I am required to register as a Violent/Sexual Offender in Minnesota and have been approved to travel for vacation. I will be visiting Glacier National Park in Montana for a week.

These are really questions that need to be asked in the Montana and ND forums. Those states would control what, if any obligations, you have as an out-of-state predatory offender visiting for a vacation.

You did not ask a question, but if your question is what are the procedures for licensing you can check out the NJ State Police Website and look under Firearms Information and Firearms FAQS

With certain exceptions, no. See Florida Statute 790.065 which provides in pertinent part that "... (13) A person younger than 21 years of age may not purchase a firearm. ... ".
I was involved in a minor accident in 2011. No damage to either vehicle. My insurance had lapsed and the other party filed a law suit. I moved out of state and realized years later a default judgment was entered against me. Now the dmv wants proof that the debt was satisfied before they will... Read more »

You indicate that there was no "damage to either vehicle", but the default judgment apparently indicates otherwise. I suggest that you get an attorney to negotiate a settlement (perhaps paying only a portion) with the judgment creditor.

It sounds like the case is still in the pre trial phase so an appeal would be untimely. The basic timeline is arraignment, pre-trials (discovery and negotiations), either plea or trial, sentencing, and then appeal.

Unfortunately I suggest you obtain the services of a New York attorney experienced in this type of law because you are going to have to convince a judge that you are not responsible for the tickets based on your circumstances described above. You can also keep attempting to dispute the tickets... Read more »
They are going off what some body said but I never was in the vehicle
answered on May 25, 2022
Like many questions posted in this and other web forums, this question is one best discussed privately with an attorney where the conversation is privileged.
With that said, all the government is required to do is present sufficient evidence to firmly convince the jury of all the elements... Read more »

Court-appointed attorneys are overworked and underpaid just about everywhere. Your best bet overall is probably to hire a local criminal defense attorney who DOESN'T accept court appointments. However, not everyone thinks they can afford that... but can they afford prison?
Anyway,... Read more »
So when he arrested us I had nothing on me abs scale was his car under my seat. How can I get charge for meth when he had it on him not me

You can get CHARGED with assaulting the Tooth Fairy if an officer believes you did it. The fact that the Tooth Fairy isn't actually real is a great defense at trial, if a case like that actually got that far, but that won't prevent an arrest if the officer is convinced he has probable...

It was an accident and I'm not pressing charges but neighbors witnessed him hitting me with a car and I was taken to ER for fractured leg. Should I say it was an accident/he was unaware or that he needed to hit me to stop me from attacking him with metal bar? I don't want him going to... Read more »

You are under no obligation to talk to the police but you shouldn't lie to them. It is not up to you whether charges are filed against him, but up to the DA. The best course of action would be for you to talk to his attorney who can try to convince the DA not to file charges after getting a... Read more »

You would need to contact the entity that prosecuted the original case, either the Commonwealth Attorney or the county Attorney. The clerks office can tell you which one prosecuted the man.
stuff what happens next it’s been over 2 months?

The statute of limitations has not run yet so there is still a chance you can be charged.

How did the police become involved? It is possible for both people to be charged with domestic violence. Whether the video will help him depends on the entirety of the situation; the problem with video is that it only shows a moment in time. If I pummel you, then turn on my video just as you are...

It depends on the person's status with the BMV. IF they are suspended-infraction, then they will continue to get tickets and not criminally charged. Though, if they plead to one of the DWS tickets, the status will change to DWS-prior and the person could be arrested and criminally charged.

The first thing your attorney will probably try to figure out is whether the officer had reasonable suspicion to stop and search in the first place, because if there wasn't a good reason to pull you over, or there wasn't a good reason for the traffic stop to turn into a drug... Read more »

Under South Carolina Law, there are no criminal statutes of limitations.

Perhaps not. If such a "black powder gun" falls within the definition of an "antique firearm", as defined in Florida Statute 790.001 (1), which reads "any firearm manufactured in or before 1918 (including any matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar early type of... Read more »

answered on May 23, 2022
Your inquiry is a bit vague. If this was a hit-and-run, with a driver fleeing the accident scene, what does "found at a hit and run" mean? If you mean the truck was found somewhere else, and police determined that it was the vehicle that hit and ran, AND the police have not yet... Read more »
