- Q. Can I face issues for notifying probation officer of address change but no response?
- A: Possibly. That will depend on if there were any restrictions in place on changing your address without prior approval, or if there was delay in reporting your change of address that runs afoul of their rules. Even if that was the case, not every issue results in a violation letter being sent to the court. You've done yourself a favor by making repeated attempts to update them on your current address, so that will help in the event they do report a violation of a condition of probation. You also did the right thing by not waiting until the next meeting to report the change. Keep the call records of your communications with probation if you can.
- Q. Why were items confiscated from my car after a crash on icy roads?
- A: Not knowing about the details about what was seized and circumstances surrounding the seizure (do not share them online), it's hard to say. You can call or visit the agency that took the items, explain your question about your property to the front desk, and you should get an answer either quickly or once the officer(s) responsible for the seizure return your call. If the officer(s) begin to ask you questions about the incident or what was found, I recommend that you do not volunteer any information unless absolutely required.
- Q. Can I purchase a firearm if I filed for a protective order in Virginia?
- A: As the petitioner, you are not "subject to" the protective order for purposes of Virginia's gun laws. The prohibitions relate to the respondent you have filed against. You should be fine so long as nothing else disqualifies you from purchasing or possessing a firearm.
