Yes, you can legally ask the school to refrain from asking your child personal questions about what goes on outside of school. Legally, however, school employees are not obligated to honor your request.
It was 8:00 pm. Officer gave me a written warning. All my tail lights are totally fine and are working.

The problem may be intermittent. Since you just got a warning and not a citation, legally there is nothing further for you to do. Just monitor the situation and, if it happens again, take your car to a mechanic.

We are joint owners of the car no "and/or" on the title. Just has her name and my name. She has had a gps tracker put on it, and whenever she thinks I am somewhere I shouldn't be, she will have the car towed. What can I do, if anything.
Thanks in andvance

We are still making payments on it, if that matters.

What is your question?
Unfortunately, you may get charged with the weapon. If your friend is not a felon, then they should help you by providing an affidavit that the shotgun is theirs. I hope this helps.
In any event, if you get charged, get a good lawyer.
