The affidavit of complaint is the charge and the bond is evidence of your being incarcerated. But why would you take a voluntary drug test? That will hurt any suit for a GTLA action under 18 USC §1983. You will have to identify the actual persons that did this, and you will have trouble... Read more »
for the gas and while he went into the store to pay for it the police stopped and searched and found drugs on him then they come and search my car is that legal or illegal because I just picked him up walking and he hit a very good pump my gas I didn't know what he had on him just because we...

If you were not charged with anything, then even if it was an illegal stop and search, it is not your concern. Without a charge there is no standing to do anything, unless You sue the LEO for a §1983 violation for which you have no damages.
The contractor refused to correct poor workmanship after his drainage system failed.
You would be wise to consult a local attorney versed in contract and construction law to review the issue. If the contractor is refusing to fix his work, you may need to consider filing a lawsuit to get appropriate relief.
My grandmother has a home, 2 mobile homes, and some land. My father was in line to receive a mobile home and the land it was on. My grandmother's husband died and 3 out of her 4 children died as well. Her last surviving child has a wife that I'm not sure intends to allow us to get what... Read more »
You are asking too many questions for this forum. The Grandmother's heirs will take the real property, which is probably her issue or if deceased, their issue. If she has a Son surviving, and the deceased children have kids, the Son takes a share and the Grandchildren take what their parent... Read more »
It is unclear to me whether the law prohibits everyone from carrying a handgun on their person or just people without a valid permit
Handgun Carry Permits allow a sidearm to be on your person except in certain areas. Many situations allow the possession of a handgun without a HCP. However any display of a weapon can be a felony assault without a situation putting you in fear of harm.
Thank you for your question. Unruly child means a child in need of treatment and rehabilitation who:
(i) Habitually and without justification is truant from school while subject to compulsory school attendance; or
(ii) Habitually is disobedient of the reasonable and lawful... Read more »
Unless you can lock them out, without a fight, you will probably need a competent attorney to prosecute an Unlawful Detainer Action in General Sessions Court.
I have a bill of sale but no title it is still registered to the previous owner
It is possible. Start putting together any witnesses to the gift. Hopefully the Bill of Sale is to you. But ownership of a vehicle is by Document of Title, which he apparently did not convey over to you. Be prepared to make bond and hire a competent attorney. If he does not swear out a... Read more »
I was never shown any test results but yet I was criminally charged. When I was arrested i never received a copy of the warrant either.I had to hire a attorney and which the case was dismissed. I called my attorney and got a copy of my file and still no test results or a copy of any arrest warrant.... Read more »
That is a Government Tort Liability Act case, which is complicated, non-jury, and has a 1 year SOL. Damages are statutorily capped. You will need a competent attorney to sue the LEO's and County. It is probably better to have an out of County lawyer. Time is probably getting close. I... Read more »
This person passed away on March 20, 2019.
Has the Will been Probated? Until a Probate Action is instituted, there is no Will nor Executor. If Probate is going on, then you need to check the file at Chancery Court. Read it verbatim. It generally takes at least 15 months to close a Probate in TN, and often much longer. You may wish... Read more »
Can I get a copy of her original birth certificate. She was born, resided and adopted in Tennessee.
It is doubtful whatever Order giving you custody will impress the Health Department. But it might, so take your Order to the Department and ask politely. Usually only immediate Family can get the Certificate. If necessary, call your local State Representative.
2 days ago n mcminn county jail tn the charge was failure to appear on a theft charge that the charge was 11/09/2002 19 years.
Your question is unclear. Did he still have an active warrant? Regardless of the statute of limitations issue, or other related issues, he would be wise to hire an attorney asap to review the case and see what options your boyfriend has.
Ideal image. My service date is in 3 weeks but I notice ideal image has already charged for services. That has me thinking now I want to cancel.
Read whatever contract you got. You may have a termination option. But even if you do, how are you going to get your money back? Jurisdiction is probably in another State. It appears that You might have an option with your own credit card, or you might cut your losses with canceling the card.... Read more »
The home belongs to her she was renting the lot the property owner has tossed all her belongings and is renting out the trailer she owns what do we need to do to reclaim her home?? Is it legal for them to take over her property to sale/rent?? McMinnville tennessee
If there is a written Lease, you will want to read it. Otherwise probably the simplest and most direct remedies are suing the Landowner in General Sessions Court for an Action To Recover Personal Property and Conversion. I recommend you hire a competent attorney, and be prepared to remove the... Read more »
He was asked to bring equipment back. He will not. Lives in another county
You could call the non-emergency police/sheriff line in that county - they may consider it theft and go arrest the employee; although the property may be held for evidence reasons. You could go to the courthouse and swear out your own charges against the employee. Or you could go the civil route... Read more »
I have absolutely no idea what this is about
Those are criminal offenses of interfering with the conduct of the Government. Bribery, Tampering With Evidence, Bringing Drugs into a Jail...etc. I am not sure what is going on, but I would advise taking them to a competent attorney. Sometimes speed can help in defending against a criminal... Read more »
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. Don't do it. You can't tell it's abandoned by looking at it. Abandonment occurs when the rightful owner relinquishes their rights in property - the fact that it doesn't look valuable or that it... Read more »
However, my mom is executor and she has not told me exactly what was stated in the will. How can I get a copy if I’m not executor but someone who is named in the will?
If the Will is filed at Probate, then go to the Court and look at the file. If it is not Probated, then the Will has no effect, and your Grandmother died intestate where the Heirs take the land and the Next of Kin take her personal property.
A Tennessee attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, if it was a public campground with park rangers having jurisdiction in the area, they probably could for a justifiable reason. For a private facility, it might depend on the facts -... Read more »
I have the paper where he signed I just haven’t had time to go to the dmv and get it changed over.
Unsure of your question. Title is not transferred until the State DOS issues a new Certificate of Title. You can claim an ownership interest in a forfeiture proceeding if you timely assert your claim. Getting sued in tort for a wreck is sometimes defended if actual possession is not transferred...
