If you are arrested for shoplifting, can the store keep items of yours that did not come from their store?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Items can be seized to hold as evidence. You'll get to make your arguments in court for return. No lawyer is going to tell you to plead guilty. When arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? A little free advice: exercise the 5th Amendment right to SHUT UP and do NOT talk to police or anyone about the case except an attorney. Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. While this isn't a 'capital case', you certainly face fines and potential jail, so handle it right. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. If it is your first offense, if you have a clean record, your attorney MAY be able to get a deal that avoids jail, and avoids a conviction on your record.

If provided the right to do so when created, an airport authority could pass an ordinance for the airport or land that it controls.

How can I stop my 17-year old cousin from having sexual intercourse with her 29-year old boyfriend?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
Sadly, there is not much you can do, other than hope she begins to see the light. I suspect that she is already having sex with your cousin; they are just denying it. A 29 year old, dating a 17 year old.... doesn't say much about the 29 year old. If I were to guess, I would say he, at most, has a high school education... maybe hasn't even graduated; probably holds an minimum wage job, if he is employed; probably has some level of involvement with drugs. One has to seriously wonder why a 29 year old has to be involved with a girl 12 year younger (almost 1/2 his age).
