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.
i was reported for harassment yesterday. when all i did was text a women asked if i could talk to her husband because she wouldnt let me. not even a couple hours later a cop showed up and told me to call a different cop. the cop didnt ask me anything just said that if i go near her or her house i...

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.
Hello, a few years ago I was on probation. An officer came to my home and arrested me on an alleged probation violation. I was taken to the local county jail, processed booked and placed in a holding cell. An hour or less goes by, they come and tell me I'm being released. Someone made a... Read more »

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.
I slightly altered from the cross walk and cut the curb but as I was getting accused I pointed out another doing the same. They jailed me for jaywalking but questioned/detained me for suspicion of a drug transaction at the gas station across from where I was stopped

No. Someone else doing a crime is no defense. If you have concerns about police conduct, you should start by filing a complaint with the arresting department.

Suppose my 17/18 year old son is pulled over by a police officer and the officer suspects use/possession of THC or nicotine and asks to search the vehicle. Keep in mind there is a locked container in the trunk of the vehicle.
Scenario 1: my son denies permission for a search. Does the... Read more »

A proper search is premised on either a warrant exception (e.g., for vehicles, that is usually "plain view"), a warrant with probable cause, or consent. The police are always free to ask for consent to search.
In both your scenarios, I could see the police confiscating the box; I... Read more »
If consent for a search is denied, but the officer has probable cause, are locked containers in the trunk subject to search? What if the key is not available to unlock the container?

answered on Mar 5, 2022
Search challenges are fact-dependent. No real way to say "yay" or "nay" without seeing the reports and knowing what the container was and what the police had reason to look for.
My hours have been cut since I don't respond to their advances. There is no HR Dept. I'm unsure what to do about it..besides job hunting. Who can help me?

You're in a tough spot. Is there a state-level office you could contact? You might want to start there.
Violations of 2nd,4th,6th and 8th under the bill of rights. Illegal search and seizure, destroying evidence, dereliction of duty, excessive force and death threats and much more.

answered on Feb 14, 2022
Police, courts, and prosecutors have various levels of governmental immunity that makes it extremely hard to sue them without a clear and very intentional violation.

If you were an employee, maybe this is a wage and labor issue?
My fiance is in jail in Michigan for a crime committed there. He's in the COVID quarantine pod and has missed his probable cause hearing twice, another man in the pod missed his 5 times, although he's no longer positive for COVID. Is this a violation of his right to a speedy trial?

answered on Jan 27, 2022
No, but there may be other actionable problems here. Generally, there is a right to have the actual preliminary examine within 21 days of arraignment unless waived, or upon "good cause" by the court.

Is it true establishing that a positive genetic test is a conclusive method of determining paternity, if certain conditions are met and without requiring a court determination?

answered on Jan 13, 2022
For legal purposes? You cannot establish paternity without court order, unless you are married to the mother at the time, or you both sign an acknowledgement of paternity.
