Tax Bill Calculation
Attorney Clyde Guilamo explains how a Cook County Homeowner's property tax bill is calculated.
- Q. During a plenary order of protection hearing my attorney failed to present the evidence and witnesses
- A: Hello. I'm sorry to hear that all of that happened to you. Unfortunately, you did not actually include a question to answer. Try re-writing the question.
- Q. Is there any punishment if any?
- A: If this incident happened in Indiana, you should post this as a question for lawyers in Indiana. Crimes are charged in the county where the crime occurred, not in the county where you live. But to answer you underlying question, yes you can be charged for underringing items at a self checkout. I've had to defend someone for that very situation. If the amount is very small, an innocent mistake would definitely explain it. But if the difference was more than $100, less people will think that it was a mistake.
- Q. Can police charge someone just for their fingerprints being found on a small of drugs if that's all they have?
- A: Yes. Charging someone with an offense is different from being found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. What's important here is that fingerprints show that a some point, a person has touched an object. Fingerprints cannot tell you when a person touched an object. Generally, a good defense attorney should know how to argue a fingerprint only case.
