But I don't know what your custody/parenting time order says so that may or may not follow this general rule. You can always go to court and get a... Read more »

The bottom line is you cannot make this go away, only the District Attorney or the Judge can. It maybe that the D.A. will not pursue the case, particularly if you do not cooperate, but it is up to them. You can talk with your boyfriend's attorney to see if you can help with his defense but...

I don't want him in jail or fined.
Your question is a bit confusing. You have no legal obligation to report anything to the Police if you do not wish to. Once reported however, control of the matter is out of your hands and the district attorney will decide whether they wish to proceed with criminal charges (though they may have... Read more »
If it is not legal do them to do so is the evidence they locate admissible?
Yes
I marked no instead of yes. I turned it in and was denied. And then I had two officers tell me that they could arrest me for a simple mistake. They say I committed a crime of false swearing. I think it's ridiculous that they gave me a ticket and now I have court. Is there any way of me be able... Read more »
First tell them you didn't know it was "paid" instead of "payed."
Then retain a lawyer
You can only get a CHL under Oregon law if you have expunged those old felonies, or had a statutory restoration under ORS 166.274. Either of those options would restore your rights and allow you to obtain a CHL. Speak with a knowledgeable attorney about the process to get started.

We cannot recommend that you come to the US on either of those visas unless you have a legitimate claim to either one.
There is nothing that would necessarily keep you from coming on a K-1 visa, unless the crime for which might be convicted involved sexual abuse. If not, he can still file... Read more »
Boyfriend is getting out of Prison in Oregon on drug charges but p.o. is saying that we can't have contact untill he does class for domestic violence charge that happen in Wyoming with his ex wife in 2015 but was not convicted can they do that
Most likely yes. If he wants to get out of prison early, he must agree to comply with and be under the supervision of a parole officer. That officer has great latitude and authority to require his parolees to do a variety of things and certainly insisting upon the successful completion of... Read more »
Challenging a search warrant begins with a motion to suppress. The classic case that is nearing 30,000 citations from other cases in the country is Franks v. Delaware. Here is quote from that case.

Is my case dismissed or is there chance of secret indictment
No, your case is not likely dismissed. Some busy courts, like Lane County Circuit Court, run so late in getting the DUII cases on the docket, that defendants often show up and the District Attorney's Office isn't ready for the arraignment. In that situation, the case isn't on the... Read more »

I’m 16, and 30wks pregnant. I Smoked until about 28wks.
No, they won't take the baby away. You will also very likely test clean by the time you give birth.
A black powder gun counts as a firearm. "Firearm means a weapon, by whatever name known, which is designed to expel a projectile by the action of powder and which is readily capable of use as a weapon. "
It’s gone on for a long time. I definitely and obviously did not do this.
It's likely that you are completely in the clear. If the statute of limitations has passed without a charge being filed then that is the end of it. Rest easy.

I understand that corruption of blood bars a person from inheriting, retaining, or transmitting any estate, rank, or title; but I don't understand what is meant by work corruption of blood, or forfeiture. I'm hoping for a way to get a basic understanding of this.
