At the beginning of the year I got a MIP misdemeanor down in Florida but paid the fines and got it expunged off of my record. About a week ago I got another one in Michigan. Would this count as my second offense?

I don't know. Contact an attorney in Michigan.

If someone has an inappropriate video of you, can they get in trouble?

Asked by Devina about 10 years ago

It depends. Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.

Are police officers trained in emergency vehicle driving as part of their academy training? Or are they only trained if they will be driving a police car?

Asked by Jet over 10 years ago

I would imagine most states require police officers to receive emergency vehicle operation training in the academy.

After a suspect is questioned by a Detective, how long is that suspect held for if they are not going to charge him with anything? Is it 24 Hours, 48 Hours? Do they release that suspect(s) right away after questioning?

Thanks in advance

Asked by Edwurd over 10 years ago

If someone is not going to be charged with anything, detectives are not likely to hold the subject for any period of time. States vary on how long an officer has to charge someone (generally 24 or 48 hours).

Hi I live in a small town with it's own police force. I want to show some thanks to them but I only see them driving by. They don't have any outreach programs. Is waving a good way to show thanks? Or will they think I'm flagging them down for help?

Asked by Robert over 10 years ago

Waving is a friendly gesture, and is appreciated. If they stop, it is a perfect opportunity to get to know the officer and tell them thank you.

What do you do when parents don't allow young adults over 21 to go out with others? Is there any restraining order which forces parents to allow young adults to have freedom?

Asked by moonbunnie2012@aol.com over 10 years ago

Ask me a serious question.

If you are an adult - move out of your parents' home. Get a job and make your own way in life.

What offense or violation would land someone only a 3 month sentence in prison maximum? One of my friends says he went to jail for 3 months but when we ask what he did, silence. I think he's lying. Help a gal win a bet here. Thanks. :-)

Asked by Kali almost 11 years ago

Any misdemeanor offense can carry a penalty of three months. So, pretty much anything from driving with a suspended license to shoplifting to punching his wife.
