drugs found in a pill bottle in a purse and make up bag. I was the passenger of the vehicle and the driver had 2 Xanax on him. The car was mine. The needle cap is not in evidence.

Had to say without reviewing the complete record of the stop and what else was going on with the driver. May be ripe for a motion to suppress. The fact the car was yours doesn't necessarily mean anything since you weren't driving.
I used to work for the City of Detroit, I had two emergency surgeries in May 2020, one to amputate my left foot and another surgery the next day to amputate my left leg below the knee due to contracting a flesh-eating bacteria that was progressing rapidly and was life threatening.

Best thing to do would be to call your local legal aid office and let them tell you whether it's something they would accept.
Generally, legal aid offices do not take "fee generating" cases. Think cases that lawyers would typically take on a contingency fee basis; yours is... Read more »
Must staff make an effort to guide each student to safety? What if a false alarm is the source of the fire emergency? May the teacher or parapro leave a disabled student in a precarious position during a false alarm?

A MIchigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There probably is case law, but maybe not on the level of specificity described in your post. You might find a greater level of detail in standard operating procedures for the district or the school - manuals for... Read more »

Get a lawyer as soon as possible regarding the house auction. There should be a court file number, and documents may indicate a lawyer who represents the bondsman, whom you should contact regarding payment.
As to the car, it's likely as part of the bond contract, you signed over title... Read more »

Probably. And your doctor / hospital may refuse to perform the surgery.
She also has the owner of Galesburg speedway aka my cousin here trying to expose any and every thing he can ever dig up convince people to lie about or whatever to harass me for my religious beliefs.

I do not believe there is anyone to report this to. If you are a minor, and in your grandmother's care, then you should talk with an adult at your school. If you are an adult, then you need to make a decision as to whether this relationship is worthwhile or beneficial. You can choose to... Read more »

You should contact your county's legal aid office. If you've been served and have a court date, the court will probably already have someone from legal aid ready to assist you for the subsequent hearing.

You should contact Detroit police. Frankly, I'm not sure what they are going to do with a three year old complaint.

You can file a grievance with that FOC office.
Remember, the evaluation is more or less an opinion, and you have the opportunity to object to that opinion and have a judge hear your case. You have the opportunity then to show the judge the FOC person got it wrong. Judge may or may not... Read more »

Claims of religious beliefs can be tested for sincerity. That is the case with conscientious objector status in the military.

Are you charged with a crime? If not, and it wasn't actually your phone, I don't know if there is anything you can do about this. If you are charged with a crime, I suggest you let your attorney address this.
i have been going back and forth with 7th circut court to have a copy of judgment re sent to mi state police i have even sent a certified copy of judgment myself to mi state police and still nothing is being done. what can i do to resolve this issue.

Honestly, not much else you can do. MSP is backed up dealing with expungments. If the court sent the order and you did as well, the issue is with MSP, and unfortunately for you, they will process it when they can.
miranda rights were read after statement was given.
answered on Jun 20, 2022
Yes. Miranda rights apply when there is custody AND interrogation. Often times, police will "invite" you down to the station to talk with them, and will say something to the effect of "you're free to go anytime but we really hope you'll stay because we just want to hear... Read more »
Besides this assault charge from 2014 and a 1-5 over speeding ticket I have no record. Today(6/7/2022) I went to purchase a firearm and the background check was “delayed”. I’m just wondering when or even if I will be allowed to purchase and own a firearm. State of Michigan.
answered on Jun 8, 2022
You should be allowed to purchase firearms with a misdemeanor UNLESS it's a form of domestic violence. The delay is likely to fact-check that.

No, police don't need to hear or listen to your side of the story. Take what the cop said for what it is: a warning. Now you know, if you didn't before, that woman doesn't want anything to do with you, so don't call, text, write, draw pictures, or anything else about her.
I attend a private christian college (Cornerstone University) in Grand Rapids MI who has bi-weekly chapels (like a christian lecture/sermon thing). Normally 15 of these are required a semester but if you have a work conflict you can be excused. I do have a work conflict, but recently they added the... Read more »

Your general sense would be right if you were attending a public school. You are attending a private, religious school. I would assume not paying the fines, and certainly continuing to not attend or watch chapel services, will eventually result in the school asking you to leave. The school has... Read more »

I assume you contacted the police? If so, you'll probably need a copy of the police report to show fraud on any of your financial accounts. Other than that, let the police do what they do.

It doesn't sound like unlawful imprisonment when a probation officer acted under color of law (e.g. alleged probation violation) to arrest you.
answered on Apr 20, 2022
You can try....not sure what the police can or will do, and whether the prosecutor will have enough evidence to charge anyone. A defense attorney could eat that up that you waited so long to report.
