CONNER99,

The issue you seem to be missing (or willfully ignoring) in your exchange with Carl is that there is a difference between what is allowed and/or prohibited by statutory law and/or...

You were detained at the moment that you yielded to the pretty flashing lights in your rear view mirror. Are you saying that within 10 minutes of being pulled over, your blood was drawn? I know...

Ok. I get that this is deliberate trolling. But, I’m gonna reply as if it was serious (kinda) just for the LOL.



I suggest that you might want to crack a history book and at least try to gain...

That makes it sound like simply taking that vehicle onto the public roadways, regardless of other driving behavior, was careless! However, I still have to call BS on the "30 to 40 mph." Unless you...

Ummm....Actually, it is not an "inane" question at all. In California, LEO can only arrest for a misdemeanor or infraction that occurred "in the officer's presence." There are some statutory...

True. But, I wasn't responding to a post referencing "imposing a driver." So, there is that.

"Imposing a police officer"? Well, I suppose that making a traffic stop could be called an imposition on the cop...but, that's kinda part of the job description. Did you mean impersonating a police...

"Operating a motor vehicle on the public roadways" and "traveling" are not synonymous. You can "travel" by walking, hired transportation, skateboard, or paddling a canoe. Requiring a license to...

That's quite an assumption on your part without any stated evidence. Sure, it is possible that the cop was just late for dinner, it is at least equally likely that his/her actions were proper. It...

Simply observing activities is not a crime. Doing so to facilitate a criminal act COULD be a crime, depending on the specific actions, intended crime, and statutory wording. However, proving that...

There is nothing “technically” about your theft being illegal and nothing about the “transaction” is even remotely “legitimate,” regardless of what paperwork you fabricated. You are a common thief –...

I would also guess that very, very few incidents of malpractice are so outrageous that they warrant revoking a medical license and ending a career. The patients who suffered and their loved ones...

Two words: Darrin Wilson. Don't think any investigation could be more publicly scrutinized than that one. How did that “transparency” of the “process and the evidence against the officer” – that...

Way back when I was a rookie, my training officer gave me some advice. He told me that traffic violators deserve either the ticket or the lecture, but not both. The difference is that the violator...

So, you already confessed to speeding…You just want to argue how flagrantly you were violating the speed law? BTW, cruise controls have a margin of error of a few mph – if it is an older model it...

Unless you have prior criminal offenses, I doubt that jail time is likely. However, it will likely be expensive. Not to mention your insurance costs are going to get a hard hit. I believe that a...

The answer to your question would seem pretty obvious. You say that you are “hearing” of incidents where citations are being handed out. You may “doubt the legitimacy” of what you have heard, but I...

I agree with Taxing that you really need to consult with an attorney in Canada. At this point, your claim that you brought the item into the store and did not steal it isn’t going to be believed by...

Since you ask about the "worst" thing...don't forget the part about an insurance rate hike. If you are under 25, that can be substantial. If you are offered traffic school, that will cost you more...

Like Jack, I am really confused about the circumstances you are trying to describe. I cannot envision why a stop sign would be posted for a parking space or how it would be relevant to a collision...

Most states (perhaps all?) have domestic violence laws that take away much of the discretion that law enforcement officers have in other types of crimes regarding whether or not to effect an arrest. ...

Having investigated probably two dozen or so similar cases, I question how many people have actually “fallen” for these scams. When I interview suspects who have tried to cash these checks, I try to...

He-may-get-arrested-and-go-to-jail…What’s with the hyphens?

Mental health issues are generally not a defense to criminal acts unless it was so severe that you did not know right from wrong. This is especially true if the mental health issue is previously...

There are multiple charges possible in Washington revolving around the use of another’s ID. These range from misdemeanors that typically result in a fine to felonies that can result in prison time. ...
