I think you are cherry picking statements out of what I said without reading it all. I said you generally can't STOP without probable cause - I...
if its your first court setting - don't expect to go to trial. You won't go to trial on the initial setting - in municpal/jp courts you generall...
Again, something struck down by the courts (the famous Lawrence v Texas) that the legislature hasn't removed...sometimes I wonder if they keep...
You're absolutley right - that provision does exist in the transportation code. However, the courts have said it is illegal. It's been struck...

What you're stating would be an argument for trial on a ticket like that. However, if one of the lights was out and the officer could articulate...

you'd be wrong. The Supreme Court has said officers can search any compartment inside a car that can contain the contraband they have probable...
He's wrong - no offense to those who work as interns in the DAs office, but as someone who has actually tried criminal trials, the elements are...
If you do - you're violating your oath as a juror. You technically only find out the penalties for the charges if the judge, prosecutor, or...
