Legal Answers
152 Questions Answered
- Q. Accused of theft and drug possession without Miranda rights in Target store.
- A: Miranda warnings are only requied if the People intend on using admissions or confessions one makes upon or after being arresed. They do not apply during the "investigatory" stage. If you made no admissions or if they were made to the store security, there is no Miranda issue. The specific circumstances of the police opening your bag, if it was they, become relevant as well as the timing, so that you will have to discuss with your attorney.
- Q. Duration of serving 1-3 year non-violent felony for possession of stolen property under 'less is more' law in NY.
- A: You can minimize time by being accepted into Shock Incarceration program in prison, which gets you out in 6 months. Eligibility includes that you are under 50 y.o., and cannot have a prior violent felony conviction or a conviction for certain offenses like sex offenses or homicide, don't have sinificant psychological or physical problems, as the latter condition is a prerequisite for required "boot camp" type of daily regimen. You seem to meet the other criteria. Discuss with your attorney.
- Q. I have Tenant month - to month Agreement but she violated the Lease agreement can i move her out immd with in 30 days
- A: If the tenant declines to move out after receiving the legally required notice timely, you cannot get rid of her without starting an eviction proceeding. Be prepared for delays, as the NYS landlord-tenant law was revised to make it more difficult to remove the tenant who is resisting. Make sure you sue for rent during his staying over, as the tenant will stop paying rent once s/he receives the notice. Consult a local landlord-tenant attorney.
