Thread: Need Advice, recently busted and turned informant (maybe)

Don't call the detective. Call the clerk of court where you're case is to be heard instead. The judge isn't going to be impressed that you've failed to update your current address information. They probably WILL issue a bench warrant for you (if they haven't already), and your best bet will be to call anonymously on Monday, to find out if there is an active warrant out for you or not. If there is, you're going to...

The important thing now is: do not cooperate or even speak to the police without consulting an attorney. It's a possibility that she could be arrested and prints taken, and that possibility is enhanced if she is convinced to consent to an "interview," which would really be an interrogation.

(different specific laws though) #1 Royal prerogative. The Crown can technically ascend any law it wants that doesn't contravene constitutional limitations. Your...

Ideally you will want to pick someone experienced in DWI defense in the parish in which it happened. You may be able to get a free consultation, at least by phone.
