Internet privacy rights are in a state of flux. Federal rulings and state rulings by the various state court systems provide some guidance, but each situation is very fact specific. Without a great deal more information about the particulars in your situation, a meaning answer is not possible.

Do the public access computers at the Daley Center reveal active warrants?

The public access computers in the Daley Center will get you into the court file if you know the name, date and court case number. All warrants are indeed listed in the online computer files.

Got a $250.00 ticket for Handicap area (loading/unloading area) . Should I go the court and do I have any chance to win?

Go to court and argue your position. Perhaps you can get the fine reduced, but I don't think you have an outright winning defense. God bless you and good luck.

Can I begin a child support case myself but have an attorney represent me in court?

In general, attorneys don't like to substitute into a case filed pro se. Why? Because by the time the attorney comes along, the case is usually so muddled that the expense to undo all the mess is a constant source of severe tension between attorney and client. I say this from long experience. HIre a lawyer now. Do it right the first time. Save yourself a bundle of money.

I got the seat belt ticket as a passenger. However my DL was taken by the officer and instead I was given a yellow ticket.

Your license is taken as bond. If you pay the citation by mail, your DL will be mailed back to you. If you go to court, the cashier will have your DL there. Until then you are "driving on your ticket" so always have your citation with you as your proof of DL.

My fiance cut his mouth on a piece of glass, can i ask for compensation?

Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt! That said, in a case in which your claim is negligence, four legal elements must be proved by admissible evidence: 1) duty 2) breach of that duty 3) proximate cause of injury to that duty breach, and 4) damages. Your case suggests you may have enough to establish duty and breach of duty. However, without any provable damages from an injury, there is no case. Your fiance must be able to prove all four elements in a negligence lawsuit. This is...
