So over these last few months, I would buy pizza from Little Caesars using the app. When going in, I would pick up the pizza that I paid for, and then just snatch a 2L. I did this for a few months (the total cant be over $50. Closer to $25 is my guess), and eventually got caught in the sense that they would crack jokes at me like "Are you sure this is all you ordered?" And while I know this may seem silly, but my father was a hardcore thief, so when I got caught I had this epiphany of "I was doing it and didn't care", so it has me worried about the possible ramifications. I don't plan on doing this again, as this entire situation kinda made me realize that it's stupid and pointless, and while yes this may seem silly, I'm mainly asking to get some ease of mind. Thank you.

The original Citation was not signed by the officer or myself. When I received the Complaint in the mail attached was a copy of the citation that now includes the officers signature and badge number. Also, the complaint is very general "No license plate" But I DID have a "custom plate" in the license plate holder. I would think by elements- changing the citation changes the contract which I do not agree to and I HAD a plate in the license plate, so there is no argument. Missing element of proof. Am I correct?

I’m on interstate compact probation and my receiving state (CO) sent a request to my sending state (FL) to early terminate my probation. FL sent back a pro se motion for me to sign, which was already signed with no objection by my previous officer from FL. CO sent my signed motion and letter back two weeks ago and FL has not yet filed the motion. I’m worried that it got lost due to the thanksgiving weekend. Am I able to file the motion myself, since it’s pro se? Or will FL probation office need to file it since I’m on ICOTS? Furthermore, am I able to contact my FL probation officer to ensure it has been received, or does all communication need to go through CO?

I am dating a guy, let’s call him Anthony. Anthony got an aggravated DUI in June, and his court date is on December 7th. Anthony and I met in June of 2022. The day we met, he kissed me without my consent when we were both intoxicated. (I asked him not to kiss me and he did anyway.) He did not do anything else, and a friend of ours pulled him off of me before anything else could happen. I did not realize how messed up this situation was until around September of this year. I filed a report with the police, and asked them to not contact Anthony, for I just wanted the information on file in case anything else happened in the future. I did not, and do not, want to press charges. I don’t feel unsafe around Anthony to this day, but it has been a very hard experience to process. I am still with him because he has been a good boyfriend for the most part, but the non consensual kissing the first day we met has been a red flag in the back of my mind. What I am asking is, when a prosecutor is prosecuting a first-offense DUI, does the prosecutor typically look at the defendant’s other police records/reports/history? I do not want Anthony to find out I filed a report on him.

Hello, I was appointed a public defender for my criminal case. Upon release from jail, my Public defenders assistant picked me up from jail. In the car, he gave me a brand new cell phone to use. I was told I could use it up to a year. The problem is that I have never had the ability to login to the Carriers account to change administrative settings. I can't swap a SIM card until I get the administrative password. I only recently found out that all of my pictures on the cell, as well as files, are still being uploaded to a Cloud from the account I can't access. I tried calling their office and contacting the assistant to no avail. Someone has had access to my Cloud the whole time and I wasn't aware of it. I'm not sure if this a standard practice for attorneys?

I got stopped because of a broken headlight and when they ran my plate my licensed came up as expired. I roll the windows down and it smells like weed but I didn't have anything on me. I got hit with a dui for it so I want to know if I have to be clean from now on until this case is dismissed

My mother and I live together. She pays the bills the house is in her name. I am in ill health and am awaiting in hopes of approval of disability. On October 22nd, my mother started an argument with me. She has told my aunt and others that I hit her, pushed her, and shoved her. I did not such thing. She had been planning to visit my aunt (her sister) prior to the argument. She has been there for over a month and has not indicated her return. My mother has a history of this behavior. When I was a child and we lived in Maryland, she did the same thing to my dad. Meaning she made false statements against him hitting her and abandoned the household and myself and younger siblings. My dad was represented by Stanley Tashoff. Through an investigation, it was found she was lying and mybdad was exonerated. I want to know what my options are and to protect myself against my mother's false accusations or any actions she may do in retaliation or pure malice.

I was convicted of multiple duis in my teenage years and early 20’s. I am now in my 30’s. I recently passed the real estate exam and im wondering if my record will disqualify me receiving a license.

Hello, We have yet to get all of the details of the case ourselves, but three of us ( two brothers and me) got charged with Burglary. We want to get a good lawyer in order to get the charges lessened, or thrown out all together. We are being charged because we tried to get a dog back. We went to the home of the person who had the dog, confronted them in the door of the apartment, showed them money in order to get the dog back. Things did not go well, and they put their hands on one of us. The person who made the complaint claimed they received bruises from the interaction. We had to track down where the person resides in because she doesn't have a proper home address which is why we were looking for her. We tried to call the police earlier during the summer to address the problem of her taking the dog in the first place. The police officer I talked to said there was nothing that they could do because it was a civil matter. I was a loss of what to do. The person who took the animal blocked all attempts to try to get the dog back and any form of contact we tried to contact her to see what was going on. We have no prior arrests/convitctions.

2 coworkers got into a physical altercation. One guy slammed the other guy to the ground, went into that guy’s car, got that guy’s gun, stood over him and shot him in the chest with that guy’s own gun, puts that guy’s gun back in that guy’s car and called the cops and waited and cooperated with the authorities.
