If the warrant was generated before your parole expired then technically it could still be a valid warrant and you need to appear and get it taken care of.

Right before the background check. You also might want to think about expunging that misdemeanor from your record so this is not an issue in the future.

It depends if they had probable cause. If they had reason to believe you all were engaged in criminal activity well before you got pulled over when you got pulled over then they may have a right to do what they did. If this was in Louisville they likely have body cam and will show exactly how they... View More
The judge revoked this person’s probation but stated the lawyer can file a motion for shock after 30 days. The judge also sent paper work over for this person to be evaluated for drug court, does that mean the judge is considering shock?

Technically it could be considered criminal trespass in the third degree if there are clear signs that this is private property or that you are in a housing development or section 8. If you were not charged by the police you likely don’t have anything to worry about.
