“During the glory days of radio, it was illegal to mimic the voice of the US president.” Was there actually a law prohibiting that? Or was just a White House policy and not a legal issue.
Was it law or policy?

What you are referring to is the Policy of the Government. The 1st Amendment gives you the right to mimic anyone!
And when arrived cop sees no visible markings never question my mom and detaining me never told me why what happened or anything just walked up behind me told me stand up turn around put your hands behind your back inside the store
answered on Jun 24, 2022
The short answer is YES. I would not say that unless it were true. If the cop ID ed you, and there was an allegation by your sister, the cop had a job to do to at least talk to you. Detaining you was lawful for a very short period of time to inquire. The worst part is you do not know exactly what... Read more »
the district attorney filed the "bill of information" and made a plea negotiation. he made it look like he was giving me a break by letting me plead guilty for 20 years. twenty years was the maximum I could've gotten if I went to trial on the pending indictment.
answered on Jun 24, 2022
While it may seem strange, sometimes the DA will switch from the Indictment charge to a new charge on an Information. That is usually because the Judge could not legally give you the plea you wanted ( a good one I guess ), as part of the Indictment for a technical reason. So, the DA dropped the... Read more »
I was just wanting to know what could be the outcome of both situations. Since I was recently charged with filing a false report does that mean the charges against the other person will be dismissed?
answered on Jun 22, 2022
The prosecutor is not REQUIRED to drop the charges against the other person but it would be foolish not to drop them unless your retraction did not cover all of the criminal behavior alleged against the other person. For example, if your retraction statement said "he threatened to chop me up... Read more »
I rent a room from a lady whos son is troublesome. The police had a arrest warrant for him but he wasn't there and neither was I at the time. They were mad because no one answered the door so they took my dog off of his leash and took him.
answered on Jun 22, 2022
They took your dog and left or they simply moved your dog to a different location? To be honest, if they claimed to be afraid of the dog then they could probably get away with shooting your dog dead.
My husband was told he was going to receive a subpoena to witness in an up coming trial. They also told him they might not use him at all. I thought subpoenas had to have dates and times, etc. declaring when someone will have to testify. Please help me understand.

A regular subpoena is a court order to appear and be prepared to give honest testimony. A subpoena duces tecum is a court order to provide evidence (typically documents) and it may specify a deadline that is before whatever trial or court setting where the evidence might be used to give the...

Yes, it was a typo but it took almost 2 weeks of being posted for the public eyes. Everyone I know suddenly did NOT want to know me and ridiculed me because it made me appear to have done something unthinkable. It should have been $75,000.00. My reputation is destroyed even still today.

While publishing the wrong amount of your bond is not "illegal" it is terrible. Not much you can do now that they have corrected it. What is your charge?
The best way to fix your reputation is to beat your charges.
Good luck!
This motion contains some false information and makes me appear to look a lot worse than it truly is.

Yes, in fact both the Motion to Proceed with Adjudication and the capias warrant MUST be filed before the end of the community supervision period.
I have had an assigned lawyer for 11 months. During that time she has been extremely uncommunicative, not answering any requests for info about my defense. Not confirming that she receives my calls or emails. She has not done anything in my defense to prepare for trial. Last week, prior to a... Read more »

It sounds like you have already taken the proper steps by documenting your communications and approaching the judge. Many court-appointed lawyers are overworked and underpaid. Client communications are time-consuming and are not always helpful to the attorney's preparation of a defense.... Read more »

Unfortunately there are not enough facts to answer your question. Yes, the police may not "break down a door over a misdemeanor," legally. They can, however, break down the door in other circumstances: felony warrants, pursuing a fleeing felon, and (in some cases) to prevent the imminent... Read more »

Most criminal law cases are resolved without a trial. Sometimes the charges are dismissed by the prosecution and sometimes there is a settlement agreement between the prosecution and defense. A case may also be dismissed by a judge over the prosecution's objection, but that only happens in... Read more »

I’m being threatened by a make believe company that they will report me for stealing company funds.

Absolutely do not give this company any of your personal information. They are trying to phish you or obtain your personal details. There is a way on the cash app., I believe, to return the money, decline to accept it or report it as fraudulent. I would explore those avenues. The cash is not... Read more »

There is a short time-limit for filing a Federal Appeal. What's worse, in some instances you need to file a Motion for a New trial, before seeking an appeal. There is a lot to consider. But step one is usually, file a notice of appeal with the Court Clerk and check to see if you need to file... Read more »
