RCO in Hernando means Re-Commitment Order. This is typically filed by the State Attorney when a person who is out on bond commits a new offense, thus violating their bond conditions. RCO's if granted result in the bond being revoked on the original case and a No Bond status being instituted.... View More

If you admit to a crime you can be prosecuted for it unless the Statute of Limitations has run. The State will have to have evidence that a crime occurred before that admission would be admissible. You never want to see an innocent person prosecuted for something they didn't do, however your... View More

In most jurisdictions, no. One of the conditions of bond is that you not commit any new crimes. The new charge will violate the conditions of bond on the old case. The State or the Judge on their own motion can request a revocation of the bond on the first case. You are going to need to speak to an... View More

I agree that the video can be used in court as long as the person who took it can authenticate it as to time and place etc. so as to make it relevant. You have no expectation of privacy while walking around in public.

Difficult question, but it is my opinion that doing the "right thing" is typically the best way to go. I believe that bringing the item and receipt back to the store with the intent to pay for the item will negate any intent associated with theft. Depending on the store, you can call and... View More

I recommend you hire an attorney to represent you in the investigative phase. Although you have a constitutional right to refuse to speak to law enforcement, they many times take a refusal to talk as some indicia of guilt. If they are trying to contact you I usually recommend that a client call the... View More

I would recommend that you hire a local attorney where the charges originated from. They may be able to work something out with the State. FTA warrants can stay active forever so something needs to be done. Ignoring it is rarely the best strategy, especially if is making your life more difficult... View More

Two people are often charged with the "exact same charges on the exact same case." There are several legal ways for a law enforcement officer to do so including:

1. Co-defendant

2. Conspiracy

3. Principle

4. Accessory

to name a few. You really need... View More

The right to sue a person is typically known as "standing." If the person's actions did not harm you, that is usually a bar to bringing a suit. I do not see a way under these limited facts that you can be the one bringing the suit on behalf of your friend's alleged damages.

You are going to need to speak to an attorney in CO about those charges. Depending on what the charges are, there may be a way to take care of them or fight them without you having to go back. An attorney who is local to where the charges originated may be willing to take a look at them and tell... View More

Whether something was done on purpose or by accident can be a difficult thing to determine. Because of that, it can be the cause of a difference of opinion. You need to retain an attorney who can point out to the State the facts that seem to indicate that any contact with the officer was accidental... View More

Yes, criminal conspiracy or principal to the assault are some thing that come to mind off the top of my head.

Contact the local law enforcement agency and ask that they do a fraud investigation.

Criminal charges need to be addressed in the state where the alleged crime occurred. I would encourage to to find a good attorney and have them look into the case. Ignoring it will not make it go away. Living with a warrant hanging over your head is no way to live. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Reason for stop

Reason and validity of search

Prescription for pill?

These are all issues (among others) that an attorney can investigate in addition to any negotiations that can be undertaken if necessary and in her best interests.

I agree that you must be aware of any impact the payment of the ticket may have on your driving privilege in the state which issued your license. The ticket is of course payable in the county in the state where the offense took place.

Typically restitution is one of the most important conditions of probation. This of course depends on the type of charge and restitution amount involved. Some judges might be willing to convert restitution to a lien based on a Motion requesting the judge to do so. In my experience most judges will... View More

I agree with the prior answers especially if the prior expungement was as a adult.

I suggest contacting an attorney in Dade County to review the facts to see if there may be a Motion to Dismiss for Statute of Limitations. Absent that, there may be a chance that an attorney can negotiate a resolution to the case without a surrender to jail. That is likely to be difficult or... View More

Typically a Pre-Trial Hearing is a Judge's way of checking on the status or progress of a case. I say "typically" because every judge is different and it is very important to know your judge. For some judges it may be the last court date before the case is set for trial. This may... View More
