When evaluating the validity of a search warrant, minor errors, such as the incorrect spelling of a street name or misidentifying which side of the street a property is on, are not usually enough to render a warrant invalid. Courts generally focus on whether the warrant sufficiently describes the... View More

In the state of Georgia a parent involved in a deprivation case does not get a court appointed attorney. If you want an attorney you need to contact someone who handles juvenile cases as a parent attorney and discuss your case with them.

I was approached by a deputy while standing in a hotel parking lot and charged with obstruction for failure to ID, arrested and put in jail in Georgia.

You do not have to provide ID unless you are driving a car or the officer has probable cause to suspect a crime was being committed. Thus, if the officer had probable cause to believe you were committing a crime, then any civil suit would fail. Further, suing police officers for conduct committed... View More
LEO's opened my gate because they suspected that a person they had an arrest warrant for was there. Which they weren't there. Did they have the right to just unlatch my gate (that has a no trespassing sign on it) and open them up, and proceeded onto my property looking for said suspect?

It does not matter if the person was actually on the property if the above standard was met. However, the police will be limited to only search the property for where a... View More
