They have THOUSANDS of my own personal savings that they have told me is completely 100% refundable. Not only that, but they have my baby puppy. I’ve been uninformed throughout this whole thing about anything and I just want my puppy and money. This whole thing is making me physically sick.

Traffic stop with voluntary search,

Unlikely. I am wondering why you had to do any time in jail at all. Usually, these cases are done by summons where the charges are mailed out. You should speak to a lawyer. Sometimes these cases can be negotiated to a non-criminal fine or perhaps a first time offender program. Many of us give free... Read more »
He contacted my mom to talk about my son. Who is not his son.

I'm guessing that you are referring to a PFA? Or is this a pre-trial bail condition? If it truly is a violation, you can contact your local police department or the district attorney's office to report the violation. They will investigate and determine whether the contact was a violation... Read more »

Call a local criminal defense attorney to discuss the case. Most of us will give you a free consultation over the phone. If you have no prior record you may be eligible for a program where the charges eventually get dropped and expunged. Good luck!

No, it’s only double Jeopardy once there is a trial in front of a judge or jury. The state is permitted to re-file charges and you should get an experienced lawyer to defend you if you have not already. Good luck
The cops then pulled this person over for suspicion of DUI....is this some firm of entrapment?

Entrapment is an officer inducing you to do something you wouldnt otherwise do. Which is not the caae here. However, simply leaving a bar parking lot is probably insufficient for a car stop.
With other factors present it can be considered by the officer in forming reasonable suspiscion... Read more »

The person provided law enforcement with what they believe, or had reasonable grounds to, was the truth of the situation. The defendant has a prior charge only a few years old in which the same was accused and the defendant did not contest the charges at that time, although just like this... Read more »

With all due respect... what? Not trying to be rude but there is literally no way of answering this question. You, very appropriately, try to keep the details sparse so you cant be identified but they are so sparse I can't fathom how you could hope to get a response.

My best friend left her abusive fiance, and he mostly believes her leaving is my fault. He has already done things to try and cause turmoil in my life since she left him a few days ago and I'm terrified he's going to take it further.

A PFA can be filed by those who are family or household members as well as spouse and former spouses, parents and children, current or former sexual or intimate partners, or other persons related by blood or marriage. If your relationship with this person does not fall into one of those categories,... Read more »
The one cop was very aggressive and used unnecessary force and illegal detainment. now they want to charge me with BS to coverup their mistake due to them on ego trip.

The problem with your question is that it lacks the context needed to answer. Why they were in your home matters. For instance, many police departments will cuff a person when they are executing a search warrant. Your simply stating "you are not violent" doesn't mean that you... Read more »

I'm assuming that you want the charges dropped because you are the victim in the case? If that's true, you will need to attend the preliminary hearing and provide your input to the prosecuting attorney. Your fiancé should bring counsel to the hearing. Depending on his criminal history,... Read more »

Do NOT speak to the police without a warrant. More information is needed to give you advice. Did you know the person whose credit card it was? If not, you could be charged with felonies, including access device fraud, theft, identity theft. If you knew the person, if they say you did not nave... Read more »
Can I legally record a motel clerk speaking to me at the front desk in Pennsylvania without getting permission?

It depends on the laws in Pennsylvania and if this place is considered public. For example, in Florida there is a 2 party consent wire tap law.
