What will happen to my minor son if he gets pulled over for speeding and drugs?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
For the type of charges you are referring to, your son is not a minor and will be charged as an adult. What will happen? He could be fined for speeding - not a jailable offense unless he is charged with reckless, which is a gross misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. Possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia. you don't say what type of drugs or what type of paraphernalia or the quantity. It could be charged anywhere from a misdemeanor (max 90 days in jail) up to a felony. He could also loose his license (if he was under the influence - charged with a DUI); could be required to submit to drug treatment. There are many things that can happen. He should retain the services of an attorney.

Agg. assault with deadly weapon

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
It's not necessarily a matter of the questions you should be asking the attorney. It's really more a matter of digging in your heels. I'm not sure where your case was filed, so I'll use Harris County as an example, as that's where a lot of my cases are. In Harris County, this situation happens all the time. A 911 call is made, an allegation is made, the DA's get involved, and someone gets arrested. In a lot of those cases the complainant or complainants recant, or say it didn't happen, or say it didn't happen the way they initially said it happened. That happens so often in Harris County there is an entire division that has been created to handle those cases. What you have to understand is that the DA's don't necessarily need you or your son to prosecute the case. They can rely on whatever other admissible evidence there is. It certainly won't help their case if you and your son refuse to cooperate, and in fact are saying they have completely misjudged the character of the evidence. But it's not a silver bullet that forces them to dismiss. The bottom line is that you need to make sure you have an attorney who is willing to go to trial to fight that case.

Is this slicitation of prostitution?

Kenneth G. Wincorn
Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
Yes, this appears to be a scam. It is is illegal for anyone to ask for money to withhold prosecution of a crime. The danger you face if you send sexual material over the phone is that you may be communicating with a minor or someone posing as a minor. It may also be harrassment if it is unsolicited. Is a terrible idea and can couse major problems.
