You can start by requesting written documentation from the Kansas Department of Revenue or the DMV that explains exactly why this anti-lock device requirement is still showing on your record.

With six DUI offenses on your record—even if they occurred in different states—Kansas is likely to treat your current charge as a felony with severe consequences. Kansas law considers out-of-state DUI convictions when calculating prior offenses, so they don’t need to have occurred within the... View More

No. Once you’ve been cited for a specific speeding offense, the court can’t unilaterally “upgrade” that ticket just because your vehicle later showed damage. A judge can only change your charge if the prosecutor files a new or amended charge before trial—damage discovered after the... View More

This situation sounds serious, especially with multiple fleeing charges while already on federal supervised release. The Bureau of Prisons detainer suggests they’re preparing for a possible revocation of release, which could mean going back into custody if the court finds a violation. Even though... View More

If you received a ticket for an improper left turn but the police report clearly shows another driver hit you while you were turning, you may have a strong case for dismissal. The ticket means the officer believed you made an unsafe or illegal turn, but the accident report could prove that you were... View More

You can register your RV under a Montana LLC while being a Kansas resident, but there are a few considerations to keep in mind. Montana allows LLCs to register vehicles with no sales tax, which is why it's a popular option for RV owners. However, Kansas law requires that vehicles owned and... View More

Yes, but it is likely any statement you made while in custody can’t be used against you.

They can, however, offer testimony from witnesses and other evidence to try to prove your guilt.

Kansas, like in many other states, the law requires drivers to carry proof of insurance at all times while operating a motor vehicle. If you were issued a ticket for no proof of insurance and you did not have the required proof at the time of the traffic stop, it may be challenging to contest the... View More

Probably legal for each day that you drive the car without the front plate. Unfortunately the state legislatures don't issue citations to the people most responsible for this, car dealers that sell cars without all the plates. This case arises under traffic ticket law. You need to discuss... View More

This situation arises in the area of traffic ticket law. You need to discuss with an attorney in your jurisdiction that specializes in this... View More

Being issued a license to drive and driving on state and federal highways is a privilege, not a right. You can lose that privilege if you are a habitual offender and the state revokes your license. Being self employed, or needing to drive for work is not a defense to habitual offenses. Any... View More

I don't think you are in Kansas any more, Toto. This is sooo strange. If the ticket is written for a different person, it could be that the police officer handed you the wrong copy. You need to check with the court to see if you are scheduled for an appearance on a traffic ticket and go to... View More

If the police officer is more than 50% at fault for the collision, then the city he works for will be liable for that percentage of all your damages. Your damages will include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering damages. The city most likely has some form of insurance to cover this... View More

I would definitely keep the original ticket, request a trial, and offer the original ticket into evidence. It may be enough to create a reasonable doubt as to the time of your traffic stop which sounds like it is a determinative fact in your particular situation.

You should immediately hire a criminal defense attorney licensed in the State of Missouri to investigate your search and seizure issues as well as build your defense to the criminal charges. Good luck.

It sounds like your attorney is doing his job. Either plead guilty or start preparing for Trial, and a possible appeal. It does not appear that further Discovery will help any more than what you already know.
