Certainly sounds like a mistake was made, which happens from time to time. You should plead not guilty, which means a hearing will be scheduled that you will have to appear for. It should be as simple as the officer realizing he/she made a mistake when you see him/her at the hearing. You can also... View More

The question as is makes no sense, and the asker is best advised to retain legal counsel for his court action.

The difference is that public drunkenness is a violation of the Pennsylvania crimes code, whereas a local ordinance is not. It is only a violation of the local ordinance, or administrative code. It is not a criminal offense, but there will still be a public record generated in connection with the... View More

If it meets the definition of a trailer, yes.

A hospital isn't obligated to operate on anyone who doesn't follow their protocols. You can ask for a different hospital but none of them are required to abide by your concerns. You have no Constitutional Right that forces anyone to give you medical treatment, especially under your terms.... View More

If you are eligible for Public Assistance, you would be eligible for Legal Aid or Legal Services. They can best review your situation and your options.

You may be able to contact the court and ask them to change the plea. Some courts will allow you to send an email or a fax to their office asking that your plea be changed to guilty - they're going to want something from you in writing indicating that you wish to plead guilty.

Maybe the best person to pose your question to could be a former JAG. But your question remains open for four weeks. Given the high regard for the program because of its selection process, many would see it as a strong accomplishment. Some might see the fact that you would probably be working with... View More

Actually, this is no joke. Impersonating a federal officer is a very serious crime. You really should consult with a federal criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.

From your location this is an Ohio question, which I am not qualified to answer. However, if this is a Pennsylvania question the answer is that if probation is revoked you can be resentenced to anything that was originally allowable. Its an important differentiation between probation and parole.... View More

Yes. It's the mayor's - city council's call to make, and such measures have been implemented in other cities across the nation. Good luck

Probably. But wait and see: at least one other surrounding county has extended their judicial shutdown through the end of May, and Philadelphia may do the same in the coming weeks. I bet it will.

Best of luck to you, and wash your hands.

Yes, the school is within its legal rights to disseminate education to its students through online learning. Requiring students to attend school, in person, could put more students at risk than necessary, so providing online education would not violate any laws.

I think I get the gist of your question this time. The ticket is not evidence against you it is simply notice that you have committed a violation. On that ticket is information about what you need to do to challenge that violation. The ticket does not assign a value for a penalty it merely puts... View More

Yes, there are minimum requirements of Due Process. What that means is almost entirely impossible to explain in this format. There are hundreds of articles written on this on the internet. If you have a specific context it would be much easier to address and give you a more productive answer.... View More

I can see your issue, but not sure how else the situation should be handled. How many victims of crimes are related to, say, cops? What should happen in those cases? The world isn't perfect.

Sometimes in very high profile criminal cases in which there's a conflict of interest... View More

Not prosecuted but if it turns up in the medical records they could drop you or re-rate you. Sorry, the person.

The penalty varies from plan to plan. You can check with the plan administrator to determine exact amount. It is unlikely that the IRS is even aware of the pension plan, do very doubtful that they will be able to seize money.

Try contacting your local Pennsylvania State Police barracks with your questions. They deal with and enforce most of the firearms laws in the Commonwealth. Better safe than sorry, right?

Best of luck to you.
