The EPO is civil and unless you were charged with criminal charges at the time. The epo should be all you face. However, if you violate the epo, the charges will be criminal and you could have to face them as well.
will any other charges be placed on me?!
answered on Jun 16, 2022
They certainly could, especially since the epo is civil rather than criminal. Hire a good defense attorney to handle the epo against you and determine whether you should testify.

The officer was fired for using unnecessary force (not just on me) and lying on the police report, and when I went to court all charges were dropped. Should they have reimbursed me for all of the money I paid? Also is a male officer allowed to use force on and arrest a female citizen?

You need to have a civil rights attorney view your situation. You may possibly be entitled to bigger damages depending on the facts of your case.
answered on Jun 12, 2022
Possibly dismissal, possibly diversion or possibly probated time depending on the facts of the case.

The time stamp is overlapped and video is froze in the middle of the recording. Only audio continues. Is it possible that the recording can be suppressed and not be allowed as evidence or is this something that has to wait until trial? (Federal / Criminal). Thank you for your time.

If there is proof, it can be addressed by suppression prior to trial.

The evidence log / chain of custody that’s in my discovery was filled out by the last agent that received the property. The writing and signatures are very clearly the same handwriting. The agent filled out dates for dates before he had custody of the evidence. Can evidence be suppressed?
