I said they could do a weapons sweep. I guess they took that as they could do whatever. They found a notebook and they are charging me with identity theft. This happened in 2018. They are just now charging me. Can they do that without a warrant. They have no body cam or anything

Her charge was 3 years ago. She recently filed an EPO and left that part out entirely. I’m wondering why she left that out. Can she be charged again?
answered on Feb 5, 2023
An EPO taken out only talks about the facts of something that recently happened. A prior assault charge would not be brought up. An EPO is not a criminal charge. It’s a civil petition that’s taken out by a victim.

An EPO is a one-sided document with a statement taken only from the “victim” in the case. It would just be the words of your wife.

You cannot withdraw your plea unless it’s very close in time to the plea itself and before you are sentenced. The only option you would likely have after pleading guilty is what’s called an 11.42 motion. That’s ineffective assistance of counsel. You would have to prove that your counsel made... View More
The police knocked but the elderly resident (65 yr old woman with 0 priors) is in bathroom and takes longer than they like to answer. Hotel staff key door and allow cops in. First question is this legal? They then found (allegedly in plain view) drugs.
Question 2: resident was visiting for... View More

A person does not have a normal expectation of privacy in a hotel room like they would in their own home so the entry in scenario one sounds legitimate.
