That will depend on the rules of the prison, but the process would be to call the prison and ask if a person would be able to use a foreign passport as a form of ID during an inmate visit.
a few weeks ago the cop told me that the kid denied hitting my car while it was parked and fleeing the scene but she handed over the case to the prosecutor but I just got off the phone with the prosecutor and he tells me that he can't press criminal charges because there was no evidence and...

Chances are she has a lot of other cases which are crimes as opposed to crashes. General attitude is "let the insurance companies fight it out."
So give the screen shots to the prosecutor.

This is a question for a criminal defense attorney, and I would seek a consultation with a one as soon as possible. But the prosecutor cannot have your children taken away if you refuse to testify. That can only be decided by a judge.
If there were signs of physical injury, the prosecutor... View More

That's going to depend on what identification documents the prison will accept. Call the prison where your boyfriend is being held and ask them what forms of ID would be accepted for visits. A foreign passport should be sufficient for them.

I was taken to the hospital and had a BAC of .36. A police officer came and talked to me when I was in the hospital and asked... View More

They do not have to use anything that you might have said. The facts speak for themselves, you had a bac of .36. That is quite dangerous. Why should you not get a criminal charge? You are obviously a danger to yourself. Now, should the criminal justice system step in and force you to get help?... View More

In the court file. Also, if it was criminal case, all police departments have access to a database which will show that information.

If you are a witness, probably. The spousal privilege usually only applies for things that occur during the marriage. This ocurred before marriage.
The spouse needs to get a private criminal defense attorney.
The FBI served a warrant for a search and seizure, there is no receipt of property seized at the time of this warrant? Isn't it law that this receipt be left at the site of execution or with the home owner? I have now been held for just short of 1 month by feds and feds haven't even... View More

You need to talk with your attorney about this, and only your attorney. You know, the one appointed to represent you. I didn't know that inmates have access to the internet to ask questions like this. You should know that this is not private, it is not confidential.
answered on Sep 4, 2015
That depends upon what the order says. You have not provided what we need to know.

Ask your attorney. It does not sound to me like the charges were dropped if you are on probation.
i want to know this for the state of Washington.

You gave no facts. We need to know the basic facts in order to answer a question, usually.

Self defense is a legal defense, but it depends upon the facts and you have given very little.
My fiance has been sitting in jail on an agents warrant for over 3 weeks. There are no plans of extradition at this time and he feels that he is being wrongfully imprisoned.

He needs to get a private criminal defense attorney and if he is indigent, the public defender can be appointed, probably.

The item in question was a "dirk" which I purchased from a store I worked at. I didn't know it was illegal to possess because it was offered for sale in my store.
