1. Traffic fine
  
  No one can say what the court WILL do. They MIGHT suspend your license for non-payment, and there is even the very slight chance that a warrant for your arrest might issue. I suspect, however, that of you pay in person and get a receipt that you will be clear. I doubt the court will be that...

2. Tow Company says I owe them $28,000.00 !!!
  
  As with most any potential legal proceeding, you have to consider the cost of any litigation. If your case will only remain in Small Claims, then you lose little more than a filing fee and a lot of time to research and appearances. But, if it goes higher, you stand to lose much more than the...

3. Dark Street Pulled Over
  
  No one claimed you were "intoxicated". The allegation is that you were "impaired". There IS a difference. Most any amount of alcohol will result in some small measure of impairment. The question is whether that level of impairment would be sufficient to violate the law. Depending on the...

  Yes, the hearing officer is an officer assigned by the agency to hear post-storage hearings and there is no prescribed course of training or statute that governs the makeup and requirements of these hearings aside what little the CVC contains. I did these for nearly 15 years at my previous...

  They are not. The agency establishes their own procedures ... if they choose to. Each agency may choose to establish their own procedure as they wish. It is an informal procedure. If you disagree with the findings of the hearing officer, your recourse is to either appeal the decision through...

  It is not a court hearing so discovery is not an issue. When I conducted those hearings, I would generally allow the requester to review the CHP-180 and any relevant information, but there is no legal requirement to do so.

7. 21950(a) CVC ticket. What are my chances of winning if I fight?
  
  I always hated our original cellphone use (while driving law) for the same reason of ambiguity. While I used it as reasonable suspicion to stop people, I don't think I EVER cited anyone for it. The sad fact is that a great many of our traffic laws lack the benefit of clarifying legislation or...

8. 21950(a) CVC ticket. What are my chances of winning if I fight?
  
  Here is the section: 21950. (a) The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. (b) This section does not relieve a...

  WE don't ... or shouldn't. But, how we are trained out here is not always how officers are trained elsewhere.

10. What to say to the police
  
  We don't train to let the possessor of a firearm hand us his gun. He tells US where it is, and if it is not on his person, we remove him from the car or location where it is. If it is ON his person, he keeps his hands where we can see them and away from the weapon and WE remove it. To me it...

  Long time MP fan ... watched that darn movie a hundred times in my life, and in recent years along with my boys (much to my wife's chagrin ... they were between 5 and 11 the first time I showed it), so of course I could not let such a challenge pass unanswered!

12. What to say to the police
  
  The typical procedure is still to separate the firearm from the person in some manner. We don't tend to even ask for the CCW until after that has done. Now, there is always the possibility that the CCW holder might NOT tell an officer he is carrying, and the officer may never discover he is...

  I can't speak for other states, but this has been my experience and that of every other cop I know out here, anyway. But, even now when we are also "shall issue" a few Sheriffs and many Chiefs drag the process out and make so many hoops to jump through that it become so laborious process. One...

  You'll likely have to pony up money for an attorney if you want one. This is not the sort of thing one will likely take on contingency as the reward will either be inconsequential or nonexistent. And since the car is worth only $6,000, your damages will put you into Small Claims Court (and...

  I'm not surprised the police would not have such a policy as it's not something they can compel the tow company to comply with in the first place! Sounds like you may have a beef with the tow company. The problem now seems to be a question of how much money are you willing to spend to address...

  My wife and I are looking to escape when she retires ... June 15th, 2022. Maybe sooner if we choose to take the pension hit. Then, we join the many other refugees that are our friends fleeing CA. As for Boston and the Sox, I'm surrounded by Dodgers fans (bleh!), but have no great love of the...

  THAT would have been a disaster, since the way they were divvied up, it was a guarantee that two of the three would have been at least as radical as the current state, and likely that all three would be tilting hard left. Now, if we could get the State of Jefferson to actually come into being...

  Sacramento is the first jurisdiction in my career where I have heard Dispatch regularly BOL ADWs in progress because there are no units free to respond. They are, sadly, too often dealing with other priorities.
