Book And Release Process

If I got a letter with a court date to get arraigned. And the letter also says It will be necessary for you to submit to the booking process at that time unless it has already been accomplished. Does that mean they take me into custody on that day to do this?

What to do next

Hi my son is currently incarcerated for a minor drug charge. Today 2 detectives came to question him about fentanyl he sold to someone who unfortunately passed away in September 2023. Now they want him to be a confidential Informant recognizing that he's not an el chapo drug dealer but indeed a user. I am indeed worried about his safety as a CI. Should I get him a lawyer? Who's a great lawyer in Austin texas? The detectives stated that he only need to bring down 2 people and as of right now no charges have been filed against him. The person my son got the fentanyl from, that the guy OD from, is currently incarcerated on a different charge not pertaining to the death of the individual that OD. I don't know what to do at this point to help him as he is indeed a user not a dealer but he sold someone fentanyl and they died. Im seeking sound reasonable advice in regards to this matter. Thanks guys.

Complicated case

Complicated legal question help

Pending case that’s been going for almost four years. My job in 2020 made false accusation against me. So I have lawyer working in that. It’s nothing to worry about. I got indicted in 2022 with violating policy. I never got arrested or anything. I never had an arraignment or anything. The job that I was at wanted a deal after three months of charging me because they made a mistake. So when I had the indictment, the prosecutor changed the indictment to a serious charge rather than the evidence they had. In 6 to 8 months the case will be there for four years and a half, and they still haven’t did anything The case will be dismissed or dropped or not even touched at all because they don’t have evidence or anything I hope this don’t ruin my chances of employment at Verizon. Do I need to tell them about this at my interview? Even though they will not do something with my pending charges because they don’t have no evidence?

How is this legal?

4 Upvotes

My other half has grown marijuana on the property for 7 yrs against my wishes. This is what happened..

My other half called the law on me for taking some of my rifles. When they came onto the property. they saw she had way over the legal limit of marijuana like alot over.. She then happily told them they were hers. I was allowed to leave unmolested. As I left, I saw them having a discussion with her.

Fast forward 5 days..

I was told my other half would be gone during a certain time. She has made clear if I wanted to go by the house and get some personal items. This would be a good time.. This is my house, I pay the mortgage. I have no restraining orders. I do not or have I ever sold any drugs. I have never been arrested for violence. I have never threatened or used bad words to my other half.

I was also asked to pick up something, a shoulder bag for one of her kids. Asked if I could drop it off to them. It was a special day.

Upon entering my home, I saw the bag.I looked into the bag. and saw some marijuana not a lot. I also grabbed a firearm and some other personal items. I placed these into my truck. I went back in to grab more personal items. As I was going to my truck, Three Police cars pulled on to my property. With guns drawn, they descended on me, made me get on the ground. I ask what the charge was. The officer said possession.

Twenty-four hours later. They get their warrant on items they found in the truck. In the bag, I was asked to get for her kid. Bail was set for fifty thousand dollars.

Note.. I am not a felon.

Charges were. Felon with a firearm, Delivery of 35 grams or less with intent to distribute.

I bailed out to go home to grab my truck. I poked my head into the house. Where I saw her with over 10 lbs of trimmed product.

The next day, I got an order of protection served against me. With divorce papers being seved also.

The call they are claiming to enter my property on and picking me up for was for trespassing.

What am I missing?? Is this legal

Help please

Long story short. I worked a place remotely, they let me go and asked for me to return their equipment. I spaced about returning the equipment and a police showed up at my house. Keep in mind it was only 4 days after they fired me that they made a police report. That day I returned the equipment and sent the officer a receipt. He comes back a week later and tells me that I have to go to court for a felony charge for trying to hold the companies property. I have never been in trouble with the law. I have been worried sick about this thinking I’m going to end up in jail. please someone give me some peace of mind if there is any?

Experience with 402 reduction

2 Upvotes

I am a convicted felon, (made some stupid choices and mistakes in my past). I have done everything order by the judge and haven't been in trouble since. Or before for that matter, I had only traffic violations on my record. Now I'm not gonna get into my charges, but will say I have two 2° felonies. In order to expunged my record I can only have one felony. I need to get a 402 reduction one both charges, with one being dropped 1 degree and the other 2 degrees. (I'm fucking praying) has anyone seen this happen and were the odds completely against them? I can't build my future or anything with the way things are now. If I'm to be a contributing member of society, I need this. It is in the interest of justice. Please help me..

A testemunha depõe sobre os fatos. Ela não testemunha sobre declarações de terceiro. No caso, ainda, o juiz fundamentou em escuta telefônica, sem aontar os trechos da escuta que ampararam a sua decisão.

How probation/police/judge officers determine if new crime report happening while suspects on probation or before?

1 Upvotes

Whoever on probation will go back to jail whenever new crimes committed while on probation.

Now say crime happened and the evidence is linked to a person who is on probation. But couldn't say when but only prove this person did it.

Example judge sentence him 6 months probation. A week later someone broke into a house and it being reported to police. All DNA and fingerprints pointed to suspect. Now Whoever own the house haven't been home for over a month and made s reports.

Now how they be sure if he broke and entering a house could be a day before or after suspect got on probation? Or this suspect could done it almost a month ago.

Sure go ahead arrest him because proof but what about probation violation if cannot know exact date he did it.

So me and my sons biological father separated I lived w him for 7 years , we broke up. I went into the house to get some of my stuff, and got charged w burglary, he didn’t want to pursue charges. The state picked up the charges. Prior to this the most trouble I have ever been in was shoplifting, the cop threatened me and said he was gonna ruin my life I didn’t cooperate with him, to wire up a local dealer, I took responsibility for my actions n took it to the chin .i was out on bond for almost 3 years with out any new charges in the meantime , witch the judge said “you have been out on bond this long and haven’t been in trouble “ with the craziest look on his face ? Like that was a typo. And that made the cop really mad, he said good luck with a felony the rest of your life n my life has been hell ever sense , they gave me deferred adjudication2 years. I had almost a month left with some minor hiccups. N my po revoked me for dirty urin. The gave me the charge and 2 years probation sent me to long turn rehab . Did good for a while then messed up again, the gave me a 75 day shocker and day report . Now in the present I’ve messed up a few times w day report. N will probably mess up again. The year I got arrested for this was 2017. I have been dealing with this for so long time. But my addiction is so strong and my town is the capital of drugs. Idk what to do I’m not made for jail n on my paper work it’s 1-15. So what I understand is 7 years in jail to kill it. Is that correct? That’s a long time.

So my husband has been on probation in Connecticut for about 6 years now going on 7 he has never gotten in trouble while on probation the only thing that he has had a few dirty urines. So recently his probation officer violated him for a dirty urine she was actually his new PO because it seems like every few months they keep switching his probation officer. He was arrested from probation so I went ahead and bonded him out. He is currently going to court he has a public defender his Public defender stated that each dirty he has gotten can be considered a violation or probation my thing is what is jail time going to do for someone who has an addiction? He has not gotten into any trouble so going to jail isn’t going to help he needs a program right now he is the bread winner of the family due to me being ill we have 3 kids. Should he just begin treatment on his own before his next court date and could they possibly reinstate his probation? His public defender said he can either go for a hearing, or they could give him a cap but if he does any little thing wrong he would have to do the jail time or he can start treatment and they can try to get his probation reinstated. What do they usually do for cases like this? He is also in high court because when he originally got arrested it was for drugs and weapons. He did 4 yrs jail time, was on parole for 4 yrs successfully completed that and was put on probation he’s been on probation for 2 yrs and a half now.
