Will they pick you up for out of state child support bench warrant?
[Disclaimer: please see the comments already submitted for a more legal answer to your question. My answer is strictly one of personal knowledge and experience where I know people/have known people with such warrants issued against them. Nothing herein is in any way meant, or to be construed as, legal advice.]With that in mind; the practical answer here is - NO. In general one state is not authorized to “pick you up” for a bench warrant (child support is technically enforced, in most jurisdictions, as a contempt of court warrant) issued in another state. In fact, most jurisdictions/counties, will not “pick you up” for a coc warrant issued in a different county, even in the same state.HOWEVER, although one jurisdiction will likely not go looking for you to satisfy the warrant-issuing county’s desire to incarcerate you; IF you are stopped, the officer runs your ID, and that warrant appears; many counties/states WILL hold you until it is determined whether the issuing jurisdiction will come to extradite you. IF this happens the arresting county/state will usually hold you on as fugitive from justice.So, although they won’t usually go looking for you; you’ll be constantly trying to go the rest of your life without ever encountering a police officer; NOT an easy task; especially when the issuing jurisdiction WILL revoke your drivers license (making it impossible for you to get a license ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD); and will garnish your wages (forcing you to seek employment under the table as those garnishments are nationwide).My personal, non-legal advice; do yourself a favor and just deal with this now. You are ruining your life trying to avoid paying child support and/or pulling a couple months just because you got behind. Your kids NEED you in their lives. IF you run from this piddly situation with the courts you will NOT be there for them, EVER. It’s simply not worth it to run, on any level.
Tickets after Vehicle Accident; Waiver Hearing or request a trial? (Maryland)?
This Monday during the snow, I turned into a left turn lane and my car started to slid on the ice. The car was sliding for about two or three car lengths and when I figured I couldn't stop I turned into the guard rail hoping that I wouldn't do too much damage to the car in front of me. The car in front was already stopped, and I hit the back left side of the car with the right rear view mirror. When the officer came up, he asked for our insurance information. He did not ask what had happened at this point. He left and came back with a sheet of information for both of us and two citations for me. 1. Driver of motor vehicle following vehicle close than reasonable and prudent. 2. Negligent driving vehicle in careless and imprudent manner endangering property, life, and person. Both contributed to an accident so the fine is about $430. Only after the car was towed did he ask what happened while I was standing around waiting for my dad to pick me up from the site of the crash. My first concern is the first one, if the car was already stopped how can I be following it too closely. I turned into the lane and my car proceeding to slide and I couldn't stop the vehicle. The second concern is negligent driving, I wasn't speeding into the lane and I tried to brake but they didn't work. I only turned into the guard rail because I didn't want to damage the car in front of me. Should I request a waiver hearing or request a trial? Because I want to fight this if I can.
Can I get disability for a hearing impairment?
Look into section 8 housing or HUD housing, your rent will be a lot more affordable , and you could live off what you make each month. If you make over 1010 a month including gross income you will not qualify for disability benefits , this will be considered substantial gainful activity. It is not 400 a month as someone suggested. you could try and apply for disability benefits but you probably will be denied based upon the fact you can still her and are not completely deaf. You may even be able to work 2 part time jobs that would make things a lot easier for you. Vocational rehabilitation services could help you find a good job and help place you in a job that is right for you . If you were awarded benefits for SSI you would only get $698 a month, hardly enough to live on.
What are the chances of a first time felony offender going to jail?
It is going to depend on a number of things: the type of crime, the way in which the crime was committed, the circumstances of the crime, and the offender's past criminal history. Let's say you broke into someone's home and stole over $250 worth of their belongings (that makes it a felony). If you did it because a bully said he would hurt your mother if you didn't get him the stuff is a more compelling reason than if you did it to get money to buy more video games for yourself and some good weed. If this was your 3rd time getting caught doing this type of thing, that ups your chances at serving time. If you broke into someone's home and found there were some kids in it with a babysitter and you terrorized everyone, that's not going to go well in court. So you see your intentions and your actions, along with your past criminal history, will be the deciding factor on whether the judge sees jail in your future. You get points on a sentencing sheet for all these different things. Rack up so many points and it's off to the slammer for you. A sentence of under a year is served in the county jail. A sentence of over a year is served in a state prison. Generally. Every state has their own rules, but that's the way it usually goes. Some crimes have a jail sentence no matter what. Gun laws in Massachusetts for example have an automatic, no getting out of it, jail sentence if the crime was committed with a gun. First time offenders that committed a non violent crime and have no past criminal history will most likely get a suspended sentence, probation and fines. Suspended means you don't have to serve the jail time as long as you do your probation and pay the fines. If you screw up, you will be put in jail to serve the original sentence.
Speeding ticket in MD (TA-21-801.1 74MPH in a 55) request wavier hearing or trial?
So i was was going 78 MPH on a 55 MPH on RT32. Cop pulls me over asks why I'm speeding and i tell him I'm running extremely late for work. He reduces my speed saying I went 74 MPH as oppose to 78 and to just request a wavier hearing to try to get the points off. (Reduced my speed so that I would be less than 20 MPH over the speed limit hence a smaller fine and 1 point less) Should I take my chances and request a trial hoping he does not show (although if he does show he may tell the judge I was going 78 not 74).Any experiences with requesting a waiver hearing? Chances my fine gets reduced from the $90 and I get my points removed? Details -22 years old -Clean driving record for 3 years -MD resident -2 points for this violation
Department of Transportation (DOT) physical examination?
You have to fill out a form asking medical history. You can not drive if you are epileptic (controlled or not) deaf, or blind in one eye. You can drive if you are a diabetic ( with waiver). They check your eyes, blood pressure and turn and cough. Blood pressure must be below 160/90. They look you over for surgery scares. If you have any you have to explain and may have to get approval from the performing doctors. If you are in good shape, nothing to worry about. If you are overweight it opens a can of worms (70% of drivers are). They are now hung up on sleep apnea. They will ask if you snore, If you say yes, they may want more tests. A drug test is not given unless requested from employer. Drug tests are required but given randomly or new hire. You do have to give a urine sample but it is to test ketone levels (diabeties). I have discovered over the many years that every doctor does it a little different. I have had one tell me how to check myself " turn and cough" so she did not do it. I have had one make me run in place for two minutes. I have had one check everything like I was going to go to the moon. I need to renew mine in the next two weeks. Good luck All the info you will need. http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrguidedetails.asp?regulation=391
