I rented a Uhaul truck from a facility and paid for it in full, and then on my drive home I was followed by police, pulled over, and then had 6 cop cars swarm me and demand i get out at gunpoint. I was detained, placed into handcuffs, read Miranda rights, and then told the truck was stolen. I did... View More

You may have a defamation or false arrest claim. Either UHaul should not have reported that particular truck as stolen, or the police stopped the wrong truck (if there was another truck that was stolen and reported as such). Hard to tell who the actual legal claim is against, but you likely do... View More

If the firearm is evidence in the case for some reason (it doesn't sound like it, but for example, someone might also be charged with unlawful carry in addition to DUI), then they'll hang on to it for at least as long as the case stays pending in court. But if not, then they should be... View More
What I was trying to say and not so many words is I got charged with the drugs but there's no charge or fines or tickets if anything to do with the truck how can they hold it

If someone set you up and you have no criminal intent then you should be morally and legally blameless. You should consult with a criminal lawyer in your state to discuss further specifics.
Person breaks into my house and steals my belongings steals my car vandalizes my other car and physically assaults my girlfriend can I have him arrested

Yes, absolutely. Your pending charges have nothing to do with you being the victim of a crime.
You should immediately contact the police agency in the jurisdiction in which your home is located. They will begin the criminal investigation process, and take the next steps from there.
Best.

Peaceful picketing is probably governed by local ordinance. But the community you live in is a private organization, and you would have to read all the rules and regulations and the bylaws, basically all there is to read about the community, it is not the government. The Constitution applies to the... View More
