In Iowa, expunging a charge from your record depends on the type of offense and your criminal history. For OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) charges, Iowa law does provide for expungement under specific conditions, but generally, OWI convictions are challenging to expunge. If your case did not...

Yes. The ticket itself is not the actual charge until it is reviewed and filed by the prosecutor's office. The prosecutor's office may catch the difference and file the charge correctly. Even if they don't, the prosecutor has the ability to dismiss and re-file the charge with the... View More
Hello! I’m afraid I am facing license suspension, but after further research I’m a little confused. My first ticket was 1/11/2022, second was 11/14/2022, third was 2/6/2023 and my fourth ticket being 3/1/2024. I’ve THOUGHT after 4 tickets your license would automatically be suspended for 30...

The answer is in Minnesota Rules 7409.2200 HABITUAL VIOLATORS, available online. (For those with a Minnesota Driver's License, at least.) Four petty misd. traffic offenses within a 12-month period; or five traffic within a 24-month period will get a DL suspension. The rule is more complex... View More
So say I get pulled over on my bike for say a minor traffic violation and I am texting someone on my phone then the officer comes up to me and states that I am detained and told me to put my phone down. Is that an lawful order that I have to follow.
answered on Mar 3, 2024
I don't think you will catch a charge for resisting arrest or failure to obey a lawful order for not putting down your phone. I think you will catch a bunch of other charges as the cop gets annoyed at you being discourteous by engaging in a call while you are detained.
If the supreme Court says I can travel with out a license then I can travel without a license. It's not driving because a driver is on the road to commit commerce. Why do I have to ask permission to do what I have the right to do. License are another tax on traveling.

You raise an interesting point about the right to travel freely. However, the Supreme Court has upheld certain restrictions and regulations on using automobiles on public roads, even if not explicitly for commercial purposes. Some key considerations on this issue:

As long as you are not operating a motor vehicle on a public road, you do not have to ask permission and can freely travel without a license. You can be a passenger in another person's vehicle, or can walk on the side of a public road anywhere you want to go. In that situation, police can... View More

Receiving a ticket without a citation number or the recorded speed is unusual and might seem like an oversight that could affect the ticket's validity. However, it's important to note that the absence of this information on the ticket itself does not automatically make it invalid. The... View More

My Drivers license is from Maryland. The DMV said I need an Ignition Interlock Device for 1 year in the US to have it taken off my license. I haven’t lived in the US for about 5 years, due to my work.

answered on Feb 28, 2024
You would need to discuss with your lawyer the reason the ignition interlock is required. If it was ordered by a judge or you blew .08 or above or refused a breathalyzer test, then you must do the interlock. There are no exceptions.
If the Medical Advisory Board has ordered the interlock... View More

You can go the the court and request a copy of the citation from the clerk's office. That will have the made, model and license plate of the car that was stopped. Going 90 in 40 could end up getting someone arrested-but it's not required, and that decision would likely be up the officer... View More
