You have the right to represent yourself, but unless you comply with the local court rules, rules of civil procedure, and relevant statutes, you will quickly find the experience to be a frustrating one. It might cost you more in the long run not to have hired a good attorney at the outset.

This case would go to the Supreme Court. It is newsworthy. Civil rights violations. Statues ignored. Policies and procedures not followed. False documents presented to the court.

Q: In Case 001-3912, I signed a written waiver of counsel form mandated by Mo.Rev.Stat. Section 600.051. However, Case

001-3912 was dismissed by nolle prosequi. Could the form I'd signed in Case 001-3912 constitute compliance with Section 600.051 for my subsequent Case 011-2189 and relieve the trial court from obtaining a new form pertinent to the new case?

Each case is its own case. Each case requires going through the same steps over and over again. The fact that you are asking this question suggests that you might not want to sign the form this time.

I doubt that the court will rely on a waiver in a different case for this case. That...

It depends upon the facts, and you gave none. This is new technology which would be used for identification purposes, just as fingerprint analysis can be done. But you will not win stating just that it is against your beliefs. There would have to be probable cause for a stop, and that might be what... View More

Common sense goes a long way. Are you intentionally inviting the crime? Criminal mischief is the crime, probably. What big difference does it make if it is also a hate crime, which I do not believe it would fall under, without reading the specific statute.

It depends upon the facts, none of which you gave. Basically, a person convicted of a felony does not have the same rights.
