It could be an assault ... it could be self defense ... is it upsetting enough to pursue criminal charges? Your question is very hard to answer on the limited facts given.
No contest plea was to a felony. I wasn't given jail time. Just 6 months to be free of any legal trouble and the record would be expunged.
If it's been expunged or entered under HYTA, no.
The person in charge of said residence told him he did not have permission
Your question is heavily fact-dependent. How and what was the police officer searching? What was the basis for a wellness check? Regardless, cops don't need to ignore things then in the open. For example, there would be no impermissible search required for the police to arrest someone when... Read more »

Judges take a great variety of things into consideration - much more than just what violation was committed -- when sentencing. Also, the way the system works is that you get punished more severely as you continue to commit violations. He will probably get what he deserves this time.
I signed a contract with the individual that he would replace the fencing around my property. After the check cleared for the down payment, he has stopped returning my messages. What are my legal options?
You may want to contact the police and file a complaint.
750.92 Attempt to commit crime.
Sec. 92.

The officer left out exculpatory information told to him by a witness. That witness was a confidential informant who wasn't named in the affidavit. The officer swore to the witnesses reliability . If what this witness said he witnessed is true. What my accuser alledges cannot be true.
Talk to your attorney. They aren't going to expose the CI without a considerable fight of course. And it is permissible to rely on a CI's testimony.
The duty to disclose exculpatory evidence is on the prosecutor, not the police; it would be weird for a search warrant to have... Read more »
My accuser alledges that I sold him methamphetamine in a camper trailer on the back of a piece of property.

Perhaps one of the most common misconceptions, and hardest to convince clients of, is the fact that police reports are not evidence. At some point, if you go to trial, the prosecutor will need to have those individuals testify; your attorney might be able to ask them questions about the... Read more »
WHY IS HE STILL ON TO REPORT AND REGISTER. HE WAS ALSO TO BE A TEIR ONE BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

Your son needs to confirm his registration status, and should check his judgment of conviction to see what exactly he has. MSP just enforces what is court-ordered, so there might be a miscommunication or misunderstanding somewhere between what your son and the court think.

IM WRITING A PAPER FOR 5TH GRADE
GOOGLE the following:
can you be convicted of a crime without physical evidence
and you will see the mistake you are making.
So my project is on changing the law that states You cant arrest someone without physical evedince I want to say the law is wrong what are 3 strong key points I could use? And how do you want your name in my paper?
Where are you finding something that says that you cannot arrest someone without physical evidence? One of us is confused.
If I killed someone but there are no fingerprints or physical evidence saying I did but someone was like. "Oh yes she told me she was going to kill her". Could they be aressted?
They would be investigated for that, however, that alone would not be enough evidence for an arrest.
Think of this example:
I'm in the bedroom of a house. I know it's raining outside. I don't see you walk into the house, but find you in the living room wet. That's circumstantial evidence that you were just outside. Based on the circumstances (e.g. raining outside; you... Read more »

On recording
File a police report and see. Depending on what they find, they could recommend a number of criminal charges to the prosecutor, who is ultimately the decider of who gets charged with what. Your boyfriend may also consider applying for a personal protection order.
I was never convicted or sentenced to be placed on any probation. Though I was arrested for being at an after hours club along with several others. The small quantities of drugs discarded on the floor were never attached to anyone, and the arresting squad never showed up in court on the 2... Read more »
Did you have a lawyer during this process? That should be your first call. He or she should have what's called a nolle pros (motion and order to dismiss) in the file.
Were you on probation or parole when you were arrested? An arrest, even if it doesn't led to conviction, can be... Read more »
if a non-police sex preditor exposure group set me up with a sting can this info be used by police and DA to have me charged. in michigan. There was no real victim just someone pretending to be underage
Possibly. There doesn't need to be a "real victim" to bring charges. Police do these stings all the time. You should be doubly cautious because there are groups out there that will attempt to extort you.
He says something about family heritage and a lawrence treloar who I have never heard of and they need a beneficiary to claim his assets and ect... He said he was a hemp oil business man. Who inherited the business from his mother kate treloar
If you THINK it’s a scammer it probably is. The best course of action is to ignore it.
This one is a bit craftier than most as it appears they have picked the name of a real barrister from Britain, but if it smells funny you can always ask that they mail you something documenting their... Read more »

Looking at the terms of that condition, I can see where you could be confused. Best advice is to do exactly what you already did: seek clarification from your parole agent. Ultimately, they are the determining factor as to whether a violation occurs.
What I think that provision refers to,... Read more »
