if you get arrested with someone but on different charges should the time they hold you have anything to do with the proccesing of the other person?  also if the two people are dating does that mean that only one has the right to make a phone call?

I am employed in the Criminal Justice Field.  Firstly, the law does give you the right to a telephone call.  You each get a phone call.  In my County within California, you can't be held in a intake processing holding cell for over twelve hours unless they can't verify your identity within that time frame (unlikely).  Within the twelve hours they must provide you with a booking receipt that includes your charges and bail information.  Depending on the charges you may be kept in custody pending your arraignment, be given the opportunity to call a bail bondsman and post bail or be cited (given a court date) and released.  If you must remain in custody, you must be assigned a housing cell within that twelve hours.  If you are to be released you may have to wait beyond the twelve hours in a release tank.  the entire process from intake to release onto the streets is usually within sixteen hours so consider yourself lucky. \n\nIf it is shift change, of course there may be a delay because of the officer information exchange and naturally people slow their work pace toward end of shift.  \n\nThey may have been questioning your boyfriend or a third party while you were in custody to obtain additional criminal evidence against you in order to add charges to your case.  If they are questioning your boyfriend they may hold you longer then what is necessary to process and release you for the reason stated above.\n\nBest of Luck

Probably won't happen even if you try.  Privacy laws won't let you have the name and if you report it to the cell provider, they'll just pass it on to the authorities (if it's a harassing call).

You are well within your rights to press charges and I encourage it. But I am a city girl and am always thinking with an urban attitude. \n\nLegally, that person will get charged with I am sure (1) breaking and entering, (2) theft, (3) fraud....most of which are felonies. If he has been released he will be arrested and will need a lawyer. He will then go on trial and the courts will contact you. Once you press charges you will be assigned a detective or a person of contact within the police department. \n\nPersonally...I am afraid that this person has had the opportunity to look in your wallet, know your address, and may be even have made COPIES OF YOUR KEYS. I really am not trying to scare you, but as a single woman, we have to look out for any possible scenarios that may put us in harm's way. \n\nI suggest you atleast change all locks to anything leading in to your home or apartment. I would much prefer you to be safe than suing. \n\nGood Luck to you and I am sorry to hear that someone decided to violate you in that way. Please try to always remember to carry your purse with you and ensure that all valuables are at least in your trunk. Always remember to be very cautious when entering your car.

Honestly?  dump them both and move on.  The one in jail is looking for an anchor...someone on the outside that he can sue to maintain his connection to the outside world.  And the one you're dating now seems childish and you dont want to date him anyways.\n\nDo as you wish, but you probably deserve someone who can hold and love you, that's going to take you somewhere besides the sign in line at the jail.

That information MAY show up on a background check....and therefore affect employment or housing applications.\n\nEven though they word the question differently - if it is legal to ask about arrests it is also logical to be able to ask about anything that comes after an arrest in the legal process. So, in many places - it is legal for them to ask this.\n\nIt all depends on where you are applying for work (not always the same as the state you live in). There are only 10 states that do not allow employers to ask about arrests. \n\nIn Oregon, we have several employers who routinely demand a "police contact sheet" of all hires. This includes every time your name was on a police report - whether you did anything or not. I am not saying I think this is RIGHT but it is what the LAW says. Until enough people make enough noise it will continue to be the law.\n\nAlso the law is what the state you are applying for work in says it is. If you have crimes in NY (that NY says can't be looked at after X years) and you apply for a job in Oregon, that job can and will consider those crimes anyway.

Finally, someone who puts the state in their question.\n\nLook...bottom line: your friend needs an attorney, not a bunch of well-meaning people on Yahoo.  Nobody here that has any idea what they're talking about it is going to offer any decent advice because there are just too many variables that could be in place.  Also, there would be more questions than answers, and your friend would be a fool to answer any questions here on Yahoo, if he's being charged with a crime.  \n\nWhat is felony fraud?  I suspect the links above will tell you, but generally it's fraud over a certain dollar amount.  Fraud, it sounds like you've figured out, is misrepresenting yourself to obtain goods/services/etc.\n\nFinally, I wonder about the, "friend is being told by police that he is to be arrested..." comment.  Rarely does anyone I work with communicate the intent to arrest someone...it's bad business, as it allows the suspect to begin thinking up stories to cover his tracks, talking to attorneys, flee the jurisdiction, etc., etc.  Perhaps there's some kind of misunderstanding as to the business of being arrested.

This all depends if it is a civil or a criminal matter. If the property was jointly owned, or the person you are referring to is an ex -partner/wife, then this is probably a civil matter which unfortunately is not what the police are for. If that is the case, you need advice from your own solicitor.\n\nThe police will be able to help you with this matter if the property can be viewed as having been stolen (ie a criminal matter).\n\nIf a person is to be found guilty of stealing, it must be shown that the person dishonestly appropriated the property, that the property belonged to another (ie you) and that the person had the intention to permanently deprive you of that property. \n\nWhy not telephone your local police station - they will soon tell you if this is a civil or criminal matter. Good luck!

Everytime I get arrested(which is quite often and matter of fact the last time was Wednesday...Just got out Thursday morning) I have my "First Apperance"(which is usually held inside the jail somewhere) the next day or two, which at First Apperance they give you the chance to bond out and sentence you. You don't get your 'real' court date(in the courthouse) until at least two weeks later, but sometimes it can take up to a month or more. It sounds like what happened to your friend is 1) He couldn't make bond 2) They didn't issue him a bond, which means he has to stay till his 'real court date' at that time they will either give him time served and let him out or give him probation or 3) He already went to court and has to do his time period

You could be charged with assault and battery, or simple assault, disturbing the peace, there's all kinds of things they could charge. Depends on the the factors,ie, did someone end up dead or unconscious, in the hospital? You could in all probability end up doing time. Be smart, learn to control yourself.

I just dealt with a case like this where an individual was told not to call on go near another person, they filled an order of protection and he ws not present.  He didn't even know it existed.  It was his own mother and step dad.  They lured him to the apartment complex by telling his aunt that his property was on the stoop.  He picked it up.  The next day he was just walking down the street and was picked up by police based on a description and arrested for violation a restraining order, fined and arrested.  I got him released ROR argueing the same points as some of your answers listed above but the short of it is he is going to county lock up if he doesn't beat the charge.  lawyers fees are expensive.  he can now only afford a public defender and they are way over worked, under paid and not to bright, I would expect probation or 30 days incarceration at county lock up and if you are not careful you will receive the same.  After the hearing the constable or someone will make one attempt to serve you and that is it.  You need to obey the order or face arrest.  Unless you have unlimited money for attorneys fee you shouldn't fight it.  Or you might be using the public pretenders office.  Work this out through a third party and be apologetic and humble.  Get this order dropped or you will run into this person and do some time.  This case was in Upstate NY but the laws are very common throughout the US and some places might add stalking.  Big jail time!  watch your step, the law is on the filers side, file a counter order asap.

Don't! I think it's just a waste. Seems she's just being polite talking to you on the phone because you were the one who called. She's also just being polite that she didn't want to tell you her true reasons on why she cancelled on you twice. Come on! If she's interested on you, don't you think she will try to give you a call besides you making the call? I know you know the answer to your question, it's just that you don't want to admit it yourself that there is nothing between the two you (or at least nothing on her part).

In California (and I suspect in most states), an arrest is public information.  Here, it's only public for a period of time (I think it's 30 days).\n\nI don't know what kind of "personal information" was released, but I'd suspect it was only that which is legally allowed.  I have not read the info at the link below, but it looks to me like it's going to tell you what can be released and what can not.\n\nIt's also worth pointing out (especially to the person who commented previously on it) that printing an arrest in the newspaper isn't the same as violating the "innocent until proven guilty" rule.  It's just reporting facts...that a person was arrested, and perhaps the circumstances surrounding the arrest.\n\nOne of the things you asked was what you can do to end this.  The obvious answer (don't commit crimes) is too late, I suppose.  It's possible you can't end it...the cat is out of the bag, so to speak.  Certainly your fiance should avail himself of any possible legal remedies if his rights are violated (terminated just because he was arrested, evicted just because he was arrested, etc.), but that may be the only things available to him.  \n\nOne more thing: when/if your fiance's case is either dropped or he is found not guilty, most newspapers will print that as well if you contact them and ask them to.  \n\nBest of luck.

First of all its NOT assault, unless it caused bodily harm or injury.  It IS battery.  These are two completely seperate charges.  Battery is defined as being touched in a rude or insolent manner.  Being "slapped" does not cause bodily harm so this would be a battery charge.  Battery is a misdemeanor.  \n\nwho hit who first does not matter.  if they were both hitting eachother, then both could be taken to jail for fighting.  Other wise the person who did the hitting goes for battery.\n\nWait to see if this man goes to the police to file a report.  Depending on your state it may be up to the police to file charges.  Here in wyoming where i am a police officer, only the police can file charges.  Public citizens can only file reports.\n\nremember, assault and battery are two completely different crimes. \n\nGood luck!

You have to post bail, if it applies to him...\nYou have to find out what are the charges first, and work from there... hope you can resolve it soon

You could be charged with obstruction of justice. Hindering a police investigation. Resisting a public officer. Contributing to the deliquency of a minor.  Accessory to assault on a minor.  Accessory to kidnapping. Withholding information.  It all depends on the jurisdiction and if you are found out. Bad business if you ask me. The girl should turn herself in and hope for the best.  Few jurisdictions would excuse the statutory rape charges, so the (boyfriend) is pretty much up the creek without a paddle if charges are pressed.
