Q. Can a minor use Bluetooth while driving in md. My daughter was told by an officer that she could.

May 16, 2023

A: No, a minor cannot use a wireless communication device.

Q. Could I call a tow truck on a car that is blocking the sidewalk for weeks now? Should I leave a notice to move the car?

May 5, 2023

A: If the car leaves and returns to the location and continues to block the sidewalk on each occasion, a note on the windshield might suffice. If the car has remained in place for some time, the better approach might be to call the police and report that the car is seemingly abandoned and/or, if accurate, causing a safety hazard. Under that circumstance, the Police might determine to have the car towed. You can personally call a towing company, but I would expect that service would come at some personal cost, versus working through local law enforcement.

Q. My attorney failed me. How can I be prejudged without my evidence and complete statement heard by the states attorney?

April 17, 2023

A: The Office of the State's Attorney has the prerogative either to prosecute, dismiss or in your case(s), place the cross assault cases filed against both you and your ex on an inactive or "stet" docket. Neither case, if "stetted" was dismissed. Thus, if you possess evidence you believe was not presented to the State which proves that you were the victim of an assault (and does not suggest that during some confrontation with your ex you became the "aggressor" and also committed an assault), there is nothing to prevent you from now presenting that evidence to the State to reconsider and possibly "reopen" the "stetted" case against your ex. However, since your post indicates that the State was inclined to side with your ex and possibly dismiss its case against him, the fact that his case was also "stetted" might have been to your benefit, since if the behavior reoccurs in the future, the next offense, as well as the one now inactive, could be reopened. I presume that as a condition of the stets, you are both required to avoid any future unlawful conduct with the other and hopefully the status of the two cases will suffice to prevent further interactions between you.
