Is it the responsibility of the defense attorney or the defendant himself to initiate getting the petition (6600 SVP) dropped in the county of commitment?
In the end, the judge does it. It happens after a conviction in the new case.
He said he would let me see it after they were done searching
The officer should show you the warrant before the search begins, but most people are not aware of their rights when confronted with an aggressive police officer. If you do not review the warrant before the search, how are you to know who or what is to be searched and why the search is being done... Read more »

Small Claims is an option. However, if you booked through a third party, like Booking.com or similar, I don't think you can get your money back.

Co defendant was already prosecuted and sentenced. An Incriminating text message is being used in case against my friend. Without being able to directly question this person, would this evidence be not admissible and hearsay?
It depends:
1) If there a conspiracy charged? Then probably yes.
2) Was your friend in the text (sender or receiver)? Then probably yes.
3) During the preliminary hearing, yes.
4) Otherwise, no.
If someone is incarcerated on a civil petition (6600 SVP) and then gets criminally convicted of a drug crime sometime later, must the court drop the civil commitment once criminally convicted?
6600 starts when a person is leaving prison. If he goes back to prison, the 6600 evaluation will again when he is going to be released.
Remember that the SVP is designed to keep him locked up for life.

Recently, he was charged with Sales/Transport and is now under a criminal charge while the civil commitment petition is still active. Does the civil petition need to be dropped in order to continue with the criminal... Read more »

Yes. This is the standard way that these things work. If you do your part, the case never sees the inside of a courthouse. If not, they can get a warrant for your arrest.
P.S. In the future, don't post information like this on a public forum!
Good luck!
