Do i have any rightsI am now a convicted felon for a crime i didnt do with my jail time served and 3 yrs probation and alot of legal fees

I would suggest contacting competent counsel. You may eligible to file for post-conviction relief if you are on parole/probation or file a Writ of Error Coram Nobis, which is similar. You are not going to be the only one with this issue. I expect there will be numerous filings from others.
I believe I am the victim of extortion. My Cousin is demanding 150,000. What part of the Annapolis Police Department handles extortion?

If your cousin is seeking 150K in exchange for not disclosing an illegal act he/she believes you have committed, I would suggest contacting counsel before contacting the police. An experienced attorney can advise of your rights against self-incrimination as well as your rights as a victim.
The judge denied a motion to "suppress all evidence relating to a confession made before being Mirandized" but is on record granting the motion for the defense. It seems the judge was being sarcastic when granting it and actually intended to deny it. The defendant was later found guilty.... View More

You're going to have to provide more information. Also, if the Defendant is entitled to an appeal of the Court's ruling you may be on a tight time schedule.

Yes this statute is written in the conjunctive which means the conditions in "A" and "B" both need to be met in order for there to be a violation.

You're correct. Under this particular statute, it is illegal to use or possess essentially bullets, during the commission of a crime of violence. Example: If you had bullets in your possession during a robbery, but used a BB gun to commit the robbery, you could be charged under this... View More
I’ve had multiple issues, major issues. The car was as is but i did purchase a warranty. The dealership refuses to even talk to me. I asked for a CARFAX report and he says he gave me one but he didn’t. He refuses to give me one, i ended up buying one. What legal rights do i have?

You should seek counsel familiar with Maryland’s Lemon Law. It is tricky but I have found that once counsel gets involved, the buyer gets a response. Again there are certain procedural and timing requirements that competent counsel can assist you with.
I admitted to everything and they searched my car and confiscated evidence for the case. I was terrified because I owe many people money and I committed these terrible crimes. I have never been in legal trouble before. Will I have to pay fines and possibly jail time? I stole debit cards and items... View More

I too agree with my colleagues. Anytime you have admitted anything to the police you have given them an advantage making it all the more important to obtain competent counsel immediately.

You should speak with an attorney. The auto finance company may be having some internal issues that you do not know about. Additionally, because you're paying on a vehicle that is totaled, the finance company is causing you to incur economic damages which you may be able to recover.
