If u committed a crime b4 a law was passed can u b puished 4 da crime? Even if ur courtdate is after da passin
Ok im 15 and I had gotten into a fight back in march at my school. The courtdate was supposed 2 b in May and then they pushed it back 2 june and then they pushed it back again 2 august 7.(Let me just say they said I have 2 b on house arrest to my next courtdate which was suppose 2 b june,but ended up having 2 b august cause they couldn't get there stuff together. So I hav 2 suffer, still spending all my summer at my house)Earlier this week on mon. I got my permit(I was so happy)Then yesterday my probation officer came by and my mom had told her I got my permit and she said"U know there going 2 take it away right? For 6 months. They just passed the law at the beginning of July. If a juvenile gets convicted they take away ur permit"(I live n VA)Yall kno I was mad. I mean that doesn't even seem right. 2 punish me 4 something that was committed before the law was passed and that wouldn't even b relevent now if it wasn't for dem pushing the date back. Do they have a right 2 do dat?
Answers:
If you need to go to court over the fight then there was something that was worthy of being arrested for, before the other law came up . Either way in my opinion you need to worry about what you did & not the fact that you may get your permit taken away. You did something wrong so you need to face the consequences of the act. The bigger trouble you get into the bigger the punishment. Grow up & take responsibility.
Wow, I'm glad someone has enough will power NOT to get hooked on phonics...
And they have every right to do that. Feel free to challenge it, but you're going to need a lawyer who's not from legal aid.
