There is noting wrong with you two dating each other and having physical contact with each other. What you do need to be aware of is that since you are the age of majority (18) and your significant other is still a minor, it is against the law to have any sexual relations with them until they reach...

I can only answer for Wisconsin. Theft is a crime and the amount affects whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony. The answer is yes as the state District Attorney is not a party to the civil suit and can file a Criminal Complaint. The Civil Judgment does not by itself block a criminal... View More

IT sounds unlikely that you will walk away from two separate bench warrants without visiting a jail.

Call a GREAT traffic offense lawyer, in WI, for a FREE consultation. Here is one, that I can recommend:

Tell her William Head from Atlanta referred you.

A presentence investigation could reveal facts about the defendant that normally would not get before the judge prior to sentencing. It often will increase fairness in the system, but not always. The defendant may have his/her own psi done by the defenses choice. It really gives the judge more... View More

A Wisconsin lawyer needs to answer that for you. But from an employment lawyers perspective age is irrelevant. Any type of unwanted or unwelcome conduct if pervasive or severe is illegal. Once a manager or employer knows they have a duty to act so on this forum age is irrelevant for hostile... View More

Do you know whether the court cancelled the warrant? That is usually the case, of course. You should check the court file to make sure that the warrant was properly cancelled. If so, the arrest would be clearly unlawful--as opposed to accident because the clerk's office made a mistake. You may... View More

The short answer is yes.

Your question is more complicated than you probably intended it to be. Police may use and act on false information. The real question is a quality of the false information. You should review the application for the warrant at the circuit court that issued the warrant. The application will show... View More

Police officers cannot impose drug tests unless there is a court order.

The law requires a warrant first.

The short answer is yes. But you will need a permit if you want to conceal it. I should add that I am unaware of any current permit procedure for knifes. So you can only openly carry it at present. You also have to avoid certain places, like schools.

Police officers do not charge crimes, prosecuting attorneys do. Police officers do make criminal referrals to prosecuting attorneys. So I assume that is what you mean: the police officer is threatening to make a criminal referral unless you inform. And, yes, a police officer can do that.

You should file a petition for the return of property with the local circuit court. There is no filing fee for this type of action.

I don't know, but I'm guessing he is responsible whether he signs or not. His signature may only mean he's been advised what they are, which the probation officer can attest even if he doesn't sign. I'm also thinking if he doesn't agree with the terms of probation,... View More

Under the US Constitution, a hung jury does not preclude retrial on all counts. If lesser charges were available in the first trial, and if the statute of limitations (for lesser charges) has not passed, then theoretically the prosecutor could add lesser charges. A state statute or court rule could... View More

It would be in your best interest to consult a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible if you haven't already. Based on the limited facts given, it is difficult to say whether the police want to simply question you as a witness or potentially charge you as a party to a crime. A... View More

That is pretty serious in my opinion, and there may be no alternative to jail. Hire a private criminal defense attorney.

Too few facts to answer your question. Bail for what?

Perhaps. Actually, it is the police who put him in jail.
