Claiming to be the next of kin on legal documents when you are not is indeed a form of fraudulent misrepresentation. This act can have serious legal implications, especially when it leads to the wrongful acquisition of property or rights, such as in the case of claiming a deceased person’s body... View More

Generally, it's the state requesting extradition that's responsible for the pickup and costs. In this case, it sounds like Michigan is requesting this person back, and the signed papers waiving extradition. Now it's a wait-and-see game.

No, it would generally not be legal or ethical for guardianship to be granted to someone who has violent felons living in or frequently visiting the home where an incapacitated adult or ward of court resides. There are several issues here:

I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing in getting your grievances properly investigated. It must be incredibly frustrating when serious concerns are not addressed by the authorities.

No, not every page of the affidavit for a search warrant needs to be signed by a judge or magistrate. Typically, the law enforcement officer who prepares the affidavit will sign each page to verify the information provided. This ensures that all the details supporting the warrant request are...

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Police officers generally need reasonable suspicion to make a traffic stop. If you didn't commit a traffic violation but the officer believed you might have information related to an ongoing investigation, they may have grounds to stop you.... View More

Make a motion in your criminal case to unseal it or just get a copy of your report. However first talk to your lawyer as it might affect your criminal case.

Yes, it is a thing. See MCL 800.33. It's rarely successful but perhaps worth a try. The times I've seen it work are when there are verifiable exceptional circumstances well beyond "I've been good in jail".

IF he actually contacts the police, the police will likely either try contacting you to see what you have to say or may decide not to pursue criminal charges - in which case you may never hear about this again.

In Michigan, district court probation officers are part of the judicial branch, as they work directly for the district courts. The case law you referenced, People v.

There would not otherwise be a reason expressed in most cases. The prosecutor (or city attorney) can dismiss cases at any time without giving a reason.

Yes. Preferably through a prepared power of attorney form. But you might be putting the cart before the horse here; I would not anticipate any significant jail time on a first offense misdemeanor.

New charges? Unlikely. The court may issue a bench warrant though. I would suggest contacting the court to let them know you've been trying to turn yourself in, and keep trying to do so.

Months or years. It's not a fast process. And in the cases meriting success on appeal, you often times end up back in the trial court for further proceedings, which again takes time.

I would be more than happy to let someone review my recordings and determine if they believe I have the grounds for a civil lawsuit or any other type of lawsuit.

It could be difficult for attorneys here to offer their services to review your recordings. The format is basic Q & A - attorneys can't offer their services. One option is to reach out to attorneys independently - that would be outside the forum. Good luck
