Tennessee Federal Crimes Questions & Answers
Q: My daughter’s father and I have an established parenting plan. He comes and goes as he pleases and also does not pay
His child support. He also doesn’t have a place to live or a car. He was arrested for a felony drug charge recently. Is that enough to file a request to stop visits or ask for supervised visits?
Those are certainly reasons to be concerned, but since your question doesn't mention the age of the child ( and lots of other factors the Judge has to consider) no lawyer can provide a guaranteed result.

You have made a serious mistake. The Court tried to not destroy your life with some type of Diversion, but you violated it.

Q: I was convicted of a bank robbery in 2005, I would like to know is there anyway to get my gun rights back even though
My crime was federal.
The normal answer is no. There is an ATF Regulation that sometimes grants ownership of a specific firearm, but it is almost never granted, and never upon a violent firearm criminal conviction. A competent NRA lawyer can advise you of your weapon options.
Q: Research for mock trial: is there any law stating one cannot park a vehicle on the side of a highway if it can move?
In my case, the defendant hit a motorbike supposedly parked on the side of a highway or going very slowly in the middle of the highway based on various sources. Is there a law stating that the motorcyclist should not of been parked there in the first place?
Isn't this a violation of the Honor Code? Aren't you supposed to do your own research?

Q: I am charged with manufacture, delivery, resale of methamphetamine for 3.5 grams belonging to anther co defendant. How?
How am I responsible for his scales when he said the meth and scale were his? And how is it manufacture deliver resale when it's only 3.5 g in a single bag with no intention of selling and no proof of deliver or manufacture?
Rarely do cops charge Simple Possession. They and the DA's want Felony Charges. Either they think you are in business with the Co-Defendant or you were in constructive possession of all incriminating items. Hire a competent attorney now, and prepare for a good Preliminary Hearing.
