you can sue the parents. You obviously forgot that police like politeness and deference and clearly they were tiring of your free speech. You want cooperation--listen. Maybe it shouldn't be that way, but you are over 21 and should know better.

My friend was pulled over and had half an ounce of marijuana, the cops did not arrest him but instead told him that in a week they are going to call him to set up a sting to catch his dealer. Is he required by law to go along with this sting? Could he be punished for not going along with it?
He needs to confer with a lawyer. This is often a ploy by the police to get the person to be an informant
No permission to search, found small tuperware container on backseat with "residue" found paraphilnia in trunk of car. Impounded to search further..wasnt allowed to have anything out of car. Reason for being pulled over changed...first was plexi glass side back window at 1am. Then it was... Read more »
If you were charged you need to get with an attorney who handles criminal cases in that county. If you weren't charged you need your car back. Then contact the pennsylvania civil liberties union, ask for the names of "cooperating attorneys" in your area. They usually will give free consults.
City near me has a self-guided walking tour map. Decided to do a new story on it and start it with a prison that was built in 1850. Prison is located in the middle of the city. I never left the city sidewalk, public easement and was trespassed from prison property by local police. Deputy sheriff... Read more »
The wiretap act has no application to video that I am aware of. Contact the Pennsylvania Civil Liberties Union--sounds like the type of case that they may be able to get a law school clinic to bring on your behalf.
I understand there are statute of limitations on actual criminal and civil cases in Pennsylvania but what type of limitation would apply for a police officer misconduct issue against a police officer which would not fall under an actual crime but under a police department’s own policy?

Not clear what the issue is. However you have to look at it two ways--even if it is not something they'd normally charge or sanction someone for committing is it something that can be raised to deny a promotion or assignment?

Officer gave a warning for improper plates during the stop but it is listed as a charge on my summons
Likely not - no requirement that you be issued a ticket at the traffic stop. A summons can be sent to you by mail, and that's permissible as long as it's filed with the court within 30 days of the offense.
There are a number of ways to challenge subject matter jurisdiction in maritime cases. One of these is raising the issue of location, in terms of whether an accident took place on navigable waters.

You should meet with an attorney in person to discuss this. I'm not sure where a civil rights violation comes into play but I'm sure you'll have more information to present if you meet with someone in person.
Yes. And presuming that you're referring to speedy trial rights when you say "the 180 day rule."
I missed jury selection,my lawyer told me he was rescheduling it.now judge issued bench warrant will not lift it and wants to out me in jail.i have hearing to dismiss my charges but if I show up he will lock me up what do I do?
Talk to your lawyer
Not if they are asking if you need special allowances made. I wouldn't start off the examination for a profession by looking to sue the examiners. Suggest you contact a Mental Health Law Project and ask them.

Property was seized from home over a month ago. The search warrant was issued based on false, misleading and theoretical evidence. No charges have been filed.
How do I petition for return of property and dismissal(quash, invalidate) of the warrant?
Your best bet is to hire an attorney, and have him/her contact the police to find out what their intentions are with the property seized, and whether they intend to file any charges.
If you'd like to discuss this matter further, I do practice in Bucks County. Feel free to contact me... Read more »

If you can show there was an injury. Technically you do, but whether it's worth bringing depends on whether there was an injury. Contact an attorney for the county where it happened.
