It could be an error. You should go to the Clerk's office and have them pull the file. The judge makes a handwritten decision and you can see it.

It is impossible for any of us to know the reason the police officer issued the citation. You can request a trial within 30 days of the ticket and go to court. If the police officer does not appear, you will be acquitted. If the police officer appears, you can have a trial.
Do not request a... Read more »

If you have been subpoenaed to court, you must appear, testify, and tell the truth. Otherwise, the judge can find you in contempt. It is possible the judge can delay the trial and have the police bring you to court to honor the subpoena.
Fault couldn’t be determined in the accident so it is my belief my car insurance will skyrocket.
answered on Oct 5, 2022
No, you cannot sue the police for failure to write a ticket. They have absolute discretion on whether to issue a citation. Regardless, issuing a citation does not determine fault. You can sue the other driver and your own insurance company if he is uninsured and if you win, your rates will not go... Read more »

I was told a traffic camera shows I did not stop at a red light. I have requested a court date however it has been over 2 years and a court date has not been set. Can I request the violation be dismissed due to the length of time for a court date? This is in Maryland, Prince Georges County

You can make a speedy trial argument, but you are supposed to demand the speedy trial for the clock to start ticking on your speedy trial rights. Having said that, there is no harm in making the argument. Any delays brought on by Covid will be excused.

My boyfriend has been in jail since March and his 8th amendment is being violated
answered on Sep 23, 2022
Your boyfriend should hire counsel or contact the Public Defender to see if anything can be done to procure his release such as filing for a writ of habeas corpus. You cannot file a lawsuit on his behalf. Only an attorney can file on behalf of another individual.

Once you are served with the criminal citation, this complies with any statute of limitations that may apply. There is no statute of limitations defense in your case if you were issued a criminal citation.
There is a speedy trial issue. You have a constitutional right to a speedy trial.... Read more »

It could affect your rates. Insurance companies usually ask if you have had any accidents in the last three years when you renew and they may have access to the information anyway when they go to renew.

Am I required to do so? I read a parental privilege rule, embodied in Sec 25, Rule 130 where no person may be compelled to testify against his children but since I wrote a statement I didn't know if the rule still applied.
answered on Sep 9, 2022
In Maryland, there is no privilege that prevents a parent from testifying against his or her child. You can be compelled to testify against him. The rule that you cite is not a Maryland rule.

It is unlikely you would be picked up on a bench warrant by going into a bank, but you never know. There are no guarantees.
Your best bet is to consult with an attorney to see if the warrant can be recalled. In some cases, an attorney can file a motion to quash a warrant.
