Legal Answers
365 Questions Answered
- Q. What recourse do I have against the police department not citing a person who ran a red light and collided with us?
- A: You and your family can make a claim against the other driver's insurance company for property damage and bodily injury. If any of you were injured, you should retain an attorney. All of your claims are against the other driver and not the police. The police cannot be sued for failing to issue a citation. They have complete discretion whether to do so and the failure to issue a ticket will have no effect on your ability to be compensated for your damages.
- Q. Hi I was arrested and received a fare evasion citation in PG County MD with $50 fine and no jail. Need help
- A: You can only get the charge expunged immediately after court if you were acquitted of the charge or the State entered a nolle prossequi dropping the charge. If you are convicted and receive probation before judgment, you must wait three years to get it expunged or sooner if you can show good cause. If the case is placed on the stet docket, you must wait three years.
- Q. If one were pulled over in Maryland for driving an unregistered vehicle, would he get a court summons or criminal record
- A: No, you will not automatically get a trial date. You have 30 days from the date of the incident to request a trial or waiver hearing or to pay the citation. If you fail to act, your license will be suspended. You should request a trial and not a waiver hearing if you wish to contest the ticket. This is a minor traffic ticket which will not give you a criminal record.
