Pleasant Lake, MI Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

This a question better suited for your actually attorney because I don't know what you were originially charged with, what the conditions were of your parole and what kind of case they have against you for Assault DV? Generally if you are on parole and you violate it you could get the balance of time you haven't served.

It is always up to the prosecutor on whether or not to pursue charges. They always have the discretion as they are the ones bringing the charges on behalf of the people. However, you can offer your input and make your request known and the reason why. They will take it into consideration, but at the end of the day the ultimate decision will be made by the prosecutor's office. As a matter of practice, prosecutors do not like to pursue cases with hesitant or reluctant victims, but they can and sometimes will.

I would go to the police department in question, and make out a report that the officer (hopefully you have his name) threatened to arrest you if you did not allow a search of your home. Tell them he also threatened to have you fired from your job. Tell them you are here to turn yourself in for the arrest. Of course, the officer was lying to you, as you do not have to permit the police to search your home without a warrant, except in "exigent circumstances." If there were any exigent circumstances, he would have pushed by you to enter the home without your consent. If the local police will not take your complaint, bring it to the State Police. The officer in question is breaking the law, and needs supervision by higher authorities, which will not happen without a citizen complaint.
