Is it legal for a parent to consent for a minor.to have sex with another minor?
I spoke with my 14 year old daughter today and she advised me she is having sex with a 16 year old boy here in missouri . I called her MOTHER over to my house and was speaking with her over the situation and she knowingly agrees and let’s this happen. Is all this legal?

Justin’s Answer
Given that sex between the two children is legal, I cannot think of any law that it violates. I could not find an applicable “Contributing to the Delinquency” charge. You are free to call the police if you disagree.

It may be that family court is the best solution to your problem: if you feel that not having sex is in your daughter’s best interest, you can petition the court for an order prohibiting her mother from allowing it in her home. Of course, then your daughter would just have sex outside the home, which actually sounds less safe.

Can I get my license back without doing all the required stuff?

   

Can I get my license back without doing all the required stuff?
Back in April 2002, I got a DWI, driving on a revoked (revoked for refusal to blow on a previous, that I can no longer find a record for, but either in March or April, same year) and running a red light. I believe I was ordered to do SATOP, get the ignition blow thing for a year and SR22 for a year. I have not done any of those things, but did the 5 day jail sentence. I have known people to have done a lot worse than I, and still have their drivers license, without doing all the required stuff. So I would like to know how they got around it, and if it’s at all possible that I can? I haven’t driven in over 16 years and I also, no longer consume alcohol.

Justin’s Answer
https://dor.mo.gov/drivers/reinstatement.php lists the steps to reinstatement. Yes, you have to do SATOP, get the SR22, and an interlock device. I’m not familiar with anyway around that; I suspect that anyone telling you they didn’t have to do all that stuff either had their DWI before the law changed, in a different jurisdiction, or they are lying to you. You can hire an attorney to try to research a loophole, or you can just go to the DMV and ask what steps are required to get your license.

My disabled nabor was being beaten by some one and the guy maced him and I saw it and beat the guy up who was beating my friend up that can’t defend himself is this self defense

Justin’s Answer
I agree with the above: while what you described might be a defense, you shouldn’t be posting the details of your case online. If you are charged, a defense attorney will know how to best present the defense.

If a detective calls you and ask you to come in for questioning

  

If a detective calls you and ask you to come in for questioning
A detective called my friend and said he wants him to come in for questioning about missing jewelry and he wants to hear his side of the story, and if he doesnt then he says he’ll put out a warrant for his arrest, but the cops haven’t came to his door yet.

Justin’s Answer
Mr. Hardin is correct. The police do not want to hear your friend’s story, they want him to say something incriminating. Even if your friend is innocent, he should not speak with the police without contacting an attorney.

How did I do community service for a municipal court then get charged in a criminal Court for same case, same case number?

   

How did I do community service for a municipal court then get charged in a criminal Court for same case, same case number?
I was charged with possession of a control substance less than 35 grams of marijuana I had to go to a municipal court the judge said plead guilty and ill keep it off your record just complete 20 hrs community service which I complied now I got a letter 3 months later saying state vs me and I got to come and enter a plea but I already did in the other court.. Is that legal? What can I do they say its a class d felony

Justin’s Answer
This issue cannot be resolved over a post. You need to contact a local criminal defense attorney and have them investigate your case. It sounds like your possession case was too serious for municipal court and got moved to the circuit court.

As a private investigator can I press charges on a subject?

  

As a private investigator can I press charges on a subject?
Can I press charges against a subject on behalf of my client due to their fear for potential ramifications?

Justin’s Answer
Individual parties do not “press charges”. The prosecutor does. If you suspect someone has committed a crime, you can contact the police or prosecutor and report it. Then the prosecutor will decide if there is enough evidence to press charges.

How can Missouri 610.140.7 say a record will be “closed”, and 610.140.8 say all your rights will be restored?

   

How can Missouri 610.140.7 say an expunged record will be “closed”, and 610.140.8 say all your rights will be restored?
I had a class c felony from 1990 removed but it’s still on my record. Section 8 of this law says all rights lost as a result of this conviction will be restored. With this record still there as a “closed” file, I still can’t pass a background check for a firearm.

Criminal Defense Attorney Justin’s Answer
This is going to be difficult to answer in a post. My guess is you will need to speak to a federal attorney because federal law may still prevent you from owning a firearm even if state law has cleared you. You might also have other convictions that are holding you up: any conviction for drugs or domestic violence can prevent you from getting a firearm.

 

Will I get in trouble for making a false statement to the police?

   

False statement false statement to police false statement to police police officer

Question

Will I get in trouble for making a false statement to the police?
Well back in December I called the cops on my fiancee and made a police report but it was not  exactly true and now hes in trouble being charged with a crime that he did not do? I am scared to tell the cops and the prosecutor in the case cause I am scared I will go to jail and I have never been arrested and I have never been in jail, the only thing on my record is a ticket for not wearing my seat belt, will I get in trouble?

Criminal Defense Lawyer, R. Christopher Simons Answer
Giving false statements to police is a crime. However, you will probably be in less trouble if the truth comes from you than if it comes from an investigation. You should contact a criminal defense attorney in your area to learn the best way to report your actions if wish to correct your mistake.

Will I be charged with 3 dwi/DUI if I have 2 DUI charges in Florida in 2 different counties and convicted of a dwi in another

  

Will I be charged with 3 dwi/DUI if I have 2 DUI charges in Florida in 2 different counties and convicted of a dwi in another
I moved out of state and have not been a resident of Florida for over a year and I was charged with a dwi in an out of state county will I be charged with a felony if convicted out of state

Justin’s Answer
If the third DWI is in Missouri, then yes, Missouri counts convictions from other states. However, they may have trouble PROVING those convictions, so you should consider hiring an attorney rather than just pleading guilty.

If the third DWI is in Florida, you will have to put the location of your question as Florida so someone licensed in that state can answer. I assume that Florida also counts DWIs from other states, but cannot say for certain.

Either way, hire an experienced DWI attorney. DWI investigations are so complex that there is a lot of room for error. They are a relatively easy case for an attorney to fight.

Can a lawyer appear in court for me if I was charged with a misdemeanor ?

   

Can a lawyer appear in court for me if I was charged with a misdemeanor ?
I was arrested for possession of marijuana and was sentenced a fine and a court date but I’m international and had to go back to my country because my visa would expire. Do I have to go to my court date or can a lawyer go for me?

Justin’s Answer
A lawyer can appear for you, request time to pay, and explain the situation. However, if you plead guilty to drug possession, you may find it difficult to get back into the country. You should talk to a lawyer about setting aside your plea and getting the charged amended to something else.

How do I file the paperwork to petition the court to get my license back?

   

How do I file the paperwork to petition the court to get my license back?
It’s been 8 years since I got my license revoked and I want to get it back. I got my dui in camdenton Missouri

Justin’s Answer
If it’s only one DWI, you should be able to go to the DMV to get reinstated. If you have a denial, you need to file a petition in the court where you got your last conviction. It’s a complicated process so I would suggest hiring an attorney for it rather than going it alone.

How do I get a diversion

Justin’s Answer
In Raytown, I do not believe the prosecutors will negotiate a diversion with you unless you have an attorney. The attorney will negotiate the terms with the prosecutor and tell you how to complete it.

Is it legal for me to move out of my home at 16 in Missouri? Also can my parents press charges on my 19 year old boyfriend?
I live with my parents and they don’t like my boyfriend and continue to threaten the law into this situation since we have had sex.

Justin’s Answer
If your boyfriend is under 21 and you are over 15 the statutory rape laws would not apply. You will have to ask an experienced family lawyer about the process for emancipation as it is outside of my experience.

Will I go to jail for 4th degree domestic violence with absolutely no prior arrests or charges in my life?

   

Will I go to jail for 4th degree domestic violence with absolutely no prior arrests or charges in my life?
Fight with daughter no injuries she is dropping charges

Justin’s Answer
DA 4th is an A Misdemeanor, so you can do up to 1 year in jail or be fined up to $2,000. Your daughter CANNOT drop the charges. Only the prosecutor or judge can do so. Asking your daughter not to cooperate is also a crime, Tampering with a Witness. DV is a very serious charge: a conviction will jeopardize your second amendment rights and be nearly impossible to clear from your record. You need to hire an attorney to help with this issue.

Can a neighbor get a restraining order to kick me out of my house?

   

Can a neighbor get a restraining order to kick me out of my house?
My neighbor across the street and I had an encounter that ended with them assaulting me and putting me in the hospital. I filed for a restraining order with the evidence (audio recording of the assault, photos, hospital bills, etc). After being served they filed for restraining orders against me (same court date) claiming a bunch of things that are flat out lies, there will be no evidence of, and that span the last several months claiming that they feel in danger. It is clearly a case of retaliation for me filing. Someone told me that if they DO get a restraining order however that there’s a chance I could be forced to move. Is this true? Can someone really make you move with a restraining order? I doubt that there is any chance of them getting one since it is all made up (why would you say I was walking the neighborhood with a gun threatening them for over a month every night, stalking you and your kids, etc when you never called the police and you only mentioned it six days after I filed a restraining order against you? There was only police call over the one incident and no other interaction for the past 3 years.). I just want to know if this is true…

Justin’s Answer
I agree with the other posters. I have not heard of someone being forced to move because of a neighbor. However, if you do not want to risk it, hire an experienced attorney to represent you at the hearing.
