I am looking specifically for the laws/regulations that the Maryland BSWE must follow when investigating a complaint against a social worker. I am also looking for the personal rights of respondents involved in complaint investigations through the board of social work.

You should get a certified copy of your driving record and probation before judgment record. It will show all convictions and PBJ's. Only moving violations should reset the provisional license. If you have no moving violations, go back to the MVA and speak with a supervisor.
Further what licenses and permits do I require to operate as computer peripherls and equipment supplier with the state of MD?

This is a fairly complex question that does not have a straightforward answer. You will certainly need to be licensed and compliant with all of the appropriate governing bodies in your field. Outside of that, there could be additional licensing or qualifications required to contract with a... View More

its a bit complicated, the car title and tags are in my name, the person I had an agreement with has disappeared and I can't locate the car. I don't want to be responsible for the expenses if the car is towed to the county lot.
answered on Mar 15, 2024
Unless the agreement included a date the person was to return the car back to you, and they deliberately failed to do so with the intent to deprive you of the vehicle, then there is no crime to report (theft or unauthorized use of a motor vehicle), so going to the police will not likely help,...

You cannot drive a motor vehicle without a validly issued state driver's license, or with an acceptable foreign driver’s license, but your freedom of movement is not restricted. Private businesses,... View More

You should not be charged for harboring a fugitive if you did not know he had a warrant. He should retain an attorney to represent him on the criminal charges or go to the Public Defender if he cannot afford private counsel.
