Can a PL 170.05 be dismissed on grounds of not knowing plates of a car belonged to a different car?

Michael A. Schillinger
Answered by attorney Michael A. Schillinger
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Michael A. Schillinger, Esq.
The short answer to your question is yes, it could potentially be dismissed based upon those grounds. However, getting to a dismissal can be a difficult road. There are a few different ways that you can get there - 1) Your attorney can negotiate with the district attorney, provide them with this information, provide them with proof that the vehicle belonged to a friend and that you could not have possibly known that the plates were forged. 2) There may be some sort of deficiency in the criminal court complaint that could lead to a dismissal. 3) If all else fails, you may be able to get an acquittal at trial, if the Prosecution is unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you, with the intent to defraud, deceive, or injure another, falsely made, completed, or altered the plates.    With all that being said, your attorney should be in contact with the District Attorney's Office, informing them of this information and negotiating a plea deal on your behalf. It's very unlikely that a case like yours, with your background (no prior arrests and 18 yo) would end up with any type of criminal disposition on a misdemeanor forgery case. However, it may be a situation where the District Attorney isn't willing to outright dismiss the case, but instead would offer you some sort of non-criminal disposition, such as an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal with some community service, or a disorderly conduct violation with a fine.

Can there still be an OOP against me without me knowing ii and if so, how can I find out?

Answered by attorney Irwin G. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)

Probably not. Usually a party against whom an Order of Protection is issued is served with the order. Most of the time they are served in court as part of and during a court proceeding. If the Order you're referring to expired in 2016 it's no longer in effect, it's done. Also, if you were acquitted of the charges in the case that the Order was issued the Order of Protection would have been vacated upon the acquittal.

What do I do if the police are looking for me for questioning and I have a warrant for minor surcharges as well?

Answered by attorney Eric E Rothstein (Unclaimed Profile)

Hire a criminal defense lawyer. Do not speak with the police about the case. Having witnesses will not convince the police not to arrest you because they don't want to be the ones to judge the matter. That is for the DA to do. P.S. The police asking you to come in is usually code for they are going to arrest you. Feel free to contact me if you are looking to hire a criminal defense lawyer. Thank you.
