      Officer not being charged

      Oops - missed the "minor" part ... though, I am pretty certain that somewhere in those sections there must be a section that covers the act under color of authority. If not specifically the sexual assault, I imagine there are color of authority offenses. In any event, I cannot imagine that...

      Officer not being charged

      More than likely there is a sexual assault section that can and should be applied. https://law.justia.com/codes/arkansas/2010/title-5/subtitle-2/chapter-14/subchapter-1/ Most the prohibitions exist against employees of the correctional facility. But, if the Detective is employed by the county...

      Officer not being charged

      It could well be considered rape because of the perceived power relationship even if the acts might have otherwise been consensual.

      Officer not being charged

      If this is being investigated as a sex crime, it could well be that the victim's name is confidential. Law enforcement agencies are reluctant to provide names of victims to begin with, and in many states they can be prohibited from providing the names or details of investigations regarding sex...

      My fiancé’s grandmother is taking his car?

      Yep. That one may well be a problem. Clipztr, Another problem might be the award sought. It appears that MI has a $6,000 limit in Small Claims. Whether it is worth engaging an attorney to assist with this matter is a question your fiance will have to ask himself. He might choose only to...

      My fiancé’s grandmother is taking his car?

      It may be shady, but as long as the car is not in your fiance's name, he is the one that will have to pursue legal action to try and get some measure of compensation.

      My fiancé’s grandmother is taking his car?

      Technically, she is kinda correct in that the car appears to have been in someone else's name all along. And if SHE has been making the payments, that may serve to strengthen her claim to the car. If she does not relent and return the car, your fiance will have to consider a lawsuit if he...

      My fiancé’s grandmother is taking his car?

      He sent the payments to the bank ... anything to indicate that the payments were for the car, and not for something else? Putting money into the bank via money order is not proof of paying towards a car. It probably helps, and may well be a contributing factor in any court action, but it's not...

      My fiancé’s grandmother is taking his car?

      What state is this happening in? Laws vary by state, so it is important to know this information. If the vehicle is in grandmother's name and she refuses to return it or to return any payments for it, your fiance can take her to court (likely Small Claims, but the dollar amount varies by...

      Tolling the statute of limitations

      I have to agree with TigerD. If the other side has an attorney, they likely know how to use the system to their advantage. Their advantage is not yours. You may have to ask yourself whether you want to hold your nose and hire an attorney, or, hold your nose from now unto ad infinitum? I live...

      Death threats

      There are probably no end of mutual friends or family he can get it from. That's always been a problem in these situations. Phone numbers, email addresses, online profiles, etc., are all known by more than a couple of people and it doesn't take much to find them out.

      Death threats

      Have the threats been reported to law enforcement? If not, why not? Is the restraining order still valid? While the orders can generally be issued for up to 10 years, 3 years is the standard time span. Unless she has gone back to have it renewed numerous times over the past 20 years, it is...

      domestic violence and mental illness

      One huge problem is that we are legally unable to compel people to either seek treatment, or to maintain treatment ... absent a court order which, sadly, can most often come about as the result of a criminal conviction. Contrary to common belief, the bar necessary to involuntarily detain...

      Illegally parked cars caused collision

      It's worse when you even have birthdays and family names and info committed to memory! I had some that I had arrested as kids and then went on to take them to grown-up jail later on. Ah, memories ...

      Illegally parked cars caused collision

      Illegally parked cars caused collision

      The CAUSE of the collision will be applied to a MOVING vehicle, not a stationary and unoccupied one. And, as Neil stated, a state's vehicle code rarely has much applicability to parking lots (aside from maybe licenses, registration, recklessness, and DUI). As such, the inconveniently parked...

      Providing a statement that police cannot verify

      At the university where I work, there was an armed robbery of 5 students in a parking lot a few weeks ago. They nabbed phones, wallets, and a purse from the only girl. One of the kids had a cheap knock-off phone and the robber threw it back at him telling him he could keep his "cheap shit."...

      Providing a statement that police cannot verify

      Eh ... missed the first sentence somehow ... need more coffee. I see so many people using the term "robbed" when they mean something else that it's a reflex to ask.

      Juvenile being charged with Grand theft Auto?

      What you did was sign a document acknowledging your being informed of your Miranda rights and that you did not request an attorney to be present at the time of questioning. It is almost a certainty that an attorney will be appointed to you if the matter goes to court. The state is NOT going to...

      Providing a statement that police cannot verify

      The good news is that the police are unlikely to go through the effort of verifying your winnings or even what may or may not have been in your backpack or wallet when you were robbed. Now, if a suspect is identified and charged, the defense may allege that there was no money in an effort to...
