I wouldn't pay because blackmail never stops. Was the person under 18? Did you know it. You are very fuzzy on that part. Normally you could go to the police about the extortion, but the dad, to protect himself, will probably lie about you. Deleting the emails indicates you knew it was... View More
I haven’t received a BAC ticket, I took a blood test and breathe test. I was never told my results. Nothing shows up on CCAP and I haven’t received anything about a license suspension from the DMV. This was in Wisconsin and is my 2nd
answered on Jan 24, 2018
You should get a 30 day notice (you could answer in 10/13 days from date of notice) re the DMV. The BAC ticket will be filed or amended to the OWI criminal complaint. Results will be on the probable cause part of the criminal complaint
Will I be arrested today when I report to Manitowoc for fingerprint

Good Chance. Depends on how wide a reach the warrant is. Is it statewide or just neighboring counties. I would contact the Marinette court clerk of court to see if you could get a bond hearing date to show up at.
Their warrant is out of Racine county however they are staying with their mother in Waukesha county. Which precinct should I contact and how would I go about getting this person off the streets?

I believe that the city police officer can follow you within the jurisdiction he works and also call others if and when you are about or he suspects you will elude him or her into another jurisdiction. An officer can follow you for as long as s/he believes a crime is being committed has been... View More
My cat is an outside cat, I live in the country. He said if I don't take it to get neutered, that he will take him to the humane society or get rid of him for me. Cat has been missing for a week?
answered on Dec 22, 2017
Check with the humane society. Proof of criminal damage to property or abusing animals needs some foundation. The threat is probably, at most disorderly conduct. Proof he did something criminal is next. An at large animal may be in violation of township ordinances. Check with the Clerk. My... View More
I hypothetically trained my dog to shoot a gun and he killed someone am I in trouble or is my dog in trouble
answered on Dec 12, 2017
Both of you. Big trouble. Don't even think about it. If it did happen you need to speak with an attorney who handles criminal defense of homide cases.
answered on Dec 6, 2017
Yes if the court order actually expires on its face or the parties stipulated and get the Judge's approval.. This could be a juvenile matter, a probation matter, a criminal bail bond matter, an injunction or other. Depends on how it was issued.
I know someone who sells guns and said they were in his store trying to buy a gun for him knowing he is legally not supposed to have them. What is the law regarding his spouse registering them and letting him use them. They both know he cannot legally possess them. And is there a way to turn... View More

Husband may not possess a firearm (gunpowder driven). Spouse can have one (but not a good idea.). He can not use it, handle it or save it some place.. He also can not buy one whether or not they will sell him one. Enhanced criminal penalties can apply if he is found with one while committing... View More

Usually yes.Consult the victim assistance coordinator at the DA's office.

Yes. Usually lists no contact direct or indirect. The someone else is helping you violate the order.
Marinette and menoninee are right next to each other there's a bridge that separates both so they are literally a mile apart

Yes, but they usually don't due to cost as it is a misdemeanor. Try to work it out through an attorney and the DA in Michigan.

No prior criminal background of any kind. No evidence of physical violence. "Victim" even states no physical violence took place.

Are they State Charges? Disorderly less likely to be dropped.. Battery requires a touching. If Victim says no touching, who does say so? Have the criminal complaint reviewed by an attorney. It will be worth it.
I have made him a counseling apt and was wondering does the counselor have to report this to CPS. I am fine with that happening but my ex is mad.

Yes, the 17 year old is an adult for criminal court and the charge could be disorderly conduct, battery, and felony child abuse.
Your suspicions are correct and it should be reported. If not, who is to protect the 9 year old?

This does not appear to be a criminal or civil rights question. Does management know of your presence for care? Make sure your state status and length of visit complies with their rules. Then when a complaint is made by a neighbor they will be told they are wrong and your presence is allowed.... View More

License will probably be revoked by the DMV in 30 days from test notice of over .02 by police if you don't ask for an administrative hearing within 10 or 13 days depending. Was the stop/arrest valid? Was the test accurate? a skilled attorney on these questions can help.

On the limited information here the answer is yes. And it will be a felony or misdemeanor depending on what the original bail jumping charge is (and based therefore on the original crime charged and dismissed.). Conviction depends on satisfying each of the required elements to beyond a reasonable... View More

answered on Aug 31, 2017
You raise an interesting question--wether such a doll could be considered kiddie porn. If so possessing it would be unlawful. Maybe talk to a counselor on what your issues are--realistically, most guys want the sizzle without the effort to make themselves attractive, or they expect someone way... View More
