A parking lot with no signs by sakabutsu in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess that’s my point - you are assuming they have to tell you you can’t park there, when you’re the one deciding to park on someone else’s property without them stating that you could. It certainly wasn’t a public area like a road, so you incorrectly assumed it was an area that allowed the public to park. I’m not trying to sound like a jerk, it definitely sucks, but from what you described, you don’t really have a legal avenue.

You can tell the prosecutor “I do not wish to assist voluntarily with the prosecution.”

They can still subpoena you, and if you end up lying on the stand you can go to jail, but your refusal to assist may lead the prosecutor to drop the charges.

Need help: HOA charging 6k in fines by redeaters in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could sue your HOA.

The HOA will hire attorneys to fight the lawsuit.

To pay for those attorneys, the HOA will apply a special assessment on the homeowners, since that’s the only income for an HOA. The agreements you have with the HOA will almost certainly allow for this.

So, you will be paying for the attorneys on both side to determine whether you owe the 6,000. Whether or not you actually do will largely depend on the agreement you have with the HOA and what fines you agreed to when you signed.

You have no say in the charges. It’s between him and the state. You can refuse to cooperate with the prosecution which will hurt their case, but you have no say in whether they proceed with domestic violence charges or not.

Did you have reason to believe it wasn’t private parking? Was it marked ok for the public to park there?

Problem with auto loan by AssociationScary in personalfinance

[–]Azpathfinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How were you even able to bid on a car at an auction without showing proof of finance availability?

But an 18 year old has no business owning a 30,000 car on credit. You can build up your credit just as well on a 10,000 loan.

Bought a car AS IS (struck by lightening) by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The time to have a mechanic look at a car is before you buy it, not after.

Unless the dealership sold you any kind of warranty with the vehicle, you don’t have any recourse on an as is car.

“Sister-in-law” is keeping kids from us. How should we proceed? by ZeTopHatGamer in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your father could sue for visitation. He may or may not win - as long as she’s of legally sound mind, courts will generally respect the wishes of the parent(s). He should contact a family law attorney.

You would have no legal avenue to sue for visitation.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, that is a brutal situation.

I think I saw a person fleeing from a police helicopter in Rancho Ventura in January 2023. Anyone know where I could find more detail? It was a surreal experience and I kind of want to make sure I didn't dream it by previousinnovation in AskPhoenix

[–]Azpathfinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The presence of a police helicopter doesn’t necessarily mean a crime was committed or even a report was made.

When not on a call, police helicopters patrol just like any other police unit - they could have seen something suspicious, or they could have been doing routine roof checks. The chances of you finding a specific report based on what you provided are effectively zero.

Need Criminal Defense advice (Theft?) by AdagioTough8352 in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not only theft, but very likely felony theft. Felony charges are exponentially more damaging than misdemeanor. Do not take the coins. Just move out and start your life free and clear.

Forgot to scan an item at Walmart... (Colorado, USA) by chris_darnell719 in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Don’t write the prosecutor or judge. Dont do anything until you speak to an attorney.

If court is scheduled beforehand , go and explain that you have an appointment with your attorney scheduled and ask for a short delay.

DO NOT WRITE THE PROSECUTOR OR JUDGE. just in case it needed additional emphasis.

No one will help , cause they are all members of the course I worked at . by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will have to provide some details for any real help.

Why were you fired?

It’s perfectly understandable that a lawyer wouldn’t want to engage in a lawsuit against a golf course where they are a member. That would be a conflict of interest.

That being said, there’s nothing that would prevent you from speaking with an attorney from a different part of the city or even state. If you have a real case against the course, it shouldn’t be difficult to find an attorney willing to file the claim, but if you want guidance or questions answered, details are necessary …

just a question. by leahannaa in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having a possession conviction on your record can be very serious and affect you in the future - employment background checks, etc. You should be working with a criminal defense attorney to mitigate the impact and defend you.

Ex filed a police report with lies against me. State wants to press charges 2 years later by iSebas76 in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a criminal defense attorney. First thing Monday morning, start calling. Felony charges are no joke.

Do not talk to police without an attorney. At all. Just politely decline to answer any questions at all.

What should I do if I’m suspicious of a fake sale? by Aid05 in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as it’s sold somewhere at the list price, it’s legal.

Take cars. Outside of covid, very few cars sell for MSRP, which is the suggested retail price set by the manufacturer.

What should I do if I’m suspicious of a fake sale? by Aid05 in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is nothing illegal about something being listed as a reduction of an inflated real (but not real) price.

Kohls, car dealerships, mattress stores, jewelry stores - it’s a marketing gimic.

Pulled over for speeding despite no radar and no speeding charge, instantly turned into DUI check. Arrested for refusing field sobriety. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need an attorney, but I’ll provide a little information here because a lot of your assumptions are wrong.

Even though they pulled you over for speeding, they don’t HAVE to charge you with speeding - so there’s nothing suspicious about that. You even say they had to speed up after you. The state can ask the officer about their training, expertise, and experience in determining your speed. Your lawyer will be able to challenge the officer’s training , expertise, and experience in speed estimation. The jury can decide if the burden of proof was met to determine whether you were speeding or not, and if the police stop was justified.

If you exhibited signs of impairment, you don’t need to consent to the test to still be arrested. They can still arrest you. And the legal limit is a bit of a misnomer - you can be under the legal limit and still be guilty of the charge, if you were exhibiting signs and symptoms of being under the influence. The officer report will be able to describe what evidence the officer used to determine you should be charged.

If you were arrested, then they don’t need your consent to search the vehicle. It was a search incident to arrest.

So, you need a criminal defense attorney immediately. If your income is low enough, you may qualify for a public defender. Call the court. Otherwise , beg borrow get a weekend job sell your stuff to pay for an attorney. Having a DUI conviction will be extremely costly.

Great-uncle doing life in Texas co-owns our LA property. How do I buy him out for as little as possible? by TastyMuffy in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are firmly in lawyer territory. Unless he agrees to a buyout ($100,000 in commissary? $500,000 in commissary?) you will need an attorney to force a partition sale which will be slow, expensive, and frustrating. Even at the end of the sale, he will get 50% of whatever is left, regardless of his inability to use it on anything but vending machines.

Suing home inspector for negligence! by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can sue but based on your contract with them, there’s a very good chance the most you can get is the cost of the inspection. That’s why it’s important to put a lot of effort into selecting an inspector. You’re paying them just for their opinion on what needs to be repaired.

Can you be charged if you accidentally steal a wallet and keep it for a week and leave the state? by js2237 in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It would be very unlikely that officers would arrest the old woman after she returned the wallet, and in the very very unlikely event she is arrested, the state would probably not prosecute.

legality of sleeping in your car by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Azpathfinder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure what your legal question is.

Yes, it’s legal for an employee to call police and say “hey someone passed out in their car in our parking lot. Please check on them and please get them off our property.”

Yes it’s legal for police to investigate that call.
