In scenarios where multiple occupants reside in a property, the consent to search the common areas of the property can be given by any one of the occupants. However, since you are the owner of the house, you have a more substantial standing to either consent to or refuse a search of the property.... View More

If you were sober, the drug test will most likely be the single strongest piece of evidence that determines your guilt or innocence. If you had a small amount of a controlled substance, the "driving facts" will also play an important part in determining your guilt or innocence. A small... View More

A Wisconsin attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. Personal injury attorneys are not likely to know this - you could repost under Criminal Law. Good luck

and asked if i needed a lawyer and they told me no. i was later convicted on that crime is this legal?
answered on Apr 16, 2018
If you were read your rights and you declined a lawyer prior to taking the voice detection test, then it will most likely stand up. If you were not Mirandized prior to taking the test, then it should have been raised and challenged in the prosecution of your case

More information is needed to provide meaningful advice. You cannot be arrested for (or charged with) possession of prescription medication without having a valid prescription absent probable cause. So unless you had a large number of pills or confessed, it would ordinarily be difficult to get to... View More

You should file a petition for the return of the phone under Section 968.20 of the Wisconsin Statutes. It is unclear whether there is a violation of the Fourth Amendment. You were told that you were not under arrest and voluntarily handed the phone over. You should have said no.

While you do have rights of speech as you clearly articulate, those rights of speech must be contextualized. You must remember that the school as an institution has rules and regulations governing the conduct of students like you. Schools usually design their rules and regulations on the basis of...

You do not have rights, as the law defines that term. However, the situation is ridiculous and you should expect the charged to be dismissed.

I believe that the city police officer can follow you within the jurisdiction he works and also call others if and when you are about or he suspects you will elude him or her into another jurisdiction. An officer can follow you for as long as s/he believes a crime is being committed has been... View More

Your question is more complicated than you probably intended it to be. Police may use and act on false information. The real question is a quality of the false information. You should review the application for the warrant at the circuit court that issued the warrant. The application will show... View More
And if a disclaimer were used such as "I DO NOT MEAN ANY ACTUAL HARM ONTO THE PRESIDENT", would that suffice?
answered on Apr 24, 2017
The short answer is yes. And you do not need a disclaimer. There are hundreds of songs about killing political figures. There is a different between artistry and threats. And there is a different between speech and true threats. I assume you fall squarely within the artistry and First Amendment... View More

Police officers do not charge crimes, prosecuting attorneys do. Police officers do make criminal referrals to prosecuting attorneys. So I assume that is what you mean: the police officer is threatening to make a criminal referral unless you inform. And, yes, a police officer can do that.
Example: Can the Kenosha County Circuit Court in Kenosha, Wisconsin vacate the void judgment of the Cook County Circuit Court in Chicago, IL?
answered on Apr 24, 2017
The short answer is no. But the court could refuse to enforce the void judgment.
