People have to be found guilty of an offence, not merely charged, before any sentence can be passed.
Without any information on the particular offense you are charged with, there is no way of answering this.
No. Being sued is a civil suit, not criminal. You must be charged with a criminal offense to be jailed.
I hope someone answers. I'd like to know myself. My stepson was just charged with manufactoring meth....he was already on probation.
Yes, in California, you can go to jail for threatening someone. Threatening someone with harm is considered a criminal offense and can result in criminal charges and potential imprisonment.
Go to jail
To be taken to jail you must be charged with an offense, or, in some jurisdictions, placed on a limited hold within the jail until either you are released or charged with an offense. That limited. Time is usually 48 hours. In any case, it would not make sense for any police officer to negate to tell you that you are under arrest. When you arrive at the jail, the booking Sgt. or other jailer will tell you what your charges are as well.
"People" don't press charges. The State (in the form of the prosecutor's office) presses charges. If the complainant in the offense you are being charged with is currently in prison, does not mean that you he can't be a witness against you in the offense you allegedly committed against him.
It is possible that you may go to jail. However, if it is a first offense and there has been little or no trouble before, you may only receive probation and a fine.
You should be arraigned within 24-72 hours.
It depends on what type of felony.. if it's a type X felony you will be charged and if the judge is lenient you probably won't get any jail time. but good luck getting a job after a felony, the best way to remove it is by knowing the governor or someone who works for him.
IT depends on the State you Live in but most will arrest you on the spot and you will spend a night in jail. You will have a court date and a punsihment will be decided which will include A steep Fine, Possible Jail time if it is a second or third offense possible community service and a suspended liscense. If you get into a car accident and kill someone you can be charged with murder.
This depends on the state where the driving offense occured and what offense was commited. After your second driving offense of driving after revocation, you would most likely serve jail time.
