Your current state is Virginia
The short answer is no, however, if prior arrangements are made with the city or town to have a police escort then most likely it would be yes.
Based on the limited facts, any admiralty/maritime issues involved were not clear.

Local building inspector entered unoccupied private property without permission of owner or a warrant and take pictures to use as evidence in a civil procedure?
Can Camara v. Municipal Court (1967) or Mapp v. Ohio (1961) be cited to have the pictures deemed inadmissible?
Municipalities have wide latitude to enact building codes and enforce them for the benefit of public safety.
If the home is condemned or has other immediate safety issues, the city should have tagged the property and also sent out letters to the owners, based upon the owners' registered... Read more »
I was referring to what are Dept. vehicles with no obvious markings and regular plates.
Absolutely. Many Law Enforcement Officers drive their own vehicles all the time, and still conduct stops and enforce laws. They may show a badge or activate their lights, or just follow you until you stop.
I went to go look at my charges and they have them listed like that and one of the charges doesn't have an case number {inditemsnt number}. What does this all mean?
If you are looking at the charges on the public index it is more likely than not that one is an entry from bond court/prelim court which is in magistrate court and the second entry is the actual pending charge in general sessions court.
and how long would he have
He would probably go to prison. How long depends on how it’s charged, what evidence there is, and who the judge is.
At bottom of ticket, it states "no signature required pursuant to 32-1-4(a)", but that code appears to be stating that the violator would be deemed to have given a written Bond to appear, not waiving officers' need to sign the complaint. Violated Montg. Municipal Ord. 1-9 adopted 32-6-65
This was posted under Admiralty/Maritime, but I was unable to find anything under maritime laws pertaining to the listed statute(s). It looks like it involves violation of a Montgomery Municipal Ordinance. Consult with an Alabama attorney, as it probably requires a prompt response/appearance where... Read more »

I was arrested in the hospital for the charges of disorderly conduct/fighting ARS 13-2904A.1, I Subpeoned hospital staff involved directly in my care as witnesses for my defense.
Attorney for the hospital is going to argue in court today to have those Quashed. On what legal basis?
Without seeing the motion or hearing the argument it is impossible to say with certainty, but I can give you an example of a possible argument: damage to the hospital if forced to comply. The hospital could argue that calling their employees to testify could place hospital policies and procedures... Read more »
No. You may not contact the judge. It is extremely inappropriate.
If you're the one accused and you are asking to have someone's letter on your behalf not be considered by the judge, you're going to have to talk to your attorney about it. If you're representing yourself, stop what you're... Read more »
Justice system( court houses) and All day towing. Is there any way that you guys can help me find a pro bono attorney that is willing to fight for me. I went to Legal Aid in Hayward courthouse and they told me they cannot help me because I have a big case
Contact the County Bar Association in your county and ask for their lawyer referral service to request they refer you to a lawyer who can assist you with your case. You may not find someone to help you pro bono, but if you have a good case you won't have too much trouble finding a good lawyer to... Read more »
"Public" libraries are usually represented by a lawyer that works for the city or county that owns the library.
Apparently being pro se and trying to rescedule court on further hearing activated a warrant and upon my arrest it was without my appearance a bond was set two days later but i wasnt notified in jail for 6 days. Originally out on own recognance, seems it was staged for cash bond
There isn't enough information to answer. It could be. It is common for a party to sign a paper with the next hearing date when released. Sometimes people don't even remember or really notice the hearing date when they sign this. This isn't mandatory and there are also other ways for a notice... Read more »
During heavy rains, the small storm drain in front of my house gets overwhelmed and water backs up indoors. The city cleaned ditches for me once; the next time I contacted them they ignored me. This is not a flood zone at all. This is a miserable situation. Is the city responsible? If not, who? I... Read more »
One option you could try is to contact a member of your local government for your district, maybe a city council member or someone along those lines. If the situation you describe is something that other residents in the vicinity are also experiencing, it's possible that an elected official might... Read more »

It all depends on the Sheriffs. Different counties have different policies. However, you may want to just check with TX and see when they are going to pick him up first. Because if they make a promise to pick him up he may not be released in 14 days.

I'm going to a scout camp in WV, and want to bring my victorinox (swiss army knife). We're flying to New York LGA. Therefore i was wondering if i'd be allowed to bring it?
NO that is not legal at all, especially flying into an airport. I really do not know what you thinking.
Even after asking them to stop they still kept turning around on my driveway. I waited as long as I could, and now it's destroyed. I want to know my rights before I go and meet with them.
You may be able to seek a remedy if you are able to prove that the damage was caused almost entirely from the plows and no other use or condition. That seems like a pretty high burden of proof.

Sounds like you should retain counsel.
I fired two shots inside my house 9mm.
