Ok if u want to fight something u didn't do! Do u have to go to jail first?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)

The cops have to have probable cause to arrest and charge your husband with a crime. If they do, they can take him in to custody. That much of what the cop said is true. However, once your husband is taken into custody, a magistrate would then be able to determine whether to set bail in your husband's case. Unless your husband has a significant criminal history, it is pretty likely that the magistrate would set bail in his case. Once bail is set, you would then contact a bail bondsman. Once you pay the bondsman's fee (usually about 10% of the total bond set) and the bond is posted, your husband would be released. He would then be expected to attend periodic court settings (usually once a month or every couple of months depending upon what county you live in).  So, yes, if he is charged with a crime, and arrested for it, he may be taken into police custody. But, he would not necessarily have to spend any protracted length of time in there, provided you are financially in a position to bond him out.  Be careful: if your husband pays for the fence he may still be arrested and charged with criminal mischief (the likely offense). In fact, if he paid for the fence, and later claimed that he didn't damage the fence, the fact that he paid for the damage could be used against him.

How do I file a permanent restraining order?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
Call the police and make a report of assault or whatever it is. Then the police can help you get a restraining order through the DA, once your case is filed.

How to appeal a plea bargin if you were scared into taking the deal?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
It is doubtful that he can appeal. But, he may be able to pursue a writ of habeas corpus. Make sure he doesn't try to file one on his own, though. I see inmate writs all the time. Often, they are able to identify and articulate valid legal arguments. However, they do not understand procedure and, most important, how to create a record upon which to base the argument. Writs are a one-shot deal. If he files one on his own and loses (becuase of procedural default) he will not have another opportunity to file the writ, even with the help of an attorney.
