Can a retired police officer with 3 felony charges get first time offender status or would he be in big trouble because he knows better?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
Yes and yes. If this is the first case against the officer he will be considered a first time offender even though there are several charges. And, depending on the charges and the facts of the case(s), the DA and the judge may well think, and the sentencing rules may well be applied to infer, that he should have known better so that it could be a negative factor to be used against him.

If I havent been read my miranda rights, can I still be arrested?

Answered by attorney Kathryn L. Hudson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Kathryn L. Hudson
Whenever a person is placed into custodial care, or is otherwise made to believe they are in police custody and are not free to leave, they must be given their Fifth Amendment rights known as the Miranda Warning. If one is made to feel they are not free to leave they should be advised of their rights. If in this situation you should state that you would like an attorney before any questioning is initiated. Once you do that you have exercised your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and no further questioning can take place. Statements made after a person has invoked their rights cannot be used as evidence if no attorney was present during questioning.

How much time will a small amount of meth carry in California?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Joseph A Katz (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Joseph A. Katz Attorney at Law PLC
There is no such thing as "alleged possession" of methamphetamine in California. Possession of a controlled substance, to wit: methamphetamine, is a violation of Health and Safety Code section 11377(a). Though as a felony you can receive up to a year in jail (two-thirds time eligible), or sixteen months, two years or three years in prison (half-time eligible), if you do not have a record and it is a small amount of methamphetamine, as you said, then at the very most I would expect to see probation and possibly some work release time. The thing is, your friend is probably eligible for Diversion, through Penal Code section 1000. If he completes that program,he will receive a total dismissal, as if the incident never happened, in eighteen months. He would even be legally able to say that he'd never been arrested! If, for some reason, your friend is not eligible for PC 1000, then he needs to know that possession of methamphetamine is a "wobbler", and can be made a misdemeanor through Penal Code section 17. The D.A. usually has to agree, but the Judge can do it on his or her own, as well. Too bad he bailed out. He might have been able to get out of jail on his own recognizance.
