Unless Iowa extends some right to privacy to trash placed at he curb, you're probably out of luck. Your attorney will know for certain.

When it comes to the probable cause necessary for a search...

NOT a term commonly used when it is not punitive. Typically, it would be, "Placed on administrative leave (while we investigate)" or something similar. Seems ... odd.

But, if the defendant HAD been venting and not intended the statements and images to get to their ex, it had the same effect. The point being that even if there is no intent, the actions can lead to...

I'm very surprised that they might have provided you as much info as they did regarding the process of any internal investigation, most pointedly that he had been "relieved of duty". Such a comment...

I cannot say what the law might be in Illinois, but out here third party contact through a variety of, arguably, unintentional means can still result in convictions. There are a number of ways by...

This also happens in cities and counties. Before I worked for the University I spent a quarter century in municipal policing. Even there, some people would have a favorite officer you would report...

The University I am affiliated with has the same sort of issue. Victims or reporting parties get comfortable with an officer or department and continue to make related calls to that agency or...

It should be noted that CA Traffic Courts rarely ever issue arrest warrants any longer, pursuant to a change in the CVC in 2017 (CVC 40509.5(d)). An FTA for an infraction generally results in a...

That's fine. Object, but don't interfere. Out her, I've never known acquiescing to a court's order equating to consent,however,and I believe thereis case law to that effect. I'd have to do the...

Of course, if they appeared at your door with a search warrant, you likely would not know what info was used to obtain it, and the cops are not going to stand outside and adjudicate the merits of the...

SOUNDS like the OP believes this guy is a bad guy and has given the DMV the OP's address ... but, for what, I'm not certain. Mailing address for a DL or ID Card? He appears to have since corrected...

HOW does the OP know this? Has the guy gotten mail there? Hence my question. I have heard a great many people make similar claims over the decades without any real proof other than paranoia or...

First of all, how would the police know who he gave his "mailing address" to? It's not like there is a master database of Amazon Prime accounts, or Publisher's Clearing House addresses out there.
...

Keep in mind, folks, that it is entirely possible to be struck by a vehicle and still be the party most at fault. If a driver fails to stop at an uncontrolled intersection or yield to oncoming...

I am so sorry for your loss and the trauma this has put you and your family through.

That being said, I will echo others in saying that homicide investigations can take time. The evidence you may...

Arguably, you may have a right to simply break in and retrieve your property. However, the longer you stay away from the home the weaker your claim to have lawful access to the property. You should...

If you call the local police agency they can stand by while you retrieve your personal property. The problem is that the officer cannot FORCE him to let you in, much less turn anything over to you. ...

So, you are going to runaway from home? Or, do you also have permission and support from YOUR parents to move out of state?

As a minor, how will you get a job? Enter into a rental contract? ...

More than likely the laptop was stolen.

Like other states, OR requires the officer leave a copy of the warrant and a receipt of the items taken.

133.575 Execution of warrant. (1) Except as...

If the item was taken pursuant to a search warrant, the police should have left a receipt and a copy of the search warrant. At least, this is the practice in those states where I am aware of the...

Even before AB51 "lane splitting" was rarely (if at all) ever enforced in CA in any way. Other than when dealing with a reported collision, there was simply no good way to enforce any laws that...

Sort of a moot point since there was never any specific statute prohibiting it unless you could articulate unlawful passing per VC 21750 et seq. Then, of course, there would be the trouble with...

Municipal nepotism laws can be a tangled web. It all depends on what the local muni code actually says on the subject. It may well be that the nephew is well qualified and was hired appropriately. ...

First off, if they truly had "no evidence" they could never get the DA to pursue the case, much less get a conviction. So, yes, they DO have evidence. YOU are just not aware of what that evidence...

First off, the officer is under no legal obligation to inform you why he pulled you over. His failing to do so will not get you off the hook.

Second, you are a student on a Visa. That does not...
