Expect enhanced criminal charges to be filed. Call an attorney ASAP, see what it will take to clear your license and discover if anything can be done before a warrant is issued. Good luck.
Boyfriend and I had an argument it became physical and my friend called police they made me write a statement and say I wanted to press charges... He sees judge in morning I want to recant but how do I do this?
Contact the District Attorney's office in the county where the case in question is pending and ask about filing an affidavit of non-prosecution. Clearing your warrant before you meet with the DA would be a good idea as well. Good luck.
I have a warrant they didn't take me as long as I made a statement and said I would press charges now I regret it and want my bf home he has court in the morning and they filed a 30 day no contact order what do I do?
You may make any statement you desire; what the State does in response to any such statement is another matter. You cannot force dismissal of criminal charges or removal of a protective order. Talking with an attorney would help. Good luck
Police can ask anyone anything they want anytime anywhere. What can be done with the information and whether it will be admissible as evidence in any court proceeding is another issue. Talk with your attorney.
More context is required about the statute you are referencing. State or Federal statute? Civil or Criminal Statute? Civil Code for the Statute?
Yes.
Paying the fine on the ticket finalized the matter and it is on your record permanently. It is virtually impossible to "remove" any conviction; the objective is to avoid anything from ever being reported. Next time, call an attorney BEFORE you pay anything or do anything with the court. Good luck
I was charged with a class b misdemeanor for theft >$100>=$750
Ask about pretrial diversion. Calling a lawyer first would greatly help. Good luck.
Generally the parent has responsibility and control up to 18 but does the fact that he is being put through the adult track change that and introduce the need for a POA as if he were an adult?
For criminal law purposes, a 17 year old is an adult. I doubt any government official will talk with you about your son's case unless you are a licensed attorney. I suggest you meet with your son's attorney of record. Good luck.
What happens to case, after arrest, the crime happened in a different jurisdiction than the investigating agency?
The criminal charges will be filed in the jurisdiction where the alleged offense occurred. The law enforcement agency that investigated the case is irrelevant.
can I get off of this ?
Errors on a citation will not automatically cause dismissal of a class c offense; you will have to review the actual complaint filed with the court. Calling an attorney may help. Good luck.
You can be arrested if a law enforcement official believes you are in illegal possession of a controlled substance. The substance in question will be analyzed by a crime laboratory, and if it is discovered the substance is legal, criminal charges will be dismissed. Talk with your attorney. Good... Read more »
I completed my probation in 2013 and in 2018, by Texas law, I am allowed my gun rights back.

If an officer from one jurisdiction observes a violation of the law she/he can make an arrest even if the stop is made in another jurisdiction. Talk with your lawyer. Good luck.
An officer put me over and towed my car for no insurance, but the ticket shows she confirmed my insurance. What does that mean?
Did you have insurance on the car when you were stopped? If not, and the officer made a clerical error, then the citation was properly issued. If insurance was in force on the date and time in question, take proof of insurance to the court where the ticket is filed and request dismissal. Calling... Read more »

While I was there the police came in searching for a wanted fugitive that had been staying there. During the search for him they... Read more »
If you were at the location where and when the drugs were found, then the fact you were arrested is not surprising. It is similar to when police find drugs in a car and everyone who was in the car at the time is arrested. Drugs do not come with a title or certificate of ownership. The attitude... Read more »

Allowed my husband only to grab his things and each time adds 400 to the price in cash he wants for my stuff and he had me arrested without ever informing me of a bill or giving me the chance to pay but did the other room associated. Also was asked and told I would check out for the 4 days prior if... Read more »
I am not sure of your exact question, but if you believe you are not guilty of the offense you were arrested for, then enter a plea of not guilty, set your case for trial and force the State to prove any allegation against you beyond a reasonable doubt. Call your attorney. Good luck.
