Your current state is Virginia
I have filed a Habeas petition in the 4th circuit on this issue. See Hommel v. Unknown, et al. I was civilly commited in virginia in 2007, but never was commited, as the order was stayed. Instead i was transfered to Federal custody in the northern district of ohio where i served approx. 10.9... Read more »

Defamation is a civil matter. The police are not going to take a report. What you are referring to is filing a false police report. Unless your mental capacity was relevant to the police matter, it is unlikely criminal charges would be sustained for falsely telling police you are schizophrenic. The... Read more »
My friend was arrested over 3 months ago and has not received his police report. They keep telling him it's not ready. How long can they withhold his report?
Pursuant to article 39.14 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, copies must be provided to the defense attorney "as soon as practicable after receiving a timely request." Appeals courts have ruled that the clock doesn't really start until the formal charging document is filed by... Read more »
She told my parents now that she is pregnant she is emancipated. They told her she needs to go to court first to get emancipated but she refused and left. Is that true we live in Florida. Do my parents need to file a runaway child case with the police. Will they get in trouble if she misses... Read more »
No, she is not emancipated simply because she is pregnant. See

You need to contact a good civil rights attorney immediately. If this has been happening for such a long period of time, you will have to explain why you have not taken this step long ago. It just may be that the statute of limitations, which sets out the time within you must act on your own... Read more »

I went into the convenient store and they said I needed a mask. I pulled my shirt up over my face and they said no, it had to be a mask. Then he said I'll sell you a mask while I'm not wearing a mask, but that he wouldn't sell me cigarettes unless I had a mask
A Texas attorney could advise best, as state law issues could apply. But your post remains open for three weeks. It seems like it would be difficult to successfully bring such a case because of the compelling need to protect public health. But you could check with another attorney for their opinion...

I have tried to rent a home from 3 different rental MGMT companies and was refused because I draw unemployment right now. All of them said I had to have a job or be employeed and could be verified. Why will they rent to someone that draws disability that is verifiable, and they do not have a job,... Read more »
I'm sorry for your frustrating ordeal. Your post remains open for three weeks, and at this point, you could try reaching out to Tennessee landlord-tenant attorneys.

It depends. Propaganda is defined as a " concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people". If you repeatedly shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater with the intent to cause a panic, as an example from a famous court case goes, you... Read more »
The California Department of Public Health issued a GUIDANCE on June 18/20 stating that "People in California must wear face coverings..."
- Is a GUIDANCE the same and an Order or a Law?
- Can police enforce this guidance?
- What can you be charged with if you do not choose to wear a mask?
The new orders issued yesterday and today from the Office of the Governor now create a state-wide mandate for the use of masks in public places. This means if you are over 2 years old (because if you are under 2 you cannot read the Order) you have to wear a face mask, waiting in line to enter a... Read more »
If a person decides at first to represent him or herself, can they later change their mind and hire a lawyer? How will the court view this type of shift?
In most circumstances, the only way the judge will have a problem with this scenario is if the defendant hires a new attorney on the eve of trial and then the new attorney asks that the trial be delayed so she can have more time to prepare and even in that case the judge might still be relieved to...

Also in the hallways and stairways and now a camera is being installed in our elevator and common areas and entrances and exits when I signed my lease I didn’t agree to be monitored 24 7. Is this legal or our privacy being invaded?
The answer that you don't want is that the law does impose duties on LLs to provide security in the common areas of this kind of complex. From your description, I would think that this complex is in the center of the bullseye for a number of nefarious types who are looking to harm seniors... Read more »

My friend was arrested recently. I took her to the police department to retrieve a copy of her police report and they informed her that the report was not public record and she couldn't have it.

There are two documents that are sometimes called a "police report." One of them is always a public document that should be on file at the clerk's office for the court where the case is pending. It is not technically public until formal charges are filed but some jurisdictions will... Read more »
If a person is pulled over because of a dim light over the license plate, and then it is discovered that the person has no driver's license, does this automatically give law enforcement grounds to search the car? The owner of the car was only a few blocks away, was called, and it was agreed... Read more »
The vehicle can be searched if the driver gave consent. However, if officers arrested the driver then consent to search is not required. A person can be arrested for driving without a license.
After I was told to park and go to sleep
more info needed.
who told you it was ok to park there?
was it the owner?
was it b/c you were under the influence?
cops can investigate but more info needed
If those are Natural rights and not privileges, and the Constitution doesn't give the federal government the power to strip rights away, how have they been able to justify doing so, even with a felony conviction?

the state and federal government have created new laws either by legislature or case law.
what they have done is to limit possession in public and for felons... often at all times.

If a person is alleged stealing from a store but the store camera doesn't have it or wasn't working and another customer videotapes it, can that video be admissible in court?
It really depends on whether or not the video can be authenticated. Generally speaking it is possible that the video could be used.
