You can try. But, whether you can prevail or not is a bit of a question mark. If nothing has been done to you (i.e. you stayed away) and you suffered no harm or loss, you may not even have grounds...

Yes, I do. :).


A motor cop's function is traffic enforcement. They are not patrol officers, their primary function is traffic enforcement. Though, traffic units are getting gutted due to...

In theory, the registered owner of the vehicle can be sent to collections. In practice, the city tends to write off the loss. Not every city works with collections agencies to collect on delinquent...

Because if the vehicle were parked, there is no driver to hold accountable. Ergo, the parking cite and the associated financial responsibility attaches to the vehicle. If you loan your car to...

To clarify (and I am pretty sure you all know this already), in California a PARKING citation follows the car and not the driver (since there usually is NOT a driver if a parking cite is issued), and...

You may have gotten fortunate, or there may be stepped up parking enforcement in your area. Hard to say which.


Clearly in my top ten! :)

What code section was cited? If it mirrors the state VC (22502(a)), both right-hand side wheels must be within 18" of the curb unless angled parking or front/rear end parking spaces are provided. ...

To provide a bit more on Free9man's reply, it would be a Lidar unit as it has distance, and the device number "L4064" should indicate a "L"idar.

The "TE" indicates "Traffic Enforcement," I...

No one hates DUI more than I do, but a DUI is rarely ever an issue out here for custody matters unless there is a pattern of behavior associated with it. A single DUI absent a pattern of inebriation...

Following up on L-1's questions, does your lease give the tenants (i.e. you guys) the right to change the locks on the apartment? The ones I have seen most often do not unless you provide a key to...

According to the OP he was out of the car when the police arrived. The arrest was for some sort of interfering. No grounds for a search within the "lunge distance". Gant clarified the Belton rule...

That one prong is not sufficient, by itself, to justify a search of the vehicle under Gant. You forget the key holding to Gant in that the items sought during the search must be relevant to the...

Gant states that it be done only if it is reasonable that evidence of the arrestee's offense might be found in the vehicle. Plus, if he had exited his vehicle prior to the arrest and the arrest was...

But, if spokanedriver was correct, he was arrested for interfering with a police officer. Not sure what kind of evidence might be present in the vehicle related to that offense.

But, as I said,...

I suppose it depends on what you mean buy the term, "Digging." To us, it means asking questions, watching, listening, smelling, and generally snooping as we can.


I don't know WHY they searched...

Actually, the police can keep "digging" all they want. So long as the police do not otherwise violate the law and the detention is not unlawfully prolonged the police can keep asking questions and...

It seems that there is no body cam footage. You're going to complain because they do not have any? I suppose if the agency has a policy stating their officers MUST/SHALL use their recorders in any...

Ah, ok. What you describe has been my experience,
though in a smaller county. We would hold the court's evidence for them, though even if the court didn't specifically tag an item, there are...

Contact the impounding agency and present them with the documents you have. It may well be sufficient to prove ownership - particularly if the prior owner can be reliably identified and contacted.

That's not universal in CA. In my county, the investigating agencies retained the evidence and were responsible for storage. Though, we had no death penalty or life sentence cases that I recall. I...

I don't know how it is in VA, but I'm not familiar with any permanent evidence storage at courts out here. Unless the evidence is the form of documents or photos that can easily be included into a...

There is a solid basis for the requirement as a precaution, and businesses are free to require masks and other precautions as they see fit. Businesses are subject to licensing and permit issues, and...

Probably. But, if someone else searches and finds this, maybe they will not panic and freak out. This sort of thing is so rare as to be laughable, and most prosecutors will not pursue a PC 314...

As a note, since it is a misdemeanor not committed in the presence of the police, any action taken would have to be done through the complaint process (i.e. a report, identification of a suspect -...

Thanks for the thanks. Good luck.
