I requested a hearing for a traffic ticket,
but I was not swear in. Neither was the police officer.

In general, and without knowing what happened at the hearing, your talking to the judge or other persons in a court hearing doesn't necessarily mean you are testifying (or giving evidence, in other words). But if you aren't put under oath, you can't later be prosecuted for perjury.
My friend and I are debating a video in which a man in a parking lot, dumping garbage from his car into a dumpster, showed an officer his license. When the officer went to run the license for the man's info, he refused. He said he's a lawyer and knows his rights and the officer may not... View More

Yes, you have to show your license, and yes the police officer can run your DL in their system. The statute is below. Pro-tip: don't pick up an arrest trying this theory out.

Is there a statue of limitation on this
answered on Sep 14, 2021
Have you contacted the Fla. Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to ask what you can do to reinstate your DL? Generally, DL suspension for failure to pay a money judgment arising from a car accident is up to three years. The statute of limitations is irrelevant - that's about deadlines... View More

depends on the judge you have and the prosecutor...in all likelihood fines and court costs.
I friend of mine is being threatened with eviction for trespassing on an easement that belongs to the park and is there to allow access to another piece of land. On some maps and map apps it even shows as being a street.

You should not be soliciting legal advice for your friend, no matter how good your intentions are. That would be practicing law without a license and a felony.
Your friend needs to consult with a real estate attorney to review the plats and easements. The simple and less expensive option... View More
I had the green light at an intersection, but not an arrow. As soon as a group of cars clear the road, I saw an opportunity to turn left, but I did not fully pay attention to the intersection. A high school student was crossing the road and didn't see whether she had the crosswalk light or not... View More

I am uncertain if you are worried about the footage being used for a personal injury lawsuit by the pedestrian or as grounds for giving you a traffic ticket. To answer your questions directly, though, yes, they could turn over the footage. It seems unlikely that the driver would turn over the... View More

Ask the Lee County Clerk of Court if a PDF of such a letter will be sufficient. If so, have Minnesota email such a signed letter to you and show that to the Lee Clerk.

I am filling out a "Notice of Related Cases" in relation to having my name legally changed. All I have on my record is a pair of civil traffic cases, but they are both closed cases. I verified they are closed through Duval County's CORE Website.
Do I still need to list those... View More
answered on Feb 28, 2021
The Notice of Related Cases is for cases that are related. For example: if there is a child support case and a divorce case. Closed traffic cases are not related to a name change.
Good luck!

That's what you have an attorney for; ask your Georgia attorney.
answered on Jan 3, 2021
You cannot get that "removed" from the record, though you could beat the ticket, which would create a record that you beat the ticket. REGARDLESS of what the record shows, or doesn't show, the other person can sue you for bodily injury and/or property damage, but to prevail, must... View More

You should retain an attorney to seek a bond on the probation matter, or release on recognizance, with the judge and prosecutor on the probation case.
(Florida highway patrol)
(POI) proof of insurance
Does that change anything, could the ticket be dropped?

I'd normally reply by suggesting you ask your question in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Alabama, but no, it doesn't matter who's car it was; your boyfriend was speeding in it.

If your driver's license is suspended in Georgia (I assume OCGA 40-6-189 is a reference to a Georgia statute), you basically aren't allowed to drive in any state.
Searched and I received a ticket for possession of paraphernalia would this be illegal search and seizure since a driver received no tickets for the initial stop because without that stop I would have never been searched
answered on Oct 11, 2020
No, it was not an illegal search. The prosecution isn't required to prosecute the speeding violation.
I have outstanding court costs that have gone to collections from 2010 to 2017 I was wondering if there was any way that I can get my license back without having to pay the full amount do to me living on social security income
answered on Sep 8, 2020
You may be able to work something out with the clerk's office to get a clearance on your license. That may all depend on the number of cases that are pending and the locations of the tickets issued. Or, you may wish to contact a lawyer.
Does anyone know whats considered a secondary traffic offence in FL. I think texting while driving is. Are there any others. I keep finding conflicting information.
Thanks

In Florida, violations of mandatory seat belt laws are subject to "primary enforcement". To my knowledge, there is no "secondary enforcement" in Florida for any violation of the traffic laws. See... View More

I would be surprised if you can't call the Clerk of Court in Georgia and have them send the release; you shouldn't have to physically go there.
