Does a criminal history warrant reasonable suspicion?
Reasonable suspicion is a Fourth Amendment constitutional standard that can be based on multiple factors. Stemming from the 1961 landmark case in Terry v. Ohio, a police officer may only stop, seize or otherwise detain a person if that officer can point to specific and articulable facts that the person seized has, is, or will violate the law. Specific facts don't have to be legal violations themselves and are often only tenuously related to any potential legal violations. Courts often cite time of day, whether the person stopped is in a "high crime area," and whether a person appears nervous as factors supporting reasonable suspicion for a stop. Reasonable suspicion cannot be based on a mere hunch of the officer. Generally, an officer's knowledge that someone has a criminal record would not in and of itself rise to reasonable suspicion for a stop. However, in combination with other factors, such as proximity to another crime, or other "suspicious" behavior, criminal record can be relevant in determining whether reasonable suspicion for a stop. Ultimately, any such question will be up to a judge who reviews whether a reasonable police officer under the totality of the circumstances had sufficient facts to believe the person stopped had or was violating the law.

If your parents give the permission to be emancipated can you be emancipated?
Yes, if a judge of competent jurisdiction agrees.
Can you ask a judge for permission to be with a minor?
No you can not ask a judge to be with a minor sexually. Nor can the parents give permission. The minor have to have reached the age of consent, being emancipated or married in order to have sex legally. If this is regarding dating and not sex that is up to the parents. I seriously doubt any judge would go against that.
What states send you to jail instead of issuing tickets?
When you sign the ticket you are not saying that you are guilty or innocent, you are promising that you will either show up to court or pay the fine. If you refuse to sign the ticket just about any state will send you to jail. If they have reasonable suspicion that you won't be showing up, the police can send someone to jail until they speak to the judge.
Why haven't your court appointed lawyer been to visit you?
