LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL WHO CAN AFFORD IT \n\n GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT \n unfortunately that is how the law really works

Have you been arraigned on this charge?  If the DA is going to file charges then you will need to hire an attorney.  If you can't afford an attorney a Public Defender will be appointed on your behalf.  You will have a Preliminary hearing where the judge will determine if the DA has enough evidence to take the case to trial.  To be convicted a jury must find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on the evidence.\n\nYou have not provided enough information to get an honest opinion of your guilt or innocence and the likelihood of a conviction based on the evidence the authorities have.  You are leaving a lot out of the story.

It sounds like a "No Contact Order." Which can be issued against a convicted abuser. The Prosecution would need to fear for your safety.\n\nIf this isn't the case. . .

Doesn't sound like it was a misdemeanor. There are all sorts of minor violations which do not become part of any criminal / permanent / public records. If all you got was a ticket, then this is probably not something still on your record.

Your answers are correct. It simply means, sentence me as though I am guilty but I am not admitting I am guilty. And yes, its a conviction on your record.

Why do you incarcerate yourself?  Is your crime so grave?\nCrime was done because you were only frightened and you had alreay recompense your infraction of the law

I am in law enforcement in Maine. The punishment depends on a number of things, including the discretion of the court, your criminal history and the nature of the crime. I encourage you to call the (non-emergency line of) your local police department and you can ask anonymously what sentence that statute holds. I will tell you that officers HATE to take these calls, because there is such a variance from crime to crime and person to person, so you won't get a specific answer, only a possibility.

This is called DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER and is very seriuos\nif your character was tarnished ,you must proof the alegations were untrue to proceed in court for pain and suffering

no they shouldnt be doing that kind of stuff,if that person wasnt charge for any crime.maybe you should ask a lawyer about that.but if you cant afford one go to state lawyer ask them what you should do abou it,k. did that help u out?

Well if you didn't do it fight it to the supreme courts if you have too. If you did, just admit it and move on. I am not sure what the sentence is but jail time or a fine maybe. Steer clear of the x. I have one that is a jerk from you know where too....good luck to you.

If you didnt do it then do plead not guilty. The burden lies with the Police to prove YOU did it. It is not enough for them to prove you probably did it they have to prove it was you that made the violations.\n\nYou will most likely appear before a magistrate rather than a judge. You and the Po;ice will ech have a chance to give evidence and then the magistrat will make a decision.\n\nIf you did do it and you plead Not Guilty and the Police can prove it was you that did the crime the magistrate will take a dim view of your plea.

No, you already plead guilty.  Maybe if there was a technicality or something.  Ask a lawyer, they have free consultations and some will answer you on the phone.

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.

go to the clerk of court web site in your town or county and look it up. \nOn the other hand, if you behave yourself and don't get into trouble, you won't have to worry about things like that!

I wonder what you got arrested for?  Whatever it was hurts your credibility in the eyes of the police.  I don't know if they can refuse to allow you to file a report, but even if you do, It will not be taken too seriously because you got arrested.  You could talk to a lawyer about it, but I think you would be wasting your money.\n\nGood Luck.

It's not the governments job to "work" for me. Crimes that occur on the state level are prosecuted on the federal level.
