I wanted to know if i would go to jail if the crosswalk sign said to stop and i passed but the traffic light told the car to go almost hitting me. I dont know if this makes any sense...

No one goes to jail for most traffic offenses (other than leaving the scene or reckless driving in some states).
If someone is in the crosswalk traffic has to stop. If no one is in it and traffic has a green light they may proceed.

I have text history of giving him this money but I’m not sure if that’s considered legitimate evidence. This man continuously ghosts me everytime after he promised he would get it to me.
answered on Jul 5, 2021

It could sometimes require a considerable level of evaluation to determine whether negligence rises to the level of criminal negligence. This appears to be a complex case and would likely require detailed... View More

Many of the things you say lead us to believe that your situation is quite unusual, and for that reason you really need to speak with an immigration attorney so s/he can advise you on your options based on your particular circumstances.

Assuming that this is a serious question, we recommend a review of New York Consolidated Laws, Penal Law - PEN § 155.05 where "Larceny" is defined.

Consult weit your defense attorney. They can contact the officer and likely help iron out any issues if the law isn't being followed.
If you cant get in touch with them you can either hire a private attorney or contact a free service.

Can they now fix the immigration statues? Now that they are 18 ?
answered on Aug 9, 2020
More information is needed. The facts are unclear, but you suggest that there is a final order of removal/deportation. This significantly complicates matters.
There are risks. Did you just turn18 years old? What, if any, form of relief is available? A series of other facts still remain... View More

So i was indicted with two felony counts to misdemeanor counts but was tried and convicted of three counts of each?
answered on Jun 15, 2020
Unfortunately, it is difficult to answer your complex questions without more information about your case, the trial and the indictment. If your rights were in fact violated, that could be an issue for appeal. Again, a more thorough review of your case would be necessary.
I even have this as proof in texts from him. Now months later after a fight he's trying to say I committed fraud. If I have the texts as proof that he willingly gave permission , then I'm in the clear , correct ?

First of all, this is not a Family Law question. it is a Criminal Law question. As for whether you are "in the clear", that depends. If you used his card with his permission, as he dictated, then you may have a defense. No one but your attorney, who would review the facts, can make a... View More
