Management deleted hours work prior to terminations.

Firearm in my now residential state of Arizona. The p.o.w. charge was for a knife with knuckle holes laying in the back of my truck. Said knife is not illegal in Arizona so would that fall under state misdemeanor?
It sounds like you are referencing a fourth degree weapons charge. That is a class A misdemeanor in New York, punishable by up to 364 days in jail. Since the crime you were convicted of does not carry the potential for incarceration over one year, you should be able to pass a background check. If... Read more »

You can be CHARGED with anything. The State will still have to prove your guilt. If you were in possession of stolen goods, the prosecutor will assume you're guilty. Only the COURT offers you the presumption of innocence, the prosecutor is not so bound.
Hire a private attorney.
That is actually the case number, not the charge. I'm not sure though county the case is in, but I am guessing "FE" stands for "felony". If that is correct, then at least one of the charges (there could be more than one) is fairly serious.
Don't answer the way they want you too answer truthfully
Capture video evidence and call 911. After you have contacted 911, you may, if safe to do so, request the parties stop damaging your property and leave.

If I understand you correctly, you are accusing someone in the attorney general's office of perjury or possibly accusing a state employee in their official capacity of perjury. Either way, it is almost certain that the person you are wishing to have charges pressed against for perjury would be... Read more »
can someone record conversations in a bedroom that we had without my consent?

If the party placed a recording device and surreptitiously recorded a conversation between two other people, THAT is illegal. Difficult to develop... Read more »
This is for answering disclosure questions on a employment background check for a becoming a loan originator.
If the case was dismissed, you did not plead guilty and you were not convicted.

I was sited with an open container while riding an ATV side by side on a forest road, the courts gave me a date and time they would call me but they never called me within that time frame they set.
Is there any recourse for me to take in my defense?
You should contact the clerk of court and determine if the hearing was held or continued. They may have set another date. If they did not, you may ask that you be put on the calendar.
Someone in TX was sending 6 different people packages containing drugs. They were pulled over and arrested on the way to the post office. What do the recipients of those packages need to watch out for? Can they be arrested? Is it likely? The sender was arrested for trafficking.
It is unlikely you could be arrested at this point but you could certainly be placed under observation and/or questioned regarding the package which was addressed to you. Absent evidence of communication between the two of you regarding your agreement to receive the package, they do not have much... Read more »

I upsconded about a yr ago and have a felony warrant. No dangerous non repetitive. With the COVID-19 They don't seem to be keeping people in jail. So would this be an idea time to surender?
Now would probably be a better time than any other that I can think of. The court system is trying to keep people out of jail at the moment, and therefore they may be more likely to reinstate you on probation than to revoke it. Of course, that is assuming all other things being equal. More... Read more »
She never got approved from my husband to represent his codependent prior or after to 7/13/20.Is this an error by his lawyer that would constitute a dismissal of my husband's case?
If your husband and a co-defendant are both being represented by the public defenders office, THAT is a problem. The PD cannot merely assign two separate attorneys to co-defendants. The court must appoint conflict counsel to one of the defendants from outside the PD's office.

A bow is not a firearm. To the best of my knowledge, there is no prohibited possessor statute under Arizona or federal law which applies to bows. You should not be in violation of any law by bowhunting with a felony on your criminal record.
