It depends on what section of the city code applies. For some appeals of this nature, there would be an "up-the-ladder" process within the city administration. For some other appeals, you must instead file an appeal or a petition in the Circuit Court, which is more technically complex... View More

The process of expunging an arrest record can vary significantly based on jurisdiction, the nature of the offenses involved, and other factors.
In general, to pursue expungement, you would likely want to take the following steps:

It depends on what you mean by "discriminatory?" It is outdated and not compliant with the latest statute, which allows these flags to be flown year-round and also include Space Force, MIA and POW flags. This is state law, Florida Statute 720.304(2)(a-b). If you mean is it... View More

Apparently, what happened was that the defendant's attorney moved that the plaintiff (which, of is a criminal case, would be the government) be ordered to produce some sort of evidence. The judge gave the prosecution two weeks to produce the evidence. When the defendant's attorney... View More

No, if a judge grants a motion to compel and sets a deadline for the state to submit discovery, the state is not allowed to submit or use any evidence that was not submitted by the deadline. This is because the purpose of the deadline is to ensure that both the prosecution and defense have adequate... View More

Since the vehicle is on private land, that landowner possesses the vehicle. The statutory procedures for acquiring title to abandoned property (including vehicles) would help you only if the vehicle were on public land. See Florida Statutes Chapter 705 at:... View More

In theory, yes but government bodies may be immune from suit under a doctrine called sovreign immunity. Nobody online can give you the level or quality of advice you'd need to be able to act on your own; only an attorney whom you retain to resolve the issue can do that.

That's weird. A reporter must provide a requested transcript to a party to the case if the party pays the estimated cost up front, and an appropriate motion to the court may be made to seek relief. Which law applies depends on which court you're in.
