Can law enforcement legally shoot your boats motor if you don't stop?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jared Christian Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared C. Winter
I don't know the answer, but I'd love to hear the story behind this one. My hunch is that they can, just like they can put down spikes to stop a fleeing vehicle. That's just my hunch though, not a legal opinion.

How long can somebody get for violation of probation?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James E Gandy (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of James Gandy
This is an impossible question to answer for three reasons; moreover, even if you attempted to correct these issues, no one could answer this question; you will need to see an attorney and discuss this matter with them. The reasons: (1) It is unclear what facts and circumstances surround this probation violation; most importantly, what crime were you on probation for? Even if you provided this information, there would be other questions - none of which you can properly answer here; (2) Though we know which area you are located, is this where the courthouse is? Attorneys from other parts of California will have no idea what the standards are for that court (it is also possible that the particular judge could have an impact on the outcome); (3) We do not know your background. Is this your first arrest or twentieth arrest? Has this been an ongoing problem between you and the probation officer? To properly answer this question, you will need to speak with an attorney in this geographic area.

What is needed by the police to charge you for sale of oxycodone?

Answered by attorney Craig W Elhart (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Craig W. Elhart, PC
In order to be charged, there must be probable cause to believe that a crime was committed and that you committed the crime. The police do not need to personally see the transaction as long as there is credible witnesses who could testify as to what they saw.
