I'm sure the prison can provide you with information regarding their internal rules.
Law enforcement was notified later that day. My son met with the owner the next day and insurance has covered the repairs. He was cited by the junior college police and is now facing misdemeanor charges. Should he get a lawyer?

A misdemeanor is nothing to be casual about. It is not an infraction, which is what most tickets are. Your son should definitely retain a criminal law attorney in Texas. Thank you for using Justia ask a lawyer.
I was trying to speak to my ex husband about our children, and he disrespectfully rolled up his window while repeating, “I don’t care.” My husband approached the vehicle. He slapped the car window (open palm) to get my ex’s attention and asked him to listen to me. My ex then rolled the... View More

It is always a good idea to consult with an attorney. Disorderly conduct can be charged as an infraction or as a misdemeanor. You should definitely at least speak to an attorney so they can advise your husband on the potential penalties of the charge. Having the disorderly conduct could come back... View More

If you went to the courthouse and paid the ticket, there is no reason anything would ever be sent to your house by the court. However, DOL will likely mail you a warning letter for having an infraction appear on your record.
Plus, your intermediate license will get revoked if you get two... View More

Yes, the prosecutor can charge you with Reckless Driving even though you already paid an infraction fine for the same event. And the statute of limitations on that crime is two years, so if it happened in June of 2016, it is not too late for them to file the charge. I would definitely talk to a... View More
Parked at a gas station to pee and cop pulls next to me in my car and get out and goes in store before I get out. But he was looking at my car all suspiciously so I waited. He stands at the door inside the store then comes back out flashing his lights in my car and come and bangs on my window and... View More

This sounds like a terrible scenario that you experienced. So sorry you lived through that.
If you were parked and only stopped because of suspicion that you committed a traffic infraction - an infraction for which the officer's story is not credible if he waited a significant amount... View More
The defendant is a city employee
answered on May 2, 2019
Your question is in criminal law but there is no plaintiff in criminal law. Without any further information, it seems there would definitely be a conflict if a city attorney were representing a civil plaintiff against a city employee but that conflict could likely be waived by the plaintiff. I... View More
Need to know if I should appear in court or if I may pay the fine via mail or online.
I'm accused of passing a school bus that was stopped and discharging children.

You can call the court clerk in Lincoln County and ask if a court appearance is required or can you just plead guilty and pay the fine. I expect that you will have to appear in court for this type of ticket. If so, the judge will sentence you and determine the amount of the fine. If you plead... View More

Since I haven't ever gotten this question before, I was curious about it and looked up the Fla. Statutes on car window tinting, Sections 361.2951 to 361.2956. There is nothing there indicating that unlawful tinting is a secondary offense (meaning an offense that can be ticketed only upon a... View More
