A friend of mine was arrested today for not paying $578.00 that he owed in old court fines and he has to go before a judge Monday. The crime he committed was his first offense-do you think he will just get probation and get out Monday or that they will make him stay until he pays the fine?

I was arrested the day after Christmas for being a week late paying a $60 speeding ticket. (It was traumatic for me. I had five kids. Wasn’t getting child support. Think the court has better ways to spend their time? I’m still angry about that.) Anyhow, I went in front of the judge and we made a payment plan and that was that. Poor guy. He should be able to make payment arrangements, but then again..some judges are jerks..but if it’s his first offense..shouldn’t be a problem…

For example, the victims of Madoff got but a pittance of their money back, but the court levied huge fines against Madoff, ensuring Mddoff would never be completely free until the fines were paid. Whatassurances do the victims have? Same in the Enron debacle.

I doubt the fines, even if eventually collected, will be enough to cover the costs of investigation, prosecution and incarceration. So it’s not like the government "made" money off the deal.

It’s the final time to get your paperwork in order before the June 1 primary elections. Friday evening marked the third deadline for about 700 state and county candidates to file their campaign finance reports.

I’m wondering what the rules are for opting to sit out fines in jail? Haqs anyone ever done it or know someone who has?

I am guessing the rules apply to all people. You’re a prisoner… Do you think you’re special. You get paid in the range of 40.00$ dollars a day towards a fine.

selling a home in this rough economy is tough enough as it is. but a rio rancho homeowner who contacted eyewitness news four says he’s getting slapped with fines… all because he put up a “for sale” sign in his front yard. misa maruyama is live from diamond ridge in rio rancho with our top story. misa. this is what the fuss is all about. the man who lives here — geoffrey padilla — says his homeowner’s association fined him four hundred dollars — because he won’t take down this for sale sign. he says it’s part of the homeowners association agreement. but he says the policy was put into place after he bought his home. he also points out that the developer has for sale signs all over the place. he thinks the builder doesn’t want competition from homeowners. dr horton is the builder here. they have signage everywhere for houses that are available and houses that have been sold across the way here. the housing crunch has hit, and dr horton continues to make its money. we called the homeowners association emergency hotline … four times today — but never got a call back. we also went to the d-r horton sales office. an employee says she couldn’t speak on camera. we asked to speak with her supervisor. the employee says she already left a message — and refused to call a second time. the homeowner says he’s tried to work with both the homeowners association and d-r horton … but keeps getting the run-around

I live in CA and owe almost $5,000 in traffic tickets and fines. My license was suspended and I REALLY need it back. If I file bankruptcy will it clear the fines off so I can get my license back?
I was told the only thing not removed was student loans. Is that correct?

A Chapter 7 will not clear the fines, but you might be able to pay them off over time in a Chapter 13. Contract a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys for a consultation.

Are there fines or criminal punishments for running away from home when your underage?
If I’m 16 years old can I be charged or put into jail if I run away from home? Whats the maximum sentence time or fine?

Thank you.

You would be remanded back to your parents under akind of probation. Chronic running away could land you into a juvenile detention facility

Me and my friend are supposed to going to Canada tomorrow but we’ll be using another friend’s car who won’t be going with us on the trip. What are the laws surrounding that kind of thing? And also are there any fines/how much in relation to that? What would be the consequences if a law or regulation was broken?

If you are american and the car is registered to another american you should be fine with a signed letter including contact numbers from the owner. Also double check to make sure it is insured for the drivers.

Crossing the boarder relatively frequently I randomly get the question of "Who’s vehicle is this?" Seems the question will be even more frequent if the party is several friends travelling together. Lying is not a good idea as you are likely to get caught. Oh, and there are always follow up questions on ownership to double check on your answer.
