Got arrested for DWI. The cop took my knife which I willingly handed over. The knife was not involved in the crime in any way. I never got it back. I called the property office and they said there was no record of the knife and that the arresting officer didn't know anything about it. Can I sue?

Can I be persecuted for bouncing three checks in a row? I wrote three over the weekend at three different locations and they all bounced today. I'm only in debt $200, but is that enough for me to get into trouble?
EDIT: Prosecuted, not persecuted

You can be prosecuted for intentionally writing bad checks, but you have to have known that they were bad checks at the time you wrote them. Most situations like this are never prosecuted. Instead, you'll likely just have to pay them plus a bounced check fee.
That's what i figured. How would they even prove that I KNEW it was bad... other than the fact that I admitted it on the net.

Shit just went down. A dude who was up at my place for my neighbor's party got his car stuck in a ditch and called AAA. It attracted attention from other older neighbors who then called the cops. The dude got arrested on the grounds of DWI, but the cops never actually saw him operating the vehicle, nor did anyone admit to him having done so. Can they actually convict him of a DWI on the basis of just being drunk and being the owner of the car?

I can almost guarentee he did admit to driving the car. This is always the way it turns out here.
yea they probably beat it out of him.
