Have you been charged with a crime? If so, you need to hire an attorney to assist you right away. The sooner you hire an attorney the better. If you have not been charged with a crime, there is not much you can do at this point.
The cop lied saying I tried to get back in my vehicle and that then he tased me. Really he walked me out in the field and beat the crap out of me and tased me out there. Four months later I get a warrant for drug possession, resisting, and obstruction. Grounds for dismissal?

I agree with Mr. Ooink. You need an experienced criminal defense lawyer to help you.
While many police officers don't lie, there are some who lie all the time. That being said, in most cases, this is a credibility contest at trial. One thing I've had a number of clients approach... View More
I've looked over my notes and textbook but have found nothing on the matter. Thank you!

That’s a tough one. It’s no surprise you weren’t able to find anything. Due process is a constitutional protection against the taking of one’s life, liberty, or property by the government without first applying certain legal measures. It’s hard to see the connection.

Roe v. Wade was a 1973 Supreme Court decision that established a woman’s legal right to have an abortion if they chose to do so.
My 6 month old daughter and I are allergic and need her to go to a good home.
I'm 19 and she moved without telling me that she was even planning to move. Some of my stuff is still with her in her new house and documents such as my birth certificate and citizenship papers are also with her.

I’m sorry. Your mother needs your permission to move?
Did you ask her for the items?
If she doesn’t want to give you your property, consider a writ of replevin
This relates to 14th Amendment rights. All state remedies for unlawful termination and breach-of-contract complaints have been exhausted.

You do not state whether you are a government employee. Due process is not required in private employment circumstances, but typically is with public employees. Similarly, employees in the private sector typically have no property interest in their job, whereas a public employee may. Your question... View More

Police have already investigated past reports. They go into the pile of dust or the pile that is transmitted to the state's attorney. It is unlikely.

U can generally be discharged at 18. But its not usually a good idea. The state will pay for college, vocational training, etc. Getting married is no magic answer. 18 year olds generally are not mature enough to make a good determination as to a mate.
My witness said nothing happened. Police officer got me with hit and run ,yet report from my statement and other drivers statement agree I was there till other driver left.

It can be supplemented. However, this is the responsibility of ur lawyer.

There is no specific Illinois law for "speedy" civil trials.
As one answerer noted, the establishment clause is a restriction on Congress - or at least it originally was. Today, the establishment clause is interpreted to restrict actions the executive branch can take as well (eg. Trumps Muslim Ban). How did this clause come to be interpreted this way?

It is certainly a challenge, particularly if it is a school funded by any state or local government. I would recommend consulting with an attorney individually for a consultation if you truly believe the school is liable to you for damages.
If my license has been suspended or revoked by the state of Illinois can I still invoke my right to travel? Taking in the fact that my driver's license is a quasi-contract anyway, on the basis that no one is told before signing the contract (driver's license) that you are giving up a... View More

Dream on. Do you think because you read something online that you are suddenly a lawyer? I think not.
Do u have a right to travel, yes. In any form except as a driver of a car. Walking on foot might be a good idea. Driving is a privilege, not a right. The state granted you the right.... View More

Did they have a search warrant for the phone? That is an important question. If someone has been charged with a crime, they need to get a private criminal defense attorney.
It\'s my understanding that the DEA and FDA decide what goes on the list of controlled substances. If the police, in a time of peace, can deprive someone of their liberty for something they themselves have determined is a crime and the only appeal as to whether that substance is on the list by...

It is the legislature that makes up the statute and enacts the laws, the police do not do this. You are wrong about that in my opinion. Did you know that there are bills in front of the US legislature on this subject, right now?
I am a salesman for a pest control agency. I was recently written a small citation for soliciting without a permit. Does watchtower bible vs. Village of Stratton protect me and would that likely hold if i were to go to court

I do not understand your question. A driver's license is a privilege, not a right. Go see a local attorney for a full discussion.
