Find something that you are interested in college and do well. Good law schools need good marks, most of the time the undergraduate degree area of study is not as important. If you are interested in a particular subject area (sports, medicine, technology, politics) I am almost certain there is an... View More

Yes. Constructive possession. The police just to prove that it was your firearm and that you had control over it, or were able to exert control over it. Much easier if they found you in possession of the firearm, but not impossible to prove.... View More

Typically there is no requirement to report a crime to police or come forward as a witness, with some exceptions. Most civil servants and law enforcement employees are required to report, and most states have laws requiring people to report child abuse. That being said, if the person was a regular... View More
I have been charged for 2 misdemeanor's in Hawaii CPD3 and CPD4. I am an Australian citizen currently in Canada. I have a court date on 17/02. How will this affect my travels if a warrant is issued for my arrest or if I am convicted of the charges? If there is a warrant issued for my arrest... View More

Entirely depends on how the warrant is endorsed. I doubt, but could be wrong, that a Judge would endorse a warrant to have a person returned to the jurisdiction for minor offences. The CBSA would likely be able to tell if you have outstanding charges in the USA, and would know if there was a... View More
At the moment, it isn't possible for refugees in Canada to get a travel document due to COVID (unless it is urgent), even though passport services are available for citizens. Doesn't this break article 28 and 3 which are respectively "provide travel documents for refugees" and... View More

The global pandemic is causing tremendous pressures and constraints on governmental services. They are still providing the required documents, albeit at a reduced number with additional criteria and prioritization. Doubt that it raises to a level of discrimination.
And how does that retailer get your address from their surveillance/ facial recognition software
answered on Aug 9, 2021
Short answer is yes. The issue is not so much the time nexus between the video and the crime, its the reliability of the evidence. Is the facial recognition software reliable? Does it make mistakes? What is the error rate? Is an expert going to testify about the reliability? How is the software... View More

It sounds like they might be trying to get as much as possible up front, perhaps even agreements from you, that they know they won't get at trial. Figure out what you are willing to do up front in hopes of having the charges dropped and don't let them push you past that point. Set it for... View More
I received obstruction

Absolutely. Always. Imagine if that was a defense for all criminal charges?
I was told by the officer he will be detained for 12 hours and then release

Very jurisdiction has its own rules/protocols on how to proceed with domestics violence allegations with reluctant victims. The prosecutor would want to be sure that you were not being threatened or pressured not to show up for court; and they will likely try and determine if they can make the... View More

Hire a criminal lawyer. You need to be carefully not to obstruct justice or make things worse for your partner.

Yup to both... we use Blacks Law... Judges use their discretion when applying principles gleaned from common law.
I have a friend that was sexually assaulted last in in august 2020, in Alberta Canada. She is trying to press charges current but it unsure of what to do or say. They were both under the age of 16 when it happened. It was in a public area and there is a textual confession from his including... View More
answered on Jul 30, 2021
Depends where it happened in Alberta, your friend could either call the local police service (i.e. if it happened in Calgary then the Calgary Police Service) OR your friend can call the RCMP at 403-678-5516. The RCMP would be the best first call.
The maximum sentence for sexual assault in... View More
The vehicle is in my name
answered on Jun 8, 2020
Call the police and report this. It's best that they hear it from you sooner rather than later. You are liable for road tolls, auto accidents, traffic and parking tickets.
answered on Jun 8, 2020
Sounds like they are putting pressure on you with the hopes that you cooperate with them. Call a local criminal lawyer to understand the liability you are facing. There is not enough information in your question to get any meaningful advice here.

No. You should direct the question to a lawyer that practices family law.
Imparticular messages from a company’s IR person. Im curious about sharing the information and parts of the conversation with ppl on a forum? im in florida

Are you bound by any confidentiality agreements? Is the information privileged? Trademarked? Security classified?
If its a private conversation between you and the sender then they might have some claim that you breached confidentiality. Not exactly certain what the information is.... View More
1st time he was arrested, I called the police to diffuse the situation and they ended up arresting him. I didn't show up for the court date and they dropped it. We got into another altercation, he left the house and then called the officers to do a welfare check on me, telling them that I was... View More

Every prosecutor's office has its own specific policies when it comes to handling cases such as this.
You only need to attend court IF you are subpoenaed. Without being served a subpoena there is no legal requirement for you to attend. It's, in my opinion, bad form on the... View More
answered on Dec 10, 2019
The short answer is yes. Usually, its a parent, sibling or partner that was assaulted and later presents themselves as a surety or just wants to resume contact. What you need to check to see if there are any court orders prohibiting the offender from contact. Sometimes those are stand alone court... View More
