Legal Answers
76 Questions Answered
- Q. Legal to concealed carry and possess weed in Maine traffic stop?
- A: It is a violation of federal law to possess a firearm if you are an "unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance". https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/922
Because THC is a federally controlled substance possessing a firearm and being a user of THC can be charged as a federal offense.
- Q. Should I plead not guilty for driving without a license in Maine?
- A: You should consult with a lawyer before deciding whether to plead guilty. If you don't have a lawyer, or unsure what to do, you should plead not guilty at the initial appearance. Oftentimes an agreement can be reached with the DA to dismiss the criminal charge, especially if you have taken steps to obtain your license.
- Q. Can charges for violating a dismissed PFA be held against a defendant in Maine?
- A: In order to be guilty of violating a protective order, the State would have to prove that at the time the protective order was in place the person violated it. If the protective order is later dismissed that would not be a defense to violating it when it was in effect.
