I was trying to speak to my ex husband about our children, and he disrespectfully rolled up his window while repeating, “I don’t care.” My husband approached the vehicle. He slapped the car window (open palm) to get my ex’s attention and asked him to listen to me. My ex then rolled the... View More

It is always a good idea to consult with an attorney. Disorderly conduct can be charged as an infraction or as a misdemeanor. You should definitely at least speak to an attorney so they can advise your husband on the potential penalties of the charge. Having the disorderly conduct could come back... View More

You need to contact an attorney to review and assist you in your case. You need an attorney. Do not speak to anyone about the case and consult with an attorney. Based of what you're saying there are likely many issues with the officers conduct, but until an attorney looks at all the police... View More

There isn’t anything you can do about the tow and impound fees. You need to contact an attorney who handles traffic cases to help you with the reckless driving. It’s a class b misdemeanor. They don’t seem like a big deal, but I’ve have clients tell me their insurance company dropped them... View More

You need to hire an attorney to represent you. If you cannot afford one, the court will appoint an attorney for you.
I was released from prison in 2019. From my research, I can only qualify for SO Registry removal if my conviction was Misdemeanor Voyeurism and not Felony Voyeurism, however, since I'm on the registry I apparently don't qualify for a 402 reduction, and since I'm convicted of a felony... View More

I haven't reviewed the statute on the length of registration for your offense, but assuming it is a 10 year registration (10 year from the end of probation) you cannot get a 402 reduction while you're on the registry. There is no exception to this. So you have to be off the registry... View More

This is not a criminal law question. You need a family law specialist.

Aric is correct. Every police department should have a policy regarding body cameras. You should contact an attorney to represent you. They will know how to get the body cam and the police department's policy.

You should report it to law enforcement. I suspect they will tell you it's a civil matter(it's not, but that's how they get out of dealing with it), but I would still make the police report.

If this is a criminal charge against you, then it appears the Government is dismissing one or all charges against you. However Jeopardy probably does not apply, which means you might get charged later within the SOL. Talk to your attorney and stay out of trouble as you may be watched.

Assuming I'm understanding correctly with your relative ages, that you will turn 15 in October and your partner will turn 18 in November, the answer is yes. Right now, until you turn 15, consensual sexual activity between you and your partner would be considered unlawful adolescent sexual... View More
Can a Class A misdemeanor of simple assault on a peace officer be expunged?
Meaning if your Plea and Abeyance said 18 months can a judge dismiss your case and the charges after only 6 months if you have completed all other required terms?
answered on Jul 26, 2022
The plaintiff is the city/state that is prosecuting you. You would be the defendant. You can always represent yourself and contact the prosecutor to see if they will offer you a plea deal (a plea in abeyance is a type of plea deal).
I was taking a nap in the vehicle when a cop showed up . Keep in mind we’re at my work property, the cop knocks on the rear passenger window and says we got a call on a dog in the back of a vehicle.

There isn't enough information here. What is your question? You should contact an attorney directly for assistance. If you have been charged with a crime and cannot afford an attorney the court will appoint one for you.

It just seems like certain demographics of people are used to complaining and using the police to manipulate and get things they want. For example, someone accuses hotel staff for stealing there jewelry, in an attempt comp a free room or reimbursement. They then claim they saw a hotel maid wearing... View More

The short answer is yes. Lying to the police is illegal and you can get charged with obstruction of justice. Lying to hotel staff is not lying to law enforcement (police).

You have described an incident but you have not asked a question. It appears you have three paths moving forward: 1) pay the fine and take the conviction as is - simplest and quickest resolution which likely has the most significant impact on your insurance (you may want to contact your insurance...

Are safe rooms or a locked Master bedroom where the prohibited person does not have access, legal to store prohibited items?

No, the host does not forfeit their rights, but exercising those rights would likely send the prohibited person to prison. The prohibited person has lost the right to live with someone whose rights have not been limited without inconveniencing that person with having to live AS IF they had also... View More
