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

The defense attorney generally receives those records from the prosecutor. So the BCA sends them to the prosecutor and then the prosecutor sends them to the defense attorney.

The legal issues are not necessarily the same for all three brothers. The legal issues would specific to each brother's situation. The judge who threw out your brother's case only has the authority to decide the case that is in front of the judge.

That will be up to the other cities, but I tend to doubt that all the cities in Hennepin County will adopt the same policy.

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

You can certainly contact law enforcement about the destruction of your property. You should also contest the OFP. You also have a right to request an OFP against him. The process for that is fairly straight forward and the paperwork is available online and a courthouses.

No, you cannot be convicted of a felony without having appeared in Court unless things were handled remotely via Zoom hearings.

An OFP is typically a one way street unless there are mutual OFPs. He would be obligated to leave a location if you arrive, particularly if there is a 1,000 ft restriction.

It's probably a bad idea to do it if you are questioning it's legality. Perhaps the best thing to do is to avoid getting a lap dance where the dancer is "lightly grinding" on you.

I do not believe that it would be illegal absent some other physical activity that might come along with the moan.

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

No, there is no process whereby an OFP can be modified into a DANCO. You could certainly seek to have the terms and conditions of the OFP to be modified to make it more restrictive if the respondent has moved on your same street

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

"Dating" is not illegal. The actions that accompany "dating" - sex, sexting, etc. can be illegal. The sixteen year old is over the age of consent in Minnesota, but this is a terrible idea. Realistically, you have little or nothing in common with this child. Run away as fast as you can.

The charges are whatever are listed on the citation that you were provided. In Hennepin County, it would certainly be worth setting a date with a hearing officer or even a court date. Hennepin is pretty generous with speed reductions or even a Continuance for Dismissal assuming that your driving... View More

You can certainly contact the prosecuting attorney's office to explain that you wish to recant your statement. There may be consequences for doing do, including the possibility of falsely reporting a crime and there is no guarantee that the charges will be dismissed. In fact, I think that it... View More

A good start would be to get an attorney. Theft is a serious charge that can have long term consequences for you in terms of employment, housing, etc. An attorney will be prosecuting you and you need an attorney to fight for you and to protect your rights. You should apply for a public defender... View More

The search of you certainly could not be based upon a KOPS alert for your friend. They certainly could arrest him under the circumstances, but it is unclear why they searched you and what law enforcement found when they did. It is also unclear why they searched the vehicle. For example, they... View More

Can they watch what you are doing in public? Yes, that is not something that requires a warrant. They could not search your property without a warrant. They cannot put a tracking device on your car without a warrant. They cannot listen to your phone calls without a warrant. But surveillance... View More

Your best best may be to reach out directly to criminal defense attorneys. Fees are going to vary some, especially for somewhere outstate like Becker County. Attorneys that have offices towards the Cities are likely going to have to charge for windshield time, especially if there are in person... View More
