Legal Answers
170 Questions Answered
- Q. What is the fine for 1st offense Section 56-3-1360 traffic violation
- A: That statute does not provide for a penalty so you have to go to: SECTION 56-3-2520. Penalties. It is a misdemeanor for any person to violate any of the provisions of this chapter unless such violation is by this chapter or other law of this State declared to be a felony. Unless another penalty is by the laws of this State provided every person convicted of a misdemeanor for violation of any provisions of this chapter shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars or imprisonment for not more than thirty days. Therefore the maximum penalty is $100 (plus all assessments I believe ends up at around $257.50) or up to 30 days in jail.
- Q. When a person "gets in my face" because of road rage, could that be prosecuted as assault or attempted murder,
- A: Depending on the particular facts of your case someone could be charges with simple assault (3rd degree) under SC Law. 16-3-300(E)(1) A person commits the offense of assault and battery in the third degree if the person unlawfully injures another person, or offers or attempts to injure another person with the present ability to do so. (2) A person who violates this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned for not more than thirty days, or both.
- Q. My boyfriend has to go to motion to revoke bond court and my question is how can he be able to get to come back home?
- A: He needs to hire an attorney to present his case the the Judge! If he qualifies for a public defender it would be best to reach out to them and make sure that someone has been assigned to his case. I would never recommend for someone to go to a motion to revoke bond on his/her own.
