What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
Hi, I'm just looking for some general information on state laws for a story I'm writing. If anyone can help me out It would be greatly appreciated. Also, if it matters, the time frame is about 30 years ago.
I'll start with the easy stuff
1.) How long can somone be held in jail without a lawyer?
2.) What's the max sentence for tresspassing? destruction of property?
3.) What's the difference between the county Sherriff and City Police? (ie. is the Sherriff an elected office?)
4.) Who do you call if your "problem" goes out of your city/county/area (besides ghostbusters)
Thanks for any help you can give, I know I'm totally ignorant. Even if someone could point me to a good website that would be great. I'm just writing fiction, so it will be inaccurate anyway. I just want to make sure I know what I'm talking about before I mess it up
...::grumble:: I know I'll hit "submit" and realize I forgot something...
