Q. How to correct errors in my criminal history report for current Maine charges?
A: You will want to obtain a certified copy of the judgements in the prior cases. The certified copies are the official record of what occurred in the prior cases. Your lawyer can request these from the Court.
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.
