Can police just show up at my house to arrest me?: Felony probation and have only few months left but just found out i have warrant for violation and not sure why?I've reported every month till now. Behind few payment and don't have money for polygraph.
Dustan’s answer: If you have an active warrant for violation of probation, the police can arrest you anywhere you are found. You should hire a lawyer now before you get arrested on the warrant. I handle cases very often in Liberty County and it often takes your lawyer going to court immediately after your arrest to get your bond set.
Theft under 100 dollars: I got caught stealing 67.00 dollars worth of stuff at walmart I got a citation to appear in court I have a clean record what will happen
Dustan’s answer: You absolutely need to hire an attorney to resolve this case and then work on getting an expunction to remove it from your record.
Can someone travel internationally after being jailed for 2 days, 28 years ago?:
I am trying to get one of my best friend to go on a cruise to Mexico. He confided to me that he was arrested 28 years ago for indecent exposure. Basically he had exposed himself and some lady took a photo of him. He got arrested (Houston, Texas) and was bailed out from jail some 28 years ago. The court made him fingerprint. Now he is 68 years old !
He is still afraid he cannot travel anywhere because of border patrol or customs taking fingerprints when traveling international. He is too afraid about this after 28 years.
He has never had any other incidents after that.
Does this make him a criminal and cannot travel internationally ?
Dustan’s answer: It won't be a problem. US citizens do not need a visa and do not fingerprint when entering Mexico. I've been on more cruises to Mexico than I can remember and I've never gone through customs in Mexico.
