Based on the situation you described, it seems there might be a valid concern regarding the legality of the search conducted on you and the rest of the vehicle.
In general, law enforcement officers need probable cause to search your person or your vehicle without a warrant. Probable cause... View More

The search of you certainly could not be based upon a KOPS alert for your friend. They certainly could arrest him under the circumstances, but it is unclear why they searched you and what law enforcement found when they did. It is also unclear why they searched the vehicle. For example, they... View More

the previous owner gave me incorrect information when purchasing a boat from him and the wrong title. I previously had a zoon hearing on 6/13, but the judge said I did not have the right paperwork submitted and would not give further information.

It's seems odd the judge wouldn't give you some idea what was lacking. Without more information is difficult to determine what is needed. Most attorneys can assist you with this matter.

I do not know the full circumstances of the situation and cannot answer your question specifically. Generally speaking, a warrant has to state with particularity the items to be searched and seized. The police must request a warrant signed by a neutral third party (i.e., judge or magistrate) unless... View More

If the police obtained a search warrant specifically for stolen items and they found other items during the search, such as bullets and paraphernalia, it may be possible for them to charge you for those additional items if they believe they are illegal or violate any other laws. However, whether or... View More

Because Minnesota Statutes §609.735 CONCEALING IDENTITY, appears to make wearing a mask "to prevent spread of disease" (as opposed to "medical treatment"), in public, a crime; I would challenge any attempt to enforce an "executive order" to the contrary. I've... View More

Yes, there are lawyers that have experience and are capable of fighting government entities. It's unfortunate (and odd) the someone you know who practices criminal law can help you find someone.

No, a person with a 609.72.1 conviction for disorderly conduct alone will not cause you to forfeit your Second Amendment rights to own a firearm. If you don't have any other convictions (especially felony convictions) you should still be eligible to have a firearm.

That would depend upon whether they had reason to believe that the fugitive named in the arrest warrant was in the home. The Minnesota arrest warrant would be based upon the out-of-state warrant.

You cannot legally drive without a license. So you will get ticketed, fined and perhaps even jailed if you drive without a license, especially if you do so repeatedly. Otherwise you can get a license and drive legally.

Have you contacted law enforcement to see about recovering your property? I would suggest that as a first step.
i entered the open line while the opposite line was closed at work zone in Faribault mn then police officer stop me and got picture on my driver license, said to me we will send you a ticket to you mail? is it a serious ticket or warning ?
answered on Aug 11, 2020
It sounds like the are citing you for something. They do not generally mail warnings to someone. You will likely receive a citation at the address on your license. It would be wise to speak to an attorney to see if you can keep this off of your record.
