My dad's car was taken for driving on revoked from a 2nd DUI he got in 2007, they never charged him & the police drove off in his car, is that legal??
answered on Sep 29, 2022
If no charge was made by the LEO's, and no Forfeiture Warrant was issued, then it is an unlawful taking. But did Dad own the vehicle? I suspect more occurred here than what facts are stated. Driving on Revoked TNDL may be a charge in the making, which can take 1 year to initiate. The owner... Read more »

You probably need an attorney in India. But read the lease first to see if there are exceptions to the maintenance fee requirements.

A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could depend on what your matter involves.

Tennessee is a one party recording state. If the cameras are on his property and otherwise in public, then he can pretty much aim them anywhere. You may have a civil claim for invasion of privacy (statutory and common law) depending on needing more facts. Consult local counsel to see what, if any,... Read more »

Hire an attorney to go to Court, Docket or not, and handle the entire problem at once.

Yes...You are on Probation so you have to abide by the Probation terms. Any violation can mean you could be incarcerated for the remainder of the Sentence. There should be some kind of Probation Order in your file at Court. Read it.

Possible misdemeanor vandalism or littering. But it would not be worth the trouble of being a witness/victim in Court.

There should be an inventory in the Return on the Search Warrant. It is very possible there will be a Forfeiture Warrant issued against any proceeds from illegal activities.

Not sure of your "Court" fraud, but a Governmental Tort Liability Action is 1 year from injury. Probably any other applicable cause of action will also be 1 year, except some property torts are 3 years.

No, you have to abide by the PO's requests. You could go to Court and move for a Modification of your Probation Order. But I do not recommend it.
And what to put in the lawyer section if I'm defending myself
answered on Apr 3, 2022
That would be "Pro Se". But most of the time you should not represent yourself. I recommend calling around for competent attorneys who might be creative in getting compensated. You might call around in other Counties in your District and ask for possible referrals.

Yes. You can sue. But not having a contract for a loan may enable them to a decent defense. Consult counsel to determine your options.

You need to hire an attorney to tell you what the consequences are. This is a public forum, and it is always the State's case, not the victim's.
He has asthma and was trying to make a doctors appointment to see if he needed to be back on profile. And one of his seargent said no one is getting back on profile. Basically saying he can't make a doctors appointment. One of them while smoking him said I hope you have an asthma attack.

If he is in the Military, then he volunteered to take orders and train, including fighting if necessary. The Army is not that tough these days so I am sure it is not that bad. UCMJ applies, not TN/Federal law.
