      Friend arrested with pounds of marijuana...

      What is the name of your state? Utah Okay, i'm not from Utah, but this question is regarding a good friend of mine who was driving through Utah: He has no criminal record, served in the military, is employed, and apart from his otherwise straight background, was arrested with a bunch of...

      $120 for the "privilage" of working for the county?

      What is the name of your state? California. My wife was offered a plea of 20 days work release instead of going to jail for a case that i have already posted about a month ago. The problem is that they say SHE must PAY them to do unpaid work for them. At $120 a day that factors out to $2,400...

      Pre-Trial after FTA?

      "Interesting ... in every agency I have worked in, we would violate department policy to show in uniform for a case where we were not involved int he course and scope of our employment with the agency. Things are different out there." Could be, maybe I am jumping to conclusions to say that they...

      Pre-Trial after FTA?

      "How do you mean? What SHOULD they have done when presented with a citizen's arrest for shoplifting and assault and battery with an object that could cause great bodily injury? Should they have disobeyed the law and declined to accept the arrest? Or should they have filed lesser charges than...

      Pre-Trial after FTA?

      "A swing and a miss is Assault per PC 240 ... tossing an object that has the likelihood of inflicting great bodily injury is ADW per PC 245. Do YOU want to be hit in the head by a hunk of metal? Or a rock? I am sure the people that had the stapler hurled at them were not keen on getting whacked...

      Pre-Trial after FTA?

      "Then you didn't grasp it right, because it is NOT arbitrary - or should not be." "Should" is the operative word. "The criminals aren't like Mayberry. The world is a real place. I live in a town that is about as close to Mayberry as one is likely to get, yet we have crime and crooks. If the...

      Pre-Trial after FTA?

      "Which is no one's "fault", and is just bad, dumb luck." Right, I'm not blaming police in general for this, or even "The System" per se. I'm blaming the police who made the original arrest who should have known better. There is literally no police officer that I ever met, trained with or know...

      warrent info-how can someone's word get a warrent issued out on me?

      Read the book "Snitch Culture" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0922915636/qid=1105235468/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-9259071-0413658?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)... this sort of thing happens all the time.

      Pre-Trial after FTA?

      "Quote: My wife didn't know she still had charges pending or that she had a warrant out. That's very often the case." That probably won't change how the court will view her. "We actually catch a number of wanted subjects that way." Which would seem to indicate that they had no idea they...

      Pre-Trial after FTA?

      "Of course, you had not mentioned this so how was anyone to notice. And that still does not change the fact that many (probably all) of the pretrial issues would have to be dealt with again." Okay, I could have sworn I mentioned that, but if not then I can understand your comment. The point is...

      Pre-Trial after FTA?

      Thank you for your reply Carl. However, you will notice - as I have said before - that my wife did show up to her arraignment and pretrial almost 8 years ago when all of this happened. She was then told by her mother who contacted the manager of Walmart that they were dropping the charges. Thus...

      Pre-Trial after FTA?

      What is the name of your state? California Is there a pretrial after you return to court after a failure to appear if you already had a pretrial years ago (but then never went to trial after being told the charges were being dropped only to find out after going to the police station to report a...

      Extent of Misdemeanor Warrant

      Every attorney we contacted laughed and said "Ohhhh Ventura County, THAT explains it." One group of attorneys said "There is a saying amongst attornies out here that 'I went on vacation to Ventura County and came back with probation.'" From what they all tell us Ventura has a bit of a...

      Extent of Misdemeanor Warrant

      "Well, it wouldn't be "thought police" to argue that you bailed her out and then knowingly assisted her in fleeing or remaining outside the jurisdiction. It's not like you would be an unknowing or unwitting accomplice." She's a big girl, she can leave or stay on her own. She doesn't need my...

      Extent of Misdemeanor Warrant

      Living within someone is "conspiracy?" I'm a bit skeptical of that. I'm hardly a legal expert, but I have plently of Police Officers in my family, and a BA in Criminal Justice. I doubt that this would pass the smell test for "conspiracy" but that is neither here nor there. I'm also not in...

      Extent of Misdemeanor Warrant

      Well as for the NCIC issue, she was already charged with not appearing. The problem is that it's not exactly an "either way's doable" situation for her to go to jail or not. Going to jail following the original arrest 8 years ago (for two weeks), was already traumatic enough. All the more so...

      What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? CA If you have a warrant in California for misdemeanor charges, and you do not live in California does this warrant appear when your ID is run in other states? I ask because my wife and I were told almost 8 years ago that some...
