The first question is, are we talking about an bona fide legal immigrant or a border jumper? If illegal, then hopefully he will be found and deported back to where he belongs. If a legal immigrant, then I agree with the other answer that said if it wasn't his to begin with, then it isn't his now. The only way he would have rights to the car is if the uncle signed over the legal title to him.\n\nAnd, oh, by the way..... your English is terrible. Try to learn our language a little better.

Yes. My brother got a ride to work after he wrecked his car on icy pavement. And I got a ride on a holiday when no bus or taxi was passing by. And the person that wrecks your day is usually yourself. The police is just keeping you from doing even greater harm to the general public. In fairness I must say that none of the above facts happened in the USA. One episode was in Germany and the other in Brazil. You have tough laws in the USA for things that are not even noticed in other countries. Like peeing on the street or drinking in public or prostitution

I would think if the ticket was issued to him, it would be his problem.  But if your car was in an accident, then it would be your insurance that would have to pay. That's why you need to be so careful who you let drive your car.

you were wrong for drinking in the car, and underage. i don't blame your cousin for leaving you, he did not want someone drinking in the car which is also against the law. you both could have been in big trouble for your dumb actions. he could have lost his driving privileges. where were your parents?

Is that what your friend told you? Sorry to burst your bubble ugly parrot...last I heard that one my cousin had the same thing happen...after some investigation he found out that his friend had sold it down there. That's probably what happened to your car too. Get a new friend.

Honestly, where do you some of you people get the ideas you get?\n\nTo the asker:  assuming everything you said here is 100% factual, and assuming you didn't leave anything out, and assuming you have *all* the facts in the first place, then no, it doesn't sound like there was any probable cause to pull you over.  \n\nHowever, here's what I suspect, because I have done this very thing:\n\nI'm the cop you and your friend drove past when he/she yelled whatever they yelled.  Evidently, your friend wanted to come to the attention of the police, so I'm generally happy to oblige.  You don't say (and probably don't know) if it was the same cop who pulled you over, but it doesn't matter...we've got radios, ya' know?  \n\nSo anyway, back to your friend who wants to be a policeman's project:\n\nWhether I take off after you or I radio to one of my partners, one of us catches up to you.  You don't signal where you should, you have a taillight out, your registration is expired, etc., etc., and that provides me probable cause to stop you.  It's quite possible, especially if you developed an attitude problem, that I will tell you the only reason you're being stopped is because of your friend, the loudmouth.\n\nThe liberal among us will not like this, I know.  However, probable cause in this state is probable cause, and the motivation behind my use of probable cause is irrelevant to your guilt or innocence.  \n\nSo if you're right, the cop was wrong and you certainly do want to talk to an attorney.\n\nIf I'm right, you got pulled over because your idiot friend brought your car to the attention of the police, and it sounds like you paid a price for that.  Choose your friends better next time you're drinking and driving.\n\nAnd no, yelling out of your car is not disorderly conduct in California.  It's a rude and stupid exercise of your right to free speech.\n\nShouting something at the police is not an indication that you're not a reasonable person, and being an unreasonable person does not provide the police with reasonable cause to pull you over.  Holy cow, if this were true I could pull people over a hundred times a day.  \n\nBeing disrespectful to the police does not qualify as disorderly conduct.  It qualifies as stupid, but stupid does not equate to probable cause to effect a detention or make an arrest.  Don't I wish.\n\nYeah, we're always making things up just to pull you over.  I routinely risk being convicted of perjury and jailed for civil rights violations just to see if you've got big hooters, are drunk, or have a little weed in your car.  Please.\n\nYou're welcome to have just about any bumper sticker you want on your car and not have to worry about getting a ticket.  First of all, like I said, we do live in the land of free speech so you can have anything you want on your bumper.  If it says "I'm plotting to kill the President," you might end up with a visit from the Secret Service, but you can't get a ticket for displaying even an obscene bumper sticker.  \n\nHanging out the window is a good indication that you're not wearing your seat belt, but I'm not sure I'm familiar with a crime called "reckless endangerment."  \n\nI'm glad showing poor judgement doesn't really qualify as cause for the police to investigate.  If it did, I would literally spend my entire day talking to people with extraordinarily poor judgement who weren't committing a crime.  I do enough of that now.\n\nAnyway, I hope the cops had a really wonderful reason for pulling you over, once your friend decided you needed to stopped.  I hope their reason is enough to get you into court and convicted, if you really were driving in violation of the drunk driving laws in this state.  Your decision to do so put a huge number of people at risk...all of whom, except yourself, would have been innocent victims of your profoundly poor

Many years ago back in California when I was young crazy and a bit stupid I happened upon a few cars either with the keys in them or close by.\nI will tell a story My buddy and I were walking home from a party that was a bit of a wash, so board and sober this guy comes swerving up the street parks sideways on his own lawn we guessed. poured him self out of the car crawled to his front door and apparently passed out.\nThe door was open and the car was running 16 years old and a beautiful Corvette just idling away.\nWhat do you think happened.\nSo anyway we had lots of fun for about 3 days but I felt really guilty because it was such a nice car so we cleaned it I mean completely (no Prints) took it through the car wash even sprang for double wax.\nTook it back very late that night left a thank you note and apologised for the tyres since we had burned off almost all the tread.\nWe hung out in the bushes in the park across the street and watched him find his car.\nPeople do borrow cars.\nI stopped doing it when I was 17 but I always returned them.\nBorrowing cars here in England is a real problem in Nottingham the thieves have even been known to get the car taxed to keep driving it.\nThen they abandon them.

It takes months and months of hard work, and hard evidence and misery for a lot of people (ie neighbours) before an ASBO is issued against someone.  Those that say they were given one for no reason are lying.  The Police don't go easy on someone because that person is a friend of a serving officer.  We deal with cold hard evidence.  If you get one, you deserve it.  What you might think is reasonable, may not be for the rest of the community you live in.

I don't know what other crime the cops had to go to, but I was outside, and these 3 Caucasian guys who were possibly drunk went into a nearby neighbor's front yd and stole her garden art scuplture.  Mind u, this was no cheap, light thing.  It was heavy and required some skill in moving.  While they were walking down the road, the 3 guys spot the cop car and dump the art.  They stumbled along the way (hence, my theory they were displaying drunken conduct).  2 little kids yelled to the cops, "They just stole something!  They dumped it on the wall!  I saw them!  Get them!"  When the 3 guys passed the end of the block, they made a break for it.  The police didn't do anything!  They came back like 5 mins later, but by that time, the crooks were long gone.

Plead not guilty, get a public defender the evidence will be thrown out because probable cause doesn't exist. Seeing something legal in the car does not give them probable cause. Unless the pocket knife was illegal, or you are on probation, in that case he can search you. Overall though they just do as they please and usually get by with it, don't let them railroad you, he obtained evidence illegally. It all depends on what is in the report.

It sounds like you already know this answer, really.\n\nYour friend is subject to a search of his person, vehicle, place of residence, and property under his control.  The two areas that could trip you up are the place of residence and property under his control.  If the police can make the case that either of those two situations apply to your friend when he's at your house, yes...you could be in "danger" of being searched.\n\nI'll assume your friend isn't there long or often enough for anyone to conclude that it's his residence.  That leaves property under his control (and to a lesser degree, property he has access to).\n\nIf the police can show that your friend has access/control of your kitchen, for example, your kitchen is very likely subject to search.  If your friend has just walked in the front door to your house, and the police walk in behind him, your living room is fairly safe because your friend has not yet had an opportunity to develop any access or control.  \n\nBottom line: the longer he's in your house, and the more of your house he has access to, the more of your house might end up being searched.  And if he happens to have a key to your house in his pocket, an awful lot of your house is probably going to get searched.  If you *never* let him in your bedroom, and you can convince the cops of that, your bedroom should never be searched.  It will really all come down to what the cops can articulate later as to why they searched an area of your house based on your friend's probation.  It's a tough hurdle to jump, but it can be done...it's just not all that common in my experience.

If they left with out paying for gas and all they left behind was a card then most likely it was stolen!   But why didn't you guys called the cops??  You should have made a report that such person w/ this type of car came provided a possible stolen card and left w/ out paying for the gas...   \n\nFor all we know this individual may have committed a worst crime minutes earlier! Also, in the future you should write down all license plate #'s down in case this ever happens again.

Who's going to report him? If you do it, you'll just have the cops on your case.\n\n\n\nRemember: It's good to be the king!

Talk to a local attorney. They usually offer free consultations and can tell you what if anything was wrong with what happened in the situation. If you feel there was something wrong with the situation then maybe there was. If anything maybe you can at least get an apology from the chief of police even if there was nothing legally wrong with the situation.

Then both drivers "left the scene of an accident"  and that's not legal.  It may be your car but it's our highway(taxes)  and DLs aren't rights it is a privilege the state can and will revoke for little things.  A police report has to be made on State and Federal highways.  But hey, no cops no foul.  I'd take the $1000 and go too.

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!
