Yes this is legal. Weed had to be sent to Baton Rouge for testing. Hire a criminal lawyer.

Hire a traffic court lawyer in that Parish to represent you and you dont even have to appear.
I was issued a speeding ticket in Tangipahoa Parish. The trooper put the incorrect time, 1045 instead of 945, and also the wrong registration expiration year, 2021 instead of 2022. Am I able to contest the ticket as voidable for inaccurate information?
answered on May 26, 2021
You can contest it for that reason and it is up to the Judge to decide if that makes the entire ticket suspect.

While traveling (California), I saw an article about speeding tickets and things most people don't know about them. It stated that an out of date speed study/survey for the road the speed citation was issued on was grounds to have it dismissed. Is this the case in Louisiana also? Thank you in... View More
I missed the court date for all 3 of these. They are all in different parishes in Louisiana. What can I do to fix this? I have since paid my ticket and gotten my license reinstated
answered on May 9, 2021
You need to hire traffic court lawyers to handle those tickets and recall the attachments because you will be arrested and your license will be suspended again.

I called the D.A.'s office, and was informed that my fine would be $232 by the date on my ticket. Even with a first offense that would be my fine. Is the information on this site accurate in 2021?
answered on Apr 27, 2021
I am not sure where you saw this on this site, but I do not see how you can violate this and law enforcement be required to issue you a warning the first time. That said, the statute does say that there must be appropriate signs or markings to indicate the beginning and end of the no passing zones.
Coming to an intersection with a green light there were cars accelerating slowly so I decided to change to the right lane to pass, I glanced to the right side mirror ensuring is was safe to merge and started making the change. When I got my eyes back forward the vehicle in front of me was slamming... View More

1) the passing lane is on the left, not the right,
2) notify your insurance company so that they can represent you in the personal injury case when you get sued...and you will be sued,
3) hire a traffic court lawyer to represent you on your ticket.

It depends on the employers policies and procedures, and hopefully, it is contained within a written policy and procedure manual. Of course, the employee should have the right to dispute this with his employer and with the court should the employee desire to do so.

Hire a criminal attorney. You omitted the citation on your posted question.

I sympathize with you. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to find out your new court date, however what steps you took may assist you in getting in fee/charges associated with the warrant for your missed court date--that is up to the discretion of the Judge. Your reference to receiving a... View More
The school sells two types of parking spaces, reserevd and not reserved. The not reserved spots are $15 for a parking tag, and they can park anywhere in the parking lot except for the reserved spaces. I bought a reserved spot for $50. This means that I own this spot from 7:30am-3:30pm. Someone... View More

Quite frankly, in all likelihood law enforcement or tow companies will not mess with this----you really need to get the school to enforce and take action against the offender.
I was stopped at an inspection sticker stop and given a non-moving for expired inspection sticker and no proof of insurance, but the vehicle isn't mine. Will I be held liable regardless of ownership?
DMV keeps telling me under the liability compulsory laws I am expected to have insurance even if my vehicle is in storage. But isn't that if vehicle was involved in an accident?
answered on Mar 3, 2021
No unless wheels removed and up on blocks (immobilized) you must have insurance. If unauthorized driver was ticketed for a moving violation, you will also have your license suspended until you sell the car or you get insurance.
The law says I am not responsible for an unauthorized driver but DMV insist that I'm responsible for it not having insurance

Your attorney can file an action with an administrative law court.
I was uninsured during the accident and was at fault. I cant pay the amount in full but it was sent to a collections. I want a letter saying it's been handled & I'm paying for it overtime....I need it to present to the judge.
