Can the police search my house without a search warrant?

Answered by attorney Justin K. Summary
Criminal Law lawyer at The Summary Law Firm
Normally they would need consent from whomever owns the home or is on the lease before they could search the home. There are a few other instances where they could search the home without a warrant but I would have to see the police reports before I could tell you whether the search was justified or not. Give me a call if you would like to discuss this.

What do I do about my petty theft charges?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jared Christian Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared C. Winter
Unfortunately, there is not a magic formula I can share to make this go away. It depends on many factors mainly who your lawyer is, who the DA is, and who the judge is. If you are not able to hire a private attorney, you should ask that the public defender be appointed at your first court date. But I can tell you, based on my experience in a number of different courts, you are in pretty good shape (relative to others charged with petty theft). A first time offender, that is fairly young (I'm assuming you are in your twenties because of nursing school), with good grades, has a good chance of receiving a generous offer from the DA to settle the case.

If I was booked and not charged for drunk in public is it a probation violation?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
If you are on probation from a prior conviction, then a new conviction would be a PV, an arrest would generally not be. Youll get the real answer if the court or probation dept files violation charges. If so, feel free to contact me for defense.
