Regarding the paperwork, i renewed my registration before attending the court.But still judge asked me to comeback
The offense is for what your registration was on that day pu were ticketed. It does not matter to the offense that you fixed it. However the fact that it is no longer expired or suspended can help your attorney get you a better results. I would suggest hiring a good attorney as the penalties even... Read more »
And asked me to go to court.Attended the court but the judge asked me to return for next court hearing.Any idea about this
Yes it's because it has a consequence of magnitude where on a first offense you looking at a six-month loss of license the second offense 6 months loss of license and up the five days in jail and a third offense 10 to 90 days in jail
Depends on your current charge, but most people fail out of drug court so you should speak with a lawyer to see if you have any defenses to your case.
A legal dictionary would probably give you the best answer
The officer was allegedly assaulting the defendant, which is why he left. Does that still mean he never stopped?
Actually a judge or jury would probably consider it worse because you knew you were supposed to remain stopped where is someone else may have thought the police were chasing someone else.
Not necessarily but I suggest you set up a consultation with a lawyer so he can properly evaluate your case
More information is needed to properly answer your question however it definitely sounds like eluding a police officer.
Also can the cop search my trunk which is considered a lock compartment without a warrant?
Yes smell is enough for a search but that doesn't mean you don't have other better defenses. Set up one of the free in office consultations that most of us criminal lawyers offer.
Someone stole a credit card and linked it to their Facebook messenger for Facebook payment then another person logged into their Facebook messenger and sent themselves money to their Facebook messenger
This is a crime go to the police.
Don't know about Connecticut but it's possible in New Jersey based on your prior record
We would need to know the offense you were charged with to properly answer your question.
The answer depends on the degree of your lewdness charge for there is a fourth degree or disorderly persons offense. Either way get a good lawyer to make sure you get the lowest possible sentence and stay out of jail.
I asked for the video and it only show me the police stopping me and does not show me and the stop sign.
Unfortunately that's the way most videos work they don't start until the officer turns on his lights which is generally after the violation has occurred. If they video to everything it would be almost impossible to store all the data at a reasonable cost

You need to call around and attorney cannot call you as that is called solicitation. That being said the best part of the case is probably the bed sores or non/mis diagnosis. Bed sores should never occur in a patient that cannot move themselves. Generally bed sores occur because of the following... Read more »

I never was stopped by anyone nor was I given a ticket. The letters are dated 1/6/2020 and mentions that the... Read more »
First it is a public record when you get a ticket. Second you don't need to be pulled over to get a ticket they can be mailed to you. Thus I suggest you call the court in the morning and see if they mailed you a ticket and if so hire one if us lawyer's.
You can always ask for anything, just like you can ask them for a new car, but they will not give you a lawyer, until you are charged and appear in court and then you only get a free lawyer if you cannot afford one, which is generally defined as making 125% or less of the poverty level. That is... Read more »
