I was arrested on the 19th and I still have not received any information about what I was charged with, what penalties Im facing and when I have court. I thought they were supposed to cover all this when they arrested me. They took my license when they arrested me and have not given it back, nor did they give me a paper temporary of any sort. When I left the jail I saw NO paperwork whatsoever(which was a first for me) Is it usual to have to wait so long to hear anything?
Who should I contact to find this information out? The Prosecutor, court or sheriff?

blankk said to fee: btw you're a total fucking psychedelic pimp Turtletotem said: I want to become a sun worshipper, so next time an atheist smugly asks me where god is, I can point smugly at the sun and laugh my ass off. Then I drive away in my solar powered piece of shit car, cool stuff man. And then I go kill a bitch because the flaming orb in the sky told me to do so, and I don't know, oppress a few minorities here and there in the name of nuclear fusion? Religion is fun.

In most cases, in most places, they have 2 years to charge you. They don't have to release your license if they're trying to call it evidence. Just go to the DMV and get a duplicate.
I'd first go to the cop shop and request all you possessions back in writing. Other than that just sit tight and wait to be charged.
If you want the police report or any video/audio they have just file a FOIA at the cop shop. Just remember that by filing it the info will end up on the prosecuetors/city/county/sherrif/or whoever's desk for approval before you get it. e.g. if they didn't bother to watch the video (they usually don't) they will when you request it.
