The question, as worded, is difficult to understand. You are welcome to give a call to discuss. You should be able to get your dog back, unless there is some problem related to the dog.

Look at the case of Carton v. City of St. Petersburg. I believe that will provide you guidance. Google
Excecuted warrant, pictures taken. No charges, won't let me get a copy of affidavit

Search warrants are by definition signed by a judge, ex parte -- meaning with only the unchallenged claims of a police officer. The person targeted has no way to challenge whether a search warrant was really warranted until after it is executed by police. Normally, the legal challenge to a search... View More 
Hello,
I am asking on behalf of a relative who, due to a misunderstanding, was falsely charged with an altercation against law enforcement. I understand that the subject itself is touchy, but I am at a loss as to what they can do. To sum up the event:
My brother was at a bar with... View More

First, after a traumatic event, it's important to pause to regain as much of a clam demeanor as can be. It's difficult to avoid feeling defensive and emotional, but valuable to try view the situation as a problem or puzzle that needs to be solved. Assume that there is a solution. the... View More

There is no charge of cowardice. Under the circumstances the estate of the deceased may bring a civil action. They should check with the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union to ask on "police misconduct" cases who their "cooperating attorneys" are. Those attorneys give free... View More
Example: Could a police officer run for State Senate, win, and hold office while maintaining their position on the police force?

You do not have legal recourse in this situation. You will have to move or get new roommates.
"Hello, from what I heard, you want me to attend a religious-based tribunal. From the looks of it, you are putting me on trial to see if I should remain a member of your faith. To ensure this tribunal is fair & unbiased, I will bring in my own representation & eyewitnesses to the said... View More

Don't attend services at the facility of this "religion" (sounds like a cult), stop communicating with the "friend," move on with your life.

Please, for your own sake, do not post any more information about this case online. It only takes one search for the police to determine who you are and link anything you say online to your case. Valid or not, you will need an attorney to review the facts and defend you.

As a criminal defense lawyer, when I have a client accused of a crime and that accusation is supported by purported evidence obtained by law enforcement officers executing a search warrant, if police failed to comply with what the Judge authorized then I would normally make a motion to suppress...

I live in Minnesota and as I was 15 I was charged with a felony and was in adjudicated delinquent which from my understanding is the equivalent of the guilty verdict. My dream in life even before that was to become a police officer. And I've had very bad luck finding the answer online but if I... View More

The best way to get a good answer to those question would be to ask the right person with the P.O.S.T. Board (police licensing agency in Minnesota), and the appropriate military branch (probably with the J.A.G. office, not a recruiter, for example).
I do not know the answer to the specific... View More

More than one defense comes to mind based on this description. Evidence of the identity of whoever may have been seen driving a vehicle via a traffic cam, would seem to be lacking. The prosecution could also have witness problems, needing not only the State Patrol Officer but also whoever was the... View More

What do you mean "more bearing"? The prosecutor's burden of proof is the same regardless of who is standing trial.

1. You asked your attorney to file a civil complaint and there is no indication that your attorney could file a civil complaint in your case. In fact, based on the limited information you have provided your attorney would not be able to file a separate case.
2. You retained your attorney to... View More
I want to at least force them to take it down. I dont deserve to have my reputation as a person hurt like this and people I dont know now know who I am.

Did you have a warrant for your arrest? Were you arrested? Were you charged with a crime? If so, then you may be out of luck. However, if they simply used your image and humiliated you for no good reason, then you may have a case.

Generally speaking, a harassment restraining order does not, in and of itself, prohibit the possession of firearms. An order for protection might.
I recently got a ticket for driving on a cancelled license but I was parked at a gas station and the police were called there for another person but because that person came and sat in my car they searched my car and towed it I was not on drugs or drinking i simply was minding my own business

No, you do not have a Constitutional right to a driver's license.
there are no illegal actions alleged in this event on my part. the state patrol found it necessary to have car towed "without regard for the owners expense" as state patrol proper procedure states. car was in ditch locked and unattended.i did not have a phone to call for help after i hit...

First, try the state police--as to getting your stuff. Second if you have collision that should cover tow and storage. Third, if you can borrow the money then argue--at 35 a day before you know it it's over 1k. Better to have the car, then argue than have a gigantic bill and if you lose the... View More
Costs me $15k I have a spotless record. Case was dismissed, prosecutor stated in the dismissal letter no evidence or probable cause. Is this a good case?
