On November 17, 2020, you may have received an emergency message on your phone or heard the news. Governor Whitmer has found a way to create lockdown conditions again legally. Michigan is only one of several states renewing or tightening their business and gathering restrictions over surges in new coronavirus cases and hospitalizations. The new restrictions come right before the Thanksgiving holiday.
When you are trying to win back your Michigan driver’s license, there comes a time when all you have left to do is prepare for, attend, and win your hearing.
Assault is by far the most common violent crime reported in America. Aggravated assault accounts for over 60% of violent crimes reported to law enforcement, with robbery at a distant second at 29%. Rape and murder are miniscule by comparison; only 6% and 1% respectively.
Have you been convicted of a DUI crime in Michigan? Are you ready to get your life back now that you’ve paid your penalties and you are committed to never drinking again? You are probably prepared to apply to receive your driver’s license back if your period of eligibility has started. One of the first things you will learn is your car will have to be fitted with an ignition interlock device. If you aren’t familiar with one of these devices, it’s best to know what to expect.
Have you been arrested for a DUI charge in Michigan? One of the first questions people often have is whether they will lose their driver’s license. And if so, what the license restrictions are.
On top of the embarrassment and hassles of going through the process, many people worry that they won’t be able to get to work or school or take care of their children’s needs without a driver’s license.
Winning back your Michigan driver’s license is a big step toward living your life freely again after a DUI arrest.
The MDHHS (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services) has issued an emergency order. Beginning November 2, 2020, bars and restaurants are legally obligated to take your name and phone number before you dine.
Restaurants must also limit seating to 50 people and tables to 6 people, according to a new rule put in place by the MDHHS. If they don’t comply, restaurants and bars could be fined $1,000.
It seems safe to say that Michigan voters want to be safe and feel secure as they vote. On one side, we have people who advocate for no guns at the polling places. The exception is for those carried by law enforcement officers.
This side says that if we allow guns to be carried openly, it constitutes intimidation against voters by other voters. This is in light that it is legal for any American citizen to be a poll watcher.
The other side argues that banning openly carried guns does nothing to deter criminals who are illegally carrying concealed weapons. Thus, making everything less safe should those criminals use their weapons. In that case, the law-abiding gun owners wouldn’t be able to defend themselves lawfully.
If you have just been pulled over, arrested, and charged with a DUI, or OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) in Michigan for the first time, you are probably still reeling from the encounter and worried about what comes next.
Vice President Mike Pence held a rally in Waterford, Michigan, on October 22, 2020. During his hour-long speech, he referenced the 60 minutes interview with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
In a clip that has been aired, Biden called the court system a “live ball.” He said would establish a commission to reform it. Pence insisted it meant Biden would pack the court.
