You need to follow your conditions of supervised release. If supervised release requires sobriety, you need to remain sober. If you have a prescription for medical marijuana, then you need to get your pot from a dispensary. I'm not sure why she is requiring you to do MRT, but you are likely... View More

Get a permit. You cannot legally transfer a loaded gun without a permit. You certainly could be charged with carrying in public without a permit and there is no guarantee that anyone is going to simply accept a claim that you acted in self-defense.

Yes, you need to stop and wait for light to change. The fact that the cross street is blocked off doesn't change the semaphore to a stop sign. Pedestrians and folks on bikes need to be able cross and ignoring the light doesn't give them a chance to do that.

You can just call and pay the fine. There is information online on how to take care of the ticket. You can just plug in the citation number at this website and you'll be good to go: https://webpay.courts.state.mn.us/CourtWebPay/Search.aspx?ID=100

This isn't something that is going to happen over a weekend. A human being will need update MNCIS which is the court information system. MCRO simply reflects what has been entered into MNCIS. Call first thing today to see what can be done to get this addressed.

The short answer is that it is on your record forever. I've seen folks with DWIs on their records going back to the 80's and even the 70s. DWIs can used to enhance future DWIs for 10 years. The likelihood that you could get a DWI expunged from your record before 10 years have expired... View More

You reach out directly to criminal defense attorneys and get one on board immediately. You are facing a potential murder charge here, along with possession of a ghost gun. It also raises the question if you are legally permitted to possess firearms which then creates a potential felon in... View More

I'm not sure what you have read or who you have had conversations with, but consolidating these cases is not a bad idea. It saves you additional court appearances and additional hassle. I also do not believe that it creates any bias against you because you are guilty of one case and not... View More

The repossession company has no obligation keep illegal items found in a repossessed vehicle private. They should and will likely turn over any illegal items found in the vehicle over to law enforcement. I would presume that the individual would then be charged with possession for those items...

There is nothing you can do for force the county attorney to charge out any particular offense. You can certainly voice your opinions on what you believe should occur in the case, but ultimately, the County Attorney has the ultimate authority of what, if anything, to charge out in this case.

I think that it is unlikely that you would be facing jail time for a first time GM drug possession case. The best thing that you can do for yourself to avoid having to serve jail would be to get a Chemical Use Assessment and start following the recommendations. That is something that you are...

Honestly, I'm not sure if you would be permitted to do so. But I would suggest that things that might be legal aren't necessarily smart to do. Law enforcement is going to be all over you if you are out wandering around open carrying an AR-15 or similar type long gun. Rightly or... View More

In Minnesota, the license revocation process is a separate civil process from the criminal charges. A license is revoked immediately upon a breath test over the legal limit or a blood/urine test that shows a prohibited substance on board. She can apply for a public defender to represent her in...

The exhibition driving is going to be a huge issue for your insurance. I would suggest doing what you can to negotiate that ticket down. It looks like you are in Hennepin County, so there is a far greater likelihood that they may be willing to agree to keep it off of her driving record assuming... View More

No, there is not going to be a way to attend the other hearings and keep them secret. First, the fact that he is charged in another state is already public information. Second, he is going to have to ask for time away from the ankle monitor to attend those out-of-state hearings, and the home... View More

There is no such thing as a petty theft. The theft charge is either a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor or felony. But no theft charges start out as a "petty" theft. I would tell you that a theft conviction is going to have long term consequences for you - especially for employment and... View More

Can a delinquency petition be filed? Yes. Is your child going to be adjudicated delinquent? That is impossible to predict with the information that is provided in this question. But the Court will certainly take into consideration any mental health issues and appropriate programming when... View More

That would be up to the judge, but you are going to be hard pressed to establish that the ticket was specifically issued in retaliation for your complaint about law enforcement. The case law on these issues is particularly bad regarding the individual motives of law enforcement where there is an... View More

Did you admit to the violation? Was there an agreement as to the sanction? If so, then you would simply receive the same disposition in front of a different judge. Otherwise, the case could be set in front a different judge for a formal probation violation. But I don't believe that this... View More

You don't indicate in your question what your relationship is to this individual. The legal issues surrounding asking them to leave - such as an eviction - are going to be different than the question of whether they are violating their supervised release conditions. I would advise you to... View More
