Any search of the home would require a search warrant supported by probable cause, unless you provided consent to search the home. There may also be a 4th Amendment issue as to whether the police could enter your property to be in the location of where they claim they saw the firearm. Law... Read more »

It would depend on what happened after the officer saw the medication and the syringe. If you are saying that the officer used that observation to extend the traffic stop for the tail light to investigate into drug possession--there may be a Forth Amendment issue here.

I got the ticket in Missouri but while in his vehicle when he gave me the ticket on camera he never asked me to sign it on any of the signature spots is the ticket valid he didn't sign the printed out ticket anywhere either

My dad's car was taken for driving on revoked from a 2nd DUI he got in 2007, they never charged him & the police drove off in his car, is that legal??
answered on Sep 29, 2022
If no charge was made by the LEO's, and no Forfeiture Warrant was issued, then it is an unlawful taking. But did Dad own the vehicle? I suspect more occurred here than what facts are stated. Driving on Revoked TNDL may be a charge in the making, which can take 1 year to initiate. The owner... Read more »

Because it could fall outside the traditional channels of checks and balances inherent in a system where different branches of government have the power to review bills and laws. Good luck

Anyone in jail can probably use a lawyer. 8th Amendment refers to the Constitutional prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. That Amendment is rarely found to apply to most circumstances.

A little difficult to answer based on the fact pattern. Assuming that no one was injured or hurt, this is likely just a personal matter and something to bring up with your family for discussion.

What are the maximum amount of losses if I lost a civil court case? What is the maximum amount of money that I need to put in, for a civil court case?

Strange question. It depends on how much the plaintiff sues for, if s/he wins that amount it's a win for the plaintiff.

You will need to provide some more information before an attorney will be able to evaluate whether to represent you in your case. What activity were you deprived of by the police, and how, when?

Technically, you probably can sue. But practically, it doesn’t appear you have any damages so the recovery would be minimal if any.
