An Idaho attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. This doesn't look like a workers' comp or criminal law matter, and there wasn't a response from the Civil Rights practitioners. Questions sometimes remain unanswered, but at this point, you could try... View More

Police have the right to pull you over, if they get information from Dispatch or their CAD system, telling them that you are suspended or not licensed or if they see (or say they see) you commit a traffic infraction. I file Motions to Suppress, whenever I see a report and the cop SAYS he saw a... View More

Yes. While you're on probation, you may not possess a "weapon," but I believe the Legislature was referring to guns, not bows.

There is an Idaho Criminal Rule 11. It says:

Notice of Plea Agreement. If a plea agreement is reached by the parties, the court must, on the record, require the disclosure of the agreement in open court or, on a showing of good cause, in camera, at the time the plea is offered. If the... View More

In order for a policeman to pull you out of traffic, the cop must have a valid, articulable suspicion that you are, have been, or are about to commit a crime, even a traffic offense. So, if we judge the cop's actions in pulling you over, we must look at the information he/she had about you,... View More

Okay, correct me if my recitation of facts is incorrect: you worked for a realtor? You quit, a few months ago? They are "coming after you," for something? And, they are using facts from your personal life to "come after you?" If these facts are correct, then this is my... View More

First of all, if you would use a few commas, and periods, in your question, if would be much easier to decipher what you're asking. However, let me see if I can restate what your question is: you were pulled over, while driving your father's vehicle? Officer asks your permission to... View More

This is a question for the jury - what "permission" was reasonable to believe this generous person gave you. If the "giver" is believed, then the jury will probably convict you of theft. If you are believed, and the jury believes that the giver actually gave you permission to... View More

What kind of "bank document" did he/she show you? If it was a bankcard and was used to access the money in the bank under the person's name, then it is ILLEGAL and prosecutable. If it was someone else's bank statement, it is called FRAUD, if it was utilized to obtain a loan.... View More
