It is possible that the DA's office may not file charges by 12/18. They have a year from the date of a misdemeanor incident to do so and are not required to file on or before the court date shown on your police citation.

No one asks who hired the lawyer. Either the person has one or, if jail is a possibility, one is appointed. If you want to object I suppose you can go to court and do so, but I would think you should talk to your kid's lawyer first.

If you were pulled over and the police officer discovered a warrant, they can arrest you. The officer doesn't have to give you a ticket when they pull you over, even if the officer had a legal reason to pull you over. It's up to the officer to decide whether to issue a ticket or not.

It depends upon many factors such as what your criminal history is like and what the facts of the case now are. Regardless, you should consult with experienced criminal defense counsel asap.
Are all 3 points of argument criteria and requirements? Or is only one point of argument to be chosen and focused upon? And then how far do I go into detail in solidifying my argument? I mean if the entire arrest was unlawful and the officer literally did everything imaginable wrong as far as... View More

Although local practices can vary, in general, the petition itself is just a check the box exercise. Then you file a supporting legal memorandum as a separate document. In your case, it also sounds like you should also be filing a motion to suppress.
