I’m aware of the age and said that we can’t say anything and and she agreed. I’m just worried what will happen if something does get sent. Will it be ok as long as nothing sexual is sent?
answered on Dec 31, 2024
The best advice is refrain from texting or sexting until she turns 18. If you insist on seeing her, the record should be devoid of a sexual requests, pictures or innuendo, as well as any discussions regarding drugs and alcohol or any illegal activity.

Use the information you obtained on the hit and run driver to obtain ownership information on the car that hit you, then take that information to your local county attorney’s office and file a criminal complaint for leaving the scene of an accident.
General and the officer went back by there and. There was a cigarette pack containing meth and the surveillance cameras were rolled backed and it did not show me throwing anything so how can they charge me with it
answered on Dec 6, 2024
They only need probable cause to charge you, not video conclusive proof. It is a very low standard.

Persistence sometimes works. You may be able to research the driver by license plate number. If you have uninsured coverage you can let them handle that issue, as they will seek to recover what they paid from the driver at fault.

If the judge issued a warrant for a house outside the judges county and the case is dismissed, the county the house is located in can't pick up the case from that warrant. Have I understand that correctly?
answered on Nov 21, 2024
The judge can only issue a warrant for the county (ies) in which he/she sits. That being said, unless the first case is dismissed with prejudice, there is no prohibition on the second county pursuing the charges.
