My ex hacked my phone and had my unemployment backpay sent to her bank
answered on May 6, 2021
I would call the police department and try to get in touch with the person you spoke with to see if the report has been forwarded to a detective for review. You could also call the unemployment office and they may have special investigators that would look into your case.

No seatbelt, suspended license (which was new to me), no insurance, no registration plates. The officer didn't handcuff me and im assuming it was because of my carseat. Am I just going to pay a fee? If so, how much?

If you have proof that you had a valid license and insurance you are not looking at any jail time. If anything was suspended or lapsed at the time you were pulled over you need to get it renewed before court. I would contact an experienced Attorney to help represent you and minimize your exposure.
I have tried contacting the sheriff department and arresting officer. I am told they will be in contact, but have never received a call or anything, after 6 times of speaking with the sheriff's department. What can I do to get back my property?

Contact the property room in your county. Take proof of the case dismissal to that office and they should release your property.

You can be charged with a misdemeanor and it can be amended up for certain reasons like if they find out it’s a fourth offense DUI or a third assault within five years etc. You would have to be indicted on any felonies before you are convicted.

If the police definitely know who he is then he needs to hire an attorney and have that attorney communicate with the police. The Attorney can access if he should get out his side of the story and it is less likely that he will be arrested if he hires an attorney.

Take a criminal complaint for harassing communications and harassment?

It would need to be provable and reported to the police or County Attorneys Office. They can pursue charges before the court date.
brakes were functional before service. The mechanic told me explicitly I did not need brake work. The brakes failed, I noticed a brake fluid leak, second party mechanic confirmed and documented that the brakes had been reassembled incorrectly causing the leak.
answered on Apr 24, 2021
This sounds more like a civil case where you could file an action against the mechanic, his garage or their insurance company if you can prove it was his fault. I don’t think there would be criminal charges unless you can prove this person directly tried to hurt you rather than just doing bad... View More
