Legal Answers
24 Questions Answered
- Q. How to check if my NY license is suspended if I'm in NC?
- A: You should go to the NYS DMV website and order a copy of your NY abstract. It should be about $7 dollars. This will give you the status of your NYS driving privileges as well as any paid or unpaid tickets you have incurred in the last years..
- Q. Why request a 30-day seal if the case was dismissed with prejudice?
- A: Assuming your case was dismissed upon a motion pursuant to CPL 30.30, I believe you may have heard wrong and the ADA may have been requesting 30 days to decide whether or not they wish to argue the decision pursuant to a motion to reargue. The statutory timeframe for filing this motion is 30 days from the date of entry of the dcision. This is in essence a formal written request of the judge to review his decision and change his/her mind based on facts brought up by the ADA. Remember that 30.30 dismisal time for an A misdemeanor is more than 90 days and for a felony is 6 months.
- Q. In New York State, is it legal for unmarked police cars to give speeding tickets?
- A: Yes. A law enforcement officer does not need to be in a marked police car to issue a ticket for a violation of the VTL.
