Could Indianapolis police arrest the driver, having previously been revoked in Illinois despite the valid Michigan license?
All mentioned states are the members of the Interstate Compact Agreement that share driver's information for the purposes of issuing, revoking, and suspending one's privileges.
Thus, by routine traffic stop, an Indiana police officer or a state trooper may see the actual status... Read more »
The proximate cause theory of liability was used to convict somebody; what must the plaintiff prove before the paints can use proximate cause theory as basis for his/her case?
One way is to establish that whatever happened was reasonably foreseeable given the Defendant's actions or failure to act.
"Conviction" refers to Criminal law, only."
If you were looking for something different, please re-write the question.
If the charges are misdemeanors then 2 years if they would be felony charges, then 5 years.

An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Unfortunately, the scenario you describe places the primary blame on you. In virtually any jurisdiction, entering the main roadway from a driveway gives right of way to drivers already proceeding in the main... Read more »
That will depend on the facts of the case and is the safe listed in the original search warrant.
Cause the person who did this violated the no contact order and the bail revocation hearing is before the trial
Only if you want his/her bail revoked.
If the county where the charges are pending is using Odyssey/mycase (mycase.in.gov) you can look up the case and it should list who is the PD assigned.
It will depend on many other facts. You should consult a criminal defense attorney right away.
It means the defendant appeared with his attorney (likely Kurt Earnst) who also entered his appearance and the state was present by its Deputy Prosecuting Attorney.

The man was 6'4" security guard who. eat his girlfriend. My friend was afraid for her own safety and was afraid if she acted he would turn his attention on her. Prior to the attack, the man's girlfriend tried to force herself on my friend, that's when he attacked his girlfriend.
Your friend would not be in trouble for not intervening especially in light of the size difference between her and the abuser. If charges are filed against him for beating his girlfriend, your friend may be required to testify.
everything I read refers to alcohol, looking how one is habitual traffic violator for drug use.
Intoxication is not an element of Habitual Traffic Violator.

If you are referring to does the time count towards your sentence if convicted, the time does not. It is simply time waiting for your case to go through the court process.

It has my husbands co-defendant)
My question is why is that like that?
It really depends where on the docket you are looking, but case captions are generally limited to one name. So you'll often see USA v. John Doe, et al. The et al. stands for everyone else. Some cases have lots of defendants and it would make things awfully cumbersome if they all had to be... Read more »
Most likely he is looking at a level 5 felony which has a penalty range of 1-6 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
In December of 2014 and January of 2015 I caught the charges and then came to Florida before I was sentence or to go to the court does the statue of limitation of 5 years drop those charges?
The Statute of Limitations (SoL) controls when the state has to file the charges. So from the offense date to the filing date cannot be more than 5 years on most felonies. Therefore, if you were charged within the 5 years, but have not gone to court the SoL will not terminate the charges.... Read more »

YES, that happens quite regularly. It is not the best police work, however, people refuse to speak to officers/detectives all the time so many times charges go over to the prosecutor without an interview. Also, you refused to speak with him the first time and he likely believed that would be the... Read more »
