Meaning is that legal for him to be sitting there? Does law enforcement need permission to be parked in driveway of private property in Ohio? Also was half mile from where limit posted I would have been legal. And I had no traffic, clear road conditions

It is legal for anyone to enter a drive way and sit there so long as the owner doesn’t show up and ask you to leave. If you were to disobey, you would become a trespasser. Even if the sheriff shouldn’t have been there, it has nothing to do with the fact that you were speeding just like the fact... View More 
He may have given his name also I do not know this yet I don't want my other son to be in trouble can you help me
answered on Aug 12, 2021
Yes, that can be an additional criminal charge. I suggest sitting down with a criminal defense attorney in your area to discuss. Keep in mind that attorneys cannot solicit or contact you directly, you will need to initiate contact.
Best of luck.

Refusing to sign the ticket does not change things. You still need to either pay the ticket or dispute it,
I got a ticket on a freeway for going 19 over. Then got pulled over a few days later doing 19 over on a business road. My second one is first and I’m wondering if the first ticket will show up on record since it doesn’t have a verdict yet. Also, what is the best way to go about going to court.... View More

You should speak with an attorney to represent you as both of these tickets likely carry at least two points. An attorney may be able to knock down the moving violations. Are both tickets issued by the same municipality? I'd assume not, but it would be worth knowing. As to your question, open... View More
Do I have to go get the ticket or can I have them send it to me
answered on Jul 16, 2021
You probably do not have to go get the ticket but depending on the seriousness of the charge and the law enforcement's attitude, they will either go to your residence and issue you the ticket or perhaps take you into custody. You have not indicate the charge, but you may want to get an... View More

Many police departments have memoranda of understanding extending police powers from neighboring cities. So if they did, it is very likely that they can though it may be an issue worth exploring.

They will make you get a valid license and insurance and pay a fine unless its an OVI suspension, in which case it could be include some jail days. You should consult with an attorney in person or over the phone.

Generally that's construction sites, but a city or state certainly could pass a law increasing fines on holidays.
Is it because they never showed for traffic court?
answered on Jun 9, 2021
Most likely yes. Failing to appear for a Court hearing can result in that.
I wasn't speeding or anything pulled over cop said license were suspended wrote a ticket and left
answered on May 25, 2021
What is your question? It's not uncommon for people with suspended licenses to be pulled over even when not breaking any traffic laws because the officer ran the plates and discovered the suspension.
I was stopped behind another car at a 4 way stop heading North.After the car in front of me went across the road,I proceeded to move up to the stop sign when another car heading West was coming to a stop about the same time I was stopping for second time.I waited for her to go across but she...

It sounds like a defensible case. For a definitive answer you're going to need to sit down with an attorney to review the facts in detail and figure out the best game plan. Sometimes these issues continue on if the other driver tries to sue you civilly.
They were driving a rental car. They were pulled over for the tags not matching the car. I understand that only registration has to match the plates. 3 state highway troopers pulled them over and 1 had a dog. They said the dog hit on the car. Was that legal even though the reason they were pulled... View More

Unfortunately, then answer is, it depends. If the officers acted in good faith and the information they had would have established sufficient grounds for a traffic stop, it will likely be upheld by the Court. Ultimately, that's an issue that would need to be raised in a Motion to Suppress.... View More
So I was driving in Mayfield to go get my shot for covid. I didn't want to be late so I was going a bit faster than I should (confident it was 40 in a 35, maybe 42). There was a officer in a drive facing the road so I slowed down to 36. He pulls out and follows behind me for a few minutes till... View More

I think you are overthinking it. He would have pulled you over, if he was going to give you a ticket.
I have appeared 1 time to plead NG. The court set a 2nd date for plea/trial. I appeared again ready for trial but was only given yet ANOTHER court date. Is this legal?
answered on May 19, 2021
There is no set standard. It depends on where you are, the exact charge, underlying facts, presiding judge etc. Maybe 2-3, maybe 7-8. From what you describe, it sounds like the prosecuting agency requested a continuance of the trial. That is legal. For a more detail analysis of your situation... View More

When you say dus, are you referring to driving under a suspension? For any charge, the state has the burden of proof. If they lack the evidence to prove that you were driving it sounds like you need to fight the charge. Doing this by yourself can be very difficult. I recommend finding a... View More
Reports or witnesses statements. How can I view them for my defense?
Yes I never knew he didn't have his license. This makes no sense to me why not just take the test follow the rules. Young and wild. He bought a car with extra COVID relief $$ and was able to add to the insurance we have Progressive. Please any advice would be greatly appreciated to help me... View More

I seriously doubt the insurance company is going to pay anything since one of the conditions in their contracts is only licensed drivers.
I was given a seat belt ticket told i had a suspended license the suspend license was thrown out as I proved my license Wasnt suspended and that suspension had been lifte

Your question is difficult to follow. But, cases are very often dismissed at defendant's cost, which can result in an outstanding bill even for a dismissed case.
I am 17 and haven’t had any other violations before. It has been 18 days since receiving the ticket
answered on Feb 2, 2021
Given the issues with USPS, I would call the Municipal Court Clerk to see if any date has been set.
In Cleveland they recently made it known (through a flyer attached to my ticket) that I can plead guilty and not get any points as opposed to pleading no contest and getting points on my license. It was for not making a complete stop at a stop sign.
answered on Feb 2, 2021
It sounds like they are offering you to plead to a lesser offense, such as a non-moving violation. If you receive enough points, your license may be suspended and your insurance rates may go up, or you may be dropped by your carrier. You should speak to an attorney about your specific case, but I... View More
