User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The requirements for testing before being put on house arrest vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In some cases, individuals may be tested for drugs or alcohol as part of their assessment for eligibility for house arrest. However, not all jurisdictions require testing before being placed on house arrest. It is best to consult with a legal professional or the relevant authorities to get accurate information regarding your specific situation.

How long can you be held on house arrest before a court case is thrown out if the prosecutor can't be found?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The length of time someone can be held on house arrest without a court case being thrown out due to a missing prosecutor varies depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances. It is generally expected that a defendant should not be held indefinitely without a prosecutor, so it's possible that the court may eventually dismiss the case if a prosecutor cannot be found within a reasonable time frame. However, it is important to consult with a lawyer to understand the specific laws and processes in your jurisdiction.

What happens if you cut off your house arrest ankle bracelet what is the charge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It go beep really loud and the cops come.

Seriously, if you tamper with or remove the anklet placed on you for house arrest, you will be arrested and returned to jail to serve out your sentence. In addition you may be charged with attempted absconding, attempted escape, failure to complete a court order, contempt of court, destruction of state property, and other minor charges.

Keep in mind that if you are charged with absconding or escape, these are both felonies that carry lengthy prison sentences. If you think house arrest is difficult, wait until you are a guest of the state.

Was house arrest in the bible?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it was! In fact, Paul the Apostal was often jailed and misunderstood by the people of that time (see: Acts chaper 21:27-36, chapter 27 and 28). Jeremiah the Prophet was also on house arrest as a result of phrophecying things to come from God (Jeremiah 23:1-31). Many men in the bible withstood pain and suffering (David, Solomon, job, Ruth and Naomi, etc.). Do a google search on "house arrest and the bible" to find more resources. You may also google "Jeremiah and house arrest" to read about his house arrest.

Just let me say that because house arrest is in the bible doesn't mean that it is an okay thing to experience. House arrest has many of the same connatations as "real jail time" in a prison does, although it is a bit more lax and less structured. However, I don't want to give you the impression that house arrest is a good thing just because some men in the bible have experienced it as well. But what I do want to do is give you hope that house arrest can work to your benefit by helping you develop (by seeking the scriptures, that is) a greater person and profound insight about God, your relationship to God, and the trials and tribulations you are going through.

The bible has many stories of empowerment that relate very much to the lives we live today. Back in biblical days, men experienced visions and prophetic dreams, divorce, betrayal, coveteousness, jealousy, intimidation, uncertainty, depression, anxiety, selfishness, etc. This is one reason why the bible is such a great companion. The bible is like a wise account of our every day struggles and you can always seek scripture and gain more insight than you would have if you hadn't pursued the bible (see I Chronicles chapter 28:9).

I would encourage you to read the book of Job (from beginning to end) so that you can see just how tribulation and extreme pain can turn out for your good. Job can attest to the many days that he felt abandoned and that he wanted to take his life and die. He can attest to the greatest reward once one comes through a terrible situation. Paul (in Acts) can show you how a relationship with God can develop into a wonderful tapestry through suffering. Did you know that Paul wrote Ephesians, Philemon, Colossians, and Phillipians while on house arrest? Did you know that Paul had to serve an extra amount of time on house arrest when he entered another country? Read Acts and you'll find out!

I wish you well,

What did Galileo discover while under house arrest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He developed a hypothesis for the motion of physics by using a ball and an incline. He found that when a ball rolls down an incline, it accelerates towards the bottom of the incline. When a ball rolls up an incline, it decelerates. And when a ball is on a flat surface, it moves at a constant speed because a force acts downwards in the vertical direction. As Newton discovered after Galileo died, this particular force is gravity. It is also the force responsible for the acceleration and deceleration of a ball while rolling down and rolling up an incline, respectively.

On a double incline, Galileo found that a ball returns to the same vertical height that it was released from. (see what a double incline is, and you'll get it)


Also, he found that neither the angle nor the total distance travelled of a rolling ball matters, only vertical height.


So in contrast to Aristotle's previous theory that the natural state of objects is at rest, Galileo discovered that the proper state of motion is not at rest, but to continue in its current state of motion. Galileo's experiments with the motion of balls is the basis for Newton's law of inertia (or his first law of motion).

Can a 16-year-old move out of their parents' home and move in with another adult?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As long as your parents have legal custody of you, they have the authority to decide where you live until you reach the age of majority (usually 18, but in some states it's older--never younger). If you leave home without their permission, they can have your picked up by the authorities and returned home. Whoever takes you in when you runaway, could also potentially be facing charges. This relative could petition the court for custody, but generally speaking, unless they can prove the parents to be unfit in some way, it's rather unlikely that they would be successful. Of course, I don't know the details of your situation.

How do you get off house arrest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You probably can't. You can file a motion with the court requesting it, but there aren't that many alternatives. The judge has you confined because he/she doesn't feel that they can release you in the general population. The only other alternative would seem to be incarcerated in jail.

The defendant was release on bond with the condition of house arrest. Who has the custody over the defendant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The defendant is under the order of the court. House arrest is a PRIVILEGE. If he is on house arrest and this information is communicated to law enforcement (which it probably has) if he leaves the property to which he is confined he can be arrested on sight.

Why was Shah Jahan under house arrest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Soon after the completion of the Taj Mahal India in 1648, Shah Jahan became seriously ill. As he lay dying he witnessed the fierce hostility among his four sons in their struggle to succeed him. His four children had grown up in an atmosphere of bitter rivalry even though they were all the sons his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The expectation of their father's death provoked them into a savage contest for power

Aurangzeb had an acute sense of political realism and a fierce appetite for power. He was the superior in both military talent and administrative skills and easily outclassed his brothers in the bid for power. After a bitter struggle he was crowned emperor in 1659. His father had not died as everyone had expected but sick and ailing, Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son, the new emperor in the Agra fort.

There he remained, confined for eight years, under house arrest, until his death. From the balcony of Muasamman Burj tower he could look down on the beautiful monument he had created for his beloved wife, the Taj Mahal India.
