To my knowledge there is no obligation to notify the owner before issuing the citation, but I would assume that you were ticketed for violating some local ordinance in Austin. I'd take a look at the specific ordinance and see that is addressed. But I would guess that the failure to contact... View More

The individual could certainly be charged with financial transaction card fraud. Contacting the person would not be necessary so long as they are able to identify the person.

The charges can be dismissed if the stop wasn't legal. But this isn't the Dukes of Hazzard where you cross the county line or get onto private property and the cop has to leave you alone. That issue isn't going to be a winner. There might be other issues that can be successfully... View More

The officer doesn't enter the citation into the Court system. That is done by court administration. This is unlikely to result in dismissal. The citation would simply get amended.

You should speak directly with an attorney about these issues. On first reading, it doesn't sound as if you would have any legal prohibition on owning or possessing a firearm, but you don't want to put yourself in a bad situation. A legal forum is no substitute for speaking directly... View More

I'm not sure about the level F, but the federal hold means that the the inmate is being held on some sort of federal matter - likely either an immigration issue or they are facing criminal charges in federal court.

You can certainly recant your statement, but that is not a silver bullet in terms of resulting in an automatic dismissal. You might also expose yourself to criminal liability for filing a false police report. I would recommend that you get legal representation prior to contacting law enforcement... View More

I'm not sure what a GSA performance security bond is. That is not a term that we use here in Minnesota. Once someone has been incarcerated, the trial court no longer has jurisdiction to set a bond, so I this isn't really going to be an option. That might be different if the person is... View More

You can certainly request that the DANCO be modified. But the judge would have ultimate decision of whether the DANCO is modified in the way that you are asking.

There aren't enough facts here to intelligently answer your question. You should contact an attorney directly. But this seems like an unusual situation in the abstract.

There isn't enough information in this question to intelligently answer your question. That would require a review of all the police reports and other evidence that was gathered in your case. But you are charged with a felony and you need an attorney. No ifs ands or buts. Hire your own... View More

You could be charged with driving the wrong down a wrong way street. Perhaps careless driving as well.

The violation will likely be dismissed if you can actually establish that you were in custody when you were supposed to be reporting. You cannot be violated if you were unable to comply with probation because you were incarcerated.

Violation of a Harassment Restraining Order is a crime and he will likely be charged if the evidence is sufficient to establish probable cause. You've done what you can. Continue reporting violations to law enforcement.

You need to ask this question in a Georgia forum instead of a Minnesota forum. Laws vary significantly from state to state.

That would arguably be ineffective assistance of counsel. But you should speak with an attorney directly about this issue to figure out next steps.

There isn't a question here. Call an attorney directly to have a discussion about what issues you are dealing with.

It depends on what you are doing. I agree with my colleague that being underage and high is a huge issue if you are driving, operating or physical control of a motor vehicle. Additionally, you get high from using some sort of substance that is illegal for you when you are a minor. Presumably,... View More

No. You are never asked, nor required , to sign a citation in Minnesota.

You are not required to sign the citation in Minnesota so that is neither here nor there. I would imagine that you are going to be mailed a copy of the citation so you should be looking for that in the mail.
