My question involves criminal law fHello. I am happy to have found this forum. I am hoping someone will be able to assist.
FACTS:
1. I am on parole as of 4/08. I get released from parole 4/09. The parole is from a DWI felony conviction in which I served 2 out of 3 years in prison.
2. Parole officers came into my home and confiscated my computer and laptop for further investigation.
3. Parole as well as police investigators would like me to admit to prostitution because I designed a website for escort services
4. Linked to this website are several paid accounts to be "listed" as an escort.
5. My personal checking account pays for these paid listings.
6. My cell phone is linked as well.
7. Parole officer threatened to charge me with a felony tampering of evidence.
8. I cannot afford to pay for a lawyer to represent me through an "investigation."
9. I am VERY VERY VERY afraid of doing something wrong during this investigation process.
Question:
1. If I cancel any of my "paid listing" accounts, my website account, any e-mail account, my cell phone account, my voice mail on my cell, or my bank account, would that constitute "TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE" ?
2. Am I allowed appointed representation without charges being filed?
The way I understand it, the investigation can remain open forever.
PLEASE HELP!! (New York)
