Received a letter saying there was an arrest warrant issued, the case matches that of my DUI case, what should I do?

being in warrant status is very dangerous and inconvenient. Going to court with proof you have completed everything may seem like the easy way but you may end up in jail for reasons you are not aware of presently. I would suggest contacting an attorney in your area and discussing the situation and perhaps the attorney can locate the origin of the warrant. It may be an error in the system and easily fixed. It may be more problems you can't handle on your own. Frequently an attorney can...

Can an office radar you when he is outside of his car while giving someone else a ticket in vancouver washington?

The quick obvious answer is yes, cop can do it. That happened. The significant answer is it should not stand up in court because of the issues you identified. Cop needs to identify that it was you and only you in the radar beem. of course there are a lot of ways to go about beating a ticket regarding the radar itself, but that would best be handled by an infraction attorney.

If my vehicle was seized when I was arrested for burg., malc. misc 3rd, and theft 3rd-all dismissed-no vehicle!

Your fact pattern is not legal and you should get the car back. A lot of lawyers will do this kind of forfeiture case on a contingency fee basis. call around and ask criminal defense lawyers in your area about forfieture work. Short of that, start writing letters to the police chief or sheriff ( whoever arrested you) and demand your vehicle back. you have an event number if you have the inventory return and went to jail and court. be persistent.

Bbaysitter Abuse?

You can't control the outcome ( arresting) but you are certainly able to file a report, explain to the law enforcement of your jurisdiction what happened and what evidence you have of the event. From there, law enforcement does investigation and ultimately the charging decision would be the prosecutor.

Shoplifting, did not get caught.

Your friend should come clean and admit the mistae OR figure out why she is not able to be a responsible citizen. It is not accepted behavior in our society to steal stuff. Mistakes however, do happen. As for tracking back on video, yes I have had criminal cases that started that way and lead to prosecutions. I doubt it in this case given the value. I suggest your friend write a letter to the store with the correct amount of money enclosed asking for forgiveness for the oversight she...

A gun was fired it was not me but they are attempting to charge me with a reckless discharge, cause no one gave a statement

before you can be convicted, the government has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt you committed the act. If there are numerous folks who could have done it, conviction seems unlikely. That is conviction, they of course can charge you with the crime and make you defend yourself, that just take probable cause to believe a crime was committed and you are the actor who committed the crime. Contact a local criminal defense attorney even if you have not been charged. Frequently a well placed...

Daughter caught in 3rd Degree Thief

Your outcome is very jurisdiction specific. Some courts will gladly take some community service and the offended store will be fine with a dismissal. Other courts will not hear of such an outcome. Your daughter will need the assistance of a local criminal defense attorney to guide her to the best result. A theft three is not a great thing to have on a record when it comes to job hunting.

Can I legally be excluded from employment with exoneration and discharge paperwork? Can I take legal action against the company

I am not in your jurisdiction, but your problem is widespread. The issue is data mining companies are not currently required to update their records. In your case, the data mining company went in, got your conviction and did not go back in and delete it because of your processing an exoneration and discharge. Employment background agency buys the bad data from the data mining company and presto, you have criminal history. This needs a legistlative fix on the federal level because the...
