You cannot position yourself right behind the officer or the officer may feel you pose a danger. You cannot interfere with the stop or arrest. You can film it since you are in a public place. You should not be interacting with the driver or passengers. You must obey a lawful command of the police... View More

The "B" restriction is corrective lenses.

The "J" restriction is "Other" so you would need to contact the MVA to see the restriction in your case.

You must stop for a school bus even if it is going in the opposite direction unless there is a concrete median. It makes no difference that the bus in front of you did not stop. If a police officer gave you the ticket, request a trial within 30 days and go to court. It carries a large fine and... View More

Do the driver improvement program now and get your license reinstated. You should retain counsel to represent you since the offense carries possible jail time and the VOP also could lead to jail time. If you get your license reinstated, there is a good chance an attorney can keep you out of jail.

This was a proper charge. The law states that your license plate must be attached to the front and back (both). Since it was not attached to the front of the vehicle, it violated the statute.

You have the option of going to court by requesting a trial. The police officer may not show up or... View More

If you have been charged with a crime, you should retain counsel to represent you. If not, you need to remove it from your vehicle right away. You should seek legal advice about what to do with it.

These charges carry possible jail time. You should retain an attorney to represent you. Do not pay any of the tickets. An attorney should be able to keep you out of jail if you have no prior record.

So, you’re saying you were truly innocent, the officer’s laser/radar/Lidar device or speedometer on his cruiser was not working properly, and had he showed up you would have won? In that case, you can be upset. But if you were clocked on laser equipment the device number for the equipment used... View More

You can request a trial within the required time limit and go to court. You should also demand the presence of the parking attendant. If they fail to appear, the ticket should be dismissed. If they appear, show the judge proof that you renewed your tags before they expired and the judge may give... View More

I assume that this is a camera citation. If so, it is a $40.00 fine and no points are assessed so it may not be worth fighting it.

Under Maryland law, camera tickets can be issued Monday through Friday between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.... View More

You may want to repost your question to DC attorneys by listing the location as DC.

I wholeheartedly agree with my colleagues' previous responses. Having handled countless cases involving young adults using internet generated fake I.D.'s, it is not uncommon, provided a Defendant has no prior convictions or similar offenses in their history, to avoid formal prosecution....

If you do not comply with the work order, your registration can be suspended. You also could be stopped again. You should get the problem resolved.

You might need to hit the books better or retain someone who can. I recall reading something that limited parking on public roads to a time limit unless the road was adjacent to your home, but it might have been Montgomery County Code. The County and incorporated city codes are often unindexed and... View More

No, a minor cannot use a wireless communication device.

No, it is prohibited for a minor to use a wireless device while driving, whether bluetooth or any other form of access.

Seems a bit odd. Is there an evidence based reason for doing so? Did a witness or security camera footage identify the offender in part by their footwear or feet? Was this a DUI where you failed to perform field sobriety tests and there’s a potential issue that the type of footwear interfered... View More

If the car leaves and returns to the location and continues to block the sidewalk on each occasion, a note on the windshield might suffice. If the car has remained in place for some time, the better approach might be to call the police and report that the car is seemingly abandoned and/or, if... View More

This is a 1 point ticket unless there was an accident in which case it is a 3 point ticket. Your post indicates it was not an accident so it should be 1 point. Do not pay it. Request a trial (not a waiver hearing) and go to court. If the police officer does not appear, you will be acquitted. If the... View More

Not guilty does not necessarily mean you were not responsible. So this question cannot be answered without knowing all of the facts. But the not guilty does not necessarily release your potential liability
