Here's the better question: is that the only basis the police had for the search? Even if it was an illegal search, illegality will not be found just because you want it to be found. Instead, you will need to compose, file, and argue a successful motion - which is difficult for any... View More

You likely need the squad car video to determine if there was an illegal search and seizure under the US Constitution. Even if there was, you cannot simply orally tell the judge about the issue - you have to make a motion, which is difficult to do if you're not an attorney.

If the judge ordered it, then yes. However, you have the right to a bond review hearing.

You should likely try to negotiate something called a deferred imposition of sentence if at all possible.
I ddnt hv ins and i wsnt drunk but smelled like alcohol. Recklesd driving was my ticket

When I am helping clients fight trucking accidents, the first thing I ask is which party was liable. Being cited for reckless driving does NOT mean you will necessarily lose your case. The best way to determine if you have a claim is to call an attorney like myself who handles injury cases.

Hard to tell. In North Dakota, you can serve a lawsuit and file it later. So you could be sued before the person or company suing you files it with the court.

A defensive driving course can take points off your license. However, this will not get your DUI-related suspension reduced. Your best bet may be to get a temporary restricted license while you're waiting to be eligible for renewal.

No, probable cause is a standard for law enforcement rather than Walmart employees. Further, probable cause is the standard to make an arrest or obtain a warrant. In your scenario, neither is occurring. The phrase you might be looking for is "reasonable suspicion."

You should file a police report. If there is a criminal case filed against them or a juvenile case, it will likely come along with an order prohibiting contact. Otherwise, you'd need to go to the courthouse and request a restraining order.

This is something on which a North Dakota attorney attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. For insurance matters, most every state has a department of insurance. Situated in Bismarck, there is the North Dakota Insurance Department. Good luck
