You haven’t provided enough information for anyone to tell you if you have a good case or not. You also aren’t clear about whether you are wanting to obtain disability benefits or sue the SSA for discrimination. If you have already provided detailed information to several lawyers and they have... Read more »
“During the glory days of radio, it was illegal to mimic the voice of the US president.” Was there actually a law prohibiting that? Or was just a White House policy and not a legal issue.
Was it law or policy?
answered on Jun 26, 2022
What you are referring to is the Policy of the Government. The 1st Amendment gives you the right to mimic anyone!
I rent a room from a lady whos son is troublesome. The police had a arrest warrant for him but he wasn't there and neither was I at the time. They were mad because no one answered the door so they took my dog off of his leash and took him.
answered on Jun 22, 2022
They took your dog and left or they simply moved your dog to a different location? To be honest, if they claimed to be afraid of the dog then they could probably get away with shooting your dog dead.

Your questions are complicated. The reason is over the years, the liability and duties of the police, District Attorneys, Courts, and court clerks have all changed in many ways.

If I invite someone into my house even tho I don’t pay rent it’s my moms house can they still get into trouble if they were told to not come back by my mom.
answered on Apr 12, 2022
This is a sticky situation. If you live at the house, you can invite anyone to come see you. However, I would not expect them to "hang out" at the house. You would need them to only stay in your room. Thus, they can come pick you up, or visit you in private, but to do so is asking for... Read more »
A new attorney and we're going to trial in 2 weeks or less or maybe 3 weeks but they're not prepared for my case and I haven't ever spoke to him before and the only information they have is what the prosecutor gave them instead of investigating my caseit been over 2 years
answered on Apr 6, 2022
Although you have the right to an attorney, you don't have the right to a GOOD attorney. You have to pay for that and it's really expensive.
That said, if your attorney does nothing (or almost nothing) to prepare then that can be "ineffective assistance of counsel"... Read more »

You could probably make them get a warrant but you might want to ask a local criminal defense attorney who knows how the cops operate in your jurisdiction... they can make more problems for you if they are unprofessional jerks.

answered on Mar 19, 2022
They don't have a right to touch you. You need to get a lawyer and get the camera, I am sure they are going to say you hit them first or used force, That is how a simple shoplifting turned into a robbery,
1) caseworker said if I'm negative I don't need to take drug test or treatment
2) there was no violence in my home

answered on Mar 9, 2022
The purpose of bail is to ensure the defendant's appearance at court and to ensure the safety of the community or victim. A POCS case doesn't really have a victim so perhaps there was something about his situation that concerned the judge about the defendant's willingness to appear... Read more »

answered on Mar 8, 2022
It might be possible for his attorney to seek suppression any evidence that was found as a result of the search but a good attorney will probably first need to carefully study the offense report, arrest affidavit, BodyCam recording, DashCam recording, and the log file showing the data sent back and...

It is likely that none of that will matter if your criminal defense attorney is basically a plea broker.

Based on these facts, CPS has likely been granted temporary custody of the baby due to the fact that drugs were found in its system at birth.
