under the citation. There is likely a police report and perhaps a dash cam/squad video of the traffic stop. Get an attorney if you wish to contest the ticket. An attorney might help you avoid or minimize the consequences for whatever happened here.
If the breath test report does not include the test subjects name or any of the identification information the report request to be completed by the officer filling in the data fields for the breath test operation and report... is it admissible in court? Report had no mention of who the test... Read more »
There should be other identifying information on the report such as the date and time the test was taken, where the test was taken, if not the name of the subject - then the DL # for the subject who provided the test. Additionally, many would have video surveillance of the area where the test was... Read more »

I would imagine your just facing a fine. The outcome depends on the county where it occurred.
I’m being charged w/disorderly conduct as a result of my fiancée calling/lying to police during a bad argument. He told the officer that I hit him during this, when I did no such thing. In my struggle to get away from him (I was pinned up against a wall) the most I did was yell loudly for my... Read more »
There is a chance to get the charged dismissed or keep it off of your record. The way to accomplish this is by hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney. An attorney can work to minimize or perhaps completely avoid any consequences for the allegations that have been made against you.
You are 21. You got pulled over right after leaving so alcohol was still in your mouth/saliva so you blew over. Once you get to the station you blow under. What happens? Do you still get a DUI or DWI?
The test at the station controls charging for the most part. You may ultimately not be charged with a DWI if you were below the legal limit on the Datamaster test. But there could be other offenses that might be applicable under the circumstances depending on the reasons that you were pulled over.
Not in the least. You need a drivers license to drive. Some types of travel, such as flying, will require a government issued ID.
I've spoken on the phone with him and he just keeps saying we need to talk and I've told him that have nothing to say to him without a lawyer how can I find out what this about without meeting the detective
Get attorney on board. Your attorney can help sort out what the issue is and why they’re looking to chat with you.
Case was dismissed because Defendant wanted a complaint. Case was re-opened same day as dismissed with same case number and clerk says it was never really dismissed. There is a Motion to Dismiss that was not officially "heard" will that have to be re-submitted?
You don’t indicate in this question what the basis was for the motion to dismiss. So it depends whether the motion is still applicable given the change in circumstances.
Stimulation offered to me i refused to agree to. Saw judge once and he said I needed to file some sort of claim or process but I cant remember what or which. What do I do to start legally regaining my property and sue the county for unneeded force by running into my parked and shut off truck... Read more »
Stimulation offered? I don’t know what that means.
It’s difficult to know in the abstract if running into your vehicle was justified or not. There are times where law enforcement will execute PIT maneuvers if the driver refuses to stop.
It also matters why the vehicle is... Read more »

You should not represent yourself on appeal. Get an attorney to represent you. The attorney will be in the best position to raise appellate issues.
A clerical error is not a basis to challenge the ticket, but there might be some other legal issues. Discuss the matter with an attorney.
Minnesota does not use a point system. But the ticket in California will count against you in MN.
I was never even notified about the bite. My ex had an ofp on me over false accusations. So why should I get this huge bill a year later and it's going to collections on me ? Not right is it? Should the dogs owner be responsible? Or my ex wife?
It makes sense if you are obligated to pay the medical bills as a result of a divorce or a custody agreement. But I don’t know why you wouldn’t have received the bill earlier. It’s obviously a different situation if there isn’t such an agreement.
Yes. It takes some time to get a court date. This delay wouldn’t be unusual at all.
