For example, assuming I know their PO and call their office/ email, can they tell me if a current probationer is in compliance with their terms, attending court ordered substance abuse classes, paying fees, and/or completeing community service.
I doubt a probation officer would disclose any information unless you were the attorney, court official or had a release/power of attorney from the probationer.
Generally what I've heard is that any recording that's been taken without a person's permission can't be used in court, but if hypothetically I was being abused by a blackout drunk who never remembers the abuse, I can't get evidence without recording it... What if I hit them out of retaliation... Read more »
If you hit the perpetrator, some time after the fact, out of retaliation and not for self-defense, your evidence of the previous abuse would be irrelevant. You would be guilty of assault and battery.
I was arrested and jailed The next day I received a visit from the P.D. office and was given the P.C. Affidavit. Three months later while still jailed I received in the mail that I was given a new P.D. I REQUIRED the newly appointed P.D. To send me a copy of the states discovery. After reception of...

Good afternoon, I'd like to try to answer a question, but I didn't see one here. Can you be more specific as to what type of helping you seek?
An authorized entry can still constitute a burglary. It would turn on the specific facts of intent, when it was formed, and how the consent was obtained. There is no requirement that an intended crime be completed in order to sustain a burglary charge. Anyone who is charged with or has reason to... Read more »
If usps drops of a bunch of mail and its up to security with no mail certification to sort mail and throw out “junk” mail which is up to discretion of the officer, then what crime is commited. Im looking for any reference to a statute in florida law. Also any reference to the possibility of... Read more »
Presumably residents have agreed that junk mail be discarded by security. If so, it would not be a crime to do so (and in any event it would be a federal matter; you will not find Florida state statutory law on the subject). Assuming that, you can be fired for refusing to do your job as assigned.
1.Police put people in jail, unless her mom is a cop.
2.Nothing illegal about dating a 15 year old at 17
3. Good idea to break it off at 18.
4.
I WANTED TO KNO SINCE THEY GAVE BE A TWO YEAR BAN CAN I STILL BE CHARGED WITH A CRIME
I’d need to see the documents but you can receive a no trespassing notice for that period and it is arrestable
Are you referring to recording court proceedings or recording during an investigation?
Last year I was scammed online about bitcoin job. I lost money, my debit cards were overdraft and almost lost apartment because of lack money. My and my boyfriends personal information were exposed to scammer. I do not have a lot of his personal info. But as I prove I have all messages, calls,... Read more »
It does not sound like this case would meet the requirement for physical or emotional injury. Police departments and prosecutors have been very stingy about signing off on them lately, so the weaker a case, the less likelihood of success. It also sounds like you are acknowledging proof problems,... Read more »
Police listen and record call without a judges ok can they use it for probable cause to stop , pull me out of my truck,take my keys,bring me 2 cars away, search locked bank bag and safe, then seized my money?
The general rule is that a warrant is required to listen on phone calls, but there are exceptions. One would be if the police utilized an informant to place the call. As for the vehicle stop and search, it's impossible to say whether the police had probable cause, as we don't know what they alleged... Read more »
To the court claiming the the accuser and my sister were secretly working together to go after the accuser’s stepfather. The judge scolded the local press for publishing the story, eliminated any potential jurors that knew about the letter, and plowed forward with the case.
No... Read more »
Yes, continuing with the trial would be proper if it in fact didn't affect the jury; and if indeed none of the jurors knew about the letter it would seem that their verdict wouldn't have been influenced by it.
You probably don't know anything about whether the circumstances of the letter... Read more »
I own the home.
I allowed her to move in from an abusive relationship.
She pays no rent. Gets mail here.
She denies doing it but it's been confirmed by another person.
She has previous conviction for same.
She agreed not to do any drugs when she moved in.... Read more »
It will depend on the circumstances. First, you'll need to get your roommate to stop. If they don't you may want to move, or have the roommate move. Do you really want the roommate arrested?
If police find drugs in your home after you let them in voluntarily (with no warrant) any drugs in a... Read more »
I posted and signed for a friend of mine to get out of jail, however I no longer feel comfortable and don't want to be responsible if they don't show up for court
Yes, you can.
This is unlawful how do I address this issue
I’m having a difficult time understanding your question. Sorry.
Regardless of your age, it’s illegal to have sexual pictures of a 16 year old. Don’t make it worse by sending them or showing them to anyone.
Good that you asked. Change up this behavior. You’re a kid, for cripes sakes.
Only a judge can violate you. Hearsay is permitted in probation violation hearings, but subject to cross examination by an attorney.
and was told by the head state attorny to take 3 years or 25 when the case was just a hear say im free now but what could i dowhen there was even evidence were being tamperd with by the police who arrested me
I am uncertain as to exactly what you are asking. However, if you believe that you were the victim of police officers who tampered with evidence...you may be able to pursue a claim for damages...you should move forward as quickly as possible...
